Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) System

Continued

Driving

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) System

VSA helps to stabilise 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.

*1: Models with the keyless access system have an 

ENGINE START/STOP

 button instead of an 

ignition switch.

VSA Operation

1

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) System

The VSA may not function properly if tyre type and 
size are mixed. Make sure to use the same size and 
type of tyre, 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.

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

Your vehicle will have normal braking and 
cornering ability, but traction control function 
will be less effective.

To restore VSA functionality/features, press 
the   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.

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) System

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.

Driving

Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System

*

Your vehicle is equipped with the AWD system. When the system senses a loss of 
front wheel traction, it automatically transfers some power to the rear wheels. This 
allows you to utilise all available traction and may increase mobility.

You still need to exercise the same care when accelerating, steering, and braking 
that you would in a two wheel drive vehicle.

If you excessively spin all four wheels and overheat the AWD system, only the front 
wheels receive power. Stop until the system cools down.

1

Real Time AWD with Intelligent Control System

*

NOTICE

Do not continuously spin the front tyres of your 
vehicle. Continuously spinning the front tyres can 
cause transmission or rear differential damage.

The AWD system may not function properly if tyre 
type and size are mixed. Make sure to use the same 
size and type of tyre, and the air pressures as 
specified.

Deflation Warning System

Continued

Driving

Deflation Warning System

Instead of directly measuring the pressure in each tyre, the deflation warning system 
on this vehicle monitors and compares the rolling radius and rotational 
characteristics of each wheel and tyre while you are driving to determine if one or 
more tyres are significantly under-inflated.

This will cause the low tyre pressure/deflation 
warning system indicator to come on and a 
message to appear on the driver information 
interface.

*1: Models with the keyless access system have an 

ENGINE START/STOP

 button instead of an 

ignition switch.

1

Deflation Warning System

The system does not monitor the tyres when driving 
at low speed.

Conditions such as low ambient temperature and 
altitude change directly affect tyre pressure and can 
trigger the low tyre pressure/deflation warning 
system indicator to come on.

Tyre pressure checked and inflated in:

•

Warm weather can become under-inflated in 
colder weather.

•

Cold weather can become over-inflated in warmer 
weather.

The low tyre pressure/deflation warning system 
indicator will not come on as a result of over inflation.

The deflation warning system may not function 
properly if tyre type and size are mixed. 
Make sure to use the same size and type of tyre.

Deflation Warning System

The low tyre pressure/deflation warning system 
indicator may come on with a delay or may not come 
on at all when:

•

You rapidly accelerate, decelerate, or turn the 
steering wheel.

•

You drive on snowy or slippery roads.

•

Tyre chains are used.

The low tyre pressure/deflation warning system 
indicator may come on under the following conditions:

•

A compact spare tyre is used.

•

There is a heavier and uneven load on the tyres, 
such as when towing a trailer, than the condition at 
initialisation.

•

Tyre chains are used.

1

Deflation Warning System Initialisation

•

Deflation Warning System cannot be initialised if a 
compact spare tyre is installed.

•

The initialisation process requires approximately 30 
minutes of cumulative driving at speeds between 
40-100 km/h (25-62mph).

•

During this period, if the ignition is turned on and 
the vehicle is not moved within 45 seconds, you 
may notice the low tyre pressure indicator comes 
on briefly. This is normal and indicates that the 
initialisation process is not yet complete.

If the tyre chains are installed, remove them before 
initialising the deflation warning system.

If the low tyre pressure/deflation warning system indicator 
comes on even when the properly inflated specified regular 
tyres are installed, have the vehicle checked by a dealer.

We recommend that the tyres be replaced with the 
same brand, model, and size as the originals. Ask a 
dealer for details.

Adjusting Headlight Distribution

Driving

Adjusting Headlight Distribution

Driving the right-hand type vehicle in right-hand traffic, or the left-hand type vehicle 
in left-hand traffic causes headlight glare to oncoming vehicles. You need to alter 
the headlight beam distribution using masking tape.

1.

Prepare for two pieces of masking tape, measuring 40 mm (1.57 inches) wide and 
40 mm (1.57 inches) long.

u

Use masking tape that can shut out light, such as seal type waterproof vinyl.

2.

Affix the tape to the outer portion of the lens as shown.

Adjusting Headlight Distribution

Be careful not to adhere the tape to an incorrect 
location. If the headlight beam is distributed 
incorrectly, it may not comply with your country’s 
legal requirements. Ask your dealer for details.

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.

1

Blind spot information System

*

Important Safety Reminder

Like all assistance systems, blind spot information 
system has limitations. Over reliance on the 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.) and the 

 message appears on the driver 

information interface.

•

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

 message on the 

driver information interface.

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.

Turn the system off when towing a trailer.
The system may not work properly for the following 
reasons:

•

The added mass tilts the vehicle and changes the 
radar coverage.

•

The trailer itself can be detected by the radar 
sensors, causing the blind spot information system 
alert indicators to come on.

The blind spot information system alert indicator may 
not come on under the following conditions:

•

A vehicle does not stay in the alert zone for more 
than two seconds.

•

A vehicle is parked in a side lane.

•

The speed difference between your vehicle and the 
vehicle you are passing is greater than 10 km/h (6 
mph).
