Traction Control System (TCS)

The Traction Control System (TCS) monitors the
amount of wheel spin of each of the driven
wheels. If wheel spin is detected, the TCS may
apply brake pressure to the spinning wheel(s) and/
or reduce engine power to provide enhanced
acceleration and stability. A feature of the TCS,
Brake Limited Differential (BLD), functions
similar to a limited slip differential and controls
the wheel spin across a driven axle. If one wheel
on a driven axle is spinning faster than the other,
the system will apply the brake of the spinning
wheel. This will allow more engine torque to be
applied to the wheel that is not spinning. BLD
may remain enabled even if TCS and Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) are in a reduced mode.

AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) — If
Equipped
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system
uses two radar-based sensors, located inside
the taillights, to detect highway licensable
vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motorcycles,
etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the
rear/front/side of the vehicle.Rear Detection Zones

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 (R) and enters standby mode when the
vehicle is in PARK (P).
The BSM detection zone covers approximately
one lane width on both sides of the vehicle, 12 ft
(3.8 m). The zone length starts at the outside rear
view mirror and extends approximately 10 ft
(3 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.
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 adja-
cent 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.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system
may experience drop outs (blinking on and
off) of the side mirror Warning Indicator
lamps when a motorcycle or any small
object remains at the side of the vehicle
for extended periods of time (more than a
couple of seconds).
The area on taillights, 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 taillights where the radar
sensors are located with foreign objects
(bumper stickers, bicycle racks, etc.).

STARTING AND OPERATING
168
Manual Activation Of The Rear View Camera
1. Press the “Controls” button located onthe bottom of the Uconnect display.
2. Press the “Backup Camera” button to turn the Rear View Camera system on.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE
(with Camera delay turned off), the rear
Camera mode is exited and the previous
screen appears again.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE
(with Camera delay turned on), the rear
Camera image will be displayed for up to 10
seconds unless the vehicle speed exceeds
8 mph (13 km/h), the transmission is shifted
into PARK, the ignition is placed in the OFF
position, or the touchscreen button “X” to
disable display of the Rear View Camera
image is pressed.
Whenever the Rear View Camera image is
activated through the “Backup Camera”
button in the “Controls” menu, and the
vehicle speed is greater than, or equal to,
8 mph (13 km/h), a display timer for the
image is initiated. The image will continue to
be displayed until the display timer exceeds
10 seconds. NOTE:
If the vehicle speed remains below 8 mph
(13 km/h), the Rear View Camera image
will be displayed continuously until deac-
tivated via the touchscreen button “X”,
the transmission is shifted into PARK, or
the ignition is placed in the OFF position.
The touchscreen button “X” to disable
display of the camera image is made avail
-
able ONLY when the vehicle is not in
REVERSE.
When enabled, active guide lines are overlaid
on the image to illustrate the width of the
vehicle and its projected backup path based
on the steering wheel position. A dashed
center line overlay indicates the center of the
vehicle to assist with parking or aligning to a
hitch/receiver.
When enabled, fixed guide lines are overlaid
on the image to illustrate the width of the
vehicle.
Different colored zones indicate the distance
to the rear of the vehicle. NOTE:
If snow, ice, mud, or any foreign substance
builds up on the camera lens, clean the lens,
rinse with water, and dry with a soft cloth. Do
not cover the lens.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using the ParkView Rear Back
Up Camera. Always check carefully behind
your vehicle, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, or blind spots before backing
up. You are responsible for the safety of
your surroundings and must continue to
pay attention while backing up. Failure to
do so can result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
To avoid vehicle damage, ParkView
should only be used as a parking aid. The
ParkView camera is unable to view every
obstacle or object in your drive path.
To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle
must be driven slowly when using
ParkView to be able to stop in time when
an obstacle is seen. It is recommended
that the driver look frequently over his/
her shoulder when using ParkView.
