122STARTING AND OPERATING
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
(B
ELOW –22°F OR −30°C)
To ensure reliable starting at these temperatures, use of
an externally powered electric engine block heater
(available from an authorized dealer) is recommended.
AFTER STARTING
The idle speed is controlled automatically, and it will
decrease as the engine warms up.
TURBOCHARGER “COOL DOWN” —
3.0L E
NGINE ONLY
The 3.0L engine is equipped with an after-run pump to
cool the turbocharger after the engine is shut off.
Depending on the type of driving and the amount of cargo,
the pump will run for up to 20 minutes after the engine
has been shut off to circulate coolant through the
turbocharger. Although the pump is rubber-mounted for
quiet operation, it is normal to hear it running during this
time.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF EQUIPPED
The engine block heater warms the engine, and permits
quicker starts in cold weather. Connect the cord to a
standard 110-115 Volt AC electrical outlet with a
grounded, three-wire extension cord.
The engine block heater must be plugged in at least one
hour to have an adequate warming effect on the engine. The engine block heater cord is coiled and strapped right
behind the engine air cleaner filter assembly from the
manufacturer.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
An initial break-in period is recommended for the
powertrain (engine, transmission, axle, etc.) in your
vehicle. Adhering to the following guidelines will contribute
to improved longevity, fuel economy, and performance.
Drive moderately during the first 100 miles (160 km).
After that, for the first 500 miles (800 km), avoid long
periods at constant speed. Varying speed, engine RPM,
and throttle position is desirable.
Avoid high performance, severe off-road, and towing for
the first 500 miles (800 km).
NOTE:A new engine may consume some oil during its first few
thousand miles (km) of operation. This should be
considered a normal part of the break-in and not inter -
preted as a problem. For engines not equipped with an oil
level sensor, please check your oil level frequently during
the break-in period. Add manufacturer-approved oil as
required
Úpage 376.
PARKING BRAKE
ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE (EPB)
Your vehicle is equipped with an EPB that offers simple
operation, and some additional features that make the
parking brake more convenient and useful.
The parking brake is primarily intended to prevent the
vehicle from rolling while parked. Before leaving the
vehicle, make sure that the parking brake is applied. Also,
be certain to leave the transmission in PARK.
You can engage the parking brake in two ways:
 Manually, by applying the EPB switch.
 Automatically, by enabling the Auto Park Brake feature
in the customer programmable features section of the
Uconnect settings.
WARNING!
Remember to disconnect the engine block heater cord
before driving. Damage to the 110-115 Volt electrical
cord could cause electrocution.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in
the engine or damage may result. ONLY USE OILS THAT
ARE API APPROVED
Úpage 376.

STARTING AND OPERATING139
(Continued)
USING CRUISE CONTROL ON HILLS
The transmission may downshift on hills to maintain the
vehicle set speed.
The Cruise Control system maintains speed up and down
hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so it
may be preferable to drive without Cruise Control.
To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, push the RES button
and release. Resume can be used at any speed above
20 mph (32 km/h).
To Deactivate
A tap on the brake pedal, pushing the CANC button, or
normal brake pressure while slowing the vehicle will
deactivate the Cruise Control system without erasing the
set speed from memory. The following conditions will also deactivate the Cruise
Control without erasing the set speed from memory:

Vehicle parking brake is applied
 Stability event occurs
 Gear selector is moved out of DRIVE
 Engine overspeed occurs
Pushing the on/off button or placing the ignition in the OFF
position, will also erase the set speed from memory.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the driving
convenience provided by Cruise Control while traveling on
highways and major roadways. However, it is not a safety
system and not designed to prevent collisions. The Cruise
Control function performs differently
Úpage 138.
ACC will allow you to keep Cruise Control engaged in light
to moderate traffic conditions without the constant need
to reset your Cruise Control. ACC utilizes a radar sensor
and a forward facing camera designed to detect a vehicle
directly ahead of you.
NOTE:
 If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will
apply limited braking or acceleration (not to exceed the
original set speed) automatically to maintain a preset
following distance, while matching the speed of the
vehicle ahead. 
Any chassis/suspension or tire size modifications to
the vehicle will affect the performance of the Adaptive
Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning system.
 In vehicles NOT equipped with the Active Driving Assist
system, Fixed Speed Cruise Control (ACC not enabled)
will not detect vehicles directly ahead of you. Always be
aware of the feature selected
Úpage 382.
WARNING!
Cruise Control can be dangerous where the system
cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could
go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose control
and have an accident. Do not use Cruise Control in
heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered or slippery.
WARNING!
 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience
system. It is not a substitute for active driver involve -
ment. 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 colli -
sion and death or serious personal injury.
 The ACC system:
 Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehi -
cles, and stationary objects (e.g., a stopped
vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
 Cannot take street, traffic, and weather condi -
tions into account, and may be limited upon
adverse sight distance conditions.
4

