Quick Reference Guide
Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) with Low Speed
Follow
(P496)
Helps maintain a constant vehicle speed and
a set following-interval behind a vehicle
detected ahead of yours and, if the detected
vehicle comes to a stop, can decelerate and
stop your vehicle, without you having to
keep your foot on the brake or the
accelerator.
Lane Keeping Assist
System (LKAS)
(P514)
Provides steering input to help keep the
vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and
provides tactile and visual alerts if the
vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane.
Road Departure
Mitigation System
(P535)
Alerts and helps to assist you when the
system detects a possibility of your vehicle
unintentionally crossing over detected lane
markings and/or leaving the roadway
altogether.
Traffic Jam Assist (P 523)
The traffic jam assist system uses a radar
sensor mounted behind the emblem and a
camera mounted to the interior side of the
windshield, behind the rearview mirror to
detect and monitor left and right white
(yellow) traffic lane lines as well as any
vehicle ahead. Based on inputs from the
radar sensor and camera, the system adjusts
the speed of your vehicle to maintain a set
interval between your vehicle and the one
detected ahead. It also applies steering
torque to keep your vehicle in the center of
the detected lane when you are driving in
heavy traffic.
Traffic Sign Recognition
System
(P 541)
Reminds you of road sign information, such
as the current speed limit, your vehicle has
just passed through, showing it on the
driver information interface and the head-
up display
*.

uuWhen Driving uVehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA ®), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC), System
Continued
Driving
Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA ®), aka Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), System
VSA ® helps to stabilize the vehicle during corn ering if the vehicle turns more or less
than what was intended. It also assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces.
It does so by regulating engine outp ut and selectively applying the brakes.
When VSA ® activates, you may notice that the
engine does not respond to the accelerator.
You may also notice some noise from the
hydraulic brake system. You will also see the
indicator blink.
■VSA ® Operation
1 Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA® ), aka Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), System
The VSA ® may not function properl y if tire type and
size are mixed. Make sure to use the same size and
type of tire, and the air pressures as specified.
When the VSA ® system indicator comes on and stays
on while driving, there may be a problem with the
system. While this may not interfere with normal
driving, have your vehi cle checked by a dealer
immediately.
VSA ® cannot enhance stability in all driving situations
and does not control the entire braking system. You
still need to drive and corner at speeds appropriate
for the conditions and alwa ys leave a sufficient
margin of safety.
The main function of the VSA ® system is generally
known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC). The
system also includes a traction control function.
The vehicle stability assist
TM (VSA ®) system, adaptive
cruise control (ACC) with low speed follow, safety
support and low tire pressu re/TPMS indicators may
come on in amber along with a message in the driver
information interface when you set the power mode
to ON after reconnecting the battery.
Drive a short distance at more than 12 mph (20 km/h).
Each indicator should go off. If any do not, have your
vehicle checked by a dealer.
