BRAKE COACH
The brake coach appears after the vehiclehas come to a stop. It coaches you to brakein a manner that maximizes the amountof energy returned through theregenerative braking system.
The percent displayed indicates theregenerative braking efficiency, with 100%representing the maximum amount ofenergy recovery.
Note:While regenerative braking works inall drive modes, brake coach display maynot be available in all drive modes.
You can switch brake coach on or off in thesettings menu on your touchscreen.

WHAT IS TRACTION CONTROL
The traction control system helps to avoiddrive wheel spin and loss of traction.
HOW DOES TRACTION
CONTROL WORK
If your vehicle begins to slide, the systemapplies the brakes to individual wheelsand, when needed, reduces power at thesame time. If the wheels spin whenaccelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,the system reduces power in order toincrease traction.
SWITCHING TRACTION
CONTROL ON AND OFF
WARNING: Operating your vehiclewith the traction control disabled couldlead to an increased risk of loss of vehiclecontrol, vehicle rollover, personal injuryand death.
The system turns traction control andstability control on each time you poweron your vehicle.
The switch for the stability and tractioncontrol system is on the instrument panel.
If you press the switch, it will turn tractioncontrol off.
When you switch the system off, amessage and an illuminated icon appearon the instrument cluster.
Use the switch again to return the tractioncontrol system to normal operation.
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow,switching traction control off may bebeneficial as this allows the wheels to spin.
Note:When you switch traction control off,stability control remains fully active.
Your vehicle could have MyKey restrictionsregarding this feature. See What IsMyKey (page 76).

PARKING AID INDICATORS
The system provides object distanceindication through the information andentertainment display.
•As the distance to the objectdecreases, the indicator waves and thelines move toward the vehicle icon.
•If there is no object detected, thedistance indicator lines are grey.
Visual indication remains on when yourvehicle is in reverse (R). In any other gear,when you stop your vehicle, visualindication turns off after four seconds.
If the parking aids are not available, theside distance indicator lines do not display.

Detection Issues Can Occur:
When driving on a different linethan the vehicle in front.A
With vehicles that edge into yourlane. The system can only detectthese vehicles once they movefully into your lane.
B
There may be issues with thedetection of vehicles in frontwhen driving into and coming outof a bend or curve in the road.
C
In these cases, the system may brake lateor unexpectedly.
If something hits the front end of yourvehicle or damage occurs, theradar-sensing zone could change. Thiscould cause missed or false vehicledetection.
Optimal system performance requires aclear view of the road by thewindshield-mounted camera.
Optimal performance may not occur if:
•The camera is blocked.
•There is poor visibility or lightingconditions.
•There are bad weather conditions.
SWITCHING ADAPTIVE
CRUISE CONTROL ON AND OFF
The cruise controls are on the steeringwheel.
Switching Adaptive Cruise ControlOn
Press the button to activate thesystem. When the systemactivates, the set speed is equalto whichever is greater, the current vehiclespeed, or 15 mph when in imperial units or20 km/h when in metric units. If the speedis too low, or other conditions are notcorrect for adaptive cruise controlactivation, the system enters standbymode. When you are below 15 mph whenin imperial units or 20 km/h when in metricunits, adaptive cruise control does notactivate unless you are following anothervehicle.
The indicator, current gap setting and setspeed appear in the instrument clusterdisplay.
Switching Adaptive Cruise ControlOff
Press the button when thesystem is in standby mode orswitch the ignition off.
Note:When you switch the system off, theset speed clears.

When a vehicle ahead of you enters thesame lane or a slower vehicle is ahead inthe same lane, the vehicle speed adjuststo maintain the gap setting.
Note:When you are following a vehicle andyou switch on a turn signal lamp, adaptivecruise control may provide a small,temporary acceleration to help you pass.
Your vehicle maintains a consistent gapfrom the vehicle ahead until:
•The vehicle in front of you acceleratesto a speed above the set speed.
•The vehicle in front of you moves outof the lane you are in.
•You set a new gap distance.
The system applies the brakes to slowdown your vehicle to maintain a safe gapdistance from the vehicle in front of you.The system only applies limited braking.You can override the system by applyingthe brakes.
Note:The brakes may emit noise whenapplied by the system.
If the system determines that its maximumbraking level is not sufficient, an audiblewarning sounds, a message appears in theinstrument cluster display and an indicatorflashes when the system continues tobrake. Take immediate action.