23_WS_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 139

STARTING AND OPERATING143
Setting The Following Distance In ACC
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 appears in the instrument cluster display.

Distance Settings

To increase the distance setting, push the Distance
Increase button and release. Each time the button is
pushed, the distance setting increases by one bar (longer). To decrease the distance setting, push the Distance
Decrease button and release. Each time the button is
pushed, the distance setting decreases by one bar
(shorter).
If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle will maintain the
set speed. If a slower moving vehicle is detected in the
same lane, the instrument cluster display will show the
ACC Set With Target Detected Indicator Light, and the
system will adjust the vehicle speed automatically to
maintain the distance setting, regardless of the set speed.
The vehicle will then maintain the set distance until:

The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed above the
set speed.
 The vehicle ahead moves out of your lane or view of the
sensor.
 The distance setting is changed.
 The system disengages
Úpage 141.
The maximum braking applied by ACC is limited; however,
the driver can always apply the brakes manually, if
necessary.
NOTE:The brake lights will illuminate whenever the ACC system
applies the brakes. A Proximity Warning will alert the driver if ACC predicts that
its maximum braking level is not sufficient to maintain the
set distance. If this occurs, a visual alert “BRAKE!” will
flash in the instrument cluster display and a chime will
sound while ACC continues to apply its maximum braking
capacity.
NOTE:The “BRAKE!” screen in the instrument cluster display is a
warning for the driver to take action and does not neces
-
sarily mean that the Forward Collision Warning system is
applying the brakes autonomously.
Overtake Aid
When driving with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) engaged
and following a vehicle, the system will provide an
additional acceleration up to the ACC set speed to assist
in passing the vehicle. This additional acceleration is
triggered when the driver utilizes the left turn signal and
will only be active when passing on the left side.
ACC Operation At Stop
If the ACC system brings your vehicle to a standstill while
following a vehicle ahead, your vehicle will resume motion,
without any driver interaction, if the vehicle ahead starts
moving within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill.
If the vehicle in front does not start moving within two
seconds of your vehicle coming to a standstill, the driver
will either have to push the RES (resume) button, or apply
the accelerator pedal to reengage the ACC to the existing
set speed.
1 — Longest Distance Setting (Four Bars)
2 — Medium Distance Setting (Two Bars)
3 — Long Distance Setting (Three Bars)
4 — Short Distance Setting (One Bar)

23_WS_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 143

144STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:
If your vehicle is at a standstill for longer than two
seconds, the system will hold brake pressure for up to
10 minutes. If no driver action is taken after the
10 minutes, the Electric Park Brake will be applied and
the ACC system will cancel.
 While ACC is holding your vehicle at a standstill (or the
vehicle is traveling below 3 mph (5 km/h), and the
driver seat belt is unbuckled or the driver door is
opened, the Electric Park Brake will be applied and the
ACC system will cancel.
Display Warnings And Maintenance
“WIPE FRONT RADAR SENSOR IN FRONT OF
VEHICLE” WARNING
The “ACC Unavailable Wipe Front Radar Sensor” warning
will display and a chime will sound when conditions
temporarily limit system performance.
This most often occurs at times of poor visibility, such as
in snow or heavy rain. The ACC system may also become
temporarily blinded due to obstructions, such as mud, dirt
or ice. In these cases, the instrument cluster display will
display this message and the system will deactivate. This message can sometimes be displayed while driving in
highly reflective areas (i.e. ice and snow, or tunnels with
reflective tiles). The ACC system will recover after the
vehicle has left these areas. Under rare conditions, when
the radar is not tracking any vehicles or objects in its path
this warning may temporarily occur.
NOTE:If the “ACC Unavailable Wipe Front Radar Sensor” warning
is active, Fixed Speed Cruise Control is still available.
If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver should
examine the sensor. It may require cleaning or removal of
an obstruction. The sensor is located in the center of the
vehicle behind the lower grille.
To keep the ACC System operating properly, it is important
to note the following maintenance items:

