HANDSET PHONEBOOK
Many phones will support an automatic down-
load of the cellular phone’s phonebook. Since
this method allows for up to 1,000 numbers to be
stored and entries are automatically assigned
voice tags by the system, this is a useful function
for easy dialing supported by the Voice Recogni-
tion system.
Transferring the handset phonebook
If your cellular phone supports automatic down-
loading, the system transfers the handset phone-
book automatically by default. To ensure that this
feature is activated, press the SETTING button
on the instrument panel and touch the “Phone”
key. The “Auto Downloaded” selection should
have the amber indicator next to the word ON
activated. Touch the “Auto Downloaded” key to
toggle this feature on or off.To transfer the handset phonebook to the vehicle
manually, follow these steps:
1. Press the SETTING button on the control panel.
2. Touch the “Phone” key.
3. Touch the “Download Handset Phonebook” key.
Once the handset phonebook is transferred to
the vehicle, it can be accessed by pressing the
PHONE key on the instrument panel or the
button on the steering wheel, then touching the
“Handset Phonebook” key.
Whether the handset phonebook is transferred
manually or automatically, the process can take
up to 5 minutes to complete, depending on the
size of the handset phonebook. For additional
information, refer to the cellular phone’s owner’s
manual.

ECO MODE
The ECO mode adjusts the engine and transmis-
sion to enhance fuel economy.
NOTE:
Selecting this drive mode will not necessar-
ily improve fuel economy as many driving
factors influence its effectiveness.
Operation
Turn the drive mode select switch to the ECO
position. “ECO” appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display for 2 seconds and the ECO drive
indicator light illuminates on the instrument panel.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed within
the range of economy drive, the ECO drive indi-
cator light illuminates in green. When the accel-
erator pedal is depressed above the range of
economy drive, the color of the ECO drive indi-
cator light changes to orange. For ECO pedal
system equipped models, refer to “ECO pedal
system” in this section.
The ECO drive indicator light will not illuminate in
the following cases:● When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position. ●
When the vehicle speed is below 3 MPH
(4.8 km/h) or over 90 MPH (144 km/h).
● When the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
system (if so equipped) is operated.
ECO pedal system (if so equipped)
The ECO pedal system helps assist the driver to
improve fuel economy by increasing the reaction
force of the accelerator pedal. When the ECO
drive indicator light is blinking or turns off, the
ECO pedal system increases the reaction force
of the accelerator pedal.

When the ECO drive indicator illuminates in
green, the accelerator reaction force is normal.
When the ECO drive indicator light is blinking or
turns off, the ECO pedal system increases the
reaction force of the accelerator pedal.
The ECO pedal system may not vary accelerator
reaction force under the following conditions:
● When the shift lever is in the N (Neutral) or R
(Reverse) position.
● When ICC (if so equipped) is being oper-
ated.
If the ECO pedal system malfunctions, it will
cancel automatically. The ECO pedal system will
not vary the reaction force of the accelerator
pedal.
When the drive mode select switch is rotated
from the ECO mode to another mode (STAN-
DARD, SPORT or SNOW) while the ECO pedal
system is operating, the ECO pedal system con-
tinues to operate until the pedal is released.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed quickly, the
ECO pedal system will not increase the reaction
force of the acceleration pedal. The ECO pedal
system is not designed to prevent the vehicle
from accelerating.

2button. When the ECO pedal system is
tuned off, the accelerator will operate nor-
mally. The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system/
Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system will op-
erate when the vehicle is driven at speeds of
approximately 45 MPH (70 km/h) and above, and
only when the lane markings are clearly visible on
the road.
Each system functions as follows:
● Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system
– warns the driver with a warning light and chime that the vehicle is beginning to
leave the driving lane.
● Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system – warns the driver with a warning light and
chime, and helps assist the driver to re-
turn the vehicle to the center of the trav-
eling lane by applying the brakes to the
left or right wheels individually (for a short
period of time) .
The LDW and LDP systems monitor the lane
markers on the traveling lane using the camera
unit
1located above the inside mirror. When the
camera unit detects that the vehicle is traveling
close to either the left or the right of the traveling
lane, the Lane Departure Warning indicator light
on the instrument panel blinks in orange and a
warning chime sounds. When the LDP system is
