82STARTING AND OPERATING
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Vehicles Equipped With Electronic Key
(Keyless Enter ’n Go™):
To shut off the engine with vehicle speed greater than
5 mph (8 km/h), you must push and hold the ignition or
push the ENGINE START/STOP button three times
consecutively within a few seconds. The engine will shut
down, and the ignition will be placed in the ON/RUN
position.
Turning off the car (placing the ignition from the ON/RUN
position to the OFF position), the power supply to the
accessories are maintained for a period of three minutes.
Opening the driver’s side door with the ignition in ON/RUN
will sound a short chime that reminds the driver to place
the ignition to OFF.
When the ignition is in the OFF position, the window
switches remain active for up to 10 minutes.
Opening a front door will cancel this function.
After severe driving, idle the engine to allow the
temperature inside the engine compartment to cool
before shutting off the engine.
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 contributes 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
Úpage 269.
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 inter
-
preted as a problem.
PARK BRAKE
ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE (EPB)
Your vehicle is equipped with an EPB system that offers
simple operation, and some additional features that make
the parking brake more convenient and useful.
The parking brake is primarily intended to prevent the
vehicle from rolling while parked. Before leaving the
vehicle, make sure that the parking brake is applied.
Also, be certain to leave the transmission in PARK. You can engage the parking brake in two ways:

Manually, by applying the EPB switch.
 Automatically, by enabling the Auto Park Brake feature
in the Customer Programmable Features section of the
Uconnect settings
Úpage 130.
The EPB switch is located in the center console.

Electric Park Brake Switch

To apply the parking brake manually, pull up on the switch
momentarily. You may hear a sound from the back of the
vehicle while the parking brake engages. Once the parking
brake is fully engaged, the Brake Warning Light in the
instrument cluster and an indicator on the switch will
illuminate. If your foot is on the brake pedal while you
apply the parking brake, you may notice a small amount of
brake pedal movement. The parking brake can be applied
even when the ignition switch is OFF and can only be
released when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN
position.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in
the engine or damage may result.

23_GG_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 82

84STARTING AND OPERATING
In the unlikely event of a malfunction of the EPB system, a
yellow EPB Warning Light will illuminate. This may be
accompanied by the Brake Warning Light flashing. In this
event, urgent service of the EPB system is required. Do not
rely on the parking brake to hold the vehicle stationary.
Auto Park Brake
The EPB can be programmed to be applied automatically
whenever the vehicle speed is below 1.9 mph (3 km/h)
and the transmission is placed in PARK. Auto Park Brake
is enabled and disabled by customer selection through the
Customer Programmable Features section of the
Uconnect Settings
Úpage 130.
Any single Auto Park Brake application can be bypassed by
pushing the EPB switch to the release position while the
transmission is placed in PARK and the ignition is in the
ON/RUN position.
SafeHold
SafeHold is a safety feature of the EPB system that will
engage the parking brake automatically if the vehicle is
left unsecured while the ignition switch is in ON/RUN. For automatic transmissions, the EPB will automatically
engage if all of the following conditions are met:

