Instrument Cluster Control (Instrument Panel Dimmer)
With parking lights/headlights ON, press A (+) or (-) to adjust the brightness
of the Instrument panel illumination.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)†8 /
Traction Control System (TCS)†8
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is designed to help
stabilize the vehicle during certain cornering maneuvers.
Traction Control System ( TCS) can help improve traction.
It is a good idea to keep both ESC and TCS turned on
for daily driving whenever possible.
Press the ESC button B to turn Traction Control System OFF/ON.
To turn both Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control System OFF, press and hold the ESC button for
more than 3 seconds. Press again to turn ON.
REMINDERS:
§ ESC is active by default at vehicle start-up. When ignition is cycled, ESC will turn ON again
§ The ESC indicator light in the instrument cluster will be lit momentarily whenever ESC is active
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)†8
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) is designed to prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards when accelerating from a stop while on a steep incline.
HAC automatically activates whether ESC is OFF or ON but does NOT
activate when ESC has malfunctioned.
REMINDERS:
§ HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in P (Park) or N (Neutral) position
§ HAC does not replace the need to apply brakes while the vehicle is stopped on an incline
Quick Tip

When HAC is active (e.g., during initial acceleration from a stop on an incline), you may notice that the brakes will momentarily remain engaged after you depress the accelerator. HAC does not replace the need to apply brakes while stopped on an incline.

Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)*†6
With the Engine Start /Stop button in the ON position, press
the LK A button A to turn system ON. The instrument
cluster indicator will initially illuminate white. It will
remain white when the vehicle is traveling less than
40 mph and the system does not detect lane markers.
When the system detects the lane markers and can assist
the steering, the LK A icon will illuminate green.
If the LK A detects that you are moving outside of your lane,
the system may give an audible warning and display a LDW
(Lane Departure Warning) alert on the instrument cluster.
If the vehicle continues to move outside of the lane, the
LK A will apply a slight adjustment to the steering, trying to
prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane.
Standard LK A is the operating mode by default when the
LK A button is depressed to ON. To switch between modes
(Standard LK A, Active LK A and Lane Departure), go to User
Settings in the Instrument Cluster.
All systems will activate under the following conditions:
§ The vehicle exceeds approximately 40 mph
§ The LK A system recognizes both sides of the lane markers
the vehicle is traveling in
§ The vehicle is between the lane markers
REMINDERS:
§
The LK A /LDW will not issue a warning if the turn signal or hazard signal is activated
§
LK A /LDW will return to its previous state when the ignition is cycled
§ The LK A /LDW are not substitutes for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution.
§ LK A /LDW may not always alert the driver if the vehicle is about to be driven outside of its lane. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more information.
When the front camera detects the lane the vehicle’s traveling in, both lanes are illuminated
When the front camera does not detect the lane the vehicle’s traveling in the lanes are not illuminated
When the front camera detects the vehicle moving outside of the lane the vehicle’s traveling in, a vehicle crossing lane indicator will blink, either on the left or right lane (as shown in both images to the right)

Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go*†6
Quick Tips
§ The speed setting for the SCC can be adjusted under the following conditions:
§ With no vehicle in front, you must be travelling at a minimum speed of 20 mph
§ When following a vehicle, there is no minimum speed requirement
§ When following a vehicle, the system can automatically adjust your cruise speed based on the vehicle detected in front. It will even bring the vehicle to a complete stop if necessary. If the vehicle remains at a standstill for more than 3 seconds, you must depress the accelerator pedal or press the RES+/SET- button up/down to start the vehicle.
§ To change the cruise control mode from SCC to standard cruise control, press and hold button C. Repeat to switch back to SCC mode. (The SCC system must not be activated to change modes).REMINDERS:
§ CRUISE indicator must be ON in order to operate SCC
§
The cruise control system will not activate until the brake pedal has been depressed at least once after the ignition is ON or engine starting
§
The SCC system remains ON when ignition is cycled. The speed setting will need to be reset when ignition is cycled
§
The distance settings are approximations and may vary depending on vehicle speed. See the owner’s manual for more information.
§
The SCC is also canceled when the driver’s door is opened, gear shift is changed out of D (Drive), Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) is activated and various other conditions. See owner’s manual for other conditions.
§ If the SCC system is left on, it can be activated inadvertently. Keep the system off when not in use to avoid setting a speed which the driver is not aware of.
§ The SCC system is a supplemental system and is not a substitute for safe driving. It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.
