The warning systems switch is used to temporar-
ily turn off the warning systems (Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) and Blind Spot Warning (BSW)
systems) that are activated using the settings
menu in the vehicle information display.

When the warning systems switch is turned off,
the indicator

1

on the switch is off. The indicator

will also be off if all of the warning systems are
deactivated using the settings menu.

The BSW system will turn on the Blind Spot
indicator lights, located inside the vehicle next to
the outside mirrors, if a vehicle is located in the
detection zone. If the turn signal is activated in the
direction of the detected vehicle, a chime sounds

twice and the BSW indicator light will flash. For
additional information, see “Blind Spot Warning
(BSW) System / Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
System” in the “Starting and driving” section.

The LDW system will sound a warning chime and
the LDW indicator light (orange) in the vehicle
information display blinks to alert the driver if the
vehicle is traveling close to either the left or the
right of a traveling lane when detected by the
camera unit. For additional information, see
“Blind Spot Warning (BSW) System / Lane De-
parture Warning (LDW) System” in the “Starting
and driving” section.

The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most driv-
ing 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

indicator will come on.

Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the
engine to turn on the system. See “Vehicle Dy-
namic Control (VDC) system” in the “Starting and
driving” section.
