On/Off button
(or Adaptive Cruise ControlF
button, if equipped). The Cruise
Control symbol will illuminate in white
on the instrument cluster.
2. When traveling at the desired speed,
press the switch down to the SET–
position to set the speed. The

symbol will illuminate in green on the
instrument cluster.
StabiliTrak/Traction Control Systems
Turning Off Traction Control
Traction control should be turned off if the
vehicle is stuck and rocking the vehicle is
required.
Press the StabiliTrak/Traction
Control button. The Traction Control
Off light will illuminate in the instrument
cluster. Press the button again to turn
on the system.

Adjusting Cruise Control
RES+ Resume/Accelerate
Press up to resume a set speed. When the system is active, press up to i\
ncrease speed.
SET– Set/Coast
When the system is active, press down to decrease speed.
Follow Distance Gap (Adaptive Cruise ControlF only)
Press to select a setting of Far, Medium, or Near. This setting is also \
the setting for the
Forward Collision Alert timing.
Cancel
Press to cancel the cruise control without erasing the set speed from me\
mory.
Pressing the brake pedal also will cancel the cruise control.
The cruise control set speed is erased when cruise control or the vehicl\
e ignition is
turned off.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
The traction control system limits wheelspin and the StabiliTrak stabili\
ty control system
assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. Both systems
turn on automatically every time the vehicle is started.

eAssist Features
Driver Efficiency Gauge
The driver efficiency gauge, located on the instrument cluster, assists you in driving effi-ciently. To maximize efficiency, attempt to keep the pointer in the solid green zone in the
middle of the gauge. The gauge moves down when braking and up when accel\
erating or
driving at high speeds. When driving aggressively, it is less efficient and the gauge will
move farther away from center. The eAssist system’s ability to captur\
e energy while the
vehicle is slowing down makes decelerating important for vehicle efficiency.
See Instruments and Controls in your Owner Manual.
Climate Control Settings
Select the eco Air Conditioning setting (green A/C indicator) for maximum efficiency. This
setting will maximize the frequency and duration of Auto Stops while still providing cabin
comfort when the vehicle is in an Auto Stop. To further maximize efficiency, operate the
climate controls in the Automatic mode at the highest comfortable temper\
ature setting or
turn off the air conditioning system when climate conditions allow.
Select the comfort Air Conditioning setting (amber A/C indicator) for maximum cabin
comfort. Auto Stops will be reduced in both frequency and duration.
See Climate Controls in your Owner Manual.
Regenerative Braking
When braking or coasting, the electric motor acts like a generator to ch\
arge the high-
voltage battery. This “regenerative braking” process captures kine\
tic energy that would
otherwise be lost and stores it in the high-voltage battery. This electrical energy can then
be reused.
Note: Capturing kinetic energy causes transmission shifts that have more feel \
when braking or coasting.
See In Brief in your Owner Manual.
Next Generation Transmission
The eAssist system employs a next generation six-speed transmission with sophisticated
algorithms that continuously store information about your driving style, such as acceleration
and braking. Over the first 250–400 miles, some transmission shifts may be more notice-
able. As the vehicle is driven in a variety of city and highway driving conditions, eAssist w\
ill
use its onboard processing power to quickly “learn” your driving habits to deliver a seam-
less driving experience.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
Hill Start Assist
After stopping on an incline, the Hill Start Assist feature momentarily holds the vehicle
when the brake pedal is released. The driver-applied brake pressure is used during the
stop to keep the vehicle from rolling during the period between when the\
brake pedal is
released and the accelerator pedal is applied.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
