Driving your vehicle
- Be sure the exhaust system does not leak
  Check the exhaust system whenever the vehicle is raised for changing the oil or any other purpose.
- Before driving
  Before you get into your vehicle, examine the vehicle and its surroundings. After you get into your vehicle, check a number of things before driving, as described in this section.
- ENGINE START/STOP Button
- Automatic transmission (shift lever)
- Dual clutch transmission (DCT) (Shift Lever)
- All Wheel Drive (AWD) system
  The All Wheel Drive (AWD) system delivers engine power to the front and rear wheels for maximum traction.
- Brake system
  Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes, a parking brake, and various braking systems for safe driving.
  - Power-assisted brakes
    Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes that adjust automatically through normal usage.
  - Parking brake (foot type)
  - Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)
    After parking your vehicle, apply the EPB to prevent any external force from moving your vehicle.
  - Auto Hold
    The Auto Hold function keeps your vehicle still, even if you do not continue to hold your foot on the brake pedal after you have engaged it, to bring your vehicle to a complete stop.
  - Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
    The ABS is designed to help prevents the wheels from locking so that your vehicle remains stable and you can still steer it.
  - Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system
    The ESC system is designed to stabilizes your vehicle when turning to mitigate against loss of control that could lead to an accident.
  - Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
  - Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)
    A vehicle has the tendency to roll backward when it starts moving after you have stopped it on a steep hill. The HAC system prevents your vehicle from rolling backward by engaging the brakes automatically for about 2 seconds.
  - Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) system
  - Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) system
  - Brake Assistant System (BAS)
  - Good braking practices
    Good braking practices help keep occupants safe and extend the life of your brakes.
- Vehicle Auto Shut-off system
- Idle Stop and Go (ISG) system
- Drive mode integrated control system
- Economical operation
- Special driving conditions
  In poor weather or road conditions, you should drive even more carefully than usual.
- Winter driving
  Severe weather conditions in the winter result in greater tire wear and other problems.
- Trailer towing
  If you are considering towing a trailer with your vehicle, you should first check with your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to determine their legal requirements.
- Vehicle load limit
  The tire and loading information label on the driver side door displays your vehicle’s load limit.
- Vehicle weight