Always keep the sensor clean. Carefully wipe the
sensor lens with a soft cloth. Be cautious not to
damage the sensor lens.
 Do not remove any screws from the sensor. Doing so
could cause an ACC system malfunction or failure and
require a sensor realignment.
 If the sensor or front end of the vehicle is damaged due
to a collision, see your authorized dealer for service.
 Do not attach or install any accessories near the
sensor, including transparent material or aftermarket
grilles. Doing so could cause an ACC system failure or
malfunction. When the condition that deactivated the system is no
longer present, the system will return to the “Adaptive
Cruise Control Off” state and will resume function by
simply reactivating it.
NOTE:

If the “ACC Unavailable Wipe Front Radar Sensor”
message occurs frequently (e.g. more than once on
every trip) without any snow, rain, mud, or other
obstruction, have the radar sensor realigned at an
authorized dealer.
 Installing a snowplow, front-end protector, an after -
market grille or modifying the grille is not recom -
mended. Doing so may block the sensor and inhibit
ACC operation.
“CLEAN FRONT WINDSHIELD” WARNING
The “ACC Limited Functionality Clean Front Windshield”
warning will display, and a chime will sound when
conditions temporarily limit system performance. This
most often occurs at times of poor visibility, such as in
snow or heavy rain and fog. The ACC system may also
become temporarily blinded due to obstructions, such as
mud, dirt, or ice on windshield and fog on the inside of
glass. In these cases, the instrument cluster display will
read “ACC Limited Functionality Clean Front Windshield”
and the system will have degraded performance.
This message can sometimes be displayed while driving in
adverse weather conditions. The ACC system will recover
after the vehicle has left these areas. Under rare
conditions, when the camera is not tracking any vehicles
or objects in its path this warning may temporarily occur.
WARNING!
When the ACC system is resumed, the driver must
ensure that there are no pedestrians, vehicles or
objects in the path of the vehicle. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in a collision and death or serious
personal injury.

STARTING AND OPERATING149
(Continued)
Additionally, Hands-Free ADA will slow the vehicle down
when approaching and going through sharp curves.

Assisted Lane Change (Green Left Arrow)

Extended Auto Resume
If equipped with Hands-Free ADA and the system brings
your vehicle to a stop while following the vehicle ahead,
your vehicle will automatically resume driving without
driver input when the path in front of the vehicle is clear
and the driver is attentive. The path in front of the vehicle
is determined to be clear based on the forward facing
camera, front radars, and front ultrasonic sensors. If the vehicle in front does not start moving after
10 minutes, the Electric Park Brake (EPB) will be applied
and the system will cancel.
NOTE:

The Hands-Free Active Driving Assist system is only
available on approved compatible roadways and
requires an active subscription through the Uconnect
Connected Services package. If the ADA on/off button
is pushed without an active subscription, the instru -
ment cluster display will show the message “Active
Driving Assist Unavailable Update Subscription”. Refer
to the Uconnect Owner’s Manual Supplement for
further information.
 If previously disabled, activating the Hands-Free Active
Driving Assist system will also activate the Forward
Collision Warning and Pedestrian Emergency Braking
systems
Úpage 250.
 If the vehicle is equipped with the Uconnect Connected
Services package, additional data may be collected
through the Connected Services system. This includes
information about the vehicle’s operation, a collision
involving the vehicle, the use of the vehicle and its
features, and in certain situations, the location and
approximate GPS speed of the vehicle. Refer to the
Uconnect Owner’s Manual Supplement for Terms and
Conditions and Privacy Statements. 
The driver monitoring camera may record images of the
driver during certain crash, or near crash-like situa -
tions. To retrieve the images recorded by the camera,
special equipment is required and access to the
vehicle or the camera is needed.
 Vehicle data may be read from the Hands-Free ADA
system with special equipment and access to the
vehicle or the Event Data Recorder (EDR).WARNING!
The driver is always responsible for determining if a
lane change is safe. Failure to follow this warning can
result in a collision and death or serious personal
injury.
WARNING!
The Active Driving Assist (ADA) system is a convenience
system. It is not a substitute for active driver
involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be
attentive of road traffic, weather conditions, vehicle
speed, distance to the vehicle ahead, position in the
lane compared to other vehicles, and 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.
Some states and local laws may require hands to be
kept on the steering wheel at all times. For vehicles
equipped with the Hands-Free ADA system, ONLY
remove your hands from the steering wheel if the
Hands-Free system is engaged, it is safe to do so, and it
is permitted by state and local laws.4

