24 In Brief
Lane Keep Assist (LKA) If equipped, LKA may help avoid
crashes due to unintentional lane
departures. It may assist by gently
turning the steering wheel if the
vehicle approaches a detected lane
marking without using a turn signal
in that direction. It may also provide
a Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
alert as the lane marking is crossed.
The system will not assist or alert if
it detects that you are actively
steering. Override LKA by turning
the steering wheel. LKA uses a
camera to detect lane markings
between 60 km/h (37 mph) and
180 km/h (112 mph).
See Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
0 269 and Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
0 269 .
Lane Change Alert (LCA) If equipped, the LCA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists
drivers with avoiding lane change
crashes that occur with moving
vehicles in the side blind zone areas
or with vehicles rapidly approaching these areas from behind. The LCA
warning display will light up in the
corresponding outside mirror and
will flash if the turn signal is on. The
Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
system is included as part of the
LCA system.
See Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
0 267 and Lane Change Alert (LCA)
0 267 .
Surround Vision If equipped, views around the
vehicle appear in the infotainment
display to aid with parking and
low-speed maneuvers.
See “ Surround Vision ” under
Assistance Systems for Parking or
Backing 0 254 .
Rear Vision
Camera (RVC) If equipped, RVC shows a view of
the area behind the vehicle on the
infotainment display when the
vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse) to
aid with parking and low-speed
backing maneuvers. See Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing 0 254 .
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) System If equipped, the RCTA system
shows a triangle with an arrow on
the infotainment display to warn of
traffic behind your vehicle that may
cross your vehicle's path while in
R (Reverse). In addition, beeps will
sound, or the driver seat will pulse.
See Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing 0 254 .
Park Assist If equipped, Rear Park Assist (RPA)
uses sensors on the rear bumper to
assist with parking and avoiding
objects while in R (Reverse).
It operates at speeds less than
8 km/h (5 mph). RPA may show a
warning triangle on the infotainment
display and a graphic on the
instrument cluster to provide the
object distance. In addition, multiple
beeps or seat pulses may occur if
very close to an object.

express-closing, the reversal system
will detect an object, stop, and open
the sunroof again.
See Sunroof 0 65 .
Performance and
Maintenance Traction Control/
Electronic Stability
Control The vehicle has a Traction Control
System (TCS) that limits wheel spin
and the StabiliTrak/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system that
assists with directional control of the
vehicle in difficult driving conditions.
Both systems come on
automatically when the vehicle is
started and begins to move.
.
To turn off TCS, press and

displays.
.
Press and release
g again to
turn on both systems.
StabiliTrak/ESC will automatically
turn on if the vehicle exceeds
56 km/h (35 mph). Traction control
will remain off.
See Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control 0 243 .
Tire Pressure Monitor This vehicle may have a Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
The low tire pressure warning light
alerts to a significant loss in
pressure of one of the vehicle's
tires. If the warning light comes on,
stop as soon as possible and inflate the tires to the recommended
pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See
Vehicle Load Limits 0 209 . The
warning light will remain on until the
tire pressure is corrected.
The low tire pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as the vehicle is driven. This
may be an early indicator that the
tire pressures are getting low and
the tires need to be inflated to the
proper pressure.
The TPMS does not replace normal
monthly tire maintenance. Maintain
the correct tire pressures.
See Tire Pressure Monitor System
0 369 .
Tire Fill Alert (If Equipped)
This feature provides visual and
audible alerts outside the vehicle to
help when inflating an underinflated
tire to the recommended cold tire
pressure. See “ Tire Fill Alert (If
Equipped) ” under Tire Pressure
Monitor Operation 0 370 .Fuel (Gasoline - Except
L87 6.2L Engine) Regular Unleaded Fuel
Use only Regular 87 octane —
(R+M)/2 — or higher unleaded
gasoline in your vehicle. TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline is
recommended. Do not use gasoline
with an octane rating lower as it will
result in reduced performance and
lower fuel economy.
See Recommended Fuel (Except
6.2L V8 Engine) 0 271 or
Recommended Fuel (6.2L
V8 Engine) 0 271 .

Keys, Doors, and Windows 55.
Always unlock a door with the
RKE transmitter.
Unlocking the driver door with
the key will not disarm the
system or turn off the alarm.
How to Detect a Tamper
Condition If
K is pressed on the RKE
transmitter and the horn chirps three
times, an alarm occurred previously
while the alarm system was armed.
If the alarm has been activated, a
message will appear on the DIC.
Immobilizer See Radio Frequency Statement
0 443 .
Immobilizer Operation This vehicle has a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The system does not have to be
manually armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically
immobilized when the vehicle is
turned off.
The system is automatically
disarmed when the ignition is turned
from off to on.
The security light, in the instrument
cluster, comes on if there is a
problem with arming or disarming
the theft-deterrent system.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light comes on briefly when
the ignition is turned on.
If the engine does not start and the
security light stays on, there is a
problem with the system. Turn the
ignition off and try again.
If the vehicle will not change ignition
modes (ACC/ACCESSORY, on, off),
and the RKE transmitter appears to
be undamaged, try another
transmitter. Or, you may try placing the transmitter in the transmitter
pocket in the center console. See
Keys 0 30 .
If the ignition modes will not change
with the other transmitter or in the
transmitter pocket, your vehicle
needs service. If the ignition does
change modes, the first transmitter
may be faulty. See your dealer who
can service the theft-deterrent
system and have a new RKE
transmitter programmed to the
vehicle.
It is possible for the immobilizer
system to learn a new or
replacement transmitter. Up to eight
transmitters can be programmed for
the vehicle.
Do not leave the transmitter or
device that disarms or deactivates
the vehicle theft system in the
vehicle.
When equipped with a key, if the
engine still does not start, and the
key appears to be undamaged, try
another ignition key. It may be
necessary to check the fuse. See
Fuses and Circuit Breakers 0 350 .

Seats and Restraints 87Warning (Continued)airbags. Airbags are designed to
work with seat belts, not replace
them. Also, airbags are not
designed to inflate in every crash.
In some crashes seat belts are
the only restraint. See When
Should an Airbag Inflate? 0 89 .
Wearing your seat belt during a
crash helps reduce your chance
of hitting things inside the vehicle
or being ejected from it. Airbags
are “ supplemental restraints ” to
the seat belts. Everyone in the
vehicle should wear a seat belt
properly, whether or not there is
an airbag for that person.
{ Warning
Because airbags inflate with great
force and faster than the blink of
an eye, anyone who is up
against, or very close to, any
(Continued) Warning (Continued) airbag when it inflates can be
seriously injured or killed. Do not
sit unnecessarily close to any
airbag, as you would be if sitting
on the edge of the seat or leaning
forward. Seat belts help keep you
in position before and during a
crash. Always wear a seat belt,
even with airbags. The driver
should sit as far back as possible
while still maintaining control of
the vehicle. The seat belts and
the front outboard passenger
airbags are most effective when
you are sitting well back and
upright in the seat with both feet
on the floor.
Occupants should not lean on or
sleep against the door or side
windows in seating positions with
seat-mounted side impact airbags
and/or roof-rail airbags. { WarningChildren who are up against,
or very close to, any airbag when
it inflates can be seriously injured
or killed. Always secure children
properly in the vehicle. To read
how, see Older Children 0 99 or
Infants and Young Children
0 100 .
There is an airbag readiness light
on the instrument cluster, which
shows the airbag symbol.
The system checks the airbag
electrical system for malfunctions.
The light tells you if there is an
electrical problem. See Airbag
Readiness Light 0 147 .
