TABLE OF CONTENTS

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) —
AIR BAGS
Air Bag System Components
Your vehicle may be equipped with the following air bag system components:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
• Air Bag Warning Light
• Steering Wheel and Column
• Instrument Panel
• Knee Impact Bolsters
• Advanced Front Air Bags
• Supplemental Side Air Bags
• Supplemental Knee Air Bags
• Front and Side Impact Sensors
• Seat Belt Pretenioners
• Seat Belt Buckle Switch
• Seat Track Position Sensors
• Occupant Classification System
Advanced Front Air Bags
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger
as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The Advanced Front Air Bags
will not deploy in every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts. Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce
the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
• The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including
some that may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole
collisions, truck underrides, and angle offset collisions.
• On the other hand, depending on the type and location of impact, Advanced Front
Air Bags may deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but that
produce a severe initial deceleration.
• Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed
and damage by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag
should have deployed.
• Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all collisions, and also are needed
to help keep you in position, away from an inflating air bag.

Front Ventilated Seats
Located in the seat cushion and seatback are small fans that draw the air from the
passenger compartment and pull air through fine perforations in the seat cover to
help keep the driver and front passenger cooler in higher ambient temperatures.
There are two ventilated seat control buttons located in the touchscreen that allow
the driver and passenger to operate the seats independently.
The ventilated seat buttons are used to control the speed of the fans located in the seat.
To operate the system, press the “Controls” button on touchscreen located on the
bottom of the Uconnect®display.
• Press the ventilated seat buttononce to choose HIGH.
• Press the ventilated seat buttona second time to choose LOW.
• Press the ventilated seat buttona third time to turn the ventilated seat OFF.

WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age,
chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion, or other physical conditions must exercise care when using the steering
wheel heater. It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used
for long periods.
• Do not place anything on the steering wheel that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or steering wheel covers of any type and material. This may cause
the steering wheel heater to overheat.
TILT/TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN
• The tilt/telescoping lever is located
below 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
while driving. Adjusting the steering wheel while driving or driving without the tilt
adjustment locked could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to
follow this warning may result in you and others being severely injured or killed.

Rain Sensing Wipers
• This feature senses moisture on the vehicle's windshield and automatically
activates the wipers for the driver when the switch is in the intermittent position.

ParkSense® Active Park Assist
The ParkSense®Active Park Assist system can be enabled and disabled with the
ParkSense®Active Park Assist switch, located on the switch panel below the Uconnect®
display.
The ParkSense®Active Park Assist sys-
tem is intended to assist the driver during
parallel and perpendicular parking ma-
neuvers by identifying a proper parking
space, providing audible/visual instruc-
tions, and controlling the steering wheel.
The ParkSense®Active Park Assist sys-
tem is defined as “semi-automatic” since
the driver maintains control of the accel-
erator, shift lever and brakes. Depending
on the driver’s parking maneuver selec-
tion, the ParkSense®Active Park Assist
system is capable of maneuvering a ve-
hicle into a parallel or a perpendicular
parking space on either side (i.e., driver
side or passenger side).
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
CAUTION!
• ParkSense®is only a parking aid and it is unable to recognize every obstacle,
including small obstacles. Parking curbs might be temporarily detected or not
detected at all. Obstacles located above or below the sensors will not be
detected when they are in close proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly when using ParkSense®in order to be able
to stop in time when an obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the driver
looks over his/her shoulder when using ParkSense®.

the touchscreen keypad. Using the touchscreen, launch Yelp®by selecting the
“Apps” icon. Press the “All Apps” tab, and then press “Yelp.” To use voice
recognition, push the VR button on the steering wheel and say “launch Yelp®,”
then follow the instructions on the Teleprompter.
5.Security Alarm Notification— The Security Alarm Notification feature notifies you
via email or text (SMS) message when the vehicle’s factory-installed security
alarm system has been set-off. There are a number of reasons why your alarm may
have been triggered, one of which could be that your vehicle was stolen. If so,
please see the details of the Stolen Vehicle Assistance service below. When you
register, Security Alarm Notification is automatically set to send you an email at
the mail address you provide should the alarm go off. You may also opt to have a
text message sent to your mobile device.

ment immediately to file a stolen vehicle report. Once this report has been filed,
Uconnect®care can help locate your vehicle. The Uconnect®Care agent will ask
for the stolen vehicle report number issued by local law enforcement. Then, using
GPS technology and the built-in wireless connection within your vehicle, the
Uconnect®Care agent will be able to locate the stolen vehicle and work with law
enforcement to help recover it. (Vehicle must be within the United States, have
network coverage and must be registered with Uconnect®Access with an active
subscription that includes the applicable feature).
