Limited Slip Differential (LSD)*
LSD (limited slip differential) is a type of differential that delivers extra torque to the
wheel or the wheels with the most tracti on to minimize wheel slip and maintain
control of the vehicle.

NOTICE
Make sure both front tires of your vehicle are of the
same brand and specified si ze, and have equal wear.
Otherwise, the LSD may not function properly.

Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)*
Instead of directly measuring the pressu re in each tire, the TPMS on this vehicle
monitors and compares the rolling radius and rotational characteristics of each
wheel and tire while you are driving to determine if one or more tires are
significantly under-inflated.
This will cause the low tire pressure/TPMS
indicator to come on and a message to appear
on the gauge.1 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)*
The system does not monitor the tires when driving
at low speed.
Conditions such as low ambient temperature and
altitude change directly a ffect tire pressure and can
trigger the low tire pressure /TPMS indicator to come on.
Tire pressure checked and inflated in:
•Warm weather can become under-inflated in
colder weather.
•Cold weather can become overinflated in warmer
weather.
The low tire pressure/TPMS indicator will not come
on as a result of overinflation.
The TPMS may not function pr operly if tire type and
size are mixed. Make sure to use the same size and
type of tire.
2 Checking and Maintaining Tires P. 736
The low tire pressure/TPMS indicator may come on
with a delay or may not come on at all when:
•You rapidly accelerate, decelerate, or turn the
steering wheel.
•You drive on snowy or slippery roads.
•Tire chains* are used.
The low tire pressure/TPMS indicator may come on
under the following conditions:
•A compact spare tire* is used.
•Tire chains* are used.

You must start TPMS calibration every time you:
• Adjust the pressure in one or more tires.
• Rotate the tires.
• Replace one or more tires.
Before calibrating the TPMS:
• Set the cold tire pressure in all four tires.

•The vehicle is at a complete stop.

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.
■TPMS Calibration1 TPMS Calibration
TPMS cannot be calibrated if a compact spare tire
* is
installed.
The calibration process requires approximately 30
minutes of cumulative dr iving at speeds between
31-62 mph (50-100 km/h).
During this period, if power mode is set to ON and
the vehicle is not moved within 45 seconds, you may
notice the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on
briefly. This is normal and indicates that the
calibration process is not yet complete.
If the tire chains
* are installed, remove them before
calibrating the TPMS.
If the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on even
when the properly inflated specified regular tires are
installed, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.
We recommend that the tires be replaced with the
same brand, model, and size as the originals. Ask a
dealer for details.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required
Federal Explanation*
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufa cturer on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a diff erent size than the size indicated
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflat ion 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 under-inflated.
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 under-inf lated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire fail ure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's
handling and stopping ability.

uuWhen Driving uTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation*
Driving
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 un der-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumina tion of the TPMS low ti re pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been eq uipped with a TPMS malfunction
indicator to indicate when the sy stem 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 fo r 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 alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.

Driving
Blind Spot Information System*
When the system detects vehicles approach ing from behind in adjacent lanes, the
appropriate indicator comes on, providin g assistance when you change lanes.
The system activates when your vehicle is moving forward at about 20 mph (32 km/h)
or above.
Alert zone range
A: Approx. 1.6 ~ 10 feet (0.5 ~ 3 meters) from vehicle side.
B: Approx. 10 feet (3 meters) from rear bumper.
C: Approx. 10 ~ 82 feet (3 ~ 25 meters) behind from rear bumper. (The faster the
approaching vehicle, the further away it will be detected.)
The initially set alert zone is alert zone 1. Over time, after the vehicle has been driven
on straight roads with traffic and roadside objects, the system will adapt and expand
the alert zone (alert zone 1 and 2).
■How the System works
1 Blind Spot Information System*
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, the blind spot information
system has limitations. Always look in your mirrors, to
either side of your vehicle, and behind you for other
vehicles before changing la nes. Overreliance on the
blind spot information sy stem may result in a
collision.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer in the
following situations:
•The rear bumper or area around the radar sensors
is strongly impacted.
•The indicator does not come on even if a vehicle in
the alert zone should have been detected.
•The rear bumper or any system components need
to be repaired.
If the rear bumper or any system components are
repaired, the system will re vert to alert zone 1 only
until it is able to adapt and expand to alert zone 1
and 2.
Radar Sensors: underneath the
rear bumper corners : Alert Zone 1
A BC : Alert Zone 2

■When the system detects a vehicle
Blind spot information system alert indicator:
Located on the outside rearview mirror on
both sides.
Comes on when:
•A vehicle approaches you from behind to
overtake you at a speed difference of no
more than about 31 mph (50 km/h).
• You pass a vehicle at a speed difference of
no more than abou t 12 mph (20 km/h).
Blinks and a beeper sounds when:
You use the turn signal lever to signal a turn in
the direction of the detected vehicle while the
blind spot information system alert indicator is
on. u The beeper sounds three times.1Blind Spot Information System*
For proper blind spot information system operation:•Always keep the rear bumper and area around the
radar sensors clean.
•Do not cover the rear bumper corner area with
labels or sticke rs of any kind.
The system is for your convenience only. Even if an
object is within the alert zone, the following
situations may occur:
•The blind spot informatio n system alert indicator
does not come on and the message Blind spot
information system not available appears on
the driver information interface.
•The blind spot informatio n system alert indicator
may come on even with the message displayed.
