1. This device may not cause interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada.

3-9

The Forward Collision Alert (FCA) system provides
an audible and visual alert if you approach a vehicle too
quickly that is directly ahead. FCA also provides a visual
alert with no audible alert if you are following another
vehicle much too closely. The FCA alert symbol is located
on top of the instrument panel to the right of the driver.
FCA uses the Adaptive Cruise Control radar to detect a
vehicle directly ahead, in your path, within a distance of
328 ft (100 m) and operates at speeds above 20 mph
(32 km/h).
{CAUTION:
FCA is only a warning system and does not apply
the brakes. When you are approaching a vehicle
or object too rapidly or when you are following a
vehicle too closely that is ahead of you, FCA may
not provide you with enough time to avoid a
collision. FCA is not designed to warn the driver
of pedestrians or animals. Your complete attention
is always required while driving and you should
be ready to take action and apply the brakes.
For more information, seeDefensive Driving on
page 4-2.The FCA control is located
on the steering wheel.
To enable or disable FCA, press the Adaptive Cruise
Control button. SeeAdaptive Cruise Control on
page 3-19.
FCA is enabled when the green light on the button is lit.
FCA is disabled when the indicator light is amber.

Rainsense™ II Wipers
For vehicles with this feature, the moisture sensor is
mounted on the interior side of the windshield behind the
rearview mirror. It is used to automatically operate the
wipers by monitoring the amount of moisture build-up
on the windshield. Wipes occur as needed to clear the
windshield depending on driving conditions and the
sensitivity setting. In light rain or snow, fewer wipes will
occur. In heavy rain or snow, wipes will occur more
frequently. The Rainsense II wipers operate in a delay
mode as well as a continuous low or high speed as
needed. If the system is left on for long periods of time,
occasional wipes may occur without any moisture on
the windshield. This is normal and indicates that the
Rainsense II system is activated.
The Rainsense II system can be activated by turning the
wiper band to one of the ve sensitivity levels indicated
on the wiper stalk. The position closest to off is the lowest
sensitivity setting, level one. This setting lets more rain or
snow to collect on the windshield between wipes. Turning
the wiper band away from you to higher sensitivity levels
increases the sensitivity of the system and frequency ofwipes. The highest sensitivity setting, level ve is closest
to low. A single wipe occurs each time the wiper stalk is
turned to a higher sensitivity level to indicate that the
sensitivity level has been increased.
Notice:Going through an automatic car wash with
the wipers on can damage them. Turn the wipers
off when going through an automatic car wash.
The mist and wash cycles operate as normal and are
not affected by the Rainsense II function. The Rainsense
II system can be overridden at any time by manually
turning the wiper band to low or high speed.
When Rainsense II is active, the headlamps turn on
automatically. The headlamps will turn off again once the
wipers turn off if it is light enough outside. If it is dark,
they remain on. SeeWiper Activated Headlamps
on page 3-32for more information.
Notice:Do not place stickers or other items on
the exterior glass surface directly in front of
the moisture sensor. Doing this could cause
the moisture sensor to malfunction.

Cruise Control
With cruise control, a speed of approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more can be maintained without keeping
your foot on the accelerator. Cruise control does not work
at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h). A cruise control
light appears in the instrument panel cluster when the
cruise control is on.
When the brakes are applied, the cruise control
shuts off.{CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do
not use the cruise control on winding roads or
in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads.
On such roads, fast changes in tire traction can
cause excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the Traction
Control System (TCS) begins to limit wheel spin, the
cruise control automatically turns off. SeeTraction
Control System (TCS) on page 4-6. When road
conditions let you safely use it again, the cruise
control can be turned back on.