Vehicle speed is below 1.9 mph (3 km/h).
 There is no attempt to press the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal.
 The seat belt is unbuckled.
 The driver’s door is open.
 The vehicle is not in the PARK position.
SafeHold can be temporarily bypassed by pushing the EPB
switch while the driver’s door is open and the brake pedal
is pressed. Once manually bypassed, SafeHold will be
enabled again once the vehicle reaches 12 mph
(20 km/h) or the ignition is turned to the OFF position and
back to ON/RUN again.
Hold ‘N Go— If Equipped
Hold ‘N Go is a comfort feature that allows the driver to
remove their foot from the brake pedal once the vehicle
has come to a stop. The vehicle must be held at a
standstill for a predetermined amount of time by hydraulic
braking. The EPB will then engage and continue to hold
the vehicle at a stop until the driver applies the accelerator
pedal. Hold ‘N Go is enabled and disabled by customer
selection through the customer programmable features
section of the Uconnect Settings
Úpage 130.
The following conditions must be met for Hold ‘N Go to
activate:
 Driver’s door is closed
 Driver's seat belt is fastened
 Vehicle is at a standstill
 Forward gear is selected
 EPB is not applied
Brake Service Mode
We recommend having your brakes serviced by an
authorized dealer.
You should only make repairs for which you have the
knowledge and the right equipment. You should only enter
Brake Service Mode during brake service.
When servicing your rear brakes, it may be necessary for
you or your technician to push the rear piston into the rear
caliper bore. With the EPB system, this can only be done
after retracting the EPB actuator. The actuator retraction
can be done easily by entering Brake Service Mode
through the Uconnect Settings in your vehicle. This
menu-based system will guide you through the steps
necessary to retract the EPB actuator in order to perform
rear brake service.
Brake Service Mode has requirements that must be met in
order to be activated:
The vehicle must be at a standstill.
 The parking brake must be disabled.
 The transmission must be in PARK or NEUTRAL.
 The EPB switch not activated.
 The vehicle ignition in the ON/RUN position.
 The brake pedal not pressed.
While in Service Mode, the EPB Warning Light will flash
continuously while the ignition switch is in ON/RUN.
NOTE:A dedicated message will appear in the instrument cluster
display if Brake Service Mode cannot be activated.
WARNING!
Driving the vehicle with the parking brake engaged, or
repeated use of the parking brake to slow the vehicle,
may cause serious damage to the brake system.
Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before
driving; failure to do so can lead to brake failure and
a collision.

is started again.
 ACC will be unavailable while the Active Speed Limiter
is in use.
EXCEEDING THE SET SPEED
By fully pressing the accelerator pedal, the programmed
maximum speed can be exceeded while the device is
active.
In the event that the Active Speed Limiter set value is
exceeded manually with a driver acceleration, an audible
chime will sound. The indicator light will flash rapidly, and
a message will appear in the instrument cluster display.
The feature will remain disabled until the vehicle speed
drops below the set Active Speed Limiter value, where it
will reactivate automatically.
NOTE:While driving at a higher speed than previously set, the set
limit can be updated by pushing the SET switch upward or
downward to the new desired speed.
DEACTIVATION
To turn off Active Speed Limiter, push the Mode button
again. The indicator light in the instrument cluster display
will no longer be illuminated to confirm that the feature
has been turned off, and Adaptive Cruise Control will be

the CANC button. In this case, the system is not completely
turned off, and the driver can reactivate the Active Speed
Limiter by pressing the RES button to the previously set
speed.
INTELLIGENT SPEED ASSIST (ISA) —
IF EQUIPPED
The Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA) system
combines the Active Speed Limiter and
Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) systems to
automatically adjust the maximum speed of
the vehicle based on detected speed limit signs.
When the ISA system is activated, the maximum speed of
the vehicle will be adjusted according to the detected
traffic signs depending on the Sign Capture Mode selected
within Uconnect Settings
Úpage 130.

SIGN CAPTURE MODES
The way in which the ISA system sets a new maximum
vehicle speed depends on the Sign Capture Mode set
within the Uconnect system. When a new maximum speed
limit is set, the ISA indicator light in the instrument cluster
display will change from white to green.
Confirmation Mode
When Confirmation Mode is selected, and the Traffic Sign
Recognition (TSR) system detects a new speed limit sign,
the driver will confirm this new speed by pushing the
SET switch upward briefly, then releasing. This
confirmation of the new speed must be done within
five seconds of a newly detect speed limit sign being
shown in the instrument cluster display. Automatic Mode
When Automatic Mode is selected, the ISA system will
automatically adjust the maximum vehicle speed when
the TSR system detects a new speed limit sign. The new
speed is shown in the instrument cluster display.
The driver can reject this new speed by pushing the SET
switch upward briefly, then releasing within five seconds
of the new speed limit sign being detected and the speed
being adjusted.
NOTE:If a newly detected speed limit sign indicates a speed
higher or lower than the current maximum speed limit of
the Active Speed Limiter system, a message along with an
up arrow or a down arrow will appear in the instrument
cluster display to alert the driver.
EXCEEDING THE SET SPEED
By fully pressing the accelerator pedal, the maximum set
speed of the vehicle can be exceeded while the system is
active.
When the maximum set speed is exceeded, the green
indicator light on the instrument cluster display will blink

(ACC) system. ACC will adjust the vehicle speed up to the
preset speed to maintain a distance with the vehicle
ahead.
NOTE:If Active Speed Limiter is enabled, Adaptive Cruise Control
will be unavailable, and vice versa.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the driving
convenience provided by Cruise Control while traveling on
highways and major roadways. However, it is not a safety
system and not designed to prevent collisions.

