VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
To Arm:
• Lock the door using either the power door lock switch (one door must be open) orthe LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (doors can be
open or closed), and close all doors.
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash for 16 seconds. This
shows that the Vehicle Security Alarm is arming. During this period, if a door is
opened, the ignition is cycled to ON/RUN, or the power door locks are unlocked in any
manner, the Vehicle Security Alarm will automatically disarm.
NOTE:
• The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you lock the doors with the manual door lock plungers.
• Once armed, the Vehicle Security Alarm disables the unlock switch on the driver door trim panel and passenger door trim panel.
To Disarm The System:
• Push the Key Fob UNLOCK button or cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle; however, you can
create conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm. If one
of the previously described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will arm regardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle
Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery becomes disconnected the
Vehicle Security Alarm will remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The
exterior lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle
Security Alarm.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)
If your vehicle is equipped with adaptive
cruise control the controls operate ex-
actly the same as the normal (fixed
speed) speed control with one difference.
You can set a specified distance you
would like to maintain between you and
the vehicle in front of you.
If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle
ahead, ACC will apply limited braking or
acceleration automatically to maintain a
preset following distance, while match-
ing the speed of the vehicle ahead.
If the sensor does not detect a vehicle
ahead of you, ACC will maintain a fixed
set speed.
ACC ON/OFF
• Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) ON/OFF button.
ACC READY will appear on the instrument cluster to indicate the ACC is on.
• Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) ON/OFF button a second timeto turn the system off.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Off will appear on the instrument cluster to indicate
the ACC is off.
Distance Setting (ACC Only)
The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting
between four bars (longest), three bars (long), two bars (medium) and one bar (short).
Using this distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets the
distance to the vehicle ahead. This distance setting displays in the EVIC.
• To increase the distance setting, press the Distance Setting—Increase button and release. Each time the button is pressed, the distance setting increases by one bar
(longer).
• To decrease the distance setting, press the Distance Setting—Decrease button and release. Each time the button is pressed, the distance setting decreases by
one bar (shorter).

WARNING!
• Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using ParkSense®. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, look behind you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before
backing up. You are responsible for safety and must continue to pay attention
to your surroundings. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
• Before using ParkSense
®, it is strongly recommended that the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly is disconnected from the vehicle when the vehicle is not
used for towing. Failure to do so can result in injury or damage to vehicles or
obstacles because the hitch ball will be much closer to the obstacle than the
rear fascia when the loudspeaker sounds the continuous tone. Also, the sensors
could detect the ball mount and hitch ball assembly, depending on its size and
shape, giving a false indication that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.
LANESENSE
The LaneSense system can be enabled and disabled with the LaneSense button,
located on the switch panel below the Uconnect®display.
• Press the LaneSense button to turn the system ON (LED turns off).
The LaneSense system is operational at
speeds above 37 mph (60 km/h) and
below 112 mph (180 km/h). The La-
neSense system uses a forward looking
camera to detect lane markings and mea-
sure vehicle position within the lane
boundaries.
When both lane markings are detected
and the driver unintentionally drifts out
of the lane (no turn signal applied), the
LaneSense system provides a haptic
warning in the form of torque applied to
the steering wheel to prompt the driver to
remain within the lane boundaries. If the driver continues to unintentionally drift out
of the lane, the LaneSense system provides a visual warning through the instrument
cluster to prompt the driver to remain within the lane boundaries.
LaneSense Button
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
48

The driver may manually override the haptic warning by applying torque into the
steering wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected and the driver unintentionally drifts
across the lane marking (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a
visual warning through the instrument cluster to prompt the driver to remain within
the lane. When only a single lane marking is detected, a haptic (torque) warning will
not be provided.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
NOTE:
When operating conditions have been met, the LaneSense system will monitor if the
driver’s hands are on the steering wheel and provides an audible warning to the driver
when the driver’s hands are not detected on the steering wheel. The system will
cancel if the driver does not return their hands to the wheel.
PARKVIEW® REAR BACK-UP CAMERA
You can see an on-screen image of the rear of your vehicle whenever the shift lever is
put into REVERSE. The ParkView®Rear Back-Up Camera image will be displayed on
the radio display screen, located on the center stack of the instrument panel.
If the radio display screen appears foggy, clean the camera lens located on the rear
of the vehicle above the rear license plate.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up; even when using the ParkView®Rear
Back-Up Camera. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to
check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before
backing up. You must continue to pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.

Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to set the compass
manually. When the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic and the EVIC will
display “CAL” until the compass is calibrated.
You may also calibrate the compass by completing one or more 360 degree turns (in
an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL” message displayed
in the EVIC turns off. The compass will now function normally.
