SAFETY FEATURES
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
The ABS provides increased vehicle stability and
brake performance under most braking conditions.
The system automatically prevents wheel lock and
enhances vehicle control during braking.
The ABS performs a self-check cycle to ensure that
the ABS is working properly each time the vehicle
is started and driven. During this self-check, you
may hear a slight clicking sound as well as some
related motor noises.
The ABS is activated during braking when the
system detects one or more wheels are beginning
to lock. Road conditions such as ice, snow, gravel,
bumps, railroad tracks, loose debris, or panic stops
may increase the likelihood of ABS activation(s).
You also may experience the following normal
characteristics when the ABS activates:
The ABS motor noise or clicking sounds (you may
continue to hear for a short time after the stop).
Brake pedal pulsations.
A slight drop of the brake pedal at the end of the
stop.The ABS is designed to function with the Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) tires. Modification
may result in degraded ABS performance.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning
Light
The yellow ABS Warning Light will turn on when the
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN mode and may
stay on for as long as four seconds.
If the ABS Warning Light remains on or comes on
while driving, it indicates that the anti-lock portion
of the brake system is not functioning and that
service is required. However, the conventional
brake system will continue to operate normally if
the ABS Warning Light is on.
If the ABS Warning Light is on, the brake system
should be serviced as soon as possible to restore
the benefits of Anti-Lock Brakes. If the ABS
WARNING!
The ABS contains sophisticated electronic
equipment that may be susceptible to interfer
-
ence caused by improperly installed or high
output radio transmitting equipment. This
interference can cause possible loss of
anti-lock braking capability. Installation of
such equipment should be performed by qual -
ified professionals.
Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish
their effectiveness and may lead to a collision.
Pumping makes the stopping distance longer.
Just press firmly on your brake pedal when you
need to slow down or stop.
The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it
increase braking or steering efficiency beyond
that afforded by the condition of the vehicle
brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
The ABS cannot prevent collisions, including
those resulting from excessive speed in turns,
following another vehicle too closely, or hydro -
planing.
The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle
must never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner that could jeopardize the
user’s safety or the safety of others.

Warning Light does not come on when the ignition
is placed in ON/RUN mode, have the light repaired
as soon as possible.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL (EBC)
S
YSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced
Electronic Brake Control (EBC) system. This system
includes Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Brake
Assist System (BAS), Dynamic Steering Torque
(DST), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD),
Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Electronic Roll
Mitigation (ERM), Hill Start Assist (HSA), and
Traction Control System (TCS). These systems work
together to enhance both vehicle stability and
control in various driving conditions.
Brake System Warning Light
The red Brake System Warning Light will turn on
when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN mode
and may stay on for as long as four seconds.
If the Brake System Warning Light remains on or
comes on while driving, it indicates that the brake
system is not functioning properly and that
immediate service is required. If the Brake System
Warning Light does not come on when the ignition
is placed in the ON/RUN mode, have the light
repaired as soon as possible.
Brake Assist System (BAS)
The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s
braking capability during emergency braking
maneuvers. The system detects an emergency
braking situation by sensing the rate and amount
of brake application and then applies optimum
pressure to the brakes. This can help reduce
braking distances. The BAS complements the
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). Applying the brakes
very quickly results in the best BAS assistance. To
receive the benefit of the system, you must apply
continuous braking pressure during the stopping
sequence (do not “pump” the brakes). Do not
reduce brake pedal pressure unless braking is no
longer desired. Once the brake pedal is released,
the BAS is deactivated.
Dynamic Steering Torque (DST)
DST is a feature of the ESC and Electric Power
Steering (EPS) modules that provides torque at the
steering wheel for certain driving conditions in
which the ESC module is detecting vehicle
instability. The torque that the steering wheel
receives is only meant to help the driver realize
optimal steering behavior in order to reach/
maintain vehicle stability. The only notification the
driver receives that the feature is active is the
torque applied to the steering wheel.
NOTE:The DST feature is only meant to help the driver
realize the correct course of action through small
torques on the steering wheel, which means the
effectiveness of the DST feature is highly
dependent on the driver’s sensitivity and overall
reaction to the applied torque. It is very important
to realize that this feature will not steer the vehicle,
meaning the driver is still responsible for steering
the vehicle.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
EBD manages the distribution of the braking
torque between the front and rear axles by limiting
braking pressure to the rear axle. This is done to
prevent overslip of the rear wheels to avoid vehicle
instability, and to prevent the rear axle from
entering ABS before the front axle.
WARNING!
The Brake Assist System (BAS) cannot prevent
the natural laws of physics from acting on the
vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded
by prevailing road conditions. BAS cannot
prevent collisions, including those resulting from
excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery
surfaces, or hydroplaning. The capabilities of a
BAS-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in
a reckless or dangerous manner, which could
jeopardize the user's safety or the safety of
others.

