The warning systems switch will turn on and off
the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system, the
Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system and the For-
ward Collision Warning (FCW) system at the
same time.
The LDW system will sound a warning chime
and blink the lane departure warning light
(orange) to alert the driver if the vehicle is
traveling close to either the left or the right of a
traveling lane with detectable lane markers.
(See “LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
SYSTEM/LANE DEPARTURE PREVENTION (LDP)
SYSTEM” in the “5. Starting and driving” sec-
tion.)The BSW system will illuminate the Blind Spot
Warning (BSW) indicator lights, located next to
the outside mirrors, when the radar sensors
detect a vehicle in the detection zone. If the turn
signal is activated in the direction of the de-
tected vehicle, a chime sounds twice and the
BSW indicator light will flash. (See “BLIND SPOT
WARNING (BSW) SYSTEM” in the “5. Starting
and driving” section.)
The FCW system will sound a warning chime
and the vehicle ahead detection indicator light
blinks to alert the driver if the vehicle is travel-
ing close to the vehicle ahead. (See “FORWARD
COLLISION WARNING (FCW) SYSTEM” in the “5.
Starting and driving” section.)
The warning systems switch is automatically
turned on when the engine is started, and the
warning systems ON indicator
1on the switch
illuminates.
To cancel the warning systems, push the warn-
ing systems switch to turn off the system. The
warning systems ON indicator will turn off. NOTE:
If you continue to push the warning systems
switch from off to on for over 4 seconds, a chime
will sound. This will change the default status of
the LDW, BSW and FCW systems to OFF so that
these systems will not automatically turn on
when the engine is started. If this procedure is
repeated, the default status will return to ON.

For driving or starting the vehicle on snowy
roads or slippery areas, turn on the SNOW
mode switch. The indicator light
1on the
switch will illuminate. When the SNOW mode is
activated, engine output is controlled to avoid
wheel spin.
Turn off the SNOW mode for normal driving. The vehicle should be driven with the Intelligent
Brake Assist (IBA) system on for most driving
conditions.
The Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) system will
sound a warning chime to alert the driver when
the vehicle is traveling too close to the vehicle
ahead and will apply the brake control if nec-
essary.
To turn off the system, push the IBA OFF switch.
The
indicator will illuminate.
The IBA system will remain in the last ON or OFF
state it was left in until it is manually changed
by pushing the IBA OFF switch. The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most
driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC
system reduces the engine output to reduce
wheel spin. The engine speed will be reduced
even if the accelerator is depressed to the floor.
If maximum engine power is needed to free a
stuck vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC OFF
switch. Theindicator will illuminate.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the
engine to turn on the system. (See “VEHICLE
DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC) SYSTEM” in the “5.
Starting and driving” section.)
