TILT/TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN
• The tilt/telescoping lever is locatedbelow the steering wheel at the end of
the steering column.
• To unlock the steering column, push the control handle downward (toward
the floor).
• To tilt the steering column, move the steering wheel upward or downward as
desired.
• To lengthen or shorten the steering column, pull the steering wheel out-
ward or push it inward as desired.
• To lock the steering column in posi- tion, push the control handle upward
until fully engaged.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving. The tilt adjustment must be locked

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and
axle) in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles
(100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws
contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be
detrimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy
conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate
conditions under which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity
and quality grades, refer to “Maintaining Your Vehicle.”
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers)
of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not
interpreted as an indication of an engine problem or malfunction.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.
TURN SIGNAL/HIGH BEAM LEVER
Turn Signals/Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once and the
turn signal (right or left) will flash three

WARNING!
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute foractive driving involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive
of road, traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle
ahead; and, most importantly, brake operation to ensure safe operation of the
vehicle under all road conditions. Your complete attention is always required
while driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in a collision and death or serious personal injury.
• The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects
(e.g., a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may
be limited upon adverse sight distance conditions.
• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can
result in wrong or missing distance warnings.
• Can only apply a maximum of 40% of the vehicle’s braking capability,
and will not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
You should switch off the ACC system:
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex
driving situations (i.e., in highway construction zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp; when driving on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill slopes.
• When towing a trailer up or down steep slopes.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.

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.

mirror will turn green once a connection to a 9-1-1 operator has been made. The
green LED light will turn off once the 9-1-1 call is terminated. Have an authorized
dealer service the vehicle if the rearview mirror light is continuously red. If a
connection is made between a 9-1-1 operator and your vehicle, you understand and
agree that 9-1-1 operators may, like any other 9-1-1 call, record conversations and
sounds in and near your vehicle upon connection.
3. Roadside Assistance (If Equipped) — If your vehicle is equipped with this feature
and within wireless range, you may be able to connect to Roadside Assistance by
pressing the “Assist” button on the rearview mirror. You will be presented with

incur. In order to provide Uconnect
®Services to you, we may record and monitor
your conversations with Roadside Assistance, Uconnect®Care or Vehicle Care,
whether such conversations are initiated through the Uconnect®Services in your
vehicle, or via a landline or mobile telephone, and may share information
obtained through such recording and monitoring in accordance with regulatory
requirements. You acknowledge, agree and consent to any recording, monitoring
or sharing of information obtained through any such call recordings.

Wireless Charging Pad Operation
• To use the wireless charging pad, the coil in your mobile phone needs to align withthe coil in the charging pad, which is located directly under the Qi logo. Since each
mobile phone’s coil location is different, you may need a few attempts to locate the
correct spot for your mobile phone:
1. Place your mobile phone on the wireless charging pad, towards the Qi logo, so that the LED turns red. If the LED does not turn red, pick up the mobile phone
and change it’s location.
NOTE:
The mobile phone mustbe aligned around
the Qi logo for the LED to transition from
red to flashing green.
2. Once the LED transitions from redto flashing green, your mobile
phone is correctly placed and
charging.
3. If the LED does not transition from red to flashing green, and
just turns off, pick up your mobile
phone and reposition it on the
charging pad.
4. Use the adjustable cradle to hold the mobile phone in position. The cradle moves by pushing down on the finger tabs and moving the cradle in or out.
