PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The traction control system helps avoid
drive wheel spin and loss of traction.
If your vehicle begins to slide, the system
applies the brakes to individual wheels
and, when needed, reduces engine power
at the same time. If the wheels spin when
accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,
the system reduces engine power in order
to increase traction.
USING TRACTION CONTROL
In certain situations for example, stuck in
snow or mud, turning the traction control
off may be beneficial as this allows the
wheels to spin with full engine power.
Depending on the type of system you have
on your vehicle, you can either turn the
system off using the information display
or by pressing the button.
Switching the System Off Using
the Information Display Controls
(If Equipped)
Your vehicle comes with this feature
already enabled. If required, you can switch
this feature off using the information
display controls. See (page 96).
Switching the System Off Using a

When you switch the traction control
system off, stability control remains fully
active. System Indicator Lights and
Messages WARNING
If a failure has been detected within
the AdvanceTrac system, the
stability control light will illuminate
steadily. Verify that the AdvanceTrac
system was not manually disabled through
the information display. If the stability
control light still illuminates steadily, have
the system serviced by an authorized
dealer immediately. Operating your vehicle
with AdvanceTrac disabled could lead to
an increased risk of loss of vehicle control,
vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. The stability control light
temporarily illuminates on
engine start-up and flashes
when a driving condition activates the
stability system. The stability control off light
temporarily illuminates on
engine start-up and stays on
when you turn the traction control system
off.
When you turn the traction control system
off or on, a message appears in the
information display showing system status.

FRONT PARKING AID
(If Equipped) WARNINGS
The parking aid system can only
assist you to detect objects when
your vehicle is moving at parking
speeds. Take care when using the system
to avoid personal injury. The parking aid system may not
prevent contact with small or moving
objects that are close to the ground.
The parking aid system gives an audible
warning when it detects a large object
helping to avoid damage to your vehicle.
To help avoid personal injury you must take
care when using the parking aid system. Traffic control systems, inclement
weather, air brakes and external
motors and fans may affect correct
operation of the sensing system; this may
include reduced performance or a false
alerts. Front Sensing System
When the parking aid system produces an
audible warning, the audio system may
reduce the set volume to a predetermined
level.
Note:
Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt. If the
sensors are blocked system accuracy may
be affected. Do not clean the sensors with
sharp objects.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage
leaving the sensors misaligned, this will
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts. The front sensors are active when the
transmission is in any position other than
park (P). When your vehicle approaches
an object, a warning tone sounds. When
your vehicle moves closer to an object, the
warning tone repeat rate increases. The
warning tone sounds continuously when
an object is 12 in (30 cm) or less from the
front bumper.
You can also press the parking aid button
to switch the front parking aid system on
without selecting reverse ®).
The system automatically turns off when
your vehicle speed reaches
7 mph
(12 km/h). Sensor coverage area is up to 28
in (70 cm) from the front
bumper and 6-14 inches (15-35
centimeters) to the side of the
front bumper.

Obstacle Distance Indicator
(If
Equipped)
The system provides obstacle distance
indication through the information display.
The distance indicator displays when the
transmission is in reverse (R).
The indicator displays:
• As the distance to the obstacle
decreases the indicator blocks
illuminate and move towards the
vehicle icon.
• If there is no obstacle detected, the
distance indicator blocks are greyed
out.
Vehicles with automatic transmission
If the gearshift is in neutral (N), the system
provides obstacle distance indication
through the information display. If your
vehicle moves the front sensing system
provides an audible warning when the
vehicle is moving at
5 mph (8 km/h) or
below and an obstacle is located inside
the detection area. Once the vehicle is
stationary, the audio warning will be
stopped after 4 seconds. If the gearshift is in drive (D) or any other
forward gear, the front sensing system
provides audio warnings when the vehicle
is moving and an obstacle is located inside
the detection area. Once the vehicle is
stationary, the audio warning will be
stopped after 2 seconds.
ACTIVE PARK ASSIST (If Equipped) WARNING
Designed to be a supplementary park
aid, this system may not work in all
conditions. This system cannot
replace the driver ’s attention and
judgment. The driver is responsible for
avoiding hazards and maintaining a safe
distance and speed, even when the system
is in use. Note:
The driver is always responsible for
controlling the vehicle, supervising the
system and intervening if required.
The system detects an available parallel
parking space and automatically steers
your vehicle into the space (hands-free)
while you control the accelerator, gearshift
and brakes. The system visually and
audibly instructs you to park your vehicle.
The system may not function correctly if
something passes between the front
bumper and the parking space (a
pedestrian or cyclist) or if the edge of the
neighboring parked vehicle is high off the
ground (for example, a bus, tow truck or
flatbed truck).
Note: The sensors may not detect objects
in heavy rain or other conditions that cause
disruptive reflections.
Note: The sensors may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves.
