ACCELERATOR PEDAL KICKDOWN SWITCH*
The accelerator pedal is equipped with a
kickdown switch to give the driver more
control and to improve fuel economy.
When you depress the accelerator 95% of the
way, you will feel an increase in resistance.
Push harder, and you will feel a click as you
activate the kickdown switch. The transmission
will usually downshift (depending on engine
speed) and the engine will switch to maximum
power mode. This kickdown switch function is
the same in both Manual mode and in “D”.
*Available on vehicles with automatic transmission only.
NOTE: The HL A system will hold the vehicle for a maximum of 2.0 seconds
while the driver is changing from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
HILL LAUNCH ASSIST (HLA)
HL A helps assist you when
accelerating the vehicle from
a stop while on a hill or slope.
When the brake pedal is released
and the accelerator pedal is pushed, HLA prevents the vehicle from rolling
forward or backward. It operates on a downward slope when the shift lever
is in the reverse (R) position, and on an upward slope when the shift lever is
in a position other than the reverse (R) position.

i-ELOOP
i-ELOOP (if equipped)

energy regeneration, storage, and usage, fuel economy is improved.
i-ELOOP Pre-Charge Mode
If the capacitor is discharged because of vehicle storage (the vehicle \
is parked
for long periods of time), the Multi-Information Display will display t\
he following
i-ELOOP warning message after engine startup:

HD RADIO
HD radio has a special receiver
which allows it to receive digital
broadcasts (where available)
in addition to the analog
broadcasts it already receives.
Digital broadcasts have better
sound quality than analog
broadcasts as digital broadcasts
provide free, crystal clear audio.
When the HD radio button is
ON (illuminated), there could
be a noticeable difference in
sound quality and volume when
a change from digital to analog
signals occurs. If the sound
quality and volume becomes
noticeably diminished or cuts
off, touch the HD button to turn
OFF HD radio (not illuminated).