23_GG_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 92

STARTING AND OPERATING99
TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION —
IF EQUIPPED
The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system uses a camera
mounted on the windshield, as well as map data when the
vehicle is equipped with Navigation, to detect
recognizable road signs such as:
Speed limits
 School zones
 No passing zones
NOTE:
The TSR system will automatically display the road sign
detected in the unit of measurement (mph or km/h)
selected within Uconnect Settings, or within the instru -
ment cluster display.
 If no speed limit signs are detected, the system will
revert to the speed limit signs that are stored in the
Navigation system.
 The system always checks the traffic signs indicating
the current speed limit signs. The system is able to
recognize and display up to two different road signs in
the instrument cluster display.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
The TSR System can be enabled/disabled within the
Uconnect system Úpage 130. System ON is signaled by
road signs shown on the instrument cluster display.
NOTE:
 The TSR system will keep the activated/deactivated
selection in memory between key cycles.
 Even if the system is disabled, the speed limit sign will
be displayed when the driver selects it in the Driver
Assist menu.
TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION MODES
TSR has three selectable modes of operation that are
available through the Uconnect system.
Visual
When Visual is selected, the system will alert the driver
when the current speed of the vehicle exceeds the
detected speed limit by showing a graphic in the
instrument cluster display. Visual + Chime
When Visual + Chime is selected, the system will alert the
driver when the current speed of the vehicle exceeds the
detected speed limit by showing a graphic in the
instrument cluster display, and by sounding an audible
alert. The audible alert will last for 10 seconds, and the
visual alert will remain on as long as the vehicle is
exceeding the speed limit.
NOTE:Whenever an audible alert is requested by the TSR
system, the radio is also muted.
TSR Off
When the TSR system is turned off, the system will not
show any traffic signs (unless selected in the Driver Assist
menu, which will show detected speed limit signs), and no
alerts will be issued to the driver.

104STARTING AND OPERATING
MINIMUM RISK MANEUVER
When the vehicle begins the hands-off steering wheel
warning escalation, previously described, the system will
initiate the Minimum Risk Maneuver for bringing the
vehicle to a stop.
After 23 seconds from the initial absence of the hands on
the steering wheel, the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
system will apply a brake jerk to warn the driver to take
vehicle control. If, after another 3 seconds the driver does
not take the control of the vehicle, the system will apply a
second brake jerk.
If the absence of hands on the steering wheel persists, the
system will apply automatic braking to bring the vehicle to
the stop and activate the vehicle’s hazard warning lights.
After the vehicle is stopped, the system will unlock the
doors (if previously locked).
NOTE:If the driver takes control of the vehicle during the
Minimum Risk Maneuver by placing hands on the steering
wheel or pressing the accelerator, the system Minimum
Risk Maneuver will be canceled, and the ADA system will
resume normal function.
SYSTEM STATUS
Along with changes in the system’s indicator lights (green,
yellow, and red), the system can also issue several
accompanying warnings intended to provide the driver
with enough time to react, avoid or mitigate a potential
collision.
Two haptic brake jerk warnings will be issued (red
warning light is being issued).
 A steering wheel vibration warning (if enabled) will
occur if the vehicle crosses a lane marker, for example,
when driving on a tight curve. The steering wheel vibra -
tion feature can be turned on or off within the Uconnect
system
Úpage 130.
SYSTEM OPERATION/LIMITATIONS
The Active Driving Assist system DOES NOT:
 Warn or prevent collisions with other vehicles
 Steer your vehicle around stopped vehicles, slower
vehicles, construction equipment, pedestrians, or
animals
 Respond to traffic lights or stop signs
 Merge onto highways or exit off ramps
 Turn your vehicle
 Change lanes
 React to cross traffic
NOTE:Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a core component of ADA.
For ACC system limitations, see Úpage 92.
The Active Driving Assist system may have limited or
reduced functionality when one of the following conditions
occur:
 The vehicle’s radar sensors and/or forward facing
camera is damaged, covered, misaligned, or
obstructed (e.g. by mud, ice, snow, etc.)
 If the suspension alignment is not correct, if the vehicle
is modified (e.g. lifting or lowering the suspension,
installing different sized wheels or tires)
 Driving near highway toll booths
NOTE:If damage to the windshield occurs, have the windshield
replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
WARNING!
The DDD system is an aid for driving and does not
relieve the driver of the responsibility of driving the
vehicle. If you experience fatigue while driving, pull over
safely for a break without waiting for the DDD warnings.
Only return to the road when you are in the right
physical and mental condition to prevent endangering
yourself and other drivers.

