Stopping
1. Place the shift lever in PARK.
2. Push the ENGINE START/STOP button once. The ignition switch will return to the
OFF position.
NOTE:
If the shift lever is not in PARK, the ENGINE START/STOP button must be held for two
seconds and vehicle speed must be above 5 MPH (8 km/h) before the engine will shut
off.
RUN Position With Engine Off
NOTE:
The following functions are with the driver’s foot OFF the Brake Pedal (Transmission
in PARK or NEUTRAL Position).
Starting With The Ignition Switch In The OFF Position:
1. Push the ENGINE START/STOP button once to change the ignition switch to the
RUN position.
2. Push the ENGINE START/STOP button a second time to return the ignition switch
to the OFF position.
NOTE:
If the ignition switch is left in the RUN (engine not running) position and the
transmission is in PARK, the system will automatically time out after 30 minutes of
inactivity and the ignition will switch to the OFF position.
In case the ignition switch does not change with the push of a button, the RKE
transmitter (Key Fob) may have a low or dead battery. In this situation, a back up
method can be used to operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side (side opposite
of the emergency key) of the Key Fob against the ENGINE START/STOP button and
push to operate the ignition switch.
SEAT BELT SYSTEMS
Lap/Shoulder Belts
• All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with lap/shoulder belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt so that it is snug and lies low across your hips, below your
abdomen. To remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. To
loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A
snug seat belt reduces the risk of sliding under the seat belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt across the shoulder and chest with minimal, if any slack
so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw
any slack in the shoulder belt.

WARNING!
• Never use the PARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply
the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
• When leaving the vehicle, always make sure the keyless ignition node is in the
“STOP/OFF” mode, remove the Key Fob from the vehicle and lock the vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever.
• Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children, and do not leave a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™in the
MAR/RUN mode. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move
the vehicle.
• Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving; failure to do so can
lead to brake failure and a collision.
• Always fully apply the parking brake when leaving your vehicle, or it may roll
and cause damage or injury. Also be certain to leave the transmission in PARK.
Failure to do so may allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM)
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located
inside the 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.
When the vehicle is started, the BSM warning light will momentarily illuminate in
both outside rear view mirrors to let the driver know that the system is operational.
The BSM system sensors operate when the vehicle is in any forward gear or REVERSE
and enters stand-by mode when the vehicle is in PARK.
The BSM detection zone covers approximately one lane width on both sides of the
vehicle, 10 ft (3 m). The zone length starts at the outside mirror and extends
approximately 20 ft (6 m) beyond the rear bumper of the vehicle. The BSM system
monitors the detection zones on both sides of the vehicle when the vehicle speed
reaches approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and will alert the driver of vehicles
in these areas.

• Changing the Active Braking to “Off” prevents the system from providing limited
active braking, or additional brake support if the driver is not braking adequately
in the event of a potential frontal collision, but maintains the audible and visual
warnings.
• Changing the status of the system is only possible with the vehicle at a complete
stop.
NOTE:
The FCW system state is not kept in memory from one key cycle to the next. If the
system is turned OFF, it will turn On when the vehicle is restarted.
Changing FCW And Active Braking Status
By changing the settings on the menu of the Uconnect®system, you can change the
sensitivity of the system by choosing one of the following three options: "Near",
"Medium" or "Far".
The default option is "Medium". This setting provides that the system notify the driver
of a possible accident with the vehicle ahead of it when the latter is at a standard
distance, intermediate between the other two possible settings.
By setting the sensitivity of the system to "Far", the system will warn the driver of a
possible accident with the vehicle in front when the latter is at a greater distance,
giving you the chance to act on the brakes in a more limited and gradual. This setting
gives the driver the maximum possible time of reaction to prevent a possible
accident.
By changing the option to "Near", the system will warn the driver of a possible
accident with the vehicle ahead of it when the latter is a reduced distance. This
setting offers a reaction time to the driver lower than the settings "Medium" and "Far",
in the case of a potential accident, while a more dynamic driving of the car.
The setting of the sensitivity of the system is maintained in memory when the engine
is switched off.
FCW Limited Warning
If the EVIC/DID displays “FCW Limited Functionality” or “FCW Limited Functionality
Clean Front Windshield” momentarily, there may be a condition that limits FCW
functionality. Although the vehicle is still drivable under normal conditions, the
active braking may not be fully available. Once the condition that limited the system
performance is no longer present, the system will return to its full performance state.
If the problem persists, see your authorized dealer.
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the EVIC/DID displays:
• FCW Unavailable Service Required
This indicates there is an internal system fault. Although the vehicle is still drivable
under normal conditions, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.

Enabling And Disabling ParkSense®
ParkSense®can be enabled and disabled with the ParkSense®switch.
When the ParkSense®switch is pressed to disable the system, the instrument cluster
will display the “PARKSENSE OFF” message for approximately five seconds. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” or “Driver Information Display (DID)”
in “Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” in your owner’s manual on the DVD for
further information. When the shift lever is moved to REVERSE and the system is
disabled, the EVIC/DID will display the “PARKSENSE OFF” message for as long as
the vehicle is in REVERSE.
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 requires service, the ParkSense®switch LED will
blink momentarily, and then the LED will be ON.
ParkSense will remember the previous state when the vehicle is switch off.
CAUTION!
After turning off the ignition, the ParkSense®remains in this setting until the next
key cycle, even in the case of changing the setting of starting MAR/RUN to
STOP/OFF and then again in MAR/RUN.
Service The ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System
During vehicle start up, when the ParkSense®Rear Park Assist System has detected
a faulted condition, the instrument cluster will actuate a single chime, once per
ignition cycle, and it will display the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR
SENSORS” or the “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED” message.
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or Driver Information Display
(DID)” in your owner’s manual on the DVD for further information. When the shift
lever is moved to REVERSE and the system has detected a faulted condition, the
EVIC/DID will display the "PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS" or
"PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED" message for as long as the
vehicle is in REVERSE. Under this condition, ParkSense®will not operate.
If “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS” appears in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID) make sure the
outer surface and the underside of the rear fascia/bumper is clean and clear of snow,
ice, mud, dirt or other obstructions and then cycle the ignition. If the message
continues to appear, see an authorized dealer.
If “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED” appears in the EVIC/DID, see
an authorized dealer.
