SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR BAGS
This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger as a
supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver's Advanced Front Air Bag is
mounted in the center of the steering wheel. The passenger's Advanced Front Air Bag is
mounted in the instrument panel, above the glove compartment. The words SRS AIR BAG
are embossed on the air bag covers.
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 en-
hanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact.
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Driver’s Side Knee Air Bag mounted in the
instrument panel below the steering column and a Knee Bolster mounted below the glove
compartment. The Supplemental Driver’s Side Knee Air Bag provides enhanced protection
and works 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.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle)
in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),
speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws contrib-
utes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detrimental and
should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving type
lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under
which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity and quality grades,
refer to “Maintaining Your Vehicle.”
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of
operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as an
indication of an engine problem or malfunction.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
Automatic Headlights/Parking Lights/Headlights
• Rotate the headlight switch, located onthe instrument panel to the left of the
steering wheel, to the first detent for park-
ing lights
and to the second detent
for headlights
.
• With the parking lights or low beam head- lights on, push the headlight switch once
for fog lights.
• 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.

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.
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 EVIC.
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 a
collision by controlling the vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to follow this warning
could lead to serious injury or death.

AUTOSTICK®
AutoStick® is a driver-interactive transmis-
sion 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 per-
formance. 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 transmission is in DRIVE, it will operate automatically, shifting between theeight available gears. To engage AutoStick®, simply tap one of the steering wheel-
mounted shift paddles (+/-). Tapping (-) to enter AutoStick® will downshift the transmis-
sion to the next lower gear, while using (+) to enter AutoStick® will retain the current gear.
When AutoStick® is active, the current transmission gear is displayed in the instrument
cluster.
In AutoStick® mode, the transmission will shift up or down when (+/-) is manually selected
by the driver, unless an engine lugging or overspeed condition would result.
NOTE:
To disengage AutoStick® mode, press and hold the (+) shift paddle until "D" is once again
displayed in the instrument cluster. You can shift in or out of AutoStick® mode at any time
without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive wheels
could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or personal injury.
