TABLE OF CONTENTS

WARNING!
• When leaving the vehicle, always make sure the keyless ignition node is in
“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 transmission gear
selector.
• Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to
children), and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go™ in the ON/RUN mode. A child could operate power windows,
other controls, or move the vehicle.
REMOTE START
This system uses the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter to start the engine
conveniently from outside the vehicle while still maintaining security. The system has
a range of at least 300 ft (91 m).
The Remote Starting System also activates the Climate Control and (if equipped) the
optional heated seats and optional heated steering wheel depending on temperatures
outside and inside the car.
• Push REMOTE START buttonx2on the Key Fob twice within five seconds.
Pushing the REMOTE START button a third time shuts the engine off.
• To drive the vehicle, push UNLOCK button, insert the key in the ignition and turn
to the MAR/RUN position.
• With Remote Start, the engine will only run for 15 minutes (timeout) unless the
ignition key is placed in the MAR/RUN position.
• The vehicle must be started with the key after two consecutive timeouts.
NOTE:
The Remote Start Comfort System can be activated and deactivated through the
Uconnect®Settings. Refer to “Uconnect®Programmable Features” in “Electronics”
for more information on Remote Start Comfort System operation.
WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
Monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious injury or death when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or
death.

Seat Belt Pretensioner
• The front seat belt system is equipped with pretensioning devices that are
designed to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.
• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.
WARNING!
• In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you
are not properly buckled up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and
others in your vehicle are buckled up properly.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a
collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear
your shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.
• A seat belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop, you
could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat
belt snugly.
• A frayed or torn seat belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the seat belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays,
or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disas-
semble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a
collision.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR
BAGS
Air Bag System Components
Your vehicle may be equipped with the following air bag system components:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
• Air Bag Warning Light
• Steering Wheel and Column
• Instrument Panel
• Knee Impact Bolsters
• Advanced Front Air Bags
• Supplemental Side Air Bags
• Supplemental Knee Air Bags
• Front and Side Impact Sensors
• Seat Belt Pretenioners
• Seat Belt Buckle Switch
• Seat Track Position Sensors
GETTING STARTED

• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in
another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
• If it is necessary to modify the air bag system for persons with disabilities, contact
your authorized dealer.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD regarding the Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) for further information.
Supplemental Knee Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the
instrument panel below the steering column. The Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag
provides enhanced protection during a frontal impact by working together with the
seat belts, pretensioners, and Advanced Front Air Bags.
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some
collisions, the air bags won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even
though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced
Front Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags
need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the
steering wheel or instrument panel.
• No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instrument panel
or steering wheel because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is
in a collision severe enough to cause the air bag to inflate.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs)
located in the outboard side of the front seats. The SABs are marked with a SRS
AIRBAG or AIRBAG label sewn into the outboard side of the seats.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains
(SABICs) located above the side windows. The trim covering the SABICs is labeled
SRS AIRBAG or AIRBAG. The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or
complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side windows in certain side
impact events.
• The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air Bags”) are designed to activate in certain side
impacts and certain rollover events. The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”)
determines whether the deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular side
impact or rollover event is appropriate, based on the severity and type of collision.
Vehicle damage by itself is not a good indicator of whether or not Side Air Bags
should have deployed.

Seatback Repositioning
NOTE:
If interference from the cargo area prevents the seatback from fully locking, you will
have difficulty returning the seat to its proper position.
1. Move the safety belts to the seat belt guides on the top edge of the seat to ensure
the seatbacks properly latch.
2. Lift the seatbacks, pushing them back until they lock on both the latches. Verify
the red notches are no longer visible on the release lever. If the red notches are
visible, the seatback is not secure.
Unfolding The Rear Armrest 40/20/40
Tilt the head restraint forward and pull the rear armrest tab to release it from the seat
and pull forward.
The center part of the rear seat can also be used as rear armrest with cupholders.
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position the seat will not provide the proper stability for child
seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause serious injury.
HEATED STEERING WHEEL
The steering wheel contains a heating element that helps warm your hands in cold
weather. The heated steering wheel has only one temperature setting. Once the
heated steering wheel switchhas been turned on, it will operate for up to 80
minutes before automatically shutting off. The heated steering wheel can shut off
early or may not turn on when the steering wheel is already warm. The heated steering
wheel control button is located on the center of the instrument panel below the radio
screen.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age,
chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion, or other physical conditions must exercise care when using the steering
wheel heater. It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used
for long periods.
• Do not place anything on the steering wheel that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or steering wheel covers of any type and material. This may cause
the steering wheel heater to overheat.

