Distance Control Assist
(if so equipped)
The Distance Control Assist (DCA) System senses your vehicle’s relative speed and distance
between it and the vehicle ahead in your traveling lane. When DCA is
ON, the system can pro-
vide accelerator pedal feedback (prompting the driver to remove his/her foot from the pedal)
and apply automatic brake control (if his/her foot is removed from the accelerator pedal)
to decelerate the vehicle and help the driver with maintaining a safe following distance.
To Turn ON/OFF DCA:
1 Press the DCA button on the steering wheel. The DCA system indicator light will illuminate
(located on the dot matrix display between the tachometer and speedometer)
when Distance Control Assist (DCA) is ON.
2 Press the DCA button again to turn OFF the system. The DCA indicator light will go out.
Note:
■
This system is an aid in which only a portion of braking system capacity is used, and it should not be relied on to stop
the vehicle or keep the vehicle stationary. It is the driver’s responsibility to always maintain vehicle braking control.
■
Press the DCA button, the Lane Departure Prevention system will also turn on or off simultaneously.
■
The Distance Control Assist system can be individually set to on or off on the display. Refer to your vehicle Owner’s
Manual.
Intelligent Brake Assist
(if so equipped)
The Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) system generates visual and audible warnings when
it detects that there is a risk of collision with the vehicle ahead in the traveling lane. IBA
will automatically turn
ON when the vehicle is started. IBA functions when your vehicle
is driven at speeds of approximately 10 MPH and above and when the vehicle’s distance
sensor detects your vehicle speed is approximately 10 MPH faster than that of the vehicle
ahead in the travel lane. The vehicle ahead detection indicator light in the speedometer
blinks and a warning chime sounds to alert the driver to take avoidance action immediately.
The system measures the distance to the vehicle ahead and applies the brakes when it
judges that a collision cannot be prevented to help reduce collision speed.
To Turn OFF IBA:
Press and hold the
IBA button for more than 1 second after starting the vehicle. The
indicator light (located between the tachometer and the speedometer) will illuminate.
All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
(if so equipped)
The All-Wheel Drive (AWD) System enhances all-weather performance by supplying driving
power to the front wheels (in addition to the rear wheels) in various traction conditions.
Snow Mode On/Off Switch
Driver-selectable “Snow Mode” helps improve low speed traction for
slick weather conditions.
■
Push the SNOW switch ON for slick road conditions. By reducing
throttle sensitivity, drivability is enhanced. The indicator light on
the switch will illuminate when Snow Mode is
ON.
■
Push the switch OFF for automatic AWD operation.
