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.
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 possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you.
Turning Active Braking ON Or OFF
The Active Braking feature has two settings and can be changed within the Uconnect®
System Screen:
•On
•Off
Changing the Active Braking status to “Off” prevents the system from providing limited
autonomous braking, or additional brake support if the driver is not braking adequately in
the event of a potential frontal collision.
NOTE:
If FCW is set to “Off,” “FCW OFF” will be displayed in the DID.
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.

LANESENSE
The LaneSense system can be enabled and disabled with the LaneSense button, located
on the switch panel below the Uconnect®display.
•PushtheLaneSensebuttonto turn the system ON (LED turns off).
The LaneSense system is operational at speeds above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below
112 mph (180 km/h). The LaneSense system uses a forward looking camera to detect
lane markings and measure vehicle position within the lane boundaries.
When both lane markings are detected and the driver unintentionally drifts out of the lane
(no turn signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a haptic warning in the form of
torque applied to the steering wheel to prompt the driver to remain within the lane
boundaries. If the driver continues to unintentionally drift out of the lane, the LaneSense
system provides a visual warning through the Driver Information Display (DID) to prompt
the driver to remain within the lane boundaries.
The driver may manually override the haptic warning by applying torque into the steering
wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected and the driver unintentionally drifts across
the lane marking (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a visual warning
through the Driver Information Display (DID) to prompt the driver to remain within the
lane. When only a single lane marking is detected, a haptic (torque) warning will not be
provided.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
NOTE:
When operating conditions have been met, the LaneSense system will monitor if the
driver’s hands are on the steering wheel and provides an audible warning to the driver
when the driver’s hands are not detected on the steering wheel. The system will cancel if
the driver does not return their hands to the wheel.

BLIND SPOT MONITORING
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located inside the
rear bumper fascia, to detect Highway licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motor-
cycles 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 “Blind Spot Monitoring” in “Understanding The Features Of Your Vehicle” in your
Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

the movement, and the sunroof will remain in a partially closed position until the switch
is pushed again.
Pinch Protection Feature
This feature will detect an obstruction in the opening of the sunroof during Express Close
operation. If an obstruction in the path of the sunroof is detected, the sunroof will
automatically retract. Remove the obstruction if this occurs. Next, push the switch
forward and release to Express Close.
NOTE:
If three consecutive sunroof close attempts result in Pinch Protect reversals, the fourth
close attempt will be a Manual Close movement with Pinch Protect disabled.

This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to set the compass manually.
When the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic, and the cluster will display
dashes (- -) until the compass is calibrated.

Programming A Non-Rolling Code
NOTE:
For programming Garage Door Openers manufactured before 1995.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink®
button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink®indicator light in view.
3. Push and hold the HomeLink®button you want to program while you push and hold
the hand-held transmitter button.
4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The HomeLink®
indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink®has received the fre-
quency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons after the indicator
light changes from slow to rapid.
5. Push and hold the programmed HomeLink®button and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door
(or device) should activate when the HomeLink®button is pushed.
6.To p r o g r a m t h e t w o r e m a i n i n g H o m e L i n k®buttons, repeat each step for each remaining