TILT/TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN
This feature allows you to tilt the steering column upward or downward. It also allows
you to lengthen or shorten the steering column. The tilt/telescoping lever is located
below the steering wheel at the end of the steering column.
To unlock the steering column, push the
tilt/telescoping lever downward (toward
the floor). To tilt the steering column,
move the steering wheel upward or down-
ward as desired. To lengthen or shorten
the steering column, pull the steering
wheel outward or push it inward as de-
sired.
To lock the steering column in position,
pull the tilt/telescoping lever upward un-
til fully engaged.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while driving. Adjusting the steering column
while driving or driving with the steering column unlocked, could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious
injury or death.

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
When engaged, the Electronic Speed Control takes over accelerator operations at
speeds greater than 25 mph (40 km/h).
The Electronic Speed Control buttons are located on the right side of the steering
wheel.
NOTE:
• In order to ensure proper operation,
the Electronic Speed Control System
has been designed to shut down if
multiple Speed Control functions are
operated at the same time. If this oc-
curs, the Electronic Speed Control
System can be reactivated by pushing
the Electronic Speed Control ON/OFF
button and resetting the desired ve-
hicle set speed.
• The Electronic Speed Control function
will not work in 4WD Low Range.
To A c t i v a t e
Push the ON/OFF button to activate the
Electronic Speed Control. The Cruise In-
dicator Light in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC) or Driver Infor-
mation Display (DID) will illuminate. To
turn the system off, push the ON/OFF button a second time. The Cruise Indicator
Light will turn off. The system should be turned off when not in use.
WARNING!
Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system on when not in use is dangerous. You
could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want. You could
lose control and have an accident. Always leave the system OFF when you are not
using it.

Small Vehicles And/Or Not Aligned To The Lane
The system is not able to detect the presence of vehicles that are in front of the car
but placed outside the field of action of the radar sensor and could therefore not react
in the presence of small vehicles such as bicycles or motorcycles.
Lane Changing Of Other Vehicles
Vehicles that suddenly change lane, while standing in the traffic lane of their car and
inside the field of action of the radar sensor may cause the intervention of the system.
Passing Of Vehicles In An Oncoming Intersection
The system could temporarily react to a vehicle that crossed the range of the radar
sensor, in an oncoming intersection.
LANESENSE
LaneSense Operation
The LaneSense system is operational at speeds above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below
112 mph (180 km/h). The LaneSense system uses a forward looking camera to
detect lane markings and measure vehicle position within the lane boundaries.
When both lane markings are detected and the driver unintentionally drifts out of the
lane (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a haptic warning in the
form of torque applied to the steering wheel to prompt the driver to remain within the
lane boundaries. If the driver continues to unintentionally drift out of the lane, the
LaneSense system provides a visual warning through the Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID) to prompt the driver to remain
within the lane boundaries.
The driver may manually override the haptic warning by applying torque into the
steering wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected and the driver unintentionally drifts
across the lane marking (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a
visual warning through the EVIC/DID to prompt the driver to remain within the lane.
When only a single lane marking is detected, a haptic (torque) warning will not be
provided.
NOTE:
When operating conditions have been met, the LaneSense system will monitor if the
driver’s hands are on the steering wheel and provides an audible warning to the driver
when the driver’s hands are not detected on the steering wheel. The system will
cancel if the driver does not return their hands to the wheel.
