STARTING AND OPERATING
148
Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE
when the accelerator pedal is released and
the vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your
foot on the brake pedal when shifting
between these gears.
The transmission gear selector provides
PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, and
MANUAL (AutoStick) shift positions. Manual
shifts can be made using the AutoStick shift
control. Moving the gear selector into the
MANUAL (-/+) position (beside the DRIVE
position) activates AutoStick mode,
providing manual shift control and displaying
the current gear in the instrument cluster (as
1, 2, 3, etc.). Toggling the gear selector
forward (-) or rearward (+) while in the
MANUAL position will manually select the
transmission gear.
Refer to “AutoStick” in the Owner’s Manual.
NOTE:
If the gear selector cannot be moved to the
PARK, REVERSE, or NEUTRAL position
(when pushed forward) it is probably in the
MANUAL (AutoStick, (+/-)) position (beside
the DRIVE position). In MANUAL (AutoStick)
mode, the transmission gear (1, 2, 3, etc.) isdisplayed in the instrument cluster. Move
the gear selector to the right (into the DRIVE
[D] position) for access to PARK, REVERSE,
and NEUTRAL.
Gear Selector
Gear Ranges
Do not depress the accelerator pedal when
shifting from PARK or NEUTRAL into
another gear range.
NOTE:
After selecting any gear range, wait a
moment to allow the selected gear to engage
before accelerating. This is especially
important when the engine is cold.
AUTOSTICK
AutoStick is a driver-interactive transmission
feature providing manual shift control, giving
you more control of the vehicle. AutoStick
allows you to maximize engine braking, elim -
inate undesirable upshifts and downshifts,
and improve overall vehicle performance.
This system can also provide you with more
control during passing, city driving, cold slip -
pery conditions, mountain driving, trailer
towing and many other situations.
Operation
When the gear selector is in the AutoStick
position (beside the DRIVE position), it can
be moved forward and rearward. This allows
the driver to manually select the transmis -
sion gear being used. Moving the gear
selector forward (-) triggers a downshift, and
rearward (+) an upshift. The current gear is
displayed in the instrument cluster.

STARTING AND OPERATING

Activating Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) on/off button.
The minimum set speed for the ACC system
is 19 mph (30 km/h).When the system is turned on and in the
ready state, the instrument cluster display
will read “ACC Ready.”
When the system is off, the instrument
cluster display will read “Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) Off.”
To Set A Desired ACC Speed
When the vehicle reaches the speed desired,
push the SET (+) button or the SET (-) button
and release. The instrument cluster display
will show the set speed.
If the system is set when the vehicle speed is
below 19 mph (30 km/h), the set speed shall be defaulted to 19 mph (30 km/h). If the
system is set when the vehicle speed is
above 19 mph (30 km/h), the set speed shall
be the current speed of the vehicle.

NOTE:
ACC cannot be set if there is a stationary vehicle
in front of your vehicle in close proximity.
Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
If you do not, the vehicle may continue to
accelerate beyond the set speed. If this
occurs:
The message “DRIVER OVERRIDE” will
appear in the instrument cluster display.
The system will not be controlling the
distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead. The vehicle speed will only
be determined by the position of the
accelerator pedal.
Resume
If there is a set speed in memory, push the
RES (resume) button and remove your foot
from the accelerator pedal. The instrument
cluster display will show the last set speed.
NOTE:
If your vehicle stays at standstill for longer
than two seconds, the driver will either
have to push the RES (resume) button or
apply the accelerator pedal to reengage
the ACC to the existing set speed.
ACC cannot be resumed if there is a
stationary vehicle in front of your vehicle
in close proximity.
Does not always fully recognize
complex driving conditions, which can result in wrong or missing
distance warnings.
Will bring the vehicle to a complete
stop while following a target vehicle
and hold the vehicle for approxi-
mately 3 minutes in the stop posi-
tion. If the target vehicle does not
start moving within 3 minutes the parking br ake will be activated, and
the ACC system will be cancelled.
You should switch off the ACC system:
When driving in fog, heavy rain,
heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving situations (i.e., inhighway construction zones).
When entering a turn lane or highway
off ramp; when driving on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, slip-
pery, 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.

Enabling And Disabling ParkSense
ParkSense can be enabled and disabled with
the ParkSense switch located below the
Uconnect display.When the ParkSense switch is
pushed to disable the system, the
instrument cluster will display the
“PARKSENSE OFF” message for
approximately five seconds. When the gear
selector is moved to REVERSE and the
system is disabled, the instrument cluster
display will display the “PARKSENSE OFF”
message for as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE.
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” in
your Owner’s Manual for further information.
The ParkSense switch LED will be on when
ParkSense is disabled or requires service.
The ParkSense switch LED will be off when
the system is enabled. If the ParkSense
switch is pushed, and the system requires
service, the ParkSense switch LED will blink
momentarily, and then the LED will be on.
ParkSense System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
Ensure that the rear bumper is free of
snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the
ParkSense system operating properly.
Jackhammers, large trucks, and other
vibrations could affect the performance of
ParkSense.
When you turn ParkSense off, the instru -
ment cluster will display “PARKSENSE
OFF.” Furthermore, once you turn Park-
Sense off, it remains off until you turn it
on again, even if you cycle the ignition.
When you move the gear selector to the
REVERSE position and ParkSense is
turned off, the instrument cluster display
will display “PARKSENSE OFF” message
for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
ParkSense, when on, will reduce the
volume of the radio when it is sounding a
tone.
Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly,
taking care not to scratch or damage them.
The sensors must not be covered with ice,
snow, slush, mud, dirt or debris. Failure to
do so can result in the system not working
properly. The ParkSense system might not
detect an obstacle behind the fascia/
bumper, or it could provide a false indica-
tion that an obstacle is behind the fascia/
bumper.
Use the ParkSense switch to turn the
ParkSense system off if objects such as
bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc. are
placed within 12 inches (30 cm) from the
rear fascia/bumper. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a
close object as a sensor problem, causing
the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE
SERVICE REQUIRED” message to be
displayed in the instrument cluster
display.
ParkSense should be disabled when the
liftgate is in the open position and the
vehicle is in REVERSE. An open liftgate
could provide a false indication that an
obstacle is behind the vehicle.