 Driving near highway toll booths
NOTE:If damage to the windshield occurs, have the windshield
replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
WARNING!
Active Driving Assist is an SAE Level 2 Driver Assist
feature, requiring driver attention at all times. To
prevent serious injury or death:
Always remember that the Active Driving Assist
system is a convenience system that cannot accu -
rately detect all situations. Complete attention is
always required while driving, even when using the
Active Driving Assist system.
 Always remain alert and be ready to take control of
the vehicle in the event that the Active Driving Assist
system deactivates, or otherwise lacks full function -
ality as described further before and after this
statement.
 Always keep your hands on the steering wheel when
the Base Active Driving Assist system is activated.
 Always keep your eyes on the road when the
Hands-Free Active Driving Assist system is activated.
 Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and pay
attention to traffic conditions.

23_WS_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 153

154STARTING AND OPERATING
PARKSENSE FRONT/REAR PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM
The ParkSense Park Assist system provides visual and
audible indications of the distance between the rear and
the front fascia/bumper and a detected obstacle when
backing up or moving forward (e.g. during a parking
maneuver). 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.
NOTE:
The driver can disable the automatic braking function
by turning ParkSense off via the ParkSense switch. The
driver can also override automatic braking by changing
the gear or by pressing the gas pedal over 90% of its
capacity during the braking event.
 Automatic brakes are not available if the vehicle is in
4WD Low.
 Automatic brakes will not be available if there is a
faulted condition detected with the ParkSense Park
Assist system or the Braking System Module.
 The automatic braking function may only be applied if
the vehicle deceleration is not enough to avoid colliding
with a detected obstacle.
 The automatic braking function may not be applied fast
enough for obstacles that move toward the rear of the
vehicle from the left and/or right sides.
 The automatic braking function can be enabled/
disabled from the Customer Programmable Features
section of the Uconnect system. 
ParkSense will retain its last known configuration state
for the automatic braking function through ignition
cycles.
The automatic braking function is intended to assist the
driver in avoiding possible collisions with detected
obstacles when backing up in REVERSE gear.
NOTE:
 The system is designed to assist the driver and not to
substitute the driver.
 The driver must stay in full control of the vehicle's
acceleration and braking and is responsible for the
vehicle's movements.
For limitations of this system and recommendations, see
Úpage 159.
ParkSense will retain the last system state (enabled or
disabled) from the last ignition cycle when the ignition is
changed to the ON/RUN position.
ParkSense can be active only when the gear selector is in
REVERSE or DRIVE. If ParkSense is enabled at one of
these gear selector positions, the system will remain
active until the vehicle speed is increased to
approximately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above. The system will
become active again if the vehicle speed is decreased to
speeds less than approximately 6 mph (9 km/h). A display
warning will appear in the instrument cluster display if the
vehicle is in REVERSE and the speed exceeds 7 mph
(11 km/h).
PARKSENSE SENSORS
The four ParkSense sensors located in the rear fascia/
bumper, and the six ParkSense sensors located in the
front fascia/bumper, monitor the area in front and behind
the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view. The
front sensors detect obstacles from approximately
12 inches (30 cm) up to 47 inches (120 cm) from the front fascia/bumper. The rear sensors can detect obstacles
from approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 79 inches
(200 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper. These distances
depend on the location, type and orientation of the
obstacle in the horizontal direction.
NOTE:If the vehicle is equipped with ParkSense Active Park
Assist, there will be six ParkSense sensors located in the
rear fascia/bumper.
PARKSENSE DISPLAY
The warning display will turn on indicating the system
status when the vehicle is in REVERSE or when the vehicle
is in DRIVE and an obstacle has been detected.
The system will indicate a detected obstacle by showing a
single arc in the left and/or right front or rear regions
based on the object’s distance and location relative to the
vehicle.
If an object is detected in the left and/or right rear region,
the display will show a single arc in the left and/or right
rear region and the system will produce a tone. As the
vehicle moves closer to the object, the display will show
the single arc moving closer to the vehicle and the tone will
change from a single 1/2 second tone to slow, to fast, to
continuous.

