funnel. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. Extra
funnels can be purchased from your authorized dealer. Do not use

Essential Information

Collision Warning System*
This system is designed to
alert you of certain collision
risks. Radar sensors detect if
vehicles ahead of you, moving
in the same direction, may be a
collision risk. The system alerts
you with an audible tone and
red warning light that appears above the dash. If the risk of collision
increases, the system increases brake support to help reduce
collision speed.
Note: Driving aids do not replace the need to watch where the
vehicle is moving and brake when necessary. Refer to your
Owner's Manual for safety information, more details
and limitations.
