Eco Assist™ System
Can help improve fuel efciency by adjusting the performance of the engine, transmission, climate control system, and cruise control.
ECON Button
Press the ECON button behind the shift lever to turn the system on or off. The ECON Mode indicator appears when the system is turned on.
Ambient Meter
Color-coded bars change based on your driving style and brake or accelerator pedal operation. Green: Fuel-efcient driving
Light green: Moderate acceleration/deceleration
White: Aggressive acceleration/decelerationAmbient meter
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ®
)
Helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less than what
was intended. It assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces by regulating engine output and selectively applying the brakes.
Turning VSA On or Off
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.
Traction control stops fully functioning, which may make it easier when trying to free your vehicle if it is
stuck in mud or snow. 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 traction and stability enhancement become less effective.

Cruise Control*
Maintain a constant vehicle speed without having to keep your foot on the accelerator
pedal. Use cruise control on highways or open roads where you can travel at a constant speed with little acceleration or deceleration.
*if equipped
RES/+ button CANCEL button CRUISE button
-/SET button
Improper use of cruise control can lead to a crash.
Use cruise control only when traveling on open highways in good weather.
WARNING
Activating and Setting the Vehicle Speed
1. Press the CRUISE button. The CRUISE MAIN indicator appears.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed (above 25 mph/ 40 km/h). Take your foot off the pedal and press the -/ SET button to set the speed. The CRUISE CONTROL indicator appears.
Adjusting the Vehicle Speed
Press the RES/+ button to increase speed, or the -/SET button to decrease speed. Each time you press the button, the vehicle speed is increased or decreased by about 1 mph (1.6 km/h). If you keep the button pressed, the vehicle speed increases or decreases until you release it.
Canceling Cruise Control
Press the CANCEL button or the brake pedal. The CRUISE CONTROL indicator goes off. After cruise control has been canceled, you can still resume the prior set speed by pressing RES/+ while driving at a speed of at least 25 mph (40 km/h). Press the CRUISE button to turn the system off.

DOT Tire Quality Grading
The tires on your vehicle meet all U.S. Federal Safety Requirements. All tires are also
graded for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance according to Department
of Transportation (DOT) standards. The following explains these gradings.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width.
For example:
Treadwear 200
Traction AA
Temperature A
All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specied government test course. For
example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart signicantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices, and differences in road characteristics and climate.
Traction
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades
represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specied government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
WARNING: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead
braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
Temperature
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specied indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds
to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
WARNING: The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly
inated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underination, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
Air Conditioning
To ensure proper and safe operation, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE J2845) recommends that the refrigerant system only be serviced by trained and certied technicians. Never repair or replace the air conditioning evaporator (cooling coil) with one removed from a used or salvaged vehicle. New replacement mobile air conditioning evaporators must be certied (and labeled) as meeting SAE Standard J2842.
Vented refrigerant is harmful to the environment. To avoid refrigerant from venting, never replace the evaporator with one removed from a used or salvaged vehicle.