23_GG_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 104

STARTING AND OPERATING105
PARKSENSE FRONT/REAR PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Park Assist system provides visual and
audible indications of the distance between the rear, and
if equipped, the front fascia/bumper and a detected
obstacle when backing up or moving forward (e.g. during a
parking maneuver).
NOTE:
The system is designed to assist the driver and not to
substitute the driver.
 The driver must stay in full control of the vehicle's
acceleration and braking and is responsible for
controlling the vehicle's movements
Úpage 106.
ParkSense will retain the last system state (enabled or
disabled) from the last ignition cycle when the ignition is
changed to the ON/RUN position.
ParkSense is active in DRIVE or REVERSE, as long as the
system is on. The system will remain active until the
vehicle speed is increased to approximately 8 mph
(13 km/h) or above while in DRIVE or NEUTRAL, and
7 mph (11 km/h) or above while in REVERSE. While in
REVERSE and above the system's operating speed, a
warning will appear in the radio touchscreen indicating the
vehicle speed is too fast. The system will become active
again if the vehicle speed is decreased to less than
approximately 6 mph (9 km/h).
PARKSENSE SENSORS
The six ParkSense sensors (four when vehicle is not
equipped with front sensors), located in the rear fascia/
bumper, and the six ParkSense sensors located in the
front fascia/bumper, monitor the area in front and behind
the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view.
The front sensors detect obstacles from approximately
12 inches (30 cm) up to 35 inches (90 cm) from the front fascia/bumper. The rear sensors can detect obstacles
from approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 59 inches
(150 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper. These distances
depend on the location, type and orientation of the
obstacle in the horizontal direction.
PARKSENSE WARNING DISPLAY
The ParkSense Warning screen will only be displayed if the
settings are selected within the Uconnect system
Úpage 130.
The ParkSense Warning screen is located within the radio
touchscreen, and provides visual warnings to indicate the
distance between the rear fascia/bumper and/or front
fascia/bumper and the detected obstacle.
PARKSENSE DISPLAY

The warning display will turn on indicating the system status
when the vehicle is in REVERSE, or when the vehicle is in
DRIVE or NEUTRAL and an obstacle has been detected.

The system will determine if an obstacle is in course of
collision with the vehicle and will provide a visual warning
to the driver. The system will indicate a detected obstacle
by showing an arc in the left and/or right front or rear
regions based on the object’s distance and location relative to the vehicle. The color of the arc depends on the
distance and position of the obstacle inside or outside the
trajectory.
If the system detects an obstacle outside of the vehicles
trajectory then it will display in grey. When the obstacle
detected is on course of a collision the system will turn
yellow then red. If the obstacle detected is less than
12 inches (30 cm) then a continuous tone will sound and
the corresponding red arc will be displayed.
Front Park Assist Audible Alerts
When an obstacle in course of a collision gets closer to the
vehicle the tone frequency smoothly increases. The
audible alert will remain on until one of the following
conditions occurs:

The vehicle is at a standstill and the gear selector is
moved out of the REVERSE position.
 When the obstacle detected is outside of the vehicle
path.
ParkSense will turn off the Front Park Assist audible alert
(chime) after approximately three seconds when an
obstacle has been detected, or if the vehicle is stationary.
NOTE:ParkSense will reduce the volume of the radio, if on, when
the system is sounding an audible tone.
Adjustable Chime Volume Settings
Front and Rear chime volume settings can be selected
from the Uconnect system
Úpage 130.
The chime volume settings include low, medium, and high.
ParkSense will retain its last known configuration state
through ignition cycles.

