For cruising, these are recommended
shift points:
GearVehicle speed
1to2 7mph(11km/h)
2
to 3 19 mph (31 km/h)
3 to 4 26 mph (42 km/h)
4 to 5 34 mph (55 km/h)
5 to 6 41 mph (66 km/h)
Downshifting
When you must slow down in heavy
traffic or on a steep upgrade, downshift
before the engine starts to overwork.
This reduces the chance of stalling and
gives better acceleration when you
need more speed.
On a steep downgrade, downshifting
helps maintain safe speed and prolongs
brake life. Manually Shifting Up (Automatic
Transmission)
Using selector lever: to shift up to a
higher gear, tap the selector lever back
+ once.
Paddle Mode — If Equipped
Tapping one of the steering
wheel-mounted shift paddles (+/-), if
equipped, while the gear selector is in
DRIVE (D), will activate Paddle Mode (a
temporary manual mode). The current
gear will be displayed in the instrument
cluster, with the "M" also illuminated.
The transmission will revert back to
normal operation (if the gear selector
remains in DRIVE) after a period of time,
depending on accelerator pedal activity.

TEMPORARILY
CANCELLING THE
SYSTEM
Warning!
Leaving the Electronic Speed Control
system on when not in use is dangerous.
You could accidentally set the system or
cause it to go faster than you want. You
could lose control and have an accident.
Always leave the system OFF when you are
not using it.
To temporarily cancel the system, use
one of these methods:
Slightly press the brake pedal.
Press the clutch pedal (if equipped
with a manual transmission).
Push OFF/CAN button.
If the RES/+ button is pushed when the
vehicle speed is 25 mph (40 km/h) or
higher, the system reverts to the
previously set speed.
Note:
If any of the following conditions occur,
the cruise control system is temporarily
canceled:
The parking brake is applied
Automatic Transmission :the
gear selector is in the PARK or
NEUTRAL position.
Manual Transmission : the gear
selector is in the NEUTRAL position.
Automatic Transmission : the
cruise control cannot be cancelled
while driving in manual mode (gear
selector shifted from D to M position).
Therefore, engine braking will not be
applied even if the transmission is
shifted down to a lower gear. If
deceleration is required, lower the set
speed or depress the brake pedal.
When the cruise control system is
temporarily canceled, the speed cannot
be reset.
RADAR SENSORS —
IF EQUIPPED
Rear Radar Sensors
The following systems use the rear
radar sensors:
Blind Spot Monitoring System (BSM)
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
The radar sensors function by detecting
the radio waves reflected off of a vehicle
approaching from the rear or an
obstruction sent from the radar sensor.
The radar sensors are installed inside
the rear bumper, one each on the left
and right sides.
Always keep the surface of the rear
bumper near the radar sensors clean so
that the radar sensors operate normally.
Also, do not apply items such as
stickers.

STARTING AND OPERATING

Adjusting The Image
Quality
The image quality can be adjusted with
the gear selector in the REVERSE (R)
position.
Four adjustments can be made:
brightness, contrast, tint and color. Give
attention to the vehicle’s surroundings
while making adjustments:
1. Select the icon on the top left of the
screen to display the tabs.
2. Select the desired tab.
3. Use the cursor to adjust the
brightness, contrast, tint and color. If a
reset is needed, press the reset button.
4. Select the icon on the top left of the
screen to close the tabs.
Warning!
Adjusting the rear-view camera image
quality must always be done when the
vehicle is stationary. Do not adjust the
rear-view camera image quality while
vehicle driving. Adjusting the image quality
(brightness, contrast, color and tint) of the
rear-view camera while driving the vehicle
is dangerous since it could distract the
driver and cause a serious accident.
REFUELING THE
VEHICLE
Refueling The Vehicle
Stop the engine before refueling.
Fuel Requirements
Vehicles with catalytic converters or
oxygen sensors must use ONLY
UNLEADED FUEL, which will reduce
exhaust emissions and keep spark plug
fouling to a minimum.
Fuel: Premium unleaded fuel.
Octane Rating (Anti-knock index): 91
(R + M)/2 method or above (96 RON or
above) (U.S. federal law requires that
octane ratings be posted on gasoline
station pumps).
Regular unleaded fuel with an octane
rating from 87 to 90 (91 to 95 RON) can
be used, but this will reduce
performance slightly, such as reduced
engine output, and engine knocking.
Fuel with a rating lower than 87 octane
(91 RON) will negatively affect the
emission control system performance
and could also cause engine knocking
and serious engine damage.
While operating on gasoline with an
octane number of 87, hearing a light
knocking sound from the engine is not
a cause for concern. However, if the
engine is heard making a heavy
knocking sound, see your Authorized
Dealer immediately. Use of gasoline
with an octane number lower than
