Light in the instrument cluster will come 
on when the ignition is placed in the ON/
RUN or ACC/ON/RUN position, and when ESC is 
activated. It should go out with the engine running. 
If the ESC Indicator Light comes on continuously 
with the engine running, a malfunction has been 
detected in the ESC system. If this warning light 
remains on after several ignition cycles, and the 
vehicle has been driven several miles (kilometers) 
at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see an 
authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the 
problem diagnosed and corrected.
The ESC OFF Indicator Light and the ESC Indi -
cator Light come on momentarily each time the 
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/
RUN position.
The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking 
sounds when it is active. This is normal; the 
sounds will stop when ESC becomes inactive.
This light will come on when the vehicle is in an 
ESC event.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF 
Warning Light — If Equipped 
This warning light indicates the ESC is off. 
Each time the ignition is turned to ON/
RUN or ACC/ON/RUN, the ESC system 
will be on, even if it was turned off 
previously.
Low Fuel Warning Light
When the fuel level reaches 
approximately 1.85 gal (7 L) this warning 
light will turn on, and remain on until fuel 
is added.
A single warning chime will sound with Low Fuel 
Warning.

(toward the rear of the vehicle) to turn off the high 
beams. If the high beams are off, pull the lever 
toward you for a temporary high beam on, “flash to 
pass” scenario.
ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II  
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated 
Onboard Diagnostic system called OBD II. This 
system monitors the performance of the 
emissions, engine, and automatic transmission 
control systems. When these systems are 
operating properly, your vehicle will provide 
excellent performance and fuel economy, as well 
as emissions well within current government 
regulations. If any of these systems require service, the OBD II 
system will turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light 
(MIL). It will also store diagnostic codes and other 
information to assist your service technician in 
making repairs. Although your vehicle will usually 
be drivable and not need towing, see an authorized 
dealer for service as soon as possible.
ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM 
(OBD II) C
YBERSECURITY
Your vehicle is required to have OBD II and a 
connection port to allow access to information 
related to the performance of your emissions 
controls. Authorized service technicians may need 
to access this information to assist with the 
diagnosis and service of your vehicle and 
emissions system  Ú page 188.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause 
further damage to the emission control 
system. It could also affect fuel economy and 
driveability. The vehicle must be serviced 
before any emissions tests can be performed.
If the MIL is flashing while the vehicle is 
running, severe catalytic converter damage 
and power loss will soon occur. Immediate 
service is required.

STARTING AND OPERATING147
TO MANUALLY TURN ON THE STOP/
S
TART SYSTEM
After turning off the Stop/Start system, push the 
Stop/Start OFF switch again (located on the switch 
bank). The light on the switch will turn off.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If there is a malfunction in the Stop/Start system, 
the system will not shut down the engine. A 
“SERVICE STOP/START SYSTEM” message will 
appear in the instrument cluster display and the 
Stop/Start telltale will remain yellow  Ú page 113.
If the “SERVICE STOP/START SYSTEM” message 
appears in the instrument cluster display, have the 
system checked by an authorized dealer.
If a malfunction occurs during an autostop, the 
vehicle may not auto start and will need a key start.
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS — IF EQUIPPED 
Your vehicle may be equipped with the Cruise 
Control system, or the Adaptive Cruise Control 
(ACC) system:
Cruise Control will keep your vehicle at a 
constant preset speed.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) will adjust the 
vehicle speed up to the preset speed to main -
tain a distance with the vehicle ahead.
NOTE:
In vehicles equipped with ACC, if ACC is not 
enabled, Fixed Speed Cruise Control will not 
detect vehicles directly ahead of you. Always be 
aware of the feature selected.
Only one Cruise Control feature can operate at a 
time. For example, if Fixed Speed Cruise Control 
is enabled, Adaptive Cruise Control will be 
unavailable, and vice versa.
CRUISE CONTROL
When engaged, the Cruise Control takes over 
accelerator operations at speeds greater than 
25 mph (40 km/h).
The Cruise Control buttons are located on the right 
side of the steering wheel.
 Cruise Control Buttons
1 — On/Off
2 — CANC/Cancel
3 — SET (+)/Accel
4 — RES/Resume
5 — SET (-)/Decel
WARNING!
Cruise 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 and have an accident. Do 
not use Cruise Control in heavy traffic or on 
roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or 
slippery.

