NAVIGATIONNAVIGATION
Learn how to enter a destination and operate the navigation system.
Basic Navigation Operation
A real-time navigation system uses GPS and a map database to show your current 
location and help guide you to a desired destination. You can operate the system
using voice commands or the touchscreen.
To reduce the potential for driver distraction, certain manual functions \
may be
inoperable or grayed out while the vehicle is moving. Voice commands are always
available.
Steering Wheel Controls
Use the steering wheel controls to control the system.

DRIVING
Learn about preparation for driving, as well as other features.
Before Driving
Check the following items before you begin driving.
Exterior Checks
• Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior 
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
• remove any frost, snow, or ice.
• Make sure the hood is securely closed.
• Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite flammable materials left under 
the hood, causing a fire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an extended period, 
inspect and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried grass 
and leaves that have fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by a small 
animal. Also check under the hood for leftover flammable materials after you or 
someone else has performed maintenance on your vehicle.
• Make sure the tires are in good condition.
• Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.
Interior Checks
• Store or secure all items on board properly.
• Do not pile items higher in the cargo area than the seat-back height.
• Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure t\
he floor
mats.
• If you have any animals on board, do not let them move freely around in the 
vehicle.
• Securely close and lock all doors and the trunk.
• Adjust your seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly.
• Make sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll under the 
seats.
• Everyone in the vehicle must fasten their seat belt.
• Make sure that the indicators in the instrument panel come on when you s\
tart
the vehicle, and go off soon after.
If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to melt any 
ice. Do not try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim around the 
doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid further freezing.

DRIVINGDRIVING
The headlight aim on your vehicle was set by the factory, and does not need to be 
adjusted. However, if you regularly carry heavy items in the trunk or tow a trailer,
have the aiming readjusted at your dealer or by a qualified technician.
Overloading or improper loading can affect handling and stability and cause a 
crash in which you can be hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading guidelines in this guide.
WARNING
Load limits exampleExample 1
Max load
850 lbs
(385 kg) Passenger weight
150 lbs x 2 = 300 lbs (68 kg x 2 = 136 kg )Cargo
weight
550 lbs
(249 kg)
Example 2
Max load
850 lbs
(385 kg ) Passenger weight
150 lbs x 5 = 750 lbs (68 kg x 5 = 340 kg )Cargo
weight
100 lbs
(45 kg )Towing a Trailer
Your vehicle can tow a trailer if you carefully observe the load limits, use  the proper 
equipment, and follow the towing guidelines. Check the load limits before driving 
(see page 95).
Total Trailer Weight
Maximum allowable weight of the trailer, cargo, and 
everything in or on it must not exceed 1,000 lbs (450 
kg). Towing loads in excess of this can seriously
affect vehicle handling and performance and can
damage the engine and drivetrain.
Tongue Load
The weight of the tongue with a fully loaded trailer
on the hitch should be approximately 10% of the 
total trailer weight.
• excessive tongue load reduces front tire traction
and steering control. Too little tongue load can
make the trailer unstable and cause it to sway.
• To achieve a proper tongue load, start by loading 
60% of the load toward the front of the trailer and 
40% toward the rear. Readjust the load as needed.
Pre-tow Checklist
When preparing to tow, and before driving away, ensure the following:
• The vehicle has been properly serviced, and the suspension and the cooling 
system are in good operating condition.
• Avoid towing a trailer during your vehicle’s first 600 miles (1,000 km).
• The trailer has been properly serviced and is in good condition.
• All weights and loads are within limits. Never exceed the gross weight r\
atings.
• Check if all loads are within limits at a public scale. If a public scale is not 
available, add the estimated weight of your cargo load to the weight of your 
trailer (as quoted by the manufacturer) and the tongue load.
• The hitch, safety chains, and any other attachments are secure.
• All items in or on the trailer are properly secured and cannot shift whi\
le you drive.
exceeding any load limit or improperly loading your vehicle and trailer c\
an
cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Check the loading of your vehicle and trailer carefully before starting to drive.

Use the paddle shifters to change gears without removing your hands from\
the
steering wheel.
When the shift lever is in D: The vehicle goes into manual shift mode temporarily,
and the gear number appear in the instrument panel. When you start traveling at a 
constant speed or accelerate, manual shift mode automatically turns off,\

When the shift lever is in S: The vehicle goes into sequential shift mode, and 
the M indicator and gear number appear in the instrument panel. At speeds of 6 
mph (10 km/h) or less, the vehicle automatically shifts down into 1st gear. You can 
pull away only in 1st or 2nd gear. If you do not operate the paddle shifters while 
in 1st gear, the transmission automatically shifts up to 2nd gear. It does not shift

Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)*
Alerts and helps to assist you if the system determines a possibility of your vehicle 
unintentionally crossing over detected lane markings while driving between 45–90 
mph (72–145 km/h).
If your vehicle is getting too close to detected lane 
markings without a turn signal activated, a message
appears in the multi-information display. Steering
wheel torque and vibrations are applied to help your 
vehicle stay in the lane.
Braking may also be applied if the lane lines are solid 
and continuous.
If the system operates several times without detecting driver response, the system 
beeps to alert you.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)*
Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a dete\
cted lane and
visual and tactile alerts if the vehicle is detected drifting out of its\
lane while driving
between 45–90 mph (72–145 km/h).
If your vehicle is getting too close to detected left 
or right side lane markings without a turn signal
activated, the system provides visual and tactile
alerts.
A Lane Departure message appears on the multi-
information display, and the steering wheel vibrates. 
Steering torque is also applied to help keep your 
vehicle within your driving lane. Take appropriate
action to stay within your driving lane.

LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a substitute for your vehicle control. The 
system does not work if you take your hands off the steering wheel or fa\

WARNING
Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)*
Can assist you when there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a 
pedestrian detected in front of yours.
The system can give you visual, audible, and tactile alerts when a potential collision 
is determined, and reduce your vehicle speed to help minimize collision severity 
when a collision is deemed unavoidable.
When a potential collision with a detected oncoming vehicle is determined, a BRAKE 
message appears in the multi-information display, the head-up warning lights flash,
a beep sounds, and the steering wheel vibrates.
The system activates when:
• The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle or pedestrian detected 
in front of you is about 3 mph (5 km/h) and over with a chance of a collision.
• Your vehicle speed is about 62 mph (100 km/h) or less and there is a chance of a 
collision with an oncoming detected vehicle or a pedestrian in front of \
you.
*if equipped
Alert Stages
The system has three alert stages for a possible collision. Depending on  the 
circumstances or CMBS settings, CMBS may not go through all of the stage\
s
before initiating the last stage.
Stage 1: Visual and audible warning, steering wheel vibrations

The rear camera view is restricted. You cannot see the corner ends of the bumper or what is underneath the bumper. Its unique lens also makes objects appear closer or farther than they actually are.
Visually confirm that it is safe to drive before backing up. Certain conditions (such as weather, lighting, and high temperatures) may also restrict the rear view. Do not rely on the rearview display, which does not give you all information about conditions at the rear of your vehicle.