STARTING AND OPERATING107
SIDE DISTANCE WARNING (SDW)
S
YSTEM
The Side Distance Warning system has the function of
detecting the presence of side obstacles near the vehicle
using the parking sensors located in the front and rear
fascias/bumpers.
Side Distance Warning Display
The Side Distance Warning screen will only be displayed if
this feature is enabled within Uconnect Settings
Úpage 130.
The system warns the driver with an acoustic signal, and
when selected, with visual indications on the radio
touchscreen display.
NOTE:ParkSense will reduce the volume of the radio if on when
the system is sounding an audible tone.
Activation/Deactivation
The system can operate only after driving a short distance
and if the vehicle speed is between 0 and 8 mph (0 and
13 km/h) while in DRIVE or NEUTRAL, or 7 mph (11 km/h) in REVERSE. The system can be activated/deactivated via
the Settings menu of the Uconnect system. If the
ParkSense System is deactivated via the ParkSense
switch, then the Side Distance Warning system will
automatically be deactivated.

Side Distance Warning System Status

NOTE:
The vehicle needs to be driven approximately one car
length in order for the Side Distance Warning system to
activate.

Before using ParkSense, it is strongly recommended
that the ball mount and hitch ball assembly be
disconnected from the vehicle when the vehicle is
not used for towing. Failure to do so can result in
injury or damage to vehicles or obstacles because
the hitch ball will be much closer to the obstacle than
the rear fascia/bumper when the vehicle sounds the
continuous tone. Also, the sensors could detect the
ball mount and hitch ball assembly, depending on its
size and shape, giving a false indication that an
obstacle is behind the vehicle.
CAUTION!
ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is unable to
recognize every obstacle, including small obstacles.
Parking curbs might be temporarily detected or not
detected at all. Obstacles located above or below the
sensors will not be detected when they are in close
proximity.
 The vehicle must be driven slowly when using
ParkSense in order to be able to stop in time when an
obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder when using
ParkSense.

PARALLEL/PERPENDICULAR PARKING
S
PACE ASSISTANCE OPERATION
When the ParkSense Active Park Assist system is enabled,
you can select between Parallel, Perpendicular, and
Parallel Park Exit maneuvers in the Uconnect system.

Choose Parking Maneuver Below
NOTE:

When searching for a parking space, use the turn
signal to select which side of the vehicle you want to
perform the parking maneuver. The ParkSense Active
Park Assist system will automatically search for a
parking space on the passenger's side of the vehicle if
the turn signal is not activated.
 The driver needs to make sure that the selected
parking space for the maneuver remains free and clear
of any obstructions (e.g. pedestrians, bicycles, etc.).
 The driver is responsible to ensure that the selected
parking space is suitable for the maneuver and free/
clear of anything that may be overhanging or
protruding into the parking space (e.g., ladders,
tailgates, etc. from surrounding objects/vehicles).
 When searching for a parking space, the driver should
drive as parallel or perpendicular (depending on the
type of maneuver) to other vehicles as possible.
 The feature will only indicate the last detected parking
space (e.g., if passing multiple available parking
spaces, the system will only indicate the last detected
parking space for the maneuver). 
While the vehicle is in DRIVE, there will be a full screen
image in the Uconnect display. If the driver shifts to
REVERSE while searching for a parking space, a
camera image will appear in the Uconnect display with
a “Shift To Drive” message.
When an available parking space has been found, and the
vehicle is not in position, you will be instructed to move
forward to position the vehicle for a perpendicular or
parallel parking sequence (depending on the type of
maneuver being performed).
Once active steering begins, a camera image will display
in the Uconnect display with prompts that will display for
the duration of the maneuver.

Parking Space Found — Keep Moving Forward
