The heated steering wheel system is de-
signed to operate only when the surface
temperature of the steering wheel is below
68°F (20°C).
Push the heated steering wheel switch to
warm the steering wheel af ter the engine
starts. The indicator light will come on.
If the surface temperature of the steering
wheel is below 68°F (20°C), the system will
heat the steering wheel and cycle off and
on to maintain a temperature above 68°F
(20°C). The indicator light will remain on as
long as the system is on.Push the switch again to turn the heated
steering wheel system off manually. The
indicator light will go off. The switch will turn
off automatically 30 minutes af ter activa-
tion, once this happens the switch will need
to be pressed again to restart the cycle.
NOTE:
If the surface temperature of the steer-
ing wheel is above 68°F (20°C) when the
switch is turned on, the system will not
heat the steering wheel. This is not a
malfunction.
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 BSW/RCTA
indicator light, located next to the outside
mirrors, 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

BSW/RCTA indicator light will flash. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Blind Spot
Warning (BSW)” in the “Starting and driving”
section of this manual.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
indicator will come
on. Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart
the engine to turn on the system. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Vehicle Dy-
namic Control (VDC) system” in the “Start-
ing and driving” section of this manual.

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: ∙ activate the 4H or 4LO switch,
∙ the transmission shif t lever must be in forward or reverse gear, ∙ the hill descent control system switch
must be ON.
The vehicle speed must be kept below
15 mph (25 km/h).
The hill descent control indicator light will
come on when the system is activated.
Also, the stop/tail lights illuminate while the
hill descent control system applies the
brakes to control vehicle speed.
You may hear a noise from under the hood
or feel a vibration from the actuator when it
is operating. This is normal and indicates
the hill descent control system is working
properly.
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 indicator light
blinks if the switch is on and all conditions
for system activation are not met or if the
system becomes disengaged for any rea-
son.

traction if the vehicle is stuck or becoming
stuck.
To activate the E-Lock system:∙ the 4WD switch must be in the 4LO po- sition (4-wheel drive vehicles),
∙ the vehicle must be stopped or moving at 4 mph (7 km/h) or less, and
∙ the E-Lock system switch must be turned ON. When the E-Lock system switch is turned
ON, the indicator light will flash until the
system engages. However, if all operation
conditions listed above are not met or the
system becomes disengaged, the indica-
tor light will continue to flash.

∙ Use the E-lock system only in anemergency when it is not possible to
free a stuck vehicle even using 4LO.
Never use the E-Lock system on a slip-
pery road surface such as snow or ice
surface. Using the E-Lock system
when driving in these road conditions
may cause unexpected movement of
the vehicle during engine braking, ac-
celerating or turning, which may re-
sult in an accident and serious per-
sonal injury.
∙ Observe the above warnings. Other- wise, loss of normal steering control
may result. This may result in an acci-
dent and serious personal injury.
CAUTION
∙ Af ter using the E-Lock system, or dur-ing normal driving, turn the switch
OFF to prevent possible damage to
drivetrain components from ex-
tended use.
∙ When the E-Lock system is in opera- tion, turning the vehicle becomes dif-
ficult. This can be dangerous, espe-
cially at high speeds. Doing so could
damage drivetrain components. ∙ Do not operate the E-Lock system
when the vehicle is turning or when
one side wheel is rotating. Otherwise,
the drivetrain components could be
damaged.
∙ The E-Lock system operates only when the engine is running.
∙ In 4H mode, the E-Lock system does not operate when the E-Lock system
switch is turned to the ON position.
(The E-Lock system indicator light will
flash.)
∙ Avoid quick starts while the E-Lock system is in operation. Otherwise the
drivetrain components could be
damaged.
∙ Observe the above cautions. Other- wise, loss of normal steering may
result. To use the outlets for devices that require
120v power, place the ignition in the ON
