WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for
active driving involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of
road, traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead;
and, most importantly, brake operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle
under all road conditions. Your complete attention is always required while driving
to maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result
in a collision and death or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g.,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 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 2 seconds in the stop position. If the target vehicle does not
start moving within two seconds the ACC system will display a message that the
system will release the brakes and that the brakes must be applied manually.
An audible chime will sound when the brakes are released.
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.
• When towing a trailer up or down steep slopes.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.
The Cruise Control system has two control modes:
• Adaptive Cruise Control mode for maintaining an appropriate distance between
vehicles.
• Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed control mode for cruising at a constant
preset speed. For additional information, refer to “Normal (Fixed Speed)
Cruise Control Mode” in this section.
Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed control will not react to preceding vehicles.
Always be aware of the mode selected.
You can change the mode by using the Cruise Control buttons. The two control
modes function differently. Always confirm which mode is selected.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW)
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the driver with audible
warnings and visual warnings within the Driver Information Display (DID), to warn the
driver when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings 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.
Turning FCW ON Or OFF
The forward collision button is located in the Uconnect display in the controls
settings.
• To turn the FCW system OFF, press the forward collision button once to turn thesystem OFF.
• To turn the FCW system back ON, press the forward collision button again to turn the system ON.
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.
• Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the system from warning you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you. If FCW is set to “Off”, “FCW
OFF” will be displayed in the Driver Information Display (DID).
Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature has three settings and can be changed within the Uconnect System
Screen:
• Far
• Medium
• Near
Far
The far setting provides warnings for potential collisions more distant in front of the
vehicle, allowing the driver to have the most reaction time to avoid a collision.
More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
This setting gives you the most reaction time.

TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR
Your vehicle is equipped with a fuel efficient 8 speed transmission. The gear selector
is located in the center console.
The transmission gear selector has
PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE,
and MANUAL (AutoStick) shift positions.
Manual shifts can be made using the
AutoStick shift control (refer to
“AutoStick” in this section for further
information). Toggling the shift lever for-
ward (-) or rearward (+) while in the
MANUAL (AutoStick) position (beside
the DRIVE position), or tapping the shift
paddles (+/-), will manually select the
transmission gear, and will display the
current gear in the instrument cluster.
NOTE:
If the gear selector cannot be moved to
the PARK, REVERSE, or NEUTRAL posi-
tion (when pushed forward), it is probably
in the AutoStick (+/-) position (beside the
DRIVE position). In AutoStick mode, the
transmission gear (1, 2, 3, etc.) is displayed in the instrument cluster. Move the gear
selector to the right (into the DRIVE [D] position) for access to PARK, REVERSE, and
NEUTRAL.

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, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall vehicle
performance. This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city
driving, cold slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer towing, and many other
situations.
Operation
To activate AutoStick mode, move the
gear selector into the MANUAL (M) posi-
tion (beside the DRIVE position), or tap
one of the shift paddles on the steering
wheel. Tapping the (-) shift paddle to
enter AutoStick mode will downshift the
transmission to the next lower gear, while
tapping (+) to enter AutoStick mode will retain the current gear. The current
transmission gear will be displayed in the instrument cluster. In AutoStick mode, you
can use the gear selector (in the MANUAL position), or the shift paddles, to manually
shift the transmission. Tapping the gear selector forward (-) while in the MANUAL (M)
position, or tapping the (-) shift paddle on the steering wheel, will downshift the
transmission to the next lower gear. Tapping the lever rearward (+) (or tapping the (+)
shift paddle) will command an upshift.
NOTE:
The shift paddles may be disabled (or re-enabled, as desired) using the Uconnect
Personal Settings.
In AutoStick mode, the transmission will shift up or down when (+/-) is manually
selected by the driver (using the gear selector, or the shift paddles), unless an engine
lugging or overspeed condition would result. It will remain in the selected gear until
another upshift or downshift is chosen, except as described below.
• The transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows (to preventengine lugging) and will display the current gear.
• The transmission will automatically downshift to first gear when coming to a stop. After a stop, the driver should manually upshift (+) the transmission as the vehicle
is accelerated.
• You can start out, from a stop, in first or second gear (or third gear, in 4LO range, Snow mode, or Sand mode). Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting in second
gear. Starting out in second gear can be helpful in snowy or icy conditions.
• If a requested downshift would cause the engine to over-speed, that shift will not occur.
• The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too low of a vehicle speed.

ParkSense can be enabled and disabled by pushing the ParkSense switch located
below the climate controls, on the switch panel.
The four ParkSense sensors, located in the rear fascia/bumper, monitor the area
behind the vehicle that is within the sensors field of view. The sensors can detect
obstacles from approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 79 inches (200 cm) from the
rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal direction, depending on the location, type and
orientation of the obstacle.
The six ParkSense sensors, located in the front fascia/bumper, monitor the area in
front of the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view. The sensors can detect
obstacles from approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 47 inches (120 cm) from the
front fascia/bumper in the horizontal direction, depending on the location, type and
orientation of the obstacle.
When an object is detected within 79 inches (200 cm) behind the rear bumper while
the vehicle is in REVERSE, a warning will display in the Driver Information Display
(DID). In addition a chime will sound (when Sound and Display is selected from the
Customer Programmable Features section of the Uconnect System screen). As the

Parksense Rear Park Assist — If Equipped
The ParkSense Rear Park Assist system provides visual and audible indications of the
distance between the rear fascia and a detected obstacle when backing up, e.g.
during a parking maneuver. If your vehicle is equipped with this feature, the vehicle
brakes may be automatically applied and released when performing a reverse parking
maneuver if the system detects a possible collision with an obstacle.
The automatic braking function can be enabled/disabled from the Customer-
Programmable Features section of the Uconnect System.
ParkSense can be active only when the gear selector is in REVERSE. If ParkSense is
enabled at this gear selector position, the system will remain active until the vehicle
speed is increased to approximately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above. When in REVERSE
and above the system's operating speed, a warning will appear within the Driver
Information Display (DID) indicating the vehicle speed is too fast. The system will
become active again if the vehicle speed is decreased to speeds less than approxi-
mately 6 mph (9 km/h).
Cleaning The ParkSense Sensors
If “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS" or "PARKSENSE UNAVAIL-
ABLE WIPE FRONT SENSORS” appears in the “Driver Information Display (DID),”
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.
PARKVIEW REAR BACK-UP CAMERA
You can see an on-screen image of the rear of your vehicle whenever the transmission
is shifted 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 rear
of the vehicle above the rear license plate.