Overtaking Traffic
If you pass another vehicle slowly with a relative
speed less than 15 mph (25 km/h) and the vehicle
remains in the blind spot for approximately
1.5 seconds, the warning light will be illuminated.
If the difference in speed between the two vehicles
is greater than 15 mph (25 km/h), the warning
light will not illuminate.
Overtaking/Approaching Overtaking/Passing
The BSM system is designed not to issue an alert
on stationary objects such as guardrails, posts,
walls, foliage, berms, etc. However, occasionally
the system may alert on such objects. This is
normal operation and your vehicle does not require
service.
The BSM system will not alert you of objects that
are traveling in the opposite direction of the vehicle
in adjacent lanes Ú page 297.
Opposing Traffic
WARNING!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only an aid
to help detect objects in the blind spot zones.
The BSM system is not designed to detect
pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals. Even if your
vehicle is equipped with the BSM system, always
check your vehicle’s mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and use your turn signal before
changing lanes. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
22_FD_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 180
Page 184 of 312

182SAFETY
NOTE:The BSM system will store the current operating
mode when the vehicle is shut off. Each time the
vehicle is started the previously stored mode will
be recalled and used.
Blind Spot Monitoring Fault Warnings
Blinded Sensor
In the case of a blinded sensor:
BSM Mirror Warning Lights are turned on contin -
uously.
An instrument cluster message will display
“Blind Spot Monitoring Unavailable - Wipe Rear
Bumper Corners.”
NOTE:The rear fascia/bumper must be clean and free of
any obstructing debris.
System Not Available
In the case of the system being temporarily
unavailable:
BSM Mirror Warning Lights are turned on contin -
uously.
An instrument cluster message will display
“Blind Spot Monitoring Temporarily Unavail -
able.” In the case of the system being completely
unavailable:
A chime will turn on.
An instrument cluster message will display
“Blind Spot Monitoring Unavailable - Service
Required.”
NOTE:The vehicle must be taken to the nearest autho
-
rized dealer for service.
FULL BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM WITH
M
ITIGATION
The Full Brake Control system with Mitigation
provides the driver with audible warnings (through
the radio), visual warnings (within the instrument
cluster display), and may apply a brake jerk to warn
the driver when it detects a potential frontal
collision. The warnings and limited braking are
intended to provide the driver with enough time to
react, avoid or mitigate the potential collision.
NOTE:
The Full Brake Control system monitors the
information from the forward looking sensors as
well as the Electronic Brake Controller (EBC), to
calculate the probability of a forward collision.
When the system determines that a forward
collision is probable, the driver will be provided with audible and visual warnings and may
provide a brake jerk warning.
If the driver does not take action based upon
these progressive warnings, then the system
will provide a limited level of active braking to
help slow the vehicle and mitigate the potential
forward collision. If the driver reacts to the warn
-
ings by braking and the system determines that
the driver intends to avoid the collision by
braking but has not applied sufficient brake
force, the system will compensate and provide
additional brake force as required.
After the end of the intervention of automatic
braking, the transmission may remain in last gear
stored; therefore the car could lurch forward, once
the brakes release a few seconds later. If the Full
Brake Control system event stops the vehicle
completely, the system will hold the vehicle at
standstill for two seconds and then release the
brakes.
If a Full Brake Control system event begins at a
speed below 26 mph (42 km/h), the system may
provide the maximum braking possible to mitigate
the potential forward collision. If the Full Brake
Control system event stops the vehicle completely,
the system will hold the vehicle at standstill for two
seconds and then release the brakes.
22_FD_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 182
Page 186 of 312

