PowerShift Six-speed Automatic Transmission*
The 6-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission is
designed to offer drivers both enhanced fuel efficiency
and fun-to-drive performance.
The dual-clutch technology uses electronically shifted
clutches to operate two separate transmissions, all in
a small, lightweight package.
Since the clutch and gear operation is derived from
a manual transmission, the PowerShift automatic
transmission will drive, sound, and feel similar to
manual transmission, minus the required user-inputs.
For example, the transmission may exhibit mechanical noises, firm
gear shifts and/or light clutch vibrations when accelerating slowly as
the clutches automatically engage. These are all considered to be
normal and expected driving characteristics.
See the Transmission chapter of your Owner’s Manual for more details.
FUNCTION
Rear View Camera
Provides a video image of the area behind
the vehicle in the display in the center
of the instrument panel. The image
automatically appears when the vehicle
is in reverse (R) and uses green, yellow
and red guides to alert you of
your proximity to objects.
Integrated Blind Spot Mirrors*
Designed to assist you by increasing the visibility along the side of
your vehicle.
• The integrated convex mirror is within the upper outboard corner of
the exterior mirrors.
• When an approaching vehicle moves toward you, the reflection
appears first in the main mirror, and then in the blind spot mirror.
Active Park Assist*
The active park assist system
can detect an available parallel
parking space and automatically
steer the vehicle into that space
(hands-free). The system
instructs the driver with visual
and audible instructions with
regard to braking, accelerating
and shifting gears in order to
safely park the vehicle.
• To initiate active park assist, press the
button located
on the center console.
• To stop the parking procedure, grab the steering wheel or

Traction Control
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.
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. You can switch this
feature off in the information display, or
via a switch on the instrument panel.*

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
18 • 19*if equipped
Tire Pressure
Monitoring System
Your vehicle displays a low tire pressure
warning light in your instrument
cluster when one or more of your tires
are significantly under-inflated. If this
happens, stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, then inflate them to
the proper pressure. Refer to the Wheels
and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual
for more information.
Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel Info
Your vehicle has a 12.4 gallon (46.9L) fuel tank capacity.
If your vehicle has a yellow ring around the fuel inlet, you have
a flex fuel vehicle and can use either regular unleaded fuel,
E85 ethanol fuel or any mixture of the two.
Some tips to keep in mind with an E85 vehicle:
• It is best not to alternate repeatedly between gasoline and
E85. If you do switch fuels, it is recommended that you add as
much fuel as possible, at least half a tank.
• Do not add less than 5 gallons (18.9L) when refueling.
• You should drive the vehicle immediately after refueling for at
least 5 miles (8 km) to allow the vehicle to adapt to the
change in ethanol concentration.
• If you exclusively use E85 fuel, we recommend to fill the fuel tank
with regular unleaded gasoline at each scheduled oil change.
• Non-flex fuel vehicles use only UNLEADED fuel with a minimum
octane rating of 87. Do not use fuel
E20 - E85 ethanol (E85), diesel fuel,
fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any other fuel because it could
damage or impair the emission control system.
Location of Spare Tire and Tools
Your spare tire and tools are under the carpeted floor panel in the rear of
your vehicle.
• The spare tire is designed for emergency use only. You should replace it
as soon as possible.
• For complete details on changing your tire, refer to the Changing a Road
Wheel section in the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
Easy Fuel® Sy s t e m
To use, p ut your
vehicle into park
(P) and switch
the ignition
off. Open the
fuel-filler door.
Insert the
nozzle. Begin
fueling. Wait at least 10 seconds
before removing the fuel pump nozzle
to allow any residual fuel to drain into
the fuel tank.
When using a portable fuel container,
slowly insert the fuel funnel (located
in the spare wheel storage tray) and
pour the fuel into the funnel.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels
as they do not work with the Easy
Fuel system and may cause damage.
Properly clean or dispose of the funnel
after each use.
Front and Rear Parking Aids*
Each system sounds an audible
warning tone if there is an obstacle
near the vehicle’s front or
rear bumpers.
• As the vehicle moves closer to the
obstacle, the rate of the warning
tone increases in frequency.
• The front sensors automatically
activate when the vehicle is in
any position other than park (P).
• The reverse sensors activate
automatically when the vehicle
is in reverse (R).
• See the Parking Aids chapter in
your Owner’s Manual for complete
information on your vehicle’s
sensing systems.
Note: Visibility aids do not replace the
need to watch where the vehicle is
moving. Refer to your Owner’s Manual
for safety information, more details
and limitations.
SelectShift Automatic®
Transmission*
Gives you
the ability to
manually change
gears, if you like.
