SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) —
AIR BAGS
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and right front passenger as asupplement to the seat belt restraint system. The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in
every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplementing the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending on several factors, including the severity and
type of collision. Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce the risk of injury in rear,
side, or rollover collisions.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains to protect the driver, front and rear passengers sitting next to a window.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags to provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact.
• This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag to provide enhanced protection and work together with the Driver Advanced Front Air Bag during a frontal impact.
• If the Air Bag Warning Light
is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving,
have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The air bags
work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the air bags won't
deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Air Bag
deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags need room to inflate.
Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument
panel.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in the
center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain and/or Seat-
Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in another
collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.

Manual on the DVD for operation.
Front Wipers
Intermittent, Low And High Operation
• Rotate the end of the lever to the first detent position for one of five intermittent settings, thesecond detent for low wiper operation and the third detent for high wiper operation.
Rain Sensing Wipers
• This feature senses moisture on the vehicle’s windshield and automatically activates the wipers for the driver when the switch is in the intermittent positions. Refer to Programmable Features
in Electronics for further details.
Mist
• Push the end of the lever inward to the first detent when a single wipe is desired.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed on
the windshield. The wash function must be activated in order to spray the windshield with washer
fluid.
Washer Operation

HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND HALO LIGHT SWITCH
Automatic Headlights/Parking

• Rotate the headlight switch to “AUTO” for AUTO headlights.
• When set to AUTO, the system automati- cally turns the headlights on or off based on
ambient light levels.
SmartBeams™
• The SmartBeam™ system provides increased forward lighting at night by automating highbeam control through the use of a digital camera mounted on the inside rearview mirror. This
camera detects vehicle specific light and automatically switches from high beams to low
beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view.
Instrument Panel Dimmer
• Rotate the dimmer control to the extreme bottom position to fully dim the instrument panellights and prevent the interior lights from illuminating when a door is opened.
• Rotate the dimmer control up to increase the brightness of the instrument panel when the parking lights or headlights are on.
• Rotate the dimmer control up to the next detent position to fully brighten the odometer and radio when the parking lights or headlights are on. Refer to your Uconnect®/Radio User
Manual on the DVD for display dimming.
• Rotate the dimmer control up to the last detent position to turn on the interior lighting.

• The transmission will skip select gears during shifts to allow the engine to operate at lower
speeds.
• The torque converter clutch will engage sooner (lower engine rpm’s) and remain on longer.
• The engine idle speed will be lower.
• The overall driving performance will be more conservative.

PARKSENSE® REAR PARK ASSIST
• If an object is detected behind the rear bumper while the vehicle is in REVERSE, a warning willdisplay in the instrument cluster and a tone will sound, (closer the object the faster the tone)
that changes speed depending on the distance of the object from the bumper, will sound.
• When the Instrument Cluster reads either “Clean Sensor” or “Blinded”, clean off the bumper sensors to see if the condition is corrected.
PARKVIEW® REAR BACK-UP CAMERA
• You can see an on-screen image of the rear of your vehicle whenever the shift lever is put intoREVERSE. The ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera image will be displayed on the radio display
screen, located on the center stack of the instrument panel.
• If the radio display screen appears foggy, clean the camera lens located on the liftgate.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up; even when using the ParkView® Rear Back-Up
Camera. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to check for pedestrians,
animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before backing up. You must continue to
pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING WITH REAR
CROSS PATH
• The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located inside the rear bumper fascia, to detect Highway licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motorcycles
etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
• The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system warning light, located in the outside mirrors, will illuminate if a vehicle moves into a blind spot zone.
• The BSM system can also be configured to sound an audible (chime) alert and mute the radio to notify you of objects that have entered the detection zones.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
