Cancel
• Push the CANCEL button, or apply the brakes to cancel the set speed and maintainthe set speed memory.
• Push the ON/OFF button to turn the system off and erase the set speed memory.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• If your vehicle is equipped with adaptive cruise control the controls operate exactly the same as the standard cruise 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 matching the
speed of the vehicle ahead.
• If the sensor does not detect a vehicle directly ahead of you, it functions like a standard cruise control system, maintaining the speed you set.
Distance Setting (ACC Only)
• To set or change the distance setting, press the Distance button and release. Each timethe button is pressed, the distance setting adjusts between long (3), medium (2), and
short (1). The distance setting will default to the last set mode the next time the vehicle
is restarted and the ACC system is turned on.
• The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting between 3 (long), 2 (medium), and 1 (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.
Mode (ACC Only)
• If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can beoperated as a standard (fixed speed) Cruise Control. When in the standard (fixed
speed) Cruise Control mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and the
system will maintain the speed you set.
• To change between the different cruise modes, press the MODE button when the system is in either the OFF, READY or SET state. Pressing of the MODE button in any
state will result in changing to the new Mode in the OFF state.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
Forward Collision Warning
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW) warns the driver of a potential collision with the vehicle in front of you and prompts the driver to take action in order to avoid the
collision. A warning message (both audible and visual) will be displayed on the EVIC.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.

WARNING!
• Leaving the Electronic or Adaptive Speed Control system on when not in use isdangerous. You could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than
you want. You could lose control and have a collision. Always leave the
Electronic or Adaptive Speed Control system off when you are not using it.
• Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could
lose control. A collision could be the result. Do not use Electronic Speed Control
in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active driving involvement. Pay attention to road, traffic, and weather
conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead; and, brake operation to
ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your attention is
always required while driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to
follow these warnings can result in a collision or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (i.e., 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 predict the lane curvature or the movement of preceding vehicles and will not compensate for such changes.
• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can result in wrong or missing distance warnings.
• May not detect a vehicle ahead when strong light (for example, sunrise or sunset) is directly shining on the front of the vehicle.
• Can only apply a maximum of 25% 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;
and when towing a trailer.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.
• Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision.
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its own. 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.

PARKSENSE®REAR PARK ASSIST
• The four ParkSense®sensors, located in the rear fascia/bumper, monitor the area
behind the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view.
• When an object is detected within two meters behind the rear bumper while the vehicle is in REVERSE, a warning will display in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) and a chime will sound (when Sound and Display is selected from the
Customer Programmable Features section of the EVIC). As the vehicle moves closer to
the object, the chime rate will change from slow, to fast, to continuous.
Cleaning the ParkSense®Sensors
• If “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” appears in the Electronic Vehicle InformationCenter (EVIC), clean the ParkSense®sensors with water, car wash soap and a soft
cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. Do not scratch or poke the sensors. Otherwise,
you could damage the sensors.
NOTE: When the Instrument Cluster reads either Clean Sensor or Blinded, please clean
off the bumper sensors to see if the condition is corrected.
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 liftgate.
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.

BLIND SPOT MONITORING
• The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located insidethe rear bumper fascia, to detect Highway licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks,
motorcycles etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of the
vehicle.
• The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system warning light, located in the outside mirrors, will illuminate if a vehicle moves into a blind spot zone.
• The BSM system can also be configured to sound an audible (chime) alert and mute the radio to notify you of objects that have entered the detection zones.

completely raise, lift up on flipper glass
handle to open.
NOTE: If a malfunction to the liftgate latch should occur, an emergency liftgate latch
release, located on the inside of the vehicle, can be used to open the liftgate. The
emergency liftgate latch release can be accessed through a snap-in cover located on the
liftgate trim panel.
WARNING!
• Driving with the liftgate or flipper glass open can allow poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle. You and your passengers could be injured by these fumes.
Keep the flipper glass closed when you are operating the vehicle.
