The vehicle should be driven with the 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 de-
pressed 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. The

WARNING
∙ Never rely solely on the hill descentcontrol system to control vehicle
speed when driving on steep downhill
grades. Always drive carefully when
using the hill descent control system
and decelerate the vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal if neces-
sary. Be especially careful when driv-
ing on frozen, muddy or extremely
steep downhill roads. Failure to con-
trol vehicle speed may result in a loss
of control of the vehicle and possible
serious injury or death. ∙ The hill descent control may not con-
trol the vehicle speed on a hill under
all load or road conditions. Always be
prepared to depress the brake pedal
to control vehicle speed. Failure to do
so may result in a collision or serious
personal injury.
CAUTION
When the hill descent control system
operates continuously for a long time,
the temperature of the brake pads may
increase and the hill descent control
system may be temporarily disabled
(the indicator light will blink). If the indi-
cator light does not come on continu-
ously af ter blinking, stop using the
system.
The hill descent control system is designed
to reduce driver workload when going
down steep hills. The hill descent control
system helps to control vehicle speed so
the driver can concentrate on steering the
vehicle.
To activate the hill descent control system: ∙ the 4WD switch must be in the LOCK position and the vehicle speed must be
under 15 mph (25 km/h)

∙ the hill descent control system switchmust be ON.
The hill descent control system ON indica-
tor light will come on when the system is
activated. Also, the stop/tail lights illumi-
nate while the hill descent control system
applies the brakes to control vehicle speed.
If the accelerator or brake pedal is de-
pressed while the hill descent control sys-
tem is on, the system will stop operating
temporarily. As soon as the accelerator or
brake pedal is released, the hill descent
control system begins to function again if
the hill descent control operating condi-
tions are fulfilled.
The hill descent control system ON indica-
tor light blinks if the switch is on and all
conditions for system activation are not
met or if the system becomes disengaged
for any reason.
To turn off the hill descent control system,
push the switch to the OFF position.
For additional information, refer to “Hill de-
scent control system ON indicator light” in
this section and “Hill descent control sys-
tem” in the “Starting and driving” section of
this manual. The Rear Door Alert system functions un-
der certain conditions to indicate there
may be an object or passenger in the rear
seat(s). Check the seat(s) before exiting the
vehicle.
The Rear Door Alert system is initially dis-
abled. The driver can enable the system
using the vehicle information display. For
additional information, refer to “Vehicle in-
formation display warnings and indicators”
in this section.
When the system is enabled:
∙ The system is activated when a rear door is opened and closed approxi-
mately 10 minutes before the vehicle is
started. When the vehicle is started and
the system is activated, a visual mes-
sage appears in the vehicle information
display. For additional information, refer
to “Rear Door Alert is activated” in this
section.
∙ If a rear door is opened and closed but the vehicle is not started within approxi-
mately 10 minutes, the system will not
be activated. A rear door must be
opened and closed and the car started
within 10 minutes for the system to ac-
tivate. When the Rear Door Alert system is acti-
vated:
∙ When the driver puts the vehicle in the P (Park) position, a notification message
appears in the vehicle information dis-
play with the options to “Dismiss Mes-
sage” or “Disable Alert” if desired.
∙ Select “Disable Alert” to temporarily disable for that stop.
∙ No selection or ‘Dismiss Message” will keep the alert enabled for that stop.
∙ If the alert is enabled when a driver exits the vehicle, a message will appear in the
vehicle information display that states
“Check Back Seat for All Articles.”
If “Horn & Alert” setting is selected:
∙ An audible horn sound will occur af- ter a short time unless a rear door is
opened and closed within a short
time to deactivate the alert.
∙ If the doors are locked before the alert is deactivated by opening a rear
door, the horn will sound.
∙ If the lif tgate is opened before a rear door is opened, the horn will be de-
layed until af ter the lif tgate is closed.

NOTE:
If “Alert Only ” setting is selected, the
message alert will still be shown in the
vehicle information display but the horn
will not sound.
WARNING
∙ If the driver selects “Disable Alert”, noaudible alert will be provided regard-
less of rear door open/close status.
∙ There may be times when there is an object or passenger in the rear seat(s)
but the audible alert does not sound.
For example, this may occur if the en-
gine is turned off and then on again in
a short period of time during a trip, or
if rear seat passengers enter or exit
the vehicle during a trip.
∙ The system does not directly detect objects or passengers in the rear
seat(s). Instead, it can detect when a
rear door is opened and closed, indi-
cating that there may be something in
the rear seat(s). NOTE:
There may be times when the horn
sounds but there are no objects or pas-
sengers in the rear seat(s).
For additional information, refer to “Rear
Door Alert is activated” in this section.
The warning systems switch is used to turn
on and off the Blind Spot Warning (BSW)
system that is activated using the settings
menu on the vehicle information display.
When the warning systems switch is
turned off, the indicator
1on the switch is
off. The indicator will also be off if the warn-
ing system is deactivated using the set-
tings menu.
The BSW system will turn on the side indi-
cator light, located next to the outside mir-
rors, if the radar detects a vehicle in the
detection zone. If the turn signal is acti-
vated in the direction of the detected ve-
hicle, a chime sounds twice and the side