148STARTING AND OPERATING  
To Activate
Push the on/off button to activate the Cruise 
Control. The cruise indicator light in the instrument 
cluster display will illuminate. To turn the system 
off, push the on/off button a second time. The 
cruise indicator light will turn off. The system 
should be turned off when not in use.
To Set A Desired Speed
Turn the Cruise Control on.
NOTE:The vehicle should be traveling at a steady speed 
and on level ground before pushing the SET (+) or 
SET (-) button.
When the vehicle has reached the desired speed, 
push the SET (+) or SET (-) button and release. 
Release the accelerator and the vehicle will 
operate at the selected speed.
To Vary The Speed Setting
To Increase Or Decrease The Set Speed
When the Cruise Control is set, you can increase 
speed by pushing the SET (+) button, or decrease 
speed by pushing the SET  (-) button.
U.S. Speed (mph)
Pushing the SET (+) , or SET (-) button once will 
result in a 1 mph speed adjustment. Each 
subsequent tap of the button results in an 
adjustment of 1 mph.
If the button is continually pushed, the set 
speed will continue to adjust until the button is 
released, then the new set speed will be estab -
lished.
Metric Speed (km/h)
Pushing the SET (+) , or SET (-) button once will 
result in a 1 km/h speed adjustment. Each 
subsequent tap of the button results in an 
adjustment of 1 km/h.
If the button is continually pushed, the set 
speed will continue to adjust until the button 
is released, then the new set speed will be 
established.
To Accelerate For Passing
Press the accelerator as you would normally. When 
the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the 
set speed.
USING CRUISE CONTROL ON HILLS
The transmission may downshift on hills to 
maintain the vehicle set speed.
The Cruise Control system maintains speed up and 
down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills 
is normal. On steep hills, a greater speed loss or 
gain may occur so it may be preferable to drive 
without Cruise Control.
WARNING!
Leaving the Cruise 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 an 
accident. Always turn the system off when you 
are not using it.
WARNING!
Cruise 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 and have an accident. Do 
not use Cruise Control in heavy traffic or on 
roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or 
slippery.

STARTING AND OPERATING149
(Continued)
(Continued)
To Resume Speed 
To resume a previously set speed, push the RES 
button and release. Resume can be used at any 
speed above 20 mph (32 km/h).
To Deactivate 
A tap on the brake pedal, or pushing the CANC 
button, or normal brake pressure will deactivate 
the Cruise Control system without erasing the set 
speed from memory.
Pushing the on/off button or placing the ignition in 
the OFF position erases the set speed from 
memory.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)  
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the driving 
convenience provided by cruise control while 
traveling on highways and major roadways. 
However, it is not a safety system and not designed 
to prevent collisions. The Cruise Control function 
performs differently   Úpage 147.
ACC will allow you to keep Cruise Control engaged 
in light to moderate traffic conditions without the 
constant need to reset your Cruise Control. ACC 
utilizes a radar sensor and a forward facing 
camera designed to detect a vehicle directly ahead 
of you.
NOTE:
If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC 
will apply limited braking or accelerate (not to 
exceed the original set speed) automatically to 
maintain a preset following distance, while 
matching the speed of the vehicle ahead.
Any chassis/suspension or tire size modifica -
tions to the vehicle will affect the performance 
of the Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Colli -
sion Warning system.
Fixed Speed Cruise Control (ACC not enabled) 
will not detect vehicles directly ahead of you. 
Always be aware of the feature selected  
Ú page 387.
WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a conve -
nience system. It is not a substitute for active 
driver involvement. It is always the driver’s 
responsibility to be attentive of road, traffic, 
and weather conditions, vehicle speed, 
distance to the vehicle ahead and, most 
importantly, brake operation to ensure safe 
operation of the vehicle under all road condi -
tions. Your complete attention is always 
required while driving to maintain safe control 
of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warn -
ings can result in a collision and death or 
serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming 
vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g., a 
stopped vehicle 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 condi -
tions.
Does not always fully recognize complex 
driving conditions, which can result in 
wrong or missing distance warnings.
Will bring the vehicle to a complete stop 
while following a target vehicle and hold 
the vehicle for approximately three 
minutes in the stop position. If the target 
vehicle does not start moving within three 
minutes the parking brake will be acti -
vated, and the ACC system will be 
cancelled.
