CHILD RESTRAINTS
Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available.
According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats
rather than in the front.
Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children
ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.

High Beam Operation
Push the lever forward to activate the high beams. Pull the lever toward you for flash to
pass.
NOTE:
For safe driving, turn off the high beams when oncoming traffic is present to prevent
headlight glare and as a courtesy to other motorists.
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
Automatic Headlights/Parking Lights/Headlights
•Rotate the headlight switch, located on
the instrument panel to the left of the
steering wheel, to the first detent from the
off position for parking lightand to
the second detent for headlight.
•Withtheparkinglightsorlowbeam
headlights on, press the headlight switch
for front fog lights. Pressing the switch a
second time will deactivate the front fog
lights. Turning the headlight switch off
will also deactivate the front fog lights.
•Rotatetheheadlightswitchto“AUTO”
for AUTO headlights.
•WhensettoAUTO,thesystemautomati-
cally turns the headlights on or off based
on ambient light levels.
Automatic High Beams
The Automatic High Beams system provides increased forward lighting at night by
automating high beam 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. This feature is
programmable through the Uconnect®system. Refer to “Uconnect®Settings” in “Un-
derstanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active
driving 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
conditions. Your complete attention is always required while driving to maintain safe
control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision and
death or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
•Doesnotreacttopedestrians,oncomingvehicles,andstationaryobjects(e.g.,a
stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
•Cannottakestreet,traffic,andweatherconditionsintoaccount,andmaybelimited

Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed control will not react to preceding vehicles.
Always be aware of the mode selected.

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.
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its own, nor can
FCW detect every type of potential collision. The driver has the responsibility to avoid
acollisionbycontrollingthevehicleviabrakingandsteering.Failuretofollowthis
warning could lead to serious injury or death.
PARKSENSE® REAR PARK ASSIST
The four ParkSense®sensors, located in the rear fascia/bumper, monitor the area behind
the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view.
The sensors can detect obstacles from approximately 12 in (30 cm) up to 79 in (200 cm)
from the rear bumper while the vehicle is in REVERSE, a warning will display in the Driver
Information Display (DID) only when (Sound and Display is selected from the Uconnect®
System). As the vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the (DID) will show fewer arcs and
the sound tone will change from slow, to fast, to continuous.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
AUTOSTICK
AutoStick is a driver-interactive transmission feature providing manual shift control,
giving you more control of the vehicle. AutoStick allows you to maximize engine braking,
eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall vehicle performance.
This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city driving, cold
slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer towing, and many other situations.
Operation
When the shift lever is in the DRIVE (D) position, the transmission will operate automatically,
shifting between the eight available gears. To activate AutoStick, move the shift lever into the
MANUAL (M) position (beside the DRIVE position). The current transmission gear will be
displayed in the instrument cluster, along with a highlighted "M" (Manual) indication. When
the shift lever is in the MANUAL (M) position, tap the shift lever forward (-) (or tap the (-) shift
paddle on the steering wheel, if equipped) to downshift the transmission to the next lower
gear, or tap the lever rearward (+) (or tap the (+) shift paddle, if equipped) to command an
upshift.

This light warns of an overheated engine condition.
If the light turns on or flashes continuously while driving, safely pull over and stop the vehicle.
If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and idle the
vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately.
We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the
vehicle serviced immediately.

WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may
have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have a collision. Have the
vehicle checked immediately.
-MalfunctionIndicatorLight(MIL)
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may
illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on
through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally
and not require towing.
If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead
to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We recommend you do
not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
