ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM — OBD II
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated
Onboard Diagnostic system called OBD II.
This system monitors the performance of the
emissions, engine, and transmission control
systems. When these systems are operating
properly, your vehicle will provide excellent
performance and fuel economy, as well as
engine emissions well within current govern -
ment regulations.
If any of these systems require service, the
OBD II system will turn on the Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL). It will also store diag -
nostic codes and other information to assist
your service technician in making repairs.
Although your vehicle will usually be drive -
able and not need towing, see an authorized
dealer for service as soon as possible.

present, the system will return to its full
performance state. If the problem persists,
see an authorized dealer.
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the instrument
cluster display reads:
ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Required
Cruise/FCW Unavailable Service Required
This indicates there is an internal system
fault. Although the vehicle is still driveable
under normal conditions, have the system
checked by an authorized dealer.
Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) — If
Equipped
Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) is a
sub-system of the FCW system which
provides the driver with audible and visual
warnings in the instrument cluster display,
and may apply automatic braking when it
detects a potential frontal collision with a
pedestrian.
If a PEB event begins at a speed below
37 mph (60 km/h), the system may provide
braking to mitigate the potential collision
with a pedestrian. If the PEB event stops the vehicle completely, the system will hold the
vehicle at a standstill for two seconds and
then release the brakes. When the system
determines a collision with the pedestrian in
front of you is no longer probable, the
warning message will be deactivated.
The minimum speed for PEB activation is
3 mph (5 km/h).
Turning PEB On Or Off
NOTE:
The default status of PEB is “On.” This
allows the system to warn you of a possible
frontal collision with the pedestrian.
The PEB button is located in the Uconnect
display in the Controls settings. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner’s Manual for further information.
To turn the PEB system off, push the
“Pedestrian Emergency Braking” button
once.
To turn the PEB system back on, push the
“Pedestrian Emergency Braking” button
again.
Changing the PEB status to “Off” deacti
-
vates the system, so no warning or active
braking will be available in case of a possible
frontal collision with the pedestrian.
NOTE:
The PEB system will NOT retain the last
setting selected by the driver after ignition
shut down. The system will reset to the
default setting when the vehicle is restarted.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
will warn the driver of a low tire pressure
based on the vehicle recommended cold
placard pressure.
NOTE:
The system only warns the tire pressure is
low: it is not able to inflate them.
WARNING!
Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) is
not intended to avoid a collision on its
own, nor can PEB detect every type of
potential collision with a pedestrian. The
driver has the responsibility to avoid a
collision by controlling the vehicle via
braking and steering. Failure to follow this
warning could lead to serious injury or
death.
