Canceling ACC
You can press CANCEL or MAIN, or press the brake
pedal. The ACC indicator goes off.
Certain conditions may cause ACC to cancel
automatically. When this happens, the amber ACC
indicator appears on the multi-information display
(see page 22).
After cruise control has been canceled, you can still resume the prior set speed by
pressing RES/ACCEL when your vehicle speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h).
When in Operation
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you when ACC is

decelerates your vehicle’s set speed to keep the
vehicle’s set following distance from the vehicle
ahead.
If a vehicle detected ahead of you slows down
abruptly, or if another vehicle cuts in front of you,
a beep sounds and BRAKE appears on the multi-
information display to alert you.
Improper use of ACC can lead to a crash.
Use ACC only when traveling on open highways in good weather.
WARNING
ACC has limited braking capability.
When your vehicle speed drops below 22 mph, ACC will automatically cancel
and no longer will apply your vehicle’s brakes.
Always be prepared to apply the brake pedal when conditions require.

signal activated, a message appears in
the MID.
Steering wheel torque and vibrations
are applied to help your vehicle stay in
the lane. Braking may also be applied if
the lane lines are solid and continuous.
If the system operates several times without detecting driver response, the system
beeps to alert you.
Turning the System On or Off Press the RDM button to turn the system on or off.
A green indicator appears on the button
when the system is on.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal
Explanation
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat
and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct
tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator
to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement
or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.Tire Repair Kit
If a tire has a small puncture, you can use the tire repair kit to temporarily repair it.
The puncture must be smaller than 3/16-inch (4 mm) and not in the tire sidewall.
Go to a dealer to have the full-size tire permanently repaired or replaced.
Before Repairing the Tire
1. Park the vehicle on firm, level, non-slippery surface.
2. Make sure the vehicle is in Park (P), and apply the parking brake.
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights, and turn the vehicle off.
Getting Ready to Repair the Tire
1. Open the trunk floor lid.
2. Remove the kit.
3. Place the kit face up on flat ground near the
punctured tire and away from traffic. Do not
place the kit on its side.
4. Follow the instructions in the kit to repair the
tire.
Do not use an unapproved puncture-repairing agent other than the one provided
in the kit that came with your vehicle. If a different agent is used, you may
permanently damage the tire pressure sensor.
