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 ou tput 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 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 ma y 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 always 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.
In certain unusual  conditions when your vehicle gets 
stuck in shallow mud or fr esh snow, it may be easier 
to free it with the VSA ® temporarily switched off.

Driving
■Customizing the LaneWatch settings
You can customize the following items using the audio/information screen.
• Show with Turn Signal : Selects whether LaneWatch monitor comes on when 
you operate the turn signal lever.
• Display Time after Turn Signal Off : Changes the remaining Lane Watch 
display time after you pull the turn signal lever back.
• Reference Line : Selects whether the reference lines appear on the LaneWatch 
monitor.
• Display : Adjusts display settings.
2Customized Features  P. 360
■Reference Lines
Three lines that appear on the screen can give 
an idea of how far the vehicles or objects on 
the screen are from your vehicle, respectively. 
If an object is near line 1 (in red), it indicates 
that it is close to your vehicle whereas an 
object near line 3 is farther away.
1 LaneWatchTM*
The LaneWatch camera view  is restricted. Its unique 
lens makes objects on the screen look slightly 
different from what they are.
LaneWatch display does not come on when the shift 
lever is in 
( R.
For proper LaneWatch operation:
•The camera is located in  the passenger side door 
mirror. Always keep this area clean. If the camera 
lens is covered with dirt  or moisture, use a soft, 
moist cloth to keep the lens  clean and free of debris.
•Do not cover the camera lens with labels or stickers 
of any kind.
•Do not touch the camera lens.

1Reference Lines
The area around the reference line 1 (red) is very close to 
your vehicle. As always, m ake sure to visually confirm 
the safety of a lane chan ge before changing lanes.
The distance betwee n your vehicle and lines 1, 2 and 
3 on the screen vary depending on road conditions 
and vehicle loading. For ex ample, the reference lines 
on the screen may seem to appear closer than the 
actual distances when the rear of your vehicle is more 
heavily loaded.
Consult a dealer if:
•The passenger side door mirr or, or area around it is 
severely impacted, resulting in changing the 
camera angle.
•The LaneWatch display doe s not come on at all.
* Not available on all models

uuWhen Driving uTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation
Driving
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 un der-inflation has not reached the 
level to trigger illumination of th e TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equi pped 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 syst em detects a malfunction, the 
telltale will flash fo r approximately one minute and then remain 
continuously illumina ted. 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.

uuBraking uCollision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Driving
Collision Mitigati on Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Can assist you when there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a 
pedestrian detected in front of yours. The CMBSTM is designed to alert you when a 
potential collision is determined, as well as to reduce your vehicle speed to help 
minimize collision severity when a collision is deemed unavoidable.
1 Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM (CMBSTM)
Important Safety Reminder
The CMBS
TM is designed to reduce the severity of an 
unavoidable collision. It does not prevent collision nor 
stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your 
responsibility to operate th e brake pedal and steering 
wheel appropriately acco rding to the driving 
conditions.
The CMBS
TM may not activate or may not detect a 
vehicle in front of y our vehicle under certain 
conditions:

the stages before initiating the last stage.

uuChecking and Maintaining Tires uDOT Tire Quality Grading (U.S. Vehicles)
594
Maintenance
The traction grades, from highest to  lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. 
Those grades represent the tire's  ability to stop on wet pavement 
as measured under controlled conditions on specified 
government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked 
C may have poor traction performance.
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, 
representing the tire's resistance  to the generation of heat and its 
ability to dissipate h eat when tested under  controlled conditions 
on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high 
temperature can cause the material  of the tire to degenerate and 
reduce tire life, and excessive temp erature can lead to sudden tire 
failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which 
all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle 
Safety Standard No. 109. Grades  B and A represent higher levels 
of performance on the laboratory  test wheel than the minimum 
required by law.
■Traction
■Temperature
1 Traction
Warning: The traction grade 
assigned to this tire is based on 
straight-ahead braking traction tests, 
and does not include acceleration, 
cornering, hydroplaning, or peak 
traction characteristics.
1Temperature
Warning: The temperature grade for 
this tire is establishe d for a tire that is 
properly inflated and not 
overloaded. Excessive speed, 
underinflation, or excessive loading, 
either separately or in combination, 
can cause heat buildup and possible 
tire failure.
