•  The foot brake is pressed and the shift lever is moved to P or R.
•  The engine stalls (manual transmission).
•  The driver’s seat belt is unfastened.
•  The engine is turned off.
Activating the automatic brake hold system on steep hills or slippery roads may still allow the vehicle to move if you remove your foot from the brake pedal.
If a vehicle unexpectedly moves, it may cause a crash resulting in serious injury or death.
Never use the automatic brake hold system or rely on it to keep a vehicle from moving when stopped on a steep hill or slippery roads.
WARNING
Using the automatic brake hold system to park the vehicle may result in the vehicle unexpectedly moving.
If a vehicle moves unexpectedly, it may cause a crash, resulting in serious injury or death.
Never leave the vehicle when braking is temporarily kept by automatic brake
hold and always park the vehicle by putting the transmission in Park (P) and applying the parking brake.

Eco Assist™ System
Can help improve fuel efciency by adjusting the performance of the engine, transmission, climate control system, and cruise control.
ECON Button
Press the ECON button behind the shift lever to turn the system on or off. The ECON Mode indicator appears when the system is turned on.
Ambient Meter
Color-coded bars change based on your driving style and brake or accelerator pedal operation. Green: Fuel-efcient driving
Light green: Moderate acceleration/deceleration
White: Aggressive acceleration/decelerationAmbient meter
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ®
)
Helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less than what
was intended. It assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces by regulating engine output and selectively applying the brakes.
Turning VSA On or Off
Press and hold the VSA OFF button until you hear a beep to turn VSA on or off. The VSA OFF indicator appears when the system is off.
Traction control stops fully functioning, which may make it easier when trying to free your vehicle if it is
stuck in mud or snow. VSA is turned on every time you start the engine, even if you previously turned it off. If you turn VSA off, your vehicle has normal braking and cornering
ability, but traction and stability enhancement become less effective.

•  Do NOT use gasoline containing more than 15% ethanol.
•  Do NOT use gasoline containing methanol.
•  Do NOT use gasoline containing MMT.
We recommend quality gasoline containing detergent additives that help prevent
fuel system and engine deposits. In addition, in order to maintain good performance,
fuel economy, and emissions control, we strongly recommend the use of gasoline
that does NOT contain harmful manganese-based fuel additives such as MMT, if such gasoline is available.
NOTICE
Gasoline is highly ammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
•  Stop the engine, and keep heat, sparks, and ame away.
•  Handle fuel only outdoors.
•  Wipe up spills immediately.
WARNING
How to Refuel
Your fuel tank features a capless design. You can insert the ller nozzle directly into the ller pipe. The tank seals itself when you pull out the ller nozzle.
1. The fuel ll door is located at the left rear of the
vehicle. Park next to the service pump that is most accessible.
2. Turn off the engine.
3. Press the area indicated by the arrow in the image to open the fuel ll door. The vehicle must be unlocked.
4. Insert the ller nozzle fully. When the tank is full, the nozzle clicks off automatically. Wait about 5 seconds before removing the ller nozzle.
5. Close the fuel ll door.

Overheating
If the temperature gauge pointer is at the H mark, the engine suddenly loses power, or steam or spray comes out from under the hood, your engine is overheating.
1. Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place. Turn off all accessories and turn on the hazard warning lights.
2.  If steam or spray is not present: Keep the engine
running and open the hood. If steam or spray is present: Turn off the engine
and wait until it subsides. Then, open the hood.
3. Check that the cooling fan is operating and stop the engine once the temperature gauge needle comes down. If the cooling fan is not operating, immediately stop the engine.
4. Once the engine has cooled down, inspect the coolant level and check the cooling system components for leaks. If the coolant level in the reserve tank is low, or no
coolant is in the tank, check that the radiator is cool. Cover the reserve tank cap with a heavy cloth and open the cap. Add coolant until it reaches the MAX mark, and put the cap back on.
Once the engine has cooled sufciently, restart it and check the temperature gauge. If the temperature gauge pointer has gone down, resume driving. If it has not gone down, contact a dealer for repairs.

Reserve tankMIN
Steam and spray from an overheated engine can seriously scald you. Do not open the hood if steam is coming out.
WARNING
Removing the reserve tank cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray out, seriously scalding you. Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the reserve tank cap.
WARNING
Continuing to drive with the temperature gauge pointer at the H mark may damage the engine.
NOTICE
Emergency Engine Stop*
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, choose one of the following operations:
•  Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for
two seconds, or
•  Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button two
times.
The steering wheel will not lock. Because turning off the engine also disables the
power assist the engine provides to the steering and braking systems, it will require
signicantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehicle. Downshift
gears and use both feet on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and stop immediately in a safe place
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the engine to be switched off.
*if equipped
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle. Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck. This is the
best way to transport your vehicle.
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an acceptable
way to tow your vehicle.
For CVT models: If you cannot shift the transmission or turn on the engine, your vehicle must be transported with the front wheels off the ground. Make sure the parking brake
is released. If you cannot release the parking brake, your vehicle must be transported by at bed equipment.
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The
bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight. Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can damage the transmission.

Changing a Flat Tire
If a tire goes at while driving, grasp the steering wheel rmly, and brake gradually to reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place. Replace the at tire with the compact spare
tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repaired or replaced.
Getting Ready to Change the Tire
Park the vehicle on a rm, level, non-slippery surface. Apply the parking brake, shift
to Park (P), and turn the vehicle off. Turn on the hazard warning lights.
1. Open the trunk oor lid.
2. Take the tool case out of the trunk. Take the jack
and wheel nut wrench out of the tool case.
3. Unscrew the wing bolt, then remove the spacer cone. Remove the spare tire.
4. Place the compact spare tire (wheel side up) under the vehicle body, near the tire that needs to be replaced.
5. If necessary, put the at tip of the jack handle bar into the edge of the wheel cover. Carefully
pry the edge and remove the cover.
6. Loosen each wheel nut about one turn using the wheel nut wrench.
