WARNING
Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)*
Can assist you when there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding wit\

is determined, and reduce your vehicle speed to help minimize collision \
severity
when a collision is deemed unavoidable.
When a potential collision with a detected oncoming vehicle is determine\
d, a B
rAKe
message appears in the multi-information display
, the head-up warning lights flash,
a beep sounds, and the steering wheel vibrates.
The system activates when:
•
The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle or pedestrian de\
tected
in front of you is about 3 mph (5 km/h) and over with a chance of a co\
llision.
•
Your vehicle speed is about 62 mph (100 km/h) or less and there is a ch\
a
nce of a
collision with an oncoming detected vehicle or a pedestrian in front of \
you.
*if equipped
Alert Stages
The system has three alert stages for a possible collision. Depending on\
the
circumstances or CMBS settings, CMBS may not go through all of the stage\

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 maintenanc\
e,
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 abl\
e
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
