Convenience

• Cruise control with steering wheel mounted controls. Set it and forget it. Road trips used to be stressful, until cruise control set the pace. Simply set the desired speed using the steering wheel mounted controls and it will maintain that speed without driver intervention. This can help minimize driver fatigue and improve overall fuel economy. Resting your right foot is right at your fingertips thanks to cruise control with steering wheel mounted controls.
• Mechanical
• Manual fold into floor third-row seat. Room to move! When you need the extra space for cargo rather than kids, you'll love the manual fold-into-floor third row seats. Just pull the release and manual fold into floor third-row seats disappear for more room in the back, without hurting your back.

Powertrain and Mechanical

• Variable valve timing - Change your output. There are a lot of variables in your drive, so why should your engine always operate the same? With variable valve timing, the engine is efficient at both low and high RPM's, so you get better fuel efficiency, cleaner emissions and improved performance. Variable valve timing provides a better drive, every time.
• Performance with punch. A DOHC valvetrain produces more power and runs at a higher speed than standard OHV engines so you can get where you're going faster.

Safety and Security

• Restricted driving mode - Know their limits. Giving up your keys doesn't mean giving up control when you have restricted driving mode. You can set limits on things like music volume and speed to reduce your stress and worry when someone else is using the vehicle. Whether it's your teen-aged driver or a valet, you can help ensure they're driving safely with restricted driving mode.
