Driving

• Each time you press the RES/+ or –/SET button, the vehicle speed is increased or

decreased by about 1 mph or 1 km/h accordingly.

• If you keep pressing the RES/+ or –/SET button, the vehicle speed increases or

decreases by about 5 mph or 5 km/h accordingly.

To cancel cruise control, do any of the following:
• Press the CANCEL button.
• Press the MAIN button.
• Depress the brake pedal.
The CRUISE CONTROL indicator goes off.

Resuming the prior set speed:
After cruise control has been canceled, you can still
resume the prior set speed by pressing the RES/+
button while driving at a speed of at least 25 mph (40
km/h) or more.

You cannot set or resume in the following situations:

•

When vehicle speed is less than 25 mph (40 km/h)

•

When the MAIN button is turned off.

At vehicle speeds of 22 mph (35 km/h) or less, cruise
control canceled automatically.

Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System

Continued

Driving

Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System

Alerts and helps to assist you when the system detects a possibility of your vehicle
unintentionally crossing over detected lane markings and/or leaving the roadway
altogether.

The front camera behind the rearview mirror
monitors left and right lane markings (in white
or yellow). If your vehicle is getting too close
to detected lane markings without a turn
signal activated, the system, in addition to a
visual alert, applies steering torque and alerts
you with rapid vibrations on the steering
wheel, to help you remain within the detected
lane.

As a visual alert, the Lane Departure
message appears on the driver information
interface.

If the system determines that its steering input
is insufficient to keep your vehicle on the
roadway, it may apply braking.

Braking is applied only when the lane
markings are solid continuous lines.

The system cancels assisting operations when you turn the steering wheel to avoid
crossing over detected lane markings.

If the system operates several times without detecting driver response, the system
beeps to alert you.

How the System Works

Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System

Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, the RDM system has
limitations.
Over-reliance on the RDM system may result in a
collision. It is always your responsibility to keep the
vehicle within your driving lane.

The RDM system only alerts you when lane drift is
detected without a turn signal in use. The RDM
system may not detect all lane markings or lane
departures; accuracy will vary based on weather,
speed and lane marker condition. It is always your
responsibility to safely operate the vehicle and avoid
collisions.

You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system.

Driving

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and
provides tactile and visual alerts if the vehicle is detected drifting out of its lane.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

Important Safety Reminders
The LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a
substitute for your vehicle control. The system does
not work if you take your hands off the steering
wheel or fail to steer the vehicle.

2 Driver Information Interface Warning and

Information Messages

P. 104

Do not place objects on the instrument panel.
Objects may reflect on the front windshield and
prevent correct detection of the traffic lanes.

The LKAS only alerts you when lane drift is detected
without a turn signal in use. The LKAS may not detect
all lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will
vary based on weather, speed, and lane marker
condition. It is always your responsibility to safely
operate the vehicle and avoid collisions.

The LKAS is convenient when it is used on freeways.

The LKAS may not work properly or may work
improperly under the certain conditions:

Steering input assist

The system applies torque to the
steering to keep the vehicle between the
left and right lane lines. The applied
torque becomes stronger as the vehicle
gets closer to either of the lane lines.

When you operate the turn signals to change lanes, the system is suspended, and
resumes after the signals are off.
If you make a lane change without operating the turn signals, the LKAS alerts
activate, and torque is applied to the steering.

Continued

Driving

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®), aka Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), System

VSA® helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less
than what was intended. It also assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces.
It does so by regulating engine output and selectively applying the brakes.

When VSA® activates, you may notice that the
engine does not respond to the accelerator.
You may also notice some noise from the
hydraulic system. You will also see the
indicator blink.

■

VSA® Operation

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®), aka Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), System

The VSA® may not function properly if tire type and
size are mixed. Make sure to use the same size and
type of tire, and the air pressures as specified.

When the VSA® system indicator comes on and stays
on while driving, there may be a problem with the
system. While this may not interfere with normal
driving, have your vehicle checked by a dealer
immediately.

VSA® cannot enhance stability in all driving situations
and does not control the entire braking system. You
still need to drive and corner at speeds appropriate
for the conditions and always leave a sufficient
margin of safety.

The main function of the VSA® system is generally
known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC). The
system also includes a traction control function.

In certain unusual conditions when your vehicle gets
stuck in shallow mud or fresh snow, it may be easier
to free it with the VSA® temporarily switched off.

This button is on the driver side control panel.
To partially disable VSA® functionality/
features, press and hold it until you hear a
beep.

Your vehicle will have normal braking and
cornering ability, but traction control function
will be less effective.

To restore VSA® functionality/features, press
the

(VSA® OFF) button until you hear a

beep.

VSA® is turned on every time you start the
engine, even if you turned it off the last time
you drove the vehicle.

■

VSA® On and Off

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®), aka Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), System

When the

button is pressed, the traction control

function becomes less effective. This allows for the
wheels to spin more freely at low speed. You should
only attempt to free your vehicle with the VSA® off if
you are not able to free it when the VSA® is on.

Immediately after freeing your vehicle, be sure to
switch VSA® on again. We do not recommend driving
your vehicle with the VSA® system switched off.

You may hear a motor sound coming from the
engine compartment while system checks are being
performed immediately after starting the engine or
while driving. This is normal.

The agile handling assist cannot enhance stability in
all driving situations. You still need to drive and
corner at speeds appropriate for the conditions and
always leave a sufficient margin of safety.

When the VSA® system indicator comes on and stays

activate.

You may hear a sound coming from the engine
compartment while the agile handling assist is
activated. This is normal.
