Driving
Use the paddle shifters to change betwee n 1st and 9th gears without removing your
hands from the steering wheel. The transmission will switch to the sequential mode.
■When the transmi ssion is in (D (D-paddle shift mode):
The vehicle will go into the sequential m ode momentarily, and the gear selection
indicator becomes more prominent.
The sequential mode is automatically canc eled and the gear selection indicator
returns to ordinary display under the following conditions.
• Hold the

• Once you start traveling at a constant speed.
• The vehicle comes to a complete stop.
• When you change to another Integrated Dynamics System mode.
The sequential mode automatically shifts under following condition
• Accelerator pedal depressed beyond the click.
• Engine speed reaches near the tachometer red zone.
• Engine speed reaches idle speed while deceleration.

uuWhen Driving uVehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA ®), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC), System
Driving
This button is on the driver side control panel.
This button is used to change VSA ® modes.
See below for more information.
VSA ® is turned on every time you turn the
power system on, even if you press the button
the last time you drove the vehicle.
■When the Integrated Dynamics Syst em mode is in QUIET mode, SPORT
mode, or SPORT+ mode To enter Stuck Vehicle Assist mode, press
the VSA® OFF button until a single beep is
heard and the VSA ® OFF indicator illuminates.
u This message appears on the driver
information interface for a few seconds.
If the Integrated Dyna mics System mode is
changed, VSA ® will remain in Stuck Vehicle
Assist mode.
To exit Stuck Vehicle Assist mode, press the
VSA ® OFF button until a single beep is heard
and the VSA ® OFF indicator extinguishes.
■VSA ® On and Off1 Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA® ), aka Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), System
In Stuck Vehicle Assist mode, your vehicle will have
normal braking and corn ering ability, but VSA®
traction and stability enhancement becomes less
effective.
In certain unusual conditions when your vehicle gets
stuck in shallow mud or fr esh snow, it may be easier
to free it with Stuck Vehicle Assist mode.
In Stuck Vehicle Assist mode, the traction control
function becomes less effective. This allows for the
wheels to spin more freely at low speed. You should
only attempt to free your vehicle with the button
pressed if you are not able to free it without.
Immediately after freeing your vehicle, be sure to
press the button again. We do not recommend
driving your vehicle with Stuck Vehicle Assist mode.
You may hear a motor sound coming from the front
of the vehicle while system checks are being
performed immediately after turning the power
system on or while driving. This is normal.VSA ® OFF Indicator

■When the Integrated Dynamics System mode is in TRACK mode
When you set the Integrated Dynamics System mode to TRACK, the VSA ® system
switches to Track mode and the VSA ® OFF indicator comes on. The VSA ® features
do not stop, but the thresholds for them to activate become higher. Additional care
should be used while driving in TRACK mode, and TRACK mode should only be
used while driving on closed circuits.
To enter Stuck Vehicle Assist mode, press
the VSA® OFF button until a single beep is
heard. u This message appears on the driver
information interface for a few seconds.
If the Integrated Dynamics System mode is
changed, VSA® will remain in Stuck Vehicle

To exit Stuck Vehicle Assist mode, press the
VSA ® OFF button until a single beep is heard.
u This message appears on the driver
information interface.1When the Integrated Dynamics System mode is in TRACK mode
In OFF mode, your vehicle wi ll have normal braking
and cornering ability, bu t it will not have VSA®
traction and stability enhancement.
When the VSA ® system is off, the traction control
system and agile handling assist system are also off.
We do not recommend driving your vehicle with the
VSA ®, traction control syst em, and agile handling
assist system switched off.
If the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on or
blinks, the VSA® system comes on automatically. In
this case, you can select Stuck Vehicle Assist mode
to free a stuck vehicle, but you cannot select the
VSA ® OFF mode by pressing the button.

When Stopped
1.Depress the brake pedal firmly.
2. With the brake pedal depressed, pull up th e electric parking brake switch slowly,
but fully.
3. Change the gear position to
(P.
4. Turn off the power system.
u The electric parking brake indicator goes off in about 15 seconds.
Always set the parking brake, in particular if you are parked on an incline.
During Auto Engine Stop, th e gear position changes to
(P and the engine restarts
automatically under the following conditions:
• You unfasten the driver side seat belt and open the door.
1Parking Your Vehicle
Do not park your vehicle near flammable objects,
such as dry grass, oil, or timber.
Heat from the exhaust can cause a fire.
3WARNING
The vehicle can roll aw ay if left unattended
without confirming that Park is engaged.
A vehicle that rolls away could cause a crash
resulting in seriou s injury or death.
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal
until you have confirmed that
( P is shown
on the gear position indicator.
1 When Stopped
NOTICE
The following can damage the drivelineY•Depressing the accelera tor and brake pedals
simultaneously.
•Changing to ( P before the vehicle stops completely.
When facing uphill, do not hold the vehicle by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
Doing so may cause the power system to overheat
and fail.
In extremely cold temperatures, the parking brake may
freeze up if applied. If such temperatures are expected, do
not apply the parking brake. If parking on a slope, either
turn the steering wheel so one of the front tires will contact
the curb or block the wheels to keep the vehicle from
moving. If you do not take either precaution, the vehicle
may roll unexpectedly, leading to a crash.
