WARNING
● The front sonar system is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper
driving.
● The rear sonar system is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper back-
ing. Always turn and check that it is safe
to do so before backing up. Always
back up slowly.
The front sonar system:
● is active when the ignition is in the ON
position and the shift selector is in a forward
gear position.
● a beeping tone is emitted when the sensors
detect obstacles within 3 ft (1.0 m) of the
front bumper.
The rear sonar system:
● is active when the ignition is in the ON
position and the shift selector is in R (Re-
verse).
● a beeping tone is emitted when the sensors
detect obstacles within 5.9 ft (1.8 m) of the
rear bumper.
The front and rear sonar system can be disabled
by pushing the OFF switch. When the system is
disabled, the indicator light on the switch will
illuminate. Push the switch again to enable the
system. The indicator light will go off.
The system will automatically reset the next time
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position.
See “Front sonar system” in the “Starting and
driving” section.
Tow mode should be used when pulling a heavy
trailer or hauling a heavy load. Driving the vehicle
in the tow mode with no trailer/load or light
trailer/light load will not cause any damage. How-
ever, fuel economy may be reduced, and the
transmission/engine driving characteristics may
feel unusual.
Press the tow mode switch to activate tow mode.
The indicator light on the tow mode switch illumi-
nates when tow mode is selected. Press the tow
mode switch again to turn tow mode OFF.
Tow mode is automatically canceled when the
