Automatic Transmission
StabiliTrak®/Traction Control Systems
The traction control system limits wheelspin and the StabiliTrak electronic stability con-trol system assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions.
Both systems turn on automatically every time the vehicle is started.
Driver Shift Control
Driver Shift Control allows the driver to shift gears manually. This feature can be used to
drive the vehicle in a sportier manner or to downshift when driving on a downhill grade
to provide engine braking.

Move the shift lever to the left of the
Drive (D) position. Tap the shift lever
forward (+) to upshift or rearward to
downshift (–). The currently selected
gear will be displayed on the instru
-ment cluster.
If vehicle speed is too high or too low for
the requested gear, the shift will not occur.
When coming to a stop, the transmission
will automatically downshift.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.

The driver assistance systems use advanced technologies to help avoid collisions by
providing visual and audible alerts under some imminent collision conditions.
Forward Collision Alert
F – The Vehicle Ahead indicator
illuminates in green on the instrument cluster when a vehicle
is detected and illuminates in amber when following a vehicle
ahead too closely. When approaching a vehicle directly ahead too
quickly, the system flashes a visual alert on the windshield and
sounds an audible tone.
To set the alert timing to Far, Medium, or Near, press the Collision Alert button or the Follow Distance Gap
buttonF on the left side of the steering wheel.
Lane Departure Warning

signal, the system flashes a visual alert and sounds an audible tone. The system operates
at speeds of 35 mph or greater.
To turn the system on or off, press the Lane Departure
Warning button (A) on the top center of the instrument panel.
Front
F and Rear Parking AssistF – During low-speed parking
maneuvers, the Front and Rear Parking Assist

To turn the system on or off, press the Parking Assist button (B) on the top center
of the instrument panel.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
F – During low-speed maneuvers when backing up, the system
warns of traffic coming from the left or right by displaying a visual alert on the Rear

To turn the alerts on or off, go to Collision/Detection Systems > Rear Cross Traffic Alert
in the Vehicle Settings menu.
Side Blind Zone Alert/Lane Change Alert
F – While driving, the
Side Blind Zone Alert/Lane Change Alert displays a
warning
symbol on the left or right side mirror when a vehicle is detected
in that side blind zone area or rapidly approaching that side blind
zone area. The warning symbol flashes if a turn signal is activated
when a vehicle has been detected.
To turn the system on or off, go to Collision/Detection Systems
> Lane Change Alert in the Vehicle Settings menu.
Forward Automatic Braking

to help reduce damage or help avoid collisions with vehicles directly ahead.

pressures. The proper tire pressures for the vehicle are listed on the Tire and Loading
Information label located below the driver’s door latch. Current tire pressures can be
viewed in the Driver Information Center Vehicle Information menu.
Tire pressure is affected by cold weather and distance driven. If the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates when the vehicle is first started and then turns off as the
vehicle is driven, check for the proper tire pressures.

maintenance.
