ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)
If your vehicle is equipped with adaptive
cruise control the controls operate ex-
actly the same as the normal (fixed
speed) 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 match-
ing the speed of the vehicle ahead.
If the sensor does not detect a vehicle
ahead of you, ACC will maintain a fixed
set speed.
ACC ON/OFF
• Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) ON/OFF button.
ACC READY will appear on the instrument cluster to indicate the ACC is on.
• Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) ON/OFF button a second time
to turn the system off.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Off will appear on the instrument cluster to indicate
the ACC is off.
Distance Setting (ACC Only)
The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting
between four bars (longest), three bars (long), two bars (medium) and one bar (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.
• To increase the distance setting, press the Distance Setting—Increase button and
release. Each time the button is pressed, the distance setting increases by one bar
(longer).
• To decrease the distance setting, press the Distance Setting—Decrease button
and release. Each time the button is pressed, the distance setting decreases by
one bar (shorter).

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) WITH
MITIGATION
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system with mitigation provides the driver with
audible warnings, visual warnings within the EVIC, and may apply a brake jerk to
warn the driver when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings and limited
braking are intended to provide the driver with enough time to react, avoid or mitigate
the potential collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the forward looking sensors as well as the
Electronic Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate the probability of a forward collision.
When the system determines that a forward collision is probable, the driver will be
provided with audible and visual warnings and may provide a brake jerk warning.
If the driver does not take action based upon these progressive warnings, then the
system will provide a limited level of active braking to help slow the vehicle and
mitigate the potential forward collision. If the driver reacts to the warnings by braking
and the system determines that the driver intends to avoid the collision by braking
but has not applied sufficient brake force, the system will compensate and provide
additional brake force as required.
Turning FCW ON Or OFF
NOTE:
The default status of FCW is “On”, this allows the system to warn you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you when you are farther away and it applies
limited braking. This gives you the most reaction time to avoid a possible collision.
The forward collision button is on the switch panel that is located in the center of the
instrument panel.
•
To turn the FCW system OFF, press the forward collision button once (LED turns on).
• To turn the FCW system back ON, press the forward collision button again (LED
turns off).
Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature has two settings and can be changed within the Uconnect
®System
Screen:
• Far
• Near
NOTE:
The FCW and active braking settings can only be changed when the vehicle is in
PARK.

System Overview
This vehicle is equipped with a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) injection system and a
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst to meet the emission requirements.
The DEF injection system consists of the following components:
• DEF tank
• DEF pump
• DEF injector
• Electronically-heated DEF lines• NOx sensors
• Temperature sensors
• SCR catalyst
The DEF injection system and SCR catalyst enable the achievement of diesel
emissions requirements; while maintaining outstanding fuel economy, drivability,
torque and power ratings.
NOTE:
• Your vehicle is equipped with a DEF injection system. You may occasionally hear
an audible clicking noise. This is normal operation.
• The DEF pump will run for a period of time after engine shutdown to purge the DEF
system. This is normal operation.
Adding Diesel Exhaust Fluid
The DEF gauge (located in the EVIC) will display the level of DEF remaining in the tank.
Completely fill the DEF tank through the diesel exhaust fluid fill location (located
behind the fuel door) at every maintenance interval or before if prompted by the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
NOTE:
• The gauge may take up to five seconds
to update after adding a gallon or more
of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to the
DEF tank. If you have a fault related to
the DEF system, the gauge may not
update to the new level. See your au-
thorized dealer for service.
• The DEF gauge may also not immedi-
ately update after a refill if the tem-
perature of the DEF fluid is below 12°F
(-11°C). The DEF line heater will pos-
sibly warm up the DEF fluid and allow
the gauge to update after a period of
run time. Under very cold conditions, it is possible that the gauge may not reflect
the new fill level for several drives.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is
the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low EVIC display.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue each time the vehicle is restarted as long as
the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to
ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue
to function properly.
NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air
temperature change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage,
especially in the Winter. Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the
outside temperature is 32°F (0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be
increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this
outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your
vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermar-
ket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or
balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors
may result.
- Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, this light will turn on
for four to eight seconds as a bulb check. During the bulb check, if the driver's seat
belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound. After the bulb check or when driving, if the
driver or front passenger seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Indicator Light
will flash or remain on continuously. Refer to “Seat Belts” in “Getting Started” of this
user guide for further information.