23_WS_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 154

160STARTING AND OPERATING
(Continued)
PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is intended to
assist the driver during parallel and perpendicular parking
maneuvers. The system works by identifying a proper
parking space, providing audible/visual instructions, and
controlling the steering wheel only, or the accelerator,
gear selector, brakes, and the steering wheel (if equipped
with the Fully Automated system). Depending on the
driver's parking maneuver selection, the ParkSense Active
Park Assist system is capable of maneuvering a vehicle
into a parallel or a perpendicular parking space on either
side (i.e., driver side or passenger side).
Two types of ParkSense Active Park Assist systems are
available:
Semi-Automatic ParkSense Active Park Assist
 ParkSense Automated Parking system Semi-Automatic ParkSense Active Park Assist —
If Equipped
The Semi-Automatic system detects parking spaces, and
controls the steering wheel only. The driver maintains
control of the accelerator, gear selector and brakes.
ParkSense Automated Parking — If Equipped
The Fully Automated system detects parking spaces, and
controls the accelerator, gear selector, brakes, and
steering wheel. In this mode, the system also provides
obstacle detection by providing visual and audible
warnings and automatic braking to avoid a collision.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Fully Automated
system, you can switch between Semi-Automatic and Fully
Automated mode in the Uconnect Settings
Úpage 197.
NOTE:

The driver is always responsible for controlling the
vehicle, responsible for any surrounding objects, and
must intervene as required.
 The system is designed to assist the driver and not to
substitute the driver.
 During a Semi-Automatic or Fully Automated
maneuver, if the driver touches the steering wheel
after being instructed to remove their hands from the
steering wheel, the system will cancel, and the driver
will be required to manually complete the parking
maneuver.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even when
using ParkSense. Always check carefully behind your
vehicle, look behind you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions,
and blind spots before backing up. You are respon -
sible for safety and must continue to pay attention to
your surroundings. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
 Before using ParkSense, it is strongly recommended
that the ball mount and hitch ball assembly be
disconnected from the vehicle when the vehicle is
not used for towing. Failure to do so can result in
injury or damage to vehicles or obstacles because
the hitch ball will be much closer to the obstacle than
the rear fascia when the vehicle sounds the contin -
uous tone. Also, the sensors could detect the ball
mount and hitch ball assembly, depending on its size
and shape, giving a false indication that an obstacle
is behind the vehicle.
CAUTION!
 ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is unable to
recognize every obstacle, including small obstacles.
Parking curbs might be temporarily detected or not
detected at all. Obstacles located above or below the
sensors will not be detected when they are in close

STARTING AND OPERATING161
The system may not work in all conditions (e.g. environ -
mental conditions such as heavy rain, snow, etc., or if
searching for a parking space that has surfaces that
will absorb the ultrasonic sensor waves).
 New vehicles from the dealership must have at least
30 miles (48 km) accumulated before the ParkSense
Active Park Assist system is fully calibrated and
performs accurately. This is due to the system’s
dynamic vehicle calibration to improve the perfor -
mance of the feature. The system will also continuously
perform the dynamic vehicle calibration to account for
differences such as over or under inflated tires and
new tires.

maximum number of shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE.
If the maneuver cannot be completed within the maximum
amount of shifts, the system will cancel and the
instrument cluster display will instruct the driver to
complete the maneuver manually. The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will only operate
and search for a parking space when the following
conditions are present:

Gear selector is in DRIVE
 Ignition is in the RUN position
 ParkSense Active Park Assist switch is activated
 All of the doors are closed
 Rear liftgate is closed
 Vehicle speed is less than 15 mph (25 km/h) during a
