feature. Press the window switch past the first detent,
release, and the window will go down automatically.
To open the window part way, press the window
switch to the first detent and release it when you want
the window to stop.

• If the window runs into any obstacle during Auto-
closure, it will reverse direction and then go back
down. Remove the obstacle and use the window
switch again to close the window.
• Any impact due to rough road conditions may trigger the auto-reverse function unexpectedly during auto-
closure. If this happens, pull the switch lightly to the
first detent and hold to close window manually.
WARNING!
There is no anti-pinch protection when
th e
window is almost closed. To avoid
personal injury, be sure to clear your arms, hands,
fingers, and objects from the window path before
closing the window. Such entrapment may result
in serious injury.

ESC ACTIVATION/MALFUNCTION
INDICATOR LIGHT AND ESC OFF
INDICATOR LIGHTThe “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” in the instrument cluster will come on
when the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position. It should go out with the engine
running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” comes on continuously with the engine running,
a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If
this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and
the vehicle has been driven several kilometers at
speeds greater than 48 km/h, see your authorized
dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diag-
nosed and corrected.
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” (lo-
cated in the instrument cluster) starts to flash as soon
as the tires lose traction and the ESC system becomes
active. The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” also flashes when TCS is active. If the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” begins to flash
during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and
apply as little throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your
speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions. NOTE:
• The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light”
and the “ESC OFF Indicator Light” come on momen-
tarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON.
• Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESC system will be ON even if it was turned off previously.
• The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking sounds when it is active. This is normal; the sounds will stop
when ESC becomes inactive following the maneuver
that caused the ESC activation.
The “ESC OFF Indicator Light” indicates the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is in Partial
OFF mode.
HILL START ASSIST (HSA)
The HSA system is designed to assist the driver when
starting a vehicle from a stop on a hill. HSA will
maintain the level of brake pressure the driver applied
for a short period of time after the driver takes their
foot off of the brake pedal. If the driver does not apply
the throttle during this short period of time, the
system will release brake pressure and the vehicle will
roll down the hill. The system will release brake pres-
sure in proportion to the amount of throttle applied as
the vehicle starts to move in the intended direction of
travel.

TRAILER SWAY CONTROL (TSC)
TSC uses sensors in the vehicle to recognize an exces-
sively swaying trailer. TSC activates automatically once
the excessively swaying trailer is recognized. When
TSC is functioning, the “ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light” will flash, the engine power will be
reduced, and you will feel the brake being applied to
individual wheels in an attempt to stop the trailer from
swaying.
NOTE:The TSC is disabled when the ESC system is in
the “Partial Off ” mode.
WARNING!
• TSC cannot stop all trailers from
s w
aying. Always use caution when tow-
ing a trailer and follow the tongue weight recom-
mendations. Refer to “Trailer Towing” in “Starting
and Driving” for further information.
• If TSC activates while towing a trailer, stop the
vehicle at the nearest safe location and adjust
the trailer load to eliminate the trailer sway.
• Failure to follow these warnings can result in an
accident or serious personal injury.
ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM —
OBD II
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard
diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors
the performance of the emissions, engine, and auto-
matic transmission control systems. When these sys-
tems are operating properly, your vehicle will provide
excellent performance and fuel economy, as well as
engine emissions well within current government regu-
lations.
If any of these systems require service, the OBD II
system will turn on the “Malfunction Indicator Light”
(MIL). It will also store diagnostic codes and other
information to assist your service technician in making
repairs. Although your vehicle will usually be drivable
and not need towing, see your authorized dealer for
service as soon as possible.
• Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause further damage to the emis-
sion control system. It could also affect
fuel economy and driveability.The vehicle must be
serviced before any emissions tests can be per-
formed.
• If the MIL is flashing while the engine is running,
severe catalytic converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service is required.

PARKVIEW® REAR BACK UP
CAMERA (for versions/markets,
where provided)
Your vehicle may be equipped with the ParkView®
Rear Back Up Camera that allows you to see an
on-screen image of the rear surroundings of your
vehicle whenever the shift lever is put into REVERSE.
The ParkView® camera is located on the rear of the
vehicle above the rear License plate. The image will be
displayed in the touchscreen display along with a cau-
tion note to “check entire surroundings” across the top
of the screen. After five seconds this note will disap-
pear.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE, the rear
camera mode is exited and the last selected touch-
screen appears again.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Camera Delay
feature and it is turned ON, the rear camera image will
be displayed for up to 10 seconds when the vehicle is
shifted out of REVERSE unless the forward vehiclespeed exceeds 13 km/h, the transmission is shifted into
"PARK" or the vehicle's ignition is cycled to the OFF
position.
Static grid lines will illustrate the width of the vehicle
while a dashed center-line will indicate the center of
the vehicle to assist with parking or aligning to a
hitch/receiver. The static grid lines will show separate
zones that will help indicate the distance to the rear of
the vehicle.
NOTE:
The ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera has
programmable modes of operation that may be se-
lected through the Uconnect® System. Refer to
“Uconnect® Settings” in “Knowing Your Vehicle” for
further information.
Different colored zones indicate the distance to the
rear of the vehicle.
The following table shows the approximate distances
for each zone:

DVD Region Codes
The DVD player and many DVD discs are coded by
geographic region. These region codes must match in
order for the disc to play. If the region code for the
DVD disc does not match the region code for the
player, the disc will stop playing and a warning will be
displayed.
DVD Audio Support
When a DVD-Audio disc is inserted in the DVD player,
the DVD-Audio title on the disc is played by default
(most DVD-Audio discs also have a Video title, but the
Video title is ignored). All multi-channel program ma-
terial is automatically mixed down to two channels,
which may result in a lowered apparent volume level. If
you increase the volume level to account for this
change in level, remember to lower the volume before
changing the disc or to another mode.
Recorded Discs
The DVD player will play CD-R and CD-RW discs
recorded in CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or as a
CD-ROM containing MP3 or WMA files. The player
will also play DVD-Video content recorded to a
DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-ROM discs.
If you record a disc using a personal computer, there
may be cases where the DVD player may not be able to
play some or the entire disc, even if it is recorded in acompatible format and is playable on other players. To
help avoid playback problems, use the following guide-
lines when recording discs.
• Open sessions are ignored. Only sessions that are
closed are playable.
• For multi-session CDs that contain only multiple CD-Audio sessions, the player will renumber the
tracks so each track number is unique.
• For CD Data (or CD-ROM) discs, always use the ISO-9660 (Level 1 or Level 2), Joliet, or UDF format.
CD-DA may also be used for PCM Audio contained
on CD-Based Data.
• The player recognizes a maximum of 512 files and 99 folders per CD-R and CD-RW disc.
• Mixed media recordable DVD formats will only play the Video_TS portion of the disc.
If you are still having trouble writing a disc that is
playable in the DVD player, check with the disc record-
ing software publisher for more information about
burning playable discs.
The recommended method for labeling recordable
discs (CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R and DVD-RW) is with a
permanent marker. Do not use adhesive labels as they
may separate from the disc, become stuck, and cause
permanent damage to the DVD player.
