Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
WARNING
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) or
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system will not prevent accidents
due to improper or dangerous driving
maneuvers. Even though vehicle
control is improved during emergency
braking, always maintain a safe
distance between you and objects
ahead of you. Vehicle speeds should
always be reduced during extreme
road conditions. The braking distance
for vehicles equipped with ABS or ESC
may be longer than for those without
these systems in the following road
conditions.
Drive your vehicle at reduced speeds
during the following conditions:

[Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.

[On roads where the road surface is
pitted or has different surface height.

[Tire chains are installed on your
vehicle.
The safety features of ABS or ESC
equipped vehicle should not be tested
by high speed driving or cornering. This
could endanger the safety of yourself or
others.
ABS is an electronic braking system that
helps prevent a braking skid. ABS allows
the driver to steer and brake at the same
time.

Driving Your Vehicle
All Wheel Drive (AWD) Operation
If the AWD system determines there is a
need for four wheel drive, the engine's
driving power is distributed to all four
wheels automatically.
For safe AWD operation
Before driving

[Make sure all passengers are wearing
seat belts.

[Sit upright and closer to the steering
wheel than usual. Adjust the steering
wheel to a position comfortable for
you to drive.
Driving on snow-covered or icy roads

[Start off slowly by applying the
accelerator pedal gently.

[Use snow tires or tire chains.

[Keep sufficient distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.

[Apply engine braking during
deceleration by using the paddle
shifter (manual shift mode) and
manually selecting a lower gear.

[Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration,
sudden brake applications, and sharp
turns to prevent skids.
Driving in sand or mud

[Maintain slow and constant speed.

[Use tire chains driving in mud if
necessary.

[Keep sufficient distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.

[Reduce vehicle speed and always
check the road condition.

[Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration,
sudden brake applications, and sharp
turns to prevent getting stuck.
NOTICE
When the vehicle is stuck in snow, sand
or mud, place a nonslip material under
the drive wheels to provide traction
OR slowly spin the wheels in forward
and reverse directions which causes
a rocking motion that may free the
vehicle.
However, avoid running the engine
continuously at high RPM, doing so may
damage the AWD system.
Information

[When using Snow Tires, mount them
on all four wheels.

[When using tire chains, install them on
the rear tires. However, driving speed
must be below 18 mph (30 km/h) and
minimize the driving distance. High
speed or long-term driving with the
chains installed may malfunction or
damage the AWD system.

[If tire chains must be used, use
AutoSock (fabric snow chain) and
install the tire chain after reviewing
the instructions provided with the tire
chains.
For more information on Snow Tires and
Tire Chains, refer to "Winter Driving" in
this chapter.

Driving Your Vehicle
SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
Hazardous Driving Conditions
When hazardous driving elements
are encountered such as water, snow,
ice, mud and sand, take the following
precautions:

[Drive cautiously and maintain a longer
braking distance.

[Avoid abrupt braking or steering.

[When your vehicle is stuck in
snow, mud, or sand, use second
gear. Accelerate slowly to avoid
unnecessary wheel spin.

[Put sand, rock salt, tire chains or other
non-slip materials under the wheels to
provide additional traction while the
vehicle becomes stuck in ice, snow,
or mud.
WARNING
Downshifting with an automatic
transmission while driving on slippery
surfaces can cause an accident. The
sudden change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. Be careful when
downshifting on slippery surfaces.
Rocking the Vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn
the steering wheel right and left to clear
the area around your front wheels. Then,
shift back and forth between R (Reverse)
and a forward gear.
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and do
not race the engine.
To prevent transmission wear, wait until
the wheels stop spinning before shifting
gears. Release the accelerator pedal
while shifting, and press lightly on the
accelerator pedal while the transmission
is in gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in
forward and reverse directions causes a
rocking motion that may free the vehicle.
WARNING
If the vehicle is stuck and excessive
wheel spin occurs, the temperature
in the tires can increase very quickly.
If the tires become damaged, a tire
blow out or tire explosion can occur.
This condition is dangerous - you and
others may be injured. Do not attempt
this procedure if people or objects are
anywhere near the vehicle.
If you attempt to free the vehicle, the
vehicle can overheat quickly, possibly
causing an engine compartment fire or
other damage. Try to avoid spinning the
wheels as much as possible to prevent
overheating of either the tires or the
engine. DO NOT allow the vehicle to
spin the wheels above 35 mph
(56 km/h).

The severe weather conditions of winter
quickly wear out tires and cause other
problems. To minimize winter driving
problems, you should take the following
suggestions:
Snow or Icy Conditions
You need to keep sufficient distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front of you.
Apply the brakes gently. Speeding, rapid
acceleration, sudden brake applications,
and sharp turns are potentially
very hazardous practices. During
deceleration, use engine braking to the
fullest extent. Sudden brake applications
on snowy or icy roads may cause the
vehicle to skid.
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it
may be necessary to use snow tires or to
install tire chains on your tires.
Always carry emergency equipment.
Some of the items you may want to carry
include tire chains, tow straps or chains,
a flashlight, emergency flares, sand, a
shovel, jumper cables, a window scraper,
gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket,
etc.
Summer tires

[Summer tires are used to maximize
the driving performance on dry roads.

