Advanced Front Air Bags
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger
as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The Advanced Front Air Bags
will not deploy in every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts. Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce
the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
• The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including
some that may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole
collisions, truck underrides, and angle offset collisions.
• On the other hand, depending on the type and location of impact, Advanced Front
Air Bags may deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but that
produce a severe initial deceleration.
• Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed
and damage by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag
should have deployed.
• Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all collisions, and also are needed
to help keep you in position, away from an inflating air bag.
• The air bags must be ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. The
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the internal circuits and intercon-
necting wiring associated with air bag system electrical components.
• The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel for
approximately four to eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition switch is
first turned to the ON/RUN position. After the self-check, the Air Bag Warning
Light will turn off. If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it
turns on the Air Bag Warning Light, either momentarily or continuously. A single
chime will sound to alert you if the light comes on again after initial startup.
• The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the air bag system
whenever the ignition switch is in the START or ON/RUN position. If the ignition
switch is in the OFF position or in the ACC position, the air bag system is not on
and the air bags will not inflate.
• If the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel is not on during the four to
eight seconds when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position,
stays on, or turns on while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized
service center immediately.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine related gauges are not working, the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. In this condition the air
bags may not be ready to inflate for your protection. Have an authorized dealer
service the air bag system immediately.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immedi-
ately.

Front Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with front driver and passenger head restraints.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head restraint. To lower the head
restraint, push the adjustment button, located at the base of the head restraint, and
push downward on the head restraint.
NOTE:
The head restraints should only be removed by qualified technicians, for service
purposes only. If either of the head restraints require removal, see your authorized
dealer.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occupants must be properly adjusted prior to operating
the vehicle or occupying a seat. Head restraints should never be adjusted while the
vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head restraints improperly adjusted
or removed could cause serious injury or death in the event of a collision.
Rear Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with 2 outboard head restraints and 1 center head restraint
for its rear passengers. The rear head restraints can be raised or lowered. When the
center seat is being occupied, the head restraint should be in the raised position.
When there are no occupants in the center seat, the head restraint can be lowered for
maximum visibility for the driver.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head restraint.
To lower the head restraint, push the adjustment button, located at the base of the
head restraint, and push downward on the head restraint.
NOTE:
The head restraints should only be removed by qualified technicians, for service
purposes only. If either of the head restraints require removal, see your authorized
dealer.

To apply the park brake manually, pull up on the switch momentarily. The BRAKE
warning lamp in the instrument cluster and an indicator on the switch will illuminate.
To release the park brake manually, the ignition switch must be in RUN. Then put
your foot on the brake pedal and push the park brake switch down momentarily. Once
the park brake is fully disengaged, the BRAKE warning lamp and the switch indicator
will extinguish.
The park brake can also be automatically released. With the engine running and the
transmission in gear, release the brake pedal and depress the throttle pedal. For
safety reasons, your seat belt must also be fastened.
NOTE:
• You may hear a slight whirring sound from the back of the vehicle while the parking
brake engages or disengages.
• If your foot is on the brake pedal while you are engaging or disengaging the parking
brake, you may notice a small amount of brake pedal movement.
• The new Auto Park Brake feature can be used to apply the park brake automati-
cally every time you park the vehicle. Auto Park Brake can be enabled and disabled
in the Settings menu in Uconnect®or in “Safe Hold” conditions.
• The parking brake can be engaged even when the ignition switch is OFF, however,
it can only be disengaged when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position.
• Safehold is a new feature that will automatically apply the park brake under
certain conditions. The EPB monitors the status of the driver’s seat belt, driver’s
door and pedal positions to determine if the driver may have exited while the
vehicle is still capable of moving and will then automatically apply the park brake
to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
• The EPB fault lamp will illuminate if the EPB switch is held for longer than 20
seconds in either the released or applied position. The light will extinguish upon
releasing the switch.
• Refer to the Starting and Operating section of your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual on
the DVD for further details.
CAUTION!
If the Brake System Warning Light remains on with the parking brake released, a
brake system malfunction is indicated. Have the brake system serviced by an
authorized dealer immediately.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
46

NOTE:
• The BSM system does NOT alert the driver about rapidly approaching vehicles that
are outside the detection zones.
• The BSM system detection zone DOES NOT change if your vehicle is towing a
trailer. Therefore, visually verify the adjacent lane is clear for both your vehicle and
trailer before making a lane change. If the trailer or other object (i.e., bicycle,
sports equipment) extends beyond the side of your vehicle, this may result in the
BSM warning light remaining illuminated the entire time the vehicle is in a forward
gear. It may be necessary to deactivate BSM system manually by related menu to
avoid a miss-detection.
The area on the rear fascia where the radar sensors are located must remain free of
snow, ice, and dirt/road contamination so that the BSM system can function properly.
Do not block the radar sensors located on the rear fascia with foreign objects (bumper
stickers, bicycle racks, etc.).
The BSM system notifies the driver of objects in the detection zones by illuminating
the BSM warning light located in the outside mirrors in addition to sounding an
audible (chime) alert and reducing the radio volume.
The BSM system monitors the detection zone from three different entry points (side,
rear, front) while driving to see if an alert is necessary. The BSM system will issue an
alert during these types of zone entries.
Entering From The Side
Vehicles that move into your adjacent lanes from either side of the vehicle.
Entering From The Rear
Vehicles that come up from behind your vehicle on either side and enter the rear
detection zone with a relative speed of less than 31 mph (50 km/h).
Overtaking Traffic
If you pass another vehicle slowly with a relative speed less than 15 mph (25 km/h)
and the vehicle remains in the blind spot for approximately 1.5 seconds, the warning
light will be illuminated. If the difference in speed between the two vehicles is
greater than 15 mph (25 km/h), the warning light will not illuminate.
The BSM system is designed not to issue an alert on stationary objects such as
guardrails, posts, walls, foliage, berms, etc. However, occasionally the system may
alert on such objects. This is normal operation and your vehicle does not require
service.
The BSM system will not alert you of objects that are traveling in the opposite
direction of the vehicle in adjacent lanes.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

System Not Available
In the case of the system being temporary unavailable:
• BSM Mirror Warning Lights are turned on continuously.
• A chime will turn on.
• A instrument cluster message will display“Blind Spot Monitoring Temporary
Unavailable.”
In the case of the system being completely unavailable:
• A chime will turn on.
• A instrument cluster message will display“Blind Spot Monitoring Unavailable -
Service Required.”
NOTE:
Vehicle must be taken to the nearest authorized dealer for service.
FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) WITH
MITIGATION
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) With Mitigation Operation
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system with mitigation provides the driver with
audible warnings, visual warnings (within the EVIC/DID), 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 colli-
sion. 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.
Vehicles With A Manual Transmission: After the end of the intervention of automatic
braking, the engine could stall, unless the driver can depress the clutch pedal.
Vehicles With Automatic Transmission: After the end of the intervention of automatic
braking, the transmission may remain in last gear stored: therefore the car could
lurch forward, once the brakes release a few seconds later.

• 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.
