Sequential Mode Operation

Each paddle shift operation makes a single gear
change.
To change gears continuously, release the paddle
shifter before pulling it again for the next gear.

If the sequential mode gear selection indicator blinks
when you try to shift up or down, this means your
vehicle speed is not in its allowable gear range or the
protection of transmission system is necessary.
Slightly accelerate to shift up and decelerate to shift
down while the indicator is blinking.

To help maximize fuel economy, the engine automatically stops when the vehicle
comes to a stop, depending on environmental and vehicle operating conditions. The
indicator (green) comes on at this time.

The engine then restarts once the vehicle is
about to move again, or depending on
environmental and vehicle operating
conditions, and the indicator (green) goes off.

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

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

1

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.

Driving

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

The traction control stops fully functioning,
allowing the wheels to spin more freely at low
speed. The VSA® OFF indicator will also come
on and a message on the driver information
interface informs you that the mode is
changed.

Traction control mode can not be changed
during Mud or Sand modes. If you are driving
on mud or sand, Mud or Sand Intelligent
Traction Management modes can also be
used to free a stuck vehicle. On other road
surfaces, change to Normal or Snow mode,
then press and hold the

(VSA® OFF) button.

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

1

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

With the

button pressed, your vehicle will have

normal braking and cornering ability, but VSA®
traction and stability enhancement becomes less
effective.

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.

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.

Agile Handling Assist

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
on while driving, the agile handling assist does not
activate.

You may hear a sound coming from the engine
compartment while the agile handling assist is

Blind spot information System

Driving

Blind spot information System

*

Is designed to detect vehicles in specified alert zones adjacent to your vehicle,
particularly in harder to see areas commonly known as “blind spots”.

When the system detects vehicles approaching from behind in adjacent lanes, the
appropriate indicator comes on for a few seconds, providing assistance when you
change lanes.

How the system works

Blind spot information System

Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, blind spot information
system has limitations. Over reliance on blind spot
information system may result in a collision.

The system is for your convenience only. Even if an
object is within the alert zone, the following
situations may occur.

The blind spot information system alert indicator
may not come on due to obstruction (splashes,
etc.) even without the Blind Spot Info Not
Available
driver information interface appearing.

The blind spot information system alert indicator
may come on even with the message appearing.

WARNING

Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to
change lanes before doing so may result in
a crash and serious injury or death.
Do not rely only on the blind spot
information system when changing lanes.

Always look in your mirrors, to either side
of your vehicle, and behind you for other
vehicles before changing lanes.
