DRIVINGDRIVING
Automatic Transmission*
Park (P): Used for parking or starting/stopping 
the engine. Press the brake pedal, then press the 
release button to shift.
Reverse (R): Used for reversing.
Neutral (N): Used for idling.
Drive (D): Used for normal driving.
Drive (S): Used for driving in hilly terrain or paddle
shifting*.
When you change the shift lever from D to R and vice versa, come to a complete 
stop and keep the brake pedal depressed. Operating the shift lever before the 
vehicle has come to a complete standstill can damage the transmission.
Do not operate the shift lever while pressing the accelerator pedal. You could
damage the transmission.

Sequential Shift Mode*
Use the paddle shifters to change gears without removing your hands from\
the
steering wheel.
When the shift lever is in D: The vehicle goes into sequential shift mode 
temporarily, and the gear number appears in the instrument panel. When you start 
traveling at a constant speed, sequential shift mode automatically turns off, and 
the gear number goes off.
To cancel sequential shift mode, pull and hold the (+) paddle shifter for a few 
seconds.
When the shift lever is in S: The vehicle goes into sequential shift mode, and 
the M indicator and gear number appear in the instrument panel. At speeds of 6 
mph (10 km/h) or less, the vehicle automatically shifts down into 1st gear. You can 
pull away only in 1st or 2nd gear. If you do not operate the paddle shifters while 
in 1st gear, the transmission automatically shifts up to 2nd gear. It does not shift 
automatically from 2nd through 6th gears.
To cancel sequential shift mode, move the shift lever from S to D. The M indicator 
and gear number go off.
Second gear lock mode: If you pull the (+) paddle shifter while stopped or driving 
at 6 mph (10 km/h) or less, the gear position will be locked in 2nd gear. This makes 
it easier to pull away on slippery surfaces, such as snow-covered roads.\
To cancel second gear lock mode, pull the (-) paddle shifter, or move the shift lever
from S to D.

DRIVINGDRIVING
Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)*
Alerts and helps to assist you if the system determines a possibility of your vehicle 
unintentionally crossing over detected lane markings while driving between 45–90 
mph (72–145 km/h).
If your vehicle is getting too close to detected lane 
markings without a turn signal activated, a message
appears in the multi-information display. Steering
wheel torque and vibrations are applied to help your 
vehicle stay in the lane.
Braking may also be applied if the lane lines are solid 
and continuous.
If the system operates several times without detecting driver response, the system 
beeps to alert you.
Changing Settings
Determine the warning timing. The vehicle must be in Park (P).
1. Models with one display: Press the SETTINGS 
button. Select Vehicle Settings.
Models with touchscreen: From the HoMe
screen, select Settings. Select vehicle.
2. Select Driver Assist System Setup.
3. Select road Departure Mitigation Setting.
4. Select from the options.
Normal (default): Steering control starts from inside the lane edge.
Wide: Steering control starts from outside the lane edge.
Warning Only: The system only provides a BRAKE message, but does not apply 
steering or braking.
5. Press BACK to exit the menu.
Important Safety Reminder
The RDM system has limitations. Over-reliance on it may result in a collision. It is 
always your responsibility to keep your vehicle within the driving lane.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)*
Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a dete\
cted lane and
visual and tactile alerts if the vehicle is detected drifting out of its\
lane while driving
between 45–90 mph (72–145 km/h).
If your vehicle is getting too close to detected left 
or right side lane markings without a turn signal
activated, the system provides visual and tactile
alerts.
A Lane Departure message appears on the multi-
information display, and the steering wheel vibrates. 
Steering torque is also applied to help keep your 
vehicle within your driving lane. Take appropriate
action to stay within your driving lane.
Turning the System On or Off
1. Press the MAIN button. LKAS appears in the 
multi-information display.
2. Press the LKAS button. Lane outlines appear in 
the multi-information display. Dotted lane lines
turn solid when the system activates.
3. Press the MAIN button or the LKAS button to turn 
the system off.
Important Safety Reminder
LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a substitute for your vehicle control. The 
system does not work if you take your hands off the steering wheel or fa\
il to steer
the vehicle.
Do not place an object on the top of the instrument panel. It may reflect onto the 
windshield and prevent the system from detecting lane lines properly.
