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 betwe\
en 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 MID. 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.

Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)*
Can assist you when there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding wit\
h a vehicle or a
pedestrian detected in front of yours.
The system can give you visual, audible, and tactile alerts
when a potential collision 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 determined, the system also alerts you with
rapid vibrations on the steering wheel.
Steering vibrations Beep
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 colli\
sion.
•
Your vehicle speed is about 62 mph (100 km/h) or less and there is a ch\
ance of a
collision with an oncoming detected vehicle or a pedestrian in front of \
you.
n
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\
s before
initiating the last stage.
Stage 1: Visual and audible warning, steering wheel vibrations
Stage 2: Visual and audible warning and light brake application

ANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Emergency Engine Stop
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an emergency
situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, choose one of\
the following
operations:
•
Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button
for two seconds, or
•
Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button
three times.
If the vehicle is in Park (P), the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF. Otherwise, the
power mode changes to ACCESSORY.
The steering wheel will not lock. Because turning off the engine also di\
sables the
power assist the engine provides to the steering and braking systems, it\
will require
significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehi\
cle. Use both feet
on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and stop immediately in
a safe place.
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary \
for the engine to
be switched off.
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
All models
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a tru\
ck.
This is the best way to transport your vehicle.
2WD models
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front tires
and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground.
This is an acceptable way to tow your vehicle.
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious dama\
ge.
The bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle\
can
damage the transmission.
NOTICE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving.
If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes significantly low,
the low tire pressure indicator comes on and a message
appears on the multi-information display. The specific tire
with low pressure is displayed.
n What to Do
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire pressure and adjust th\
e pressure to
the specified level. The specified tire pressure is on a label on th\
e driver’s doorjamb.
n
Tire Fill Assist
Your vehicle gives you visual and audible alerts to help you adjust the t\
ire pressure to its appropriate level when the vehicle is on.
While inflating: The system beeps and the exterior lights flash once every 5 seconds.
When the correct pressure is reached:

The system beeps and the exterior lights
flash continuously for 5 seconds. Stop filling the tire.
If you overinflate: The system beeps and the exterior lights flash twice every
3 seconds.
Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. A\
n overheated
tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.

ANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
n Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – Required Federal Explanatio\
n
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthl\
y when
cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehic\
le
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\

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 prop\
er
pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency 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
under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TP\
MS
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 syst\
em
detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one m\
inute
and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue up\
on
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.
Changing a Flat Tire
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually to
reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place. Replace the flat tire with t\
he compact spare
tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repa\
ired or replaced.
n
Getting Ready to Change the Tire
Park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slippery surface. Apply the par\
king brake, shift
to Park (P), and turn the vehicle off. Turn on the hazard warning lights.

NOTICE
Tire Information
To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be of the proper type and\
size, in good
condition with adequate tread, and properly inflated.
n
Inflation Guidelines •
Properly inflated tires provide the best combination of handling, trea\
d life, and
comfort. Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label or the specifications (see page 154)
for the specified pressure.
•
Underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy,
and are more likely to fail from overheating.
•
Overinflated tires make your vehicle ride harshly, are more prone to road
hazards, and wear unevenly.
•
Every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lowe\
r than the
others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.
•
Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle has been
parked for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If n\
ecessary, add
or release air until the specified pressure is reached. If checked whe\
n hot, tire
pressure can be as much as 4-6 psi (30-40 kPa, 0.3-0.5 kgf/cm2) higher\
than
checked when cold.
•
At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the p\
ressure
in all tires, including the spare. Even tires in good condition can lose\
1-2 psi
(10-20 kPa, 0.1-0.2 kgf/cm2) per month.
n
Inspection Guidelines
Every time you inflate the tires, check for the following: •
Any damage to tires, including bumps, bulges, cuts, splits, or cracks in\
the side
or tread. Remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks. Replace \
tires if
you see fabric or cord.
•
Uneven or excessive tread wear. Have a dealer check the wheel alignment.
•
Cracks or other damage around the valve stems.
n
Wear Indicators
The groove where the wear indicator is located is
1/16 inch (1.6 mm) shallower than elsewhere on the
tire. If the tread has worn so low that the indicator is
exposed, replace the tire. Worn out tires have poor
traction on wet roads.Example of a wear
