Tire Pressure Monitor
This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure MonitorSystem (TPMS).
The Tire Pressure Monitoralerts you when asignificant reduction inpressure occurs in one ormore of the vehicle’s tiresby illuminating the low tirepressure warning light onthe instrument cluster.
The warning light will remain on until the tire pressure iscorrected. The proper tire pressures for your vehicleare listed on the Tire and Loading Information labellocated on the driver side center pillar (B pillar). SeeLoading the Vehicle on page 5-18.
You may notice during cooler conditions that the low tirepressure warning light will appear when the vehicle is firststarted and then turn off as you drive. This may be anearly indicator that your tire pressures are getting low andthe tires need to be inflated to the proper pressure.
Note:The Tire Pressure Monitor can alert you aboutlow tire pressure, but it does not replace normal monthlytire maintenance. It is the driver’s responsibility tomaintain correct tire pressures.

WARNING: (Continued)
LDW will indicate the system is working whenever
it detects either the left or right lane marking. So if
you depart on the side of the lane that LDW is not
detecting, LDW will not warn you.
If you do not carefully maintain your vehicle
position within the lane, vehicle damage, injury, or
death could occur. Even with LDW, always keep
your attention on the road and maintain proper
vehicle position within the lane. Always keep the
windshield clean and do not use LDW in bad
weather conditions.
When the vehicle crosses a detected lane marking, theLDW symbol will flash and you will hear three beeps.LDW will not warn you if the turn signal is on or ifyou make a sharp maneuver. Before making a lanechange, check the vehicle’s mirrors, glance over yourshoulder for vehicles and hazards, and start theturn signal before changing lanes.
How the System Works
LDW uses a camera located between the insiderearview mirror and the windshield to detect the lanemarkings.
@(Lane Departure Warning):To turn LDW on and
off, press the LDW control, located by the exteriorheadlamp control. An indicator on the control will light toindicate that LDW is on.
When the vehicle is started, the LDW symbol, located inthe instrument panel cluster, will briefly come on toindicate that the light is operational.
LDW only operates at speeds of 35 mph (56 km) orgreater. If LDW is turned on when traveling at thesespeeds, the LDW symbol will appear green if the systemdetects a left or right lane marking.

Cruise Control
With cruise control, a speed of approximately 40 km/h(25 mph) or more can be maintained without keepingyour foot on the accelerator. Cruise control does not workat speeds below about 40 km/h (25 mph). A cruise controllight appears in the instrument panel cluster when thecruise control is on.
When the brakes are applied, the cruise controlshuts off.
{WARNING:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do not
use the cruise control on winding roads or in
heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads.
On such roads, fast changes in tire traction can
cause excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the TractionControl System (TCS) begins to limit wheel spin,the cruise control automatically turns off. SeeTractionControl System (TCS) on page 5-6. When roadconditions let you safely use it again, the cruise controlcan be turned back on.
Setting Cruise Control
{WARNING:
If you leave your cruise control on when you are
not using cruise, you might hit a button and go
into cruise when you do not want to. You could be
startled and even lose control. Keep the cruise
control switch off until you want to use cruise
control.
