Basic Navigation Operation
A real-time navigation system uses GPS and a map database to show your current 
location and help guide you to a desired destination. You can operate the system
using voice commands or the touchscreen.
To reduce the potential for driver distraction, certain manual functions \
may be
inoperable or grayed out while the vehicle is moving. Voice commands are always
available.

Before Driving
Check the following items before you begin driving.
Exterior Checks
• 
Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior 
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
• 
remove any frost, snow, or ice.
•  Make sure the hood is securely closed.
• 
Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite flammable materials left under 
the hood, causing a fire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an extended period, 
inspect and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried grass 
and leaves that have fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by a small 
animal. Also check under the hood for leftover flammable materials after you or 
someone else has performed maintenance on your vehicle.
•  Make sure the tires are in good condition.
• 
Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.
Interior Checks • 
Store or secure all items on board properly.
• Do not pile items higher in the cargo area than the seat-back height.
•  Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure t\
he floor
mats.
• 
If you have any animals on board, do not let them move freely around in the 
vehicle.
•  Securely close and lock all doors and the trunk.
•  Adjust your seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly.
• 
Make sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll under the 
seats.
• 
Everyone in the vehicle must fasten their seat belt.
•  Make sure that the indicators in the instrument panel come on when you s\
tart
the vehicle, and go off soon after.
If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to melt any 
ice. Do not try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim around the 
doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid further freezing.
NOTICE
In addition:
•  During the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation, avoid sudden acc\
eleration or
full throttle operation so as not to damage the engine or powertrain.
• 
Avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles (300 km). You should also follow this 
when the brake pads are replaced.
Improper accessories or modifications can affect your vehicle’s handling, and 
stability, and performance, and cause a crash in which you can be seriously 
hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in the vehicle owner’s manual regarding accessories
and modifications.

During Operation
If a vehicle is detected ahead of you when ACC is turned on, the system maintains, 
accelerates, or decelerates your vehicle’s set speed to keep the vehicle’s set
following interval from the vehicle ahead.
You can temporarily increase the vehicle speed
when you press the accelerator pedal. ACC stays
on unless you cancel it. When you release the 
accelerator pedal, the system resumes the set
speed or a sufficient speed to maintain the following
interval.
If a vehicle detected ahead of you slows down 
abruptly, or if another vehicle cuts in front of you, 
a beep sounds and BRAKE appears on the multi-
information display to alert you.
ACC has limited braking capability. 
When your vehicle speed drops below 22 mph (35 km/h), ACC will 
automatically cancel and no longer will apply your vehicle’s brakes. 
Always be prepared to apply the brake pedal when conditions require. 
WARNING
Canceling ACC
Press the CANCEL or MAIN button, or press the brake 
pedal. The ACC indicator goes off.
Certain conditions may cause ACC to cancel
automatically. When this happens, the amber ACC 
indicator appears on the multi-information display
(see page 23).
After adaptive cruise control has been canceled, you 
can still resume the prior set speed by pressing RES/+ 
when your vehicle speed is over 25 mph (40 km/h). 
Improper use of ACC can lead to a crash.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation
U.S. models
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly 
when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the 
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure\

label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the 
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the 
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped 
with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly underinflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the 
proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to ove\
rheat and
can lead to tire failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel efficienc\
y and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, 
and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even 
if underinflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of\
the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator 
to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. 
When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for 
approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This \
sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the 
malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able 
to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle \
that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or altern\
ate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. A\
n overheated
tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.
NOTICEChanging a Flat Tire
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually 
to reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place. replace the flat tire with the compact
spare tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repaired or 
replaced.
Getting Ready to Change the Tire
Park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slippery surface. Apply the parking brake, 
shift to Park (P), and turn the vehicle off. Turn on the hazard warning lights.
1. open the trunk floor lid.
2. Take the tool case out of the trunk. Take the jack
and wheel nut wrench out of the tool case.
3. Unscrew the wing bolt, then remove the spacer 
cone. remove the spare tire.
4. Place the compact spare tire (wheel side up)
under the vehicle body, near the tire that needs 
to be replaced.
5. Loosen each wheel nut about one turn using the 
wheel nut wrench.