184SAFETY
By changing the option to "Near", the system will
warn the driver of a possible accident with the
vehicle ahead of it when the latter is a reduced
distance. This setting offers a reaction time to the
driver lower than the settings "Medium" and "Far",
in the case of a potential accident, which will
provide a more dynamic driving experience.
The setting of the sensitivity of the system is
maintained in memory when the engine is
switched off.
Full Brake Control System Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster display reads “Brake
Control Limited Functionality” or “Brake Control
Limited Functionality Clean Front Windshield”
momentarily, there may be a condition that limits
Full Brake Control system functionality. Although
the vehicle is still drivable under normal
conditions, the active braking may not be fully
available. Once the condition that limited the
system performance is no longer present, the
system will return to its full performance state. If
the problem persists, see an authorized dealer.
Service Full Brake Control System Warning
If the system turns off, and the instrument cluster
display displays “Service Brake Control”.
This indicates there is an internal system fault.
Although the vehicle is still drivable under normal
conditions, have the system checked by an
authorized dealer. “Brake Control Front Radar Sensor Temporarily
Blocked” Warning
The “Brake Control Front Radar Sensor
Temporarily Blocked” warning will display when
conditions temporarily limit system performance.
This most often occurs at times of poor visibility,
such as in snow or heavy rain. The system may also
become temporarily blinded due to obstructions,
such as mud, dirt or ice. In these cases, the
instrument cluster display will display “Brake
Control Front Radar Sensor Temporarily Blocked”
and the system will deactivate.
The “Brake Control Front Radar Sensor
Temporarily Blocked” message can sometimes be
displayed while driving in highly reflective areas
(i.e. tunnels with reflective tiles, or ice and snow).
The system will recover after the vehicle has left
these areas. Under rare conditions, when the radar
is not tracking any vehicles or objects in its path
this warning may temporarily occur.
If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver
should examine the sensor. It may require cleaning
or removal of an obstruction. The sensor is located
behind the lower grille. In absence of visible
obstructions on the fascia/bumper, it could be
necessary to wipe off the radar directly on the
surface, after having the radar cover removed. It’s
recommended that an authorized dealer performs
this operation.
NOTE:
If the “Brake Control Front Radar Sensor Tempo
-
rarily Blocked” message occurs frequently (e.g.
more than once on every trip) without any snow,
rain, mud, or other obstruction, have the radar
sensor realigned at an authorized dealer.
Installing a snow plow, front-end protector, an
aftermarket grille or modifying the grille is not
recommended. Doing so may block the sensor
and inhibit Full Brake Control system operation.
Precautions While Driving With Full Brake
Control System
In certain driving conditions, such as:
Driving in the vicinity of a curve
Small vehicles and/or not aligned to the lane
Lane changing of other vehicles
Passing of vehicles in an oncoming intersection
The intervention of the system could be
unexpected or delayed. The driver must therefore
always pay particular attention, while maintaining
control of the car to drive in complete safety.

SAFETY187
NOTE:
The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire
care and maintenance, or to provide warning of
a tire failure or condition.
The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure
gauge while adjusting your tire pressure.
Driving on a significantly underinflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel effi -
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility
to maintain correct tire pressure using an accu -
rate tire gauge, even if underinflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light.
Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire
pressure, and the TPMS will monitor the actual
tire pressure in the tire.
Base System
This is the TPMS Warning Light located in
the instrument cluster.
The TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel rim
mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pressure
readings to the receiver module.
NOTE:It is particularly important for you to check the tire
pressure in all of the tires on your vehicle regularly
and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following components:
Receiver module.
Four Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM LOW
PRESSURE WARNINGS
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light
will illuminate in the instrument cluster, an
acoustic signal will be activated, and the “Check
left or right front/rear tire” text message will
display when one or more of the four active road
tire pressures are low. Should this occur, you
should stop as soon as possible, check the
inflation pressure of each tire on your vehicle, and
inflate each tire to the vehicle’s recommended
cold placard pressure value. The system will
automatically update and the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Warning Light will extinguish once the
updated tire pressures have been received. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this
information.
CHECK TPMS WARNINGS
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light
will flash on and off for 75 seconds and remain on
solid when a system fault is detected, an audible
chime will be activated and the “Service Tire
Pressure Monitoring System” text message will
display. If the ignition is cycled, this sequence will
repeat providing the system fault still exists. The
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light will
turn off when the fault condition no longer exists. A
system fault can occur with any of the following
scenarios:
Jamming due to electronic devices or driving
next to facilities emitting the same radio
frequencies as the TPMS sensors.
Installing some form of aftermarket window
tinting that affects radio wave signals.
Snow or ice around the wheels or wheel hous
-
ings.
Using tire chains on the vehicle.
Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS
sensors.
NOTE:Your vehicle may be equipped with a compact
spare wheel and tire assembly.
The compact spare tire does not have a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System sensor. Therefore,
the TPMS will not monitor the tire pressure in
the compact spare tire.

