The warning systems switch is used to turn
on and off the warning systems (Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) and Blind Spot
Warning (BSW) systems) that are activated
using the settings menu on the lower display.
When the warning systems switch is turned
off, the indicator

on the switch is off. The

indicator will also be off if all of the warning
systems are deactivated using the settings
menu.
The LDW system will sound a warning chime
and blink the Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) indicator will appear to alert the
driver if the vehicle is traveling close to
either the left or the right of a traveling lane
with detectable lane markers. (See “Lane

Departure Warning (LDW)/Lane Departure
Prevention (LDP)” (P.5-22).)
The BSW system will turn on the side
indicator lights, located next to the outside
mirrors, if the radar sensors detect a vehicle
in the detection zone. If the turn signal is
activated in the direction of the detected
vehicle, a chime sounds twice and the side
indicator light will flash. (See “Blind Spot

TOW mode should be used when pulling a
heavy trailer or hauling a heavy load. Driving
the vehicle in TOW mode with no trailer/
load or light trailer/light load will not cause
any damage. However, fuel economy may be
reduced, and the transmission/engine driv-
ing characteristics may feel unusual.
Push the TOW mode switch to activate
TOW mode. The indicator light in the vehicle
information display illuminates when TOW
mode is selected. Push the TOW mode

The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (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 depressed
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