[If the temperature is below 45°F or
you are driving on snowy or icy roads,
the summer tires lose their brake
performance and traction as the tire
grip weakens significantly.

[If the temperature is below 45°F or
you are driving on snowy or icy roads,
mount snow tires or all-season tires
of the same size with your vehicle's
standard tire for safe driving. Both
snow and all-season tires have M+S
markings.

[When using the M+S tires, use tires
with the same tread produced by the
same manufacturer for safe driving.

[When driving with the M+S tires with
the lower maximum allowable speed
than that of the vehicle's standard
summer tire, be careful not to exceed
the speed allowed for the M+S tires.

Tire chains
ORS061025L
Since the sidewalls on some radial tires
are thinner than other types of tires,
they may be damaged by mounting
certain types of tire chains on them.
Do not mount tire chains on vehicles
equipped with aluminum wheels; if
possible use AutoSock® (fabric snow
chain or similar). Install AutoSock® after
reviewing the instructions provided
with AutoSock®. Damage to your vehicle
caused by improper use of fabric snow
chains are not covered by your vehicle
manufacturer's warranty.
Information
AutoSock® is a Registered trademark of
AutoSock.
WARNING
The use of AutoSock® (fabric snow
chain) may adversely affect vehicle
handling:

[Drive less than 20 mph (30 km/h)
or the AutoSock® manufacturer’s
recommended speed limit,
whichever is lower.

[Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, sharp turns, and other road
hazards, which may cause the
vehicle to bounce.

[Avoid sharp turns or locked wheel
braking.
Disabling Rear Wheel Steering system to
install snow chains
ORS061036L
If the Rear Wheel Steering system is
applied, disable the system to protect the

Driving Your Vehicle
NOTICE
If you drive without disabling the
Rear Wheel Steering system in the
infotainment system after installing
snow chains, the snow chains can
damage your vehicle’s body or chassis
parts. When you hear the snow chain
hitting the vehicle, stop the vehicle and
check whether the snow chains are
installed properly and whether the Rear
Wheel Steering system is disabled.
Information

[Install AutoSock® (fabric snow chain)
only in pairs and on the rear tires.
It should be noted that installing
AutoSock (fabric snow chain) on the
tires will provide a greater driving
force, but will not prevent side skids.

[Do not install studded tires without
first checking local, state and municipal
regulations for possible restrictions
against their use.
Chain Installation
When installing AutoSock® (fabric
snow chain), follow the manufacturer's
instructions and mount them as tightly
as possible. Drive slowly (less than 20
mph (30 km/h)) with AutoSock® installed.
If you hear the fabric snow chains
contacting the body or chassis, stop and
tighten them. If they still make contact,
slow down until the noise stops. Remove
the AutoSock® as soon as you begin
driving on cleared roads.
When mounting AutoSock®, park the
vehicle on level ground away from traffic.
Turn on the vehicle Hazard Warning
Flasher and place a triangular emergency
warning device behind the vehicle (if
available).
Always place the vehicle in P (Park),
apply the parking brake and turn off the
engine before installing tire chains.
NOTICE
When using AutoSock® (fabric snow
chain):

[Wrong size fabric snow chains or
improperly installed fabric snow
chains can damage your vehicle's
brake lines, suspension, body and
wheels.

[If you hear noise caused by fabric
snow chains contacting the body,
retighten the fabric snow chains to
prevent contact with the vehicle
body.

[To prevent body damage, retighten
the fabric snow chains after driving
0.3~0.6 miles (0.5~1.0 km).

Driving Your Vehicle
Do not let ice and snow accumulate
underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and
interfere with the steering. When driving
in such conditions during the severe
winter, you should check underneath
the vehicle on a regular basis, to ensure
that the front wheels and the steering
components is unblocked.
Carry emergency equipment
In accordance with weather conditions,
you should carry appropriate emergency
equipment, while driving. Some of the
items you may want to carry include tire
chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight,
emergency flares, sand, shovel, jumper
cables, window scraper, gloves, ground
cloth, coveralls, blanket, etc.
Do not place objects or materials in the
engine compartment
Putting objects or materials in the engine
compartment may cause an engine
failure or combustion, because they may
block the engine cooling. Such damage
will not be covered by the manufacturer’s
warranty.
Drive your vehicle when water vapor
condenses and accumulates inside the
exhaust pipes
When the vehicle is stopped for a
long time in winter while the engine is
running, water vapor may condense and
accumulate inside the exhaust pipes.
Water in the exhaust pipes may cause
noise, etc., but it is drained driving at
medium to high speed.
