Distance Setting (ACC Only)
The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting between
3 (long), 2 (medium), and 1 (short). Using this distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC
calculates and sets the distance to the vehicle ahead. This distance setting displays in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
• To set or change the distance setting, press the Distance button and release. Each time thebutton is pressed, the distance setting adjusts between long (3), medium (2), and short (1).
The distance setting will default to the last set mode the next time the vehicle is restarted and
the ACC system is turned on.
Mode (ACC Only)
If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can be operated
as a standard (fixed speed) Cruise Control. When in the standard (fixed speed) Cruise Control
mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and the system will maintain the speed you set.
• To change modes, press the MODE button when the system is in either the OFF, READY, orSET position. “Cruise Ready” will be displayed if the system was in ACC READY or ACC SET
position. “Cruise Off ” will be displayed if the system was in the ACC OFF position. To switch
back to Adaptive Cruise Control mode, press the MODE button a second time.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
Forward Collision Warning
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the driver with audible and visual
warnings (within the EVIC) when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings are
intended to provide the driver with enough time to react and avoid the potential collision.
Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature has three settings and can be changed within the Uconnect® System:
•Far
• Near
•Off
NOTE:
The FCW settings can only be changed when the vehicle is in PARK.
Far
The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting.
The far setting provides warnings for potential collisions more distant in front of the vehicle,
allowing the driver to have the most reaction time to avoid a collision.
This setting is designed to provide early warnings per NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration) recommendations.
More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
This setting gives you the most reaction time.
Near
Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting, allows the system to warn you of a potential
frontal collision when you are much closer.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
30

This setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” setting, which allows for a more dynamic
driving experience.
More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to avoid frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
Off
Changing the FCW status to “Off ” prevents the system from warning you of a potential frontal
collision.
NOTE:
• If FCW is set to “Off ”, “FCW OFF” will be displayed in the EVIC.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
WARNING!
•Leaving the Electronic or Adaptive Speed Control system on when not in use is dangerous.
You could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want. You could lose
control and have a collision. Always leave the Electronic or Adaptive Speed Control system
off when you are not using it.
•Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a constant
speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose control. A collision
could be the result. Do not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
•Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active driving
involvement. Pay attention to road, traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to
the vehicle ahead, and brake operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road
conditions. Your attention is always required while driving to maintain safe control of your
vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (i.e., a stoppedvehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may be limited upon adverse sight distance conditions.
• Does not predict the lane curvature or the movement of preceding vehicles and will not compensate for such changes.
• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can result in wrong or missing distance warnings.
• Can only apply a maximum of 25% of the vehicle’s braking capability, and may not bring
the vehicle to a complete stop.
You should switch off the ACC system:
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving situations (i.e., in highway construction zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp; when driving on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill slopes; and when towing a trailer.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.
• Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision.
•
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its own. The driver
has the responsibility to avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle via braking and steering.
Failure to follow this warning could lead to serious injury or death.

ELECTRONIC SHIFTER — 3.6L ENGINE
Your new vehicle is equipped with a fuel efficient 8 speed transmission. The electronic shift lever
in this vehicle does not slide like a conventional shifter. Instead, the shift lever is spring loaded and
moves forward and rearward, always returning to the center position after each gear is selected.
The transmission gear range (PRND) is displayed both on the shift lever and in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
Shifting From PARK To DRIVE
• Firmly press the brake pedal, press the lock button on the shift lever, then pull and hold theshift lever fully rearward until “D” is highlighted in the EVIC.
• To shift back into PARK from DRIVE, bring the vehicle to a complete stop, firmly press the brake pedal, press the lock button on the shift lever, then push and hold the shift lever fully
forward until “P” is highlighted in the EVIC.
Shifting From REVERSE To NEUTRAL
• Pull the shift lever rearward to the first detent and release. “N” will be highlighted in the EVIC.
• To shift back into REVERSE from NEUTRAL, firmly press the brake pedal, press the lock button on the shift lever, then push the shift lever forward to the first detent and release. “R” will
be highlighted in the EVIC.
Shifting From NEUTRAL To DRIVE
• Firmly press the brake pedal, press the lock button on the shift lever, then pull the shift lever rearward and release. “D” will be highlighted in the EVIC.
• To shift back into NEUTRAL from DRIVE, firmly press the brake pedal, press the lock button on the shift lever, then push the shift lever forward to the first detent and release. “N” will be
highlighted in the EVIC.

AUTOSTICK® — If Equipped
NOTE:
AutoStick® is only available on vehicles with SPORT mode.
•
When the transmission is in DRIVE, it will
operate automatically, shifting between the
eight available gears. While in SPORT mode,
the transmission will only shift between seven
of the eight available gears.
• To engage AutoStick®, simply tap one of the steering wheel-mounted shift paddles (+/-).
• In AutoStick® mode, the transmission will only shift up or down when (+/-) is manually
selected by the driver, except as described
below. It will remain in the selected gear until
another upshift or downshift is chosen.
• When AutoStick® is active, the current transmission gear is displayed in the EVIC.
• If AutoStick® is engaged while in DRIVE mode, lack of accelerator pedal activity will cause the transmission to revert to automatic operation. The transmission will also upshift automatically
once redline, (where the tachometer needle points to the red portion of the gauge) is reached.
If the accelerator is pressed to the floor, the transmission will downshift when possible (based
on current vehicle speed and gear).
• When AutoStick® is used in SPORT mode, the transmission will only shift up or down when commanded by the driver, except as noted below.
• In either DRIVE or SPORT mode, the transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows to a stop (to prevent engine lugging) and will display the current gear. Tapping the (+)
paddle (at a stop) will allow starting in second gear. After a stop, the driver should manually
upshift (+) the transmission as the vehicle accelerates.
NOTE:
To disengage AutoStick® mode, press and hold the (+) shift paddle until “D” or “S” is once again
displayed in the EVIC. You can shift in or out of the AutoStick® mode at any time without taking
your foot off the accelerator pedal.