22_FD_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 187
Page 190 of 312

188SAFETY
If you install the compact spare tire in place of a
road tire that has a pressure below the low-pres -
sure warning limit, upon the next ignition cycle,
a chime will sound and the Tire Pressure Moni -
toring System Warning Light will still turn on due
to the low tire.
However, after driving the vehicle for up to
20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain
on solid.
This occurs for each subsequent ignition cycle,
a chime will sound and the Tire Pressure Moni -
toring System Warning Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.
Once you repair or replace the original road tire
and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the
compact spare tire, the TPMS will update auto -
matically and the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Warning Light will turn off, as long as no
tire pressure is below the low-pressure warning
limit in any of the four active road tires. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to
20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order
for the TPMS to receive this information.
OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety features in your
vehicle are the restraint systems:
OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
Seat Belt Systems
Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) Air Bags
Child Restraints
Some of the safety features described in this
section may be standard equipment on some
models, or may be optional equipment on others. If
you are not sure, ask an authorized dealer.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please pay close attention to the information in
this section. It tells you how to use your restraint
system properly, to keep you and your passengers
as safe as possible.
Here are some simple steps you can take to
minimize the risk of harm from a deploying air bag:
1. Children 12 years old and under should always ride buckled up in the rear seat of a
vehicle with a rear seat
2. A child who is not big enough to wear the vehicle seat belt properly must be secured in
the appropriate child restraint or
belt-positioning booster seat in a rear seating
position Ú page 204. 3. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in a
rear-facing child restraint) must ride in the
front passenger seat, move the seat as far
back as possible and use the proper child
restraint Ú page 204.
4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm.
5. You should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make sure that you are
using it properly.
6. All occupants should always wear their lap and shoulder belts properly.
7. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the
front air bags room to inflate.
8. Do not lean against the door or window. If your vehicle has side air bags, and deployment
occurs, the side air bags will inflate forcefully
into the space between occupants and the
door and occupants could be injured.
9. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person,
see Úpage 294 for customer service contact
information.

194SAFETY
Switchable Automatic Locking Retractors
(ALR)
The seat belts in the passenger seating positions
are equipped with a Switchable Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) which is used to secure a child
restraint system Ú page 211.
The figure below illustrates the locking feature for
each seating position.
Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) Locations
If the passenger seating position is equipped with
an ALR and is being used for normal usage, only
pull the seat belt webbing out far enough to
comfortably wrap around the occupant’s
mid-section so as to not activate the ALR. If the ALR
is activated, you will hear a clicking sound as the
seat belt retracts. Allow the webbing to retract completely in this case and then carefully pull out
only the amount of webbing necessary to
comfortably wrap around the occupant’s
mid-section. Slide the latch plate into the buckle
until you hear a "click."
In Automatic Locking Mode, the shoulder belt is
automatically pre-locked. The seat belt will still
retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt.
Use the Automatic Locking Mode anytime a child
restraint is installed in a seating position that has
a seat belt with this feature. Children 12 years old
and under should always be properly restrained in
the rear seat of a vehicle with a rear seat.
How To Engage The Automatic Locking Mode
1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder
belt.
2. Grab the shoulder portion and pull downward
until the entire seat belt is extracted.
3. Allow the seat belt to retract. As the seat belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This
indicates the seat belt is now in the Automatic
Locking Mode.
How To Disengage The Automatic Locking Mode
Unbuckle the combination lap/shoulder belt and
allow it to retract completely to disengage the
Automatic Locking Mode and activate the vehicle
sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
ALR — Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor
WARNING!
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying passenger
front air bag can cause death or serious injury
to a child 12 years or younger, including a
child in a rear-facing child restraint.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint in the
front seat of a vehicle. Only use a rear-facing
child restraint in the rear seat. If the vehicle
does not have a rear seat, do not transport a
rear-facing child restraint in that vehicle.
WARNING!
The seat belt assembly must be replaced if the
switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
feature or any other seat belt function is not
working properly when checked according to
the procedures in the Service Manual.
Failure to replace the seat belt assembly
could increase the risk of injury in collisions.
Do not use the Automatic Locking Mode to
restrain occupants who are wearing the seat
belt or children who are using booster seats.
The locked mode is only used to install
rear-facing or forward-facing child restraints
that have a harness for restraining the child.
