VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
To Arm:
• Lock the door using either the power door lock switch (one door must be open) or theLOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (doors can be open or
closed), and close all doors.
NOTE:
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you lock the doors with the manual door lock
plungers.
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash for 16 seconds. This shows
that the Vehicle Security Alarm is arming. During this period, if a door is opened, the ignition
is cycled to ON/RUN, or the power door locks are unlocked in any manner, the Vehicle
Security Alarm will automatically disarm.
NOTE:
Once armed, the Vehicle Security Alarm disables the unlock switch on the driver door trim
panel and passenger door trim panel.
To Disarm The System:
• Push the Key Fob UNLOCK button or cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle; however, you can create
conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm. If one of the
previously described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security Alarm will arm
regardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and open a
door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery becomes disconnected the Vehicle
Security Alarm will remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
SEAT BELT
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack in the lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the
latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt
in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision. You are
more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt. The lap and
shoulder belt are meant to be used together.

ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECTION (ERS)
• Electronic Range Select (ERS) allows youto limit the highest available transmis-
sion gear, and can be activated during any
driving condition. When towing a trailer or
operating the vehicle in off-road condi-
tions, using ERS shift control will help you
maximize both performance and engine
braking.
• To shift from DRIVE mode to ERS mode, move the shift lever to the left (-) once.
The current gear will be maintained as the
top gear. To disable ERS, simply press and
hold the shift lever to the right (+) until “D”
is displayed in the instrument cluster
odometer.
• Switching between ERS and DRIVE mode can be done at any vehicle speed.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
FUEL ECONOMY (ECON) MODE
•The Fuel Economy (ECON) mode can im-
prove the vehicle’s overall fuel economy
during normal driving conditions.
• Press the ECON switch in the center stack of the instrument panel and a green light
will indicate the ECON mode is engaged.
• When the ECON Mode is engaged, the vehicle control systems will be able to
change the following:• The transmission will upshift sooner
and downshift later.
• The transmission will skip select gears during shifts to allow the engine to
operate at lower speeds.
• The torque converter clutch may en- gage 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 warningwill display 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
into REVERSE. 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.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
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 pedestri-
ans, 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 insidethe 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.

ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER (EVIC)
• The EVIC features a driver interactive dis-play that is located in the instrument
cluster. Pressing the controls on the left
side of the steering wheel allows the
driver to select vehicle information and
Personal Settings. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Programmable Fea-
tures” located in this guide.
• Press and release the UP
button to
scroll upward through the main menus
(Fuel Economy, Vehicle Speed, Trip Info,
Vehicle Info, Messages, Units, System
Set-Up, Turn Menu Off) and sub menus.
• Press and release the DOWN
button to scroll downward through the main menus and
sub menus.
• Press and release the SELECT
button for access to main menus, sub menus or to
select a personal setting in the setup menu.
• Press the BACK button to scroll back to a previous menu or sub menu.
Compass Calibration
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 EVIC will display “CAL”
until the compass is calibrated.
You may also calibrate the compass by completing one or more 360 degree turns (in an area
free from large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL” message displayed in the EVIC
turns off. The compass will now function normally.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Indicator Light
If this indicator light flashes during acceleration, apply as little throttle as possible. While
driving, ease up on the accelerator. Adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road
conditions. To improve the vehicle's traction when starting off in deep snow, sand or gravel,
it may be desirable to switch the ESC system off.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the
size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine
the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST THE AIR
PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD
OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR.
