Driving your vehicle

• Always look out for pedestrians

when your vehicle is maintaining a
distance with the vehicle ahead.

• Always be cautious for vehicles

that are taller with higher clear-
ance, or vehicles carrying loads
that stick out of the back of the
vehicle.

WARNING

- Safe Use of

ASCC

The ASCC can provide you with
an additional level of safety and
fatigue reduction. However you
must maintain careful observa-
tion of the roadway in front and
around you and maintain control
of your vehicle and spacing
around other vehicles as you
normally would. For example,
this will require you to apply the
brakes as needed when coming
upon a slower moving vehicle, or
when a vehicle from another lane
drives quickly in front of you.

Driving your vehicle

- After an engine start, please stop

for several seconds. If system ini-
tialization is not completed, the
ASCC does not normally operate.

- After an engine start, if any objects

are not detected or the sensor
cover is obscured with foreign sub-
stances, there is a possibility that
the ASCC system may not work.

- The following conditions may

cause a malfunction: over-loading
the trunk, suspension modification,
tire replacement with unauthorized
tires or tires with different tread
wear and pressure levels.

This device complies with Part 15
of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following
three conditions:
1. This device may not cause harm-

ful interference, and

2. This device must accept any inter-

ference received, including inter-
ference that may cause undesired
operation.

3. Changes or modifications not

expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate
the device.

Radio frequency radiation expo-
sure information:
This equipment complies with FCC
radiation exposure limits set forth for
an uncontrolled environment.
This equipment should be installed
and operated with minimum distance
of 20 cm between the radiator
(antenna) and your body.
This transmitter must not be co-
located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmit-
ter.

WARNING

- Inclines &

Towing

Do not use ASCC on steep
inclines or when towing another
vehicle or trailer since such
extreme loading can interfere
with your vehicle's ability to
maintain the selected speed.

ECO mode (Active ECO)

Active ECO helps improve
fuel efficiency by control-
ling certain engine and
transaxle system operat-
ing parameters. Fuel effi-
ciency depends on the
driver's driving habit and
road condition.
• When the DRIVE MODE

button is pressed and
the ECO mode is select-
ed, the ECO indicator
(green) will illuminate to
show that the Active
ECO is operating.

• When the Active ECO is

activated, it does not
turn off even though the
engine is restarted
again. To turn off the
system, press the
DRIVE MODE button
again.

When Active ECO is activated:
• The acceleration may slightly be

reduced even though you depress
the accelerator fully.

• The air conditioner performance

may be limited

• The shift pattern of the automatic

transaxle may change.

• The engine noise may get louder.

The above situations are normal
conditions when the Active Eco
System is activated to improve fuel
efficiency.

Limitation of Active ECO opera-
tion:
If the following conditions occur while
Active ECO is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in the ECO indi-
cator.
• When the coolant temperature is

low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.

• When driving up a hill:

The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
the engine torque is restricted.

• When using manual mode:

The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.

• When the accelerator pedal is

deeply depressed for a few sec-
onds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.

SPORT mode

SPORT mode focuses on
dynamic driving by auto-
matically adjusting the
steering wheel, engine
and transaxle system.

button is pressed and
the SPORT mode is
selected, the SPORT
indicator (yellow) will illu-
minate.

• When the SPORT mode

is activated, and the
engine start/stop button
is turned off and on it will
change to NORMAL
mode. To turn on the
SPORT mode press
DRIVE MODE button
again.

• If the system is activat-

ed:

- While holding vehicle

speed, it maintains the
gear and RPM for some
time even though the
accelerator pedal is not
depressed.

- Up-shifting is delayed.

✽

NOTICE

In Sport drive mode, the fuel effi-
ciency may decrease.

Driving your vehicle

The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) uses a radar sensor to alert
the driver.
It senses toward the rear sides of the
vehicle and provides and early warn-
ing to the driver.

(1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)

The warning range depends on

your vehicle speed. However, if
your vehicle is about 6 mph (10
km/h) faster than the other vehi-
cle, the system will not warn you.

(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist)

When a vehicle approaches you

at high speed, the system will
warn you.

(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)

When your vehicle moves rear-

ward, and the sensor detects an
approaching vehicle in the left or
right side, the system will warn
you.

Always check the road condition
while driving for unexpected situa-
tions even though the Blind Spot
Detection System (BSD) is operating.
