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.

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 above 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 “Understanding 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
upon adverse sight distance conditions.
•Doesnotalwaysfullyrecognizecomplexdrivingconditions,whichcanresultin
wrong or missing distance warnings.
•Willbringthevehicletoacompletestopwhilefollowingatargetvehicleandhold
the vehicle for 2 seconds in the stop position. If the target vehicle does not start
moving within two seconds the ACC system will display a message that the system
will release the brakes and that the brakes must be applied manually. An audible
chime will sound when the brakes are released.

accelerate quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit
someone or something. Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and
your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.
•Unintendedmovementofavehiclecouldinjurethoseinornearthevehicle.Aswith
all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before
exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into PARK,
turn the engine OFF, and remove the key fob. When the ignition is in the OFF
position, the transmission is locked in PARK, securing the vehicle against un-
wanted movement.
•Whenleavingthevehicle,alwaysmakesuretheignitionisintheOFFposition,
remove the key fob from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.
•Neverleavechildrenaloneinavehicle,orwithaccesstoanunlockedvehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the transmission gear
selector.
•Donotleavethekeyfobinornearthevehicle(orinalocationaccessibleto

could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
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.

dealer service the vehicle if the rearview mirror light is continuously red. On equipped
vehicles, this feature requires a functioning electrical system and wireless coverage to
function properly.If a connection is made between a 9-1-1 operator and your vehicle,
