Quick Reference Guide
VSA® On and Off (P 460)
●The Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA® )
system helps stabilize the vehicle during
cornering, and helps maintain traction
while accelerating on loose or slippery
road surfaces.
●VSA ® comes on automatically every time
you start the engine.
●To partially disable or fully restore VSA®
function, press and ho ld the button until
you hear a beep.
CMBSTM On and Off (P 480)
●When a possible frontal collision is likely
unavoidable, the CMBSTM can help you to
reduce the vehicle speed and the severity
of the collision.
●The CMBSTM is turned on every time you
start the engine.
●To turn the CMBSTM on or off, use the
safety support switch.
Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)
(P 462)
●Detects a change in tire conditions and
overall dimensions due to decrease in tire
pressures.
●The TPMS is turned on automatically
every time you start the engine.
●A calibration procedure must be
performed when certain conditions arise.

Why does the beeper
sound when I open the
driver's door?The beeper sounds when:
●The power mode is in ACCESSORY.
●The exterior lights are left on.
●The Auto Idle Stop is in operation.
Why does a beeper sound
when I walk away from the
vehicle after I close the
door?
The beeper sounds if the remote key has moved outside the
walk away auto lock operating range before all doors
completely close.
2Locking the doors and trunk (Walk away auto lock ®) (P 161)
Why does the beeper
sound when I start driving?The beeper sounds when the driver and/or front passenger are
not wearing their seat belts.
Pressing the electric
parking brake switch does
not release the parking
brake. Why?Press the electric parking brake switch with the brake pedal
depressed.
I’m seeing an amber
indicator of a tire with an
exclamation point. What is
that?
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Syst em (TPMS) needs attention. If
you recently inflated or changed a tire, you have to recalibrate
the system.

uuFor Safe Driving uImportant Safety Precautions
Safe Driving
■Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely
Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you from paying
close attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians could lead to a crash.
Remember, situations can change quickly, and only you can decide when it is safe to
divert some attention away from driving.
■Control your speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher
the speed, the greater the risk, but serious injuries can also occur at lower speeds.
Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions, regardless of the maximum
speed posted.
■Keep your vehicle in safe condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical failure can be extremely hazardous.
To reduce the possibility of such problems, check your tire pressures and condition
frequently, and perform all regul arly scheduled maintenance.
■Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle
Children, pets and people needing assistan ce left unattended in the vehicle may be
injured if they activate one or more of the vehicle controls. They may also cause the
vehicle to move, resulting in a crash in wh ich they and/or another person(s) can be
injured or killed. Also, depending on the am bient temperature, the temperature of
the interior may reach extreme levels, which can result in harm or death. Even if the
climate control system is on, never leave them in the vehicle unattended as the
climate control system can shut off at any time.

Low Tire Pressure/
TPMS Indicator
●May come on briefly if the power mode is
set to ON and the vehicle is not moved
within 45 seconds, to indicate the
calibration process is not yet complete.
●Comes on and stays on when:
-One or more tires’ pressures are
determined to be significantly low.
- The system has not been calibrated.
●Comes on while driving - Stop in a safe place,
check tire pressures, and inflate the tire(s) if
necessary.
●Stays on after the tires are inflated to the
recommended pressures - The system needs to
be calibrated.
2 TPMS Calibration P. 463
●Blinks for about one minute, and then stays
on if there is a problem with the TPMS, or
when a compact spare tire is temporarily
installed.●Blinks and remains on - Have your vehicle
checked by a dealer. If th e vehicle is fitted with a
compact spare tire, get your regular tire repaired or
replaced and put back on your vehicle as soon as
you can.
●Comes on if the TPMS is deactivated
temporarily after the battery has been
disconnected, then re-connected.●Drive a short distance at more than 12 mph (20 km/h).
The indicator should go off. If it does not, have your
vehicle checked by a dealer.

Driving
Before Driving
Driving Preparation
Check the following items before you start driving.
• Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
u Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
u Remove any snow on the roof, as this can slip down and obstruct your field of
vision while driving. If frozen solid , remove ice once it has softened.
u When removing ice from around the wheels, be sure not to damage the wheel
or wheel components.
• Make sure the hood is securely closed.
u If the hood opens while driving, your front view will be blocked.
• Make sure the tires are in good condition.
u Check air pressures, and check for damage and excessive wear.
2Checking and Maintaining Tires P. 617
•Make sure there are no people or ob jects behind or around the vehicle.
u There are blind spots from the inside.
■Exterior Checks1Exterior Checks
NOTICE
When doors are frozen s hut, 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.
Do not pour warm water into the key cylinder.
You will be unable to insert the key if the water
freezes in the hole.
Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite
flammable material s left under the hood, causing a
fire. If you've parked y our 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.

uuWhen Driving uVehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA ®), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC), System
Continued
Driving
Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA ®), aka Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), System
VSA ® helps stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less
than what was intended. It also assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces.
It does so by regulating engine ou tput and selectively applying the brakes.
When VSA ® activates, you may notice that the
engine does not respond to the accelerator.
You may also notice some noise from the
hydraulic brake system. You will also see the
indicator blink.
*1 : Models with A-type meter
*2 : Models with B-type meter
■VSA ® Operation
1 Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA® ), aka Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), System
The VSA ® may not function properl y if tire type and
size are mixed. Make sure to use the same size and
type of tire, and the air pressures as specified.
When the VSA ® system indicator comes on and stays
on while driving, there ma y be a problem with the
system. While this may not interfere with normal
driving, have your vehi cle checked by a dealer
immediately.
The Vehicle Stability Assist
TM (VSA ®) system, Vehicle
Stability AssistTM (VSA ®) OFF , Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) with Low Speed Follow, low tire pressure/TPMS*
and safety support indicators may come on in amber
along with a message in the gauge when you set the
power mode to ON after reconnecting the battery.
Drive a short distance at more than 12 mph (20 km/h).
Each indicator should go off. If any do not, have your
vehicle checked by a dealer.
VSA ® cannot enhance stability in all driving situations
and does not control the entire braking system. You
still need to drive and corner at speeds appropriate
for the conditions and always leave a sufficient
margin of safety.
The main function of the VSA ® system is generally
known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC). The
system also includes a traction control function.
