Caution!
Changing to manual shift mode while
driving will not damage the transmission.
Note:
If you change to manual shift mode
when the vehicle is stopped, the gear
will shift to M1.
If you change to manual shift mode
while the vehicle is moving it will remain
in the current gear until a manual shift
request is made.
Indicators
Manual Shift Mode Indication
In manual shift mode, the “M” of the
shift position indication in the
instrument panel illuminates.
Gear Position Indication
The numeral for the selected gear
illuminates. Note:
If the gears cannot be shifted
down when driving at higher speeds, the
gear position indication will flash twice to
signal that the gears cannot be shifted
down (to protect the transmission).
Manually Shifting Up/Down
To shift up to a higher gear, tap the
gear selector back once.
To shift down to a lower gear, tap the
gear selector forward once.
Note:
When driving slowly, the gears may
not shift up. When driving at high
speeds, the gear may not shift down.
Do not drive the vehicle with the
tachometer needle in the red zone
while in manual shift mode. In addition,
manual shift mode switches to
automatic shift mode while the
accelerator pedal is completely
depressed. However, if the vehicle is
continuously driven at a high rpm, the
gears may automatically shift up to
protect the engine.
During deceleration, the gear may
automatically shift down depending on
vehicle speed.
Second Gear Fixed Mode
When the gear selector is moved back
while the vehicle speed is about
one mph (2 km/h) or less, the
transmission is set in the second gear.
The gear is set in second for easier
acceleration from a stop and driving on
slippery roads such as snow-covered
roads.
Paddle Mode — If
Equipped
Direct mode can be used for
temporarily switching gears by
operating the steering shift switch while
the vehicle is being driven with the gear
selector in the DRIVE (D) range.
While in direct mode, the DRIVE (D) and

Caution!
To avoid vehicle damage, ParkView
should only be used as a parking aid. The
ParkView camera is unable to view every
obstacle or object in your drive path.
To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle
must be driven slowly when using ParkView
to be able to stop in time when an obstacle
is seen. It is recommended that the driver
look frequently over his/her shoulder when
using ParkView.
Looking At The Display
The width of the vehicles guide lines
(yellow) are displayed on the screen as
a reference to show the width of the
vehicle compared to the width of the
parking space to be entered in reverse.
Vehicle Width Guide Lines
(Yellow): these guide lines serve as a
reference showing the width of the
vehicle.
Distance Guide Lines : these lines
indicate the approximate distance of a
point measured from the rear of the
vehicle (from the end of the bumper).
The red and yellow line indicates the
pointsatabout19in(50cm),forthe
red line and 39 in (1 m) for the yellow
line, from the rear bumper (central point
of each line).
Warning!
Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using the ParkView Rear Back
Up Camera. Always check carefully behind
your vehicle, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, or blind spots before backing
up. You are responsible for the safety of
your surroundings and must continue to
pay attention while backing up. Failure to
do so can result in serious injury or death.
Rear-View Monitor
Operation
The operating modes of the rear-view
monitor when the vehicle is in reverse
vary depending on traffic, road and
vehicle conditions. Also the amount of
turning and the duration of the
maneuver vary depending on the
conditions, therefore is important to
check the effective situation and adapt
the steering.
Note: The images from the rear
parking camera shown on the monitor
are reversed (mirror image).

information before you use the
rear-view camera:
1. Put the gear selector in the Reverse
(R) position to switch the display to
rear-view camera mode.
2. Check the surrounding conditions
and begin backing up.3. Once the vehicle starts to enter the
parking space, proceed slowly in
reverse keeping the vehicle width guide
lines away from the two sides of the
parking space.
4. Continue to make corrections with
the steering wheel until the vehicle
width guide lines are parallel with the
two sides of the parking space.
5. Once they are parallel, straighten the
steering wheel and reverse slowly into
the parking space. Continue to check
the vehicle’s surroundings and stop in
the best position possible (if the parking
space has dividing lines, check that the
vehicle width guide lines are parallel
with them).

REPLACING FUSES
General Information
Warning!
When replacing a blown fuse, always
use an appropriate replacement fuse with
the same amp rating as the original fuse.
Never replace a fuse with another fuse of
higher amp rating. Never replace a blown
fuse with metal wires or any other material.
Failure to use proper fuses may result in
serious personal injury, fire and/or property
damage.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure that
the ignition is off and that all the other
services are switched off and/or
disengaged.

Warning!
Never use the air compressor above
43.5 psi (3 Bar). Using the air compressor
at an inflation pressure above 3 Bar
(43.5 psi) continuously is dangerous. If the
air compressor overheats, hot air will be
exhausted and you could get burned.
Caution!
If the tire inflation pressure does not
increase, repair of the tire is not possible. If
the tire does not reach the specified tire
inflation pressure within 10 minutes, it may
have received extensive damage. In this
case, the repair using the tire service kit
was not successful.
Do not operate the air compressor for a
continuous 10 minutes or longer because
using it for long periods could cause a
malfunction.
13. Adhere the speed restriction sticker
to an area where it can be viewed easily
by the driver.
Warning!
Do not adhere the speed restriction sticker
to the padded area on the steering wheel.
Adhering the speed restriction sticker to
the padded area on the steering wheel is
dangerous because the air bag may not
operate (deploy) normally resulting in
serious injury. In addition, do not adhere
the sticker to areas where warning lights or
the speedometer cannot be viewed.
14. Adhere the repaired tire sticker to
the wheel of the flat tire.
15. When the tire inflates to the
specified tire inflation pressure, turn the
air compressor switch off, turn the
sleeve of the injection hose to the left,
and pull it out of the tire valve. 16. Remove the air compressor hose
from the injection valve of the bottle.
Then, install the injection hose to the
injection valve of the bottle to prevent
leakage of any remaining sealant.
Note:
The remaining sealant in the
hose may spray out when the hose is
removed. Remove the hose carefully
because you may not be able to
remove the sealant contacting clothing
or other objects.
17. Install the tire valve cap.
18. Place the tire service kit back into
its storage location.
19. Start driving immediately to spread
the sealant in the tire.

sealant bottle after use. Return the
empty tire sealant bottle to an
Authorized Dealer when replacing the
tire. The empty tire sealant bottle will
need to be used to extract and dispose
of the used sealant from the tire.
14. Install the injection hose to the tab
of the bottle to prevent leakage of any
remaining sealant.
15. Adhere the speed restriction sticker
to an area where it can be viewed easily
by the driver.
Warning!
Do not adhere the speed restriction sticker
to the padded area on the steering wheel.
Adhering the speed restriction sticker to
the padded area on the steering wheel is
dangerous because the air bag may not
operate (deploy) normally resulting in
serious injury. In addition, do not adhere
the sticker to areas where warning lights or
the speedometer cannot be viewed.
16. Pull out the air compressor hose
and the air compressor plug from the

compressor plug into or removing it
from the accessory socket, make sure
that the air compressor switch is off.
When turning the air compressor on/off,
use the air compressor switch. Before
checking the tire inflation pressure using
the tire pressure gauge, turn the air
compressor switch off.
Caution!
If the tire inflation pressure does not
increase, repair of the tire is not possible. If
the tire does not reach the specified tire
inflation pressure within 10 minutes, it may
have received extensive damage. In this
case, the repair using the tire service kit
was not successful.
Do not operate the air compressor for a
continuous 10 minutes or longer because
using it for long periods could cause a
malfunction.
