NOTE:Whenever an audible alert is requested by the BSM
system, the radio is also muted.
When the system is in RCP, the system shall respond with
both visual and audible alerts when a detected object is
present. Whenever an audible alert is requested, the radio
is also muted. Turn/hazard signal status is ignored; the
RCP state always requests the chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off there will be no visual
or audible alerts from either the BSM or RCP systems.

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) With Mitigation
— If Equipped
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system with miti-
gation provides the driver with audible warnings, visual
warnings (within the instrument cluster display), and may
apply a brake jerk to warn the driver when it detects a
potential frontal collision. The warnings and limited brak-
ing are intended to provide the driver with enough time to
react, avoid or mitigate the potential collision.

brake support if the driver is not braking adequately in
the event of a potential frontal collision.
• The system will retain the last setting selected by the
driver after ignition shut down.
• FCW may not react to irrelevant objects such as over-
head objects, ground reflections, objects not in the path
of the vehicle, stationary objects that are far away,
oncoming traffic, or leading vehicles with the same or
higher rate of speed.
• FCW will be disabled like ACC, with the unavailable
screens.
• FCW can work in conjunction with the KeySense func-
tion of the vehicle if equipped. Refer to “KeySense
Cluster Messages in “Getting To Know Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
FCW Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster displays “ACC/FCW Limited
Functionality” or “ACC/FCW Limited Functionality Clean
Front Windshield” momentarily, there may be a condition
that limits FCW functionality. Although the vehicle is still
drivable under normal conditions, the active braking may
not be fully available. Once the condition that limited the system performance is no longer present, the system will
return to its full performance state. If the problem persists,
see your authorized dealer.
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the instrument cluster displays:
•
ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Required
• Cruise/FCW Unavailable Service Required
This indicates there is an internal system fault. Although
the vehicle is still drivable under normal conditions, have
the system checked by an authorized dealer.

Should this occur, you should stop as soon as possible and
inflate the tires with low pressure (those in a different color
in the instrument cluster graphic) to the vehicle’s recom-
mended cold placard pressure value as shown in the
Inflate to XXmessage. Once the system receives the
updated tire pressures, the system will automatically up-
date, the pressure values in the graphic display in the
instrument cluster will return to their original color, and
the TPMS Warning Light will turn off. The vehicle may
need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this informa-
tion.
Service TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Warning Light will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then remain on solid. The system fault will also
sound a chime. In addition, the instrument cluster will
display a SERVICE TPM SYSTEM message for a minimum
of five seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place of the
pressure value to indicate which sensor is not being received.
If the ignition is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing
the system fault still exists. If the system fault no longer
exists, the TPMS Warning Light will no longer flash, and the
“SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message will no longer display,
and a pressure value will display in place of the dashes. A
system fault can occur due to any of the following:
•Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to
facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the TPMS
sensors.
•Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting that
affects radio wave signals.
•Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings.
•Using tire chains on the vehicle.
•Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS sensors.

Beginning with the next ignition cycle, the TPMS will no
longer chime or display the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM”
message in the instrument cluster but dashes (- -) will
remain in place of the pressure values.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four wheel and tire
assemblies (road tires) with tires equipped with TPM
sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the TPMS
Warning Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then
turn off. The instrument cluster will display the “SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM” message and then display pressure values
in place of the dashes. On the next ignition cycle the
SERVICE TPM SYSTEMmessage will no longer be dis-
played as long as no system fault exists.

This vehicle is equipped with an automatic shutdown
feature. If the vehicle is left in READY mode (vehicle
running) with the gear selector in PARK for one hour after
the driver exits, this feature will automatically turn the
vehicle off. Notifications have been added into this feature
to raise awareness of the timed event:
• In the interior of the vehicle, the instrument cluster will
display “Ready To Drive”, and will be accompanied by
three audible chimes while exiting. These interior warn-
ings will occur regardless of whether the key fob re-
mains in the vehicle or is removed.
• For the exterior of the vehicle, the horn will sound three
times if the fob is removed from the vehicle and the
vehicle is in the “READY” mode.
Please consider this feature when intentionally running the
vehicle for extended periods of time over one hour. To
restart the vehicle, follow the normal vehicle starting
process. NOTE:
If the vehicle is left in the ACC or RUN (engine not
running) position and the transmission is in PARK, the
system will automatically time out (shut down) after an
initial 30 minutes of inactivity, followed by the additional
amount of time for power accessory delay selected in the
radio settings menu. Once the vehicle times out, it will
switch to the OFF position.
To Manually Turn On The Stop/Start System
After turning off the STOP/START system, push the
STOP/START OFF switch again (located on the instrument
panel). The light on the switch will turn off.

rized dealer.
Cleaning The ParkSense System
Clean the ParkSense sensors with water, car wash soap and
a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. Do not scratch
or poke the sensors. Otherwise, you could damage the
sensors.
ParkSense System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
•Ensure that the rear bumper is free of snow, ice, mud,
dirt and debris to keep the ParkSense system operating
properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could
affect the performance of ParkSense.
• When you turn ParkSense off, the instrument cluster
will display “PARKSENSE OFF”. Furthermore, once you
turn ParkSense off, it remains off until you turn it on
again, even if you cycle the ignition.
• When you move the gear selector to the REVERSE
position and ParkSense is turned off, the instrument cluster display will show “PARKSENSE OFF” message
for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
• ParkSense, when on, will reduce the volume of the radio
when it is sounding a tone.
• Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly, taking care not to
scratch or damage them. The sensors must not be
covered with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt or debris.
Failure to do so can result in the system not working
properly. The ParkSense system might not detect an
obstacle behind the fascia/bumper, or it could provide a
false indication that an obstacle is behind the fascia/
bumper.
• ParkSense should be disabled when the liftgate is in the
open position.
• Use the ParkSense switch to turn the ParkSense system
OFF if objects such as bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc.
are placed within 12 inches (30 cm) from the rear
fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can result in the system
misinterpreting a close object as a sensor problem,
causing the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE
REQUIRED” message to be displayed in the instrument
cluster display.
