proper axis automatically, depending on
the number of occupants in the vehicle, the
load the vehicle is carrying and the road
conditions.
If the AFS OFF indicator light blinks after
the ignition switch has been pushed to the

The warning systems switch is used to turn
on and off the warning systems (Forward
Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) and Blind Spot Warning
(BSW) systems) that are activated using
the settings menu on the center display.
When the warning systems switch is turned
off, the indicator
*1on the switch is off.
The indicator will also be off if all of the
warning systems are deactivated using the
settings menu.
The FCW system will sound a warning
chime and the vehicle ahead detection
indicator light blinks to alert the driver if
the vehicle is traveling close to the vehicle ahead. (See
“Forward Collision Warning
(FCW) system” in the“5. Starting and
driving” section.)
The LDW system will sound a warning
chime and blink the lane departure warn-
ing 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 De-
parture Warning (LDW)/Prevention (LDP)
system ”in the “5. Starting and driving”
section.)
The BSW system will turn on the BSW
indicator lights, located next to the outside
mirrors, if the radar sensors detect a
vehicle in the detection zone. If the turn
signal is activated in the direction of the
detected vehicle, a chime sounds twice and
the BSW indicator light will flash. (See
“Blind Spot Warning/Blind Spot Interven-
tion

remote engine start function. This function
allows the engine to start from outside the
vehicle.
Some systems, such as the air conditioner
system, will turn on during a remote start,
if the system was on the last time the ignition switch was turned off.
Laws in some local communities may
restrict the use of remote starters. For
example, some laws require a person using
remote start to have the vehicle in view.
Check local regulations for any require-
ments.
Other conditions may affect the remote
engine start function. See
“Conditions the
remote engine start will not work” later in
this section.
Other conditions can affect the perfor-
mance of the Intelligent Key transmitter.
See “Intelligent Key system” earlier in this
section.
Remote engine start operating range:
The remote engine start function can only
be used when the Intelligent Key is within
the specified operating range from the
vehicle.
When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or strong radio waves are present
near the operating location, the Intelligent
Key operating range becomes narrower,
and the Intelligent Key may not function
properly.
The remote engine start operating range is
approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the vehicle.
Operating a remote engine start:
To use the remote start function to start the
engine, perform the following:
1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle.
2. Push the LOCK
button to lock all
doors.
3. Within 5 seconds push and hold the remote engine start
button until
the turn signal lights illuminate. If the
vehicle is not within view, push and
hold the remote engine start
button for about 2 seconds.

. The front parking lights will turn on and
remain on as long as the engine is
running.
. The doors will be locked and the air
conditioner system may turn on.
. The engine will continue to run for
about 10 minutes. Repeat the steps to
extend the time for an additional 10
minutes. See “Extending engine run
time” later in this section.
