,
transmission, climate control system, and cruise control.
ECON Button

eCoN button to turn the system on or off.
The
eCoN Mode indicator and a message in the
multi-information display* appear when the system
is turned on.

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®)
Also known as electronic Stability Control (eSC), vSA helps to stabilize the vehicle
during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less than what was intende\
d. It
assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces by regulating engin\
e
output and
selectively applying the brakes.
Turning VSA On or Off
vSA is turned on every time you start the engine,
even if you previously turned it off. If you turn
vSA
off, your vehicle has normal braking and cornering
ability

, but
vSA traction and stability enhancement
become less effective.
Press and hold the
vSA oFF button until you hear a
beep to turn
vSA on or off. The vSA oFF indicator
appears when the system is off.
T

raction control becomes less effective, which may make it easier when trying to
free your vehicle if it is stuck in mud or snow.
VSA OFF indicator

Braking
Slow down or stop your vehicle, and keep it from moving when parked.
Foot Brake
Press the brake pedal to slow down or stop your
vehicle from moving.
Brake Assist System During hard or emergency braking, the system
increases braking force. The brake pedal may move
slightly or make a noise; this is normal. Continue to
hold the brake pedal firmly down.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) During hard or emergency braking, the system
rapidly pumps the brakes to prevent wheel lockup
and help you maintain steering control. The brake
pedal may pulsate slightly during ABS operation;
this is normal. Do not pump the brake pedal, and
continue to hold it firmly down.
Parking BrakeKeep the vehicle from moving when it is parked.
To apply: Pull the lever up fully without pressing the
release button.
To release: Press and hold the release button, then
lower the lever down all the way.
Brake peda l
Brake pedal
The ABS may not function correctly if you use an incorrect tire type and\
size.
NOTICE
release the parking brake fully before driving. The rear brakes and axle \
can be
damaged if you drive with the parking brake applied.

Tire Information
To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be of the proper type and\
size, in good
condition with adequate tread, and properly inflated.
Inflation Guidelines
•
Properly inflated tires provide the best combination of handling, trea\
d life, and
comfort.
refer to the driver’

s doorjamb label or the specifications (see page
148) for the specified pressure.
•
Underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy

,
and are more likely to fail from overheating.
•
overinflated tires make your vehicle ride harshly

, are more prone to road
hazards, and wear unevenly.
•
every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lower\
than t

he
others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.
•
Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle has been
parked for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If n\
ecessar

y, add
or release air until the specified pressure is reached, and then calib\
rate the
system (see page 121). If checked when hot, tire pressure can be as mu\
ch as
4–6 psi (30–40 kPa, 0.3–0.5 kgf/cm
2) higher than checked when cold.
•
At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the p\
ressure
in all tires, including the spare.
even tires in good condition can lose 1–2 ps

i
(10–20 kPa, 0.1–0.2 kgf/cm
2) per month.
Inspection Guidelines
every time you inflate the tires, check for the following:
•
Any damage to tires, including bumps, bulges, cuts, splits, or cracks in\
the side
or tread.
remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks. replace t

ires if
you see fabric or cord.
•
Uneven or excessive tread wear. Have a dealer check the wheel alignment.
•
Cracks or other damage around the valve stems.
Wear Indicators The groove where the wear indicator is located is
1/16 inch (1.6 mm) shallower than elsewhere on the
tire. If the tread has worn so low that the indicator is
exposed, replace the tire. Worn out tires have poor
traction on wet roads.
Example of a wear
indicator mark
Changing Wiper Blades
If the wiper blades leave streaks across the windshield, try cleaning th\
em first with a
paper towel or soft cloth and wiper fluid. If the wiper blade rubber h\
as deteriorated,
you should change the wiper blades.
1.
Lift the driver side wiper arm first, then the
passenger side.
2.
Press and hold the tab, then slide the holder from
the wiper arm.
3.
Slide the wiper blade out from its holder by pulling
the tabbed end out.
4.
remove the retainers from the rubber blade that
has been removed, and mount to a new rubber
blade. Correctly align the rubber protrusion and the
retainer grooves.
5.
Slide the new wiper blade onto the holder from the
bottom end. The tab on the holder should fit in the
indent of the wiper blade.
6.
Slide the wiper holder onto the wiper arm, then
push down the lock tab.
7.
Lower the passenger side wiper arm first, then the
driver side.
