WINDSHIELD WASHERS
To use the washer, push the multi-
function lever inward (toward the
steering column) and hold it for as
long as washer spray is desired.
If you activate the washer while the
windshield wiper control is in the de-
lay range, the wipers will operate for
two wipe cycles after releasing the
lever and then resume the intermit-
tent interval previously selected.
If you activate the washer while the
windshield wiper is turned off, the
wipers will operate for three wipe
cycles and then turn off.WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision.
You might not see other vehicles or
other obstacles. To avoid sudden ic-
ing of the windshield during freezing
weather, warm the windshield with
the defroster before and during
windshield washer use.HEADLIGHTS ON WITH
WIPERS (Available With
Automatic Headlights Only)
When this feature is active, the head-
lights will turn on approximately
10 seconds after the wipers are turned
on if the headlight switch is placed in
the AUTO position. In addition, the
headlights will turn off when the wip-
ers are turned off if they were turned
on by this feature.
The Headlights On with Wipers fea-
ture can be turned on and off using
the Uconnect Touch™ System, refer
to “Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
RAIN SENSING WIPERS
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
This feature senses moisture on the
windshield and automatically acti-
vates the wipers for the driver. The
feature is especially useful for road
splash or over spray from the wind-
shield washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate the end of the multifunction
lever to one of four settings to activate
this feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be
adjusted with the multifunction lever.
Wiper delay position 1 is the least
sensitive, and wiper delay position 4 is
the most sensitive. Setting 3 should be
used for normal rain conditions. Set-
tings 1 and 2 can be used if the driver
desires less wiper sensitivity. Settings
4 can be used if the driver desires
more sensitivity. The rain sense wip-
ers will automatically change between
an intermittent wipe, slow wipe and a
fast wipe depending on the amount of
moisture that is sensed on the wind-
shield. Place the wiper switch in the
OFF position when not using the sys-
tem.
The Rain Sensing feature can be
turned on and off using the Uconnect
Touch™ System, refer to “Uconnect
Touch™ Settings” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.

FORWARD COLLISION
WARNING (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
warns the driver of a potential colli-
sion with the vehicle in front of you
and prompts the driver to take action
in order to avoid the collision.
FCW monitors the information from
the forward looking sensor as well as
the Electronic Brake Controller
(EBC), wheel speed sensors, i.e., to
calculate a probable rear-end colli-
sion. When the system determines
that a rear-end collision is probable a
warning message (both audible and
visual) will be displayed on the EVIC.
When the system determines a colli-
sion with the vehicle in front of you is
no longer probable, the warning mes-
sage will be deactivated.
NOTE:
The minimum speed for FCW acti-
vation is 16 km/h.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
is not intended to avoid a collision on
its own. The driver has the responsi-
bility to avoid a collision by control-
ling the vehicle via braking and
steering. Failure to follow this warn-
ing could lead to serious injury or
death.
Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature can be set to far, set
to near or turned off using the
Uconnect Touch™ System, refer to
“Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in “Un-
derstanding Your Instrument Panel”
for further information. The FCW
Status Off, Near or Far will be dis-
played in the Uconnect Touch™ dis-
play.
The default status of FCW is the
“Far” setting, this allows the system
to warn you of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front of you when
you are farther away. This gives you
the most reaction time.
Changing the FCW status to the
“Near” setting, allows the system to
warn you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you when you
are much closer. This setting provides
less reaction time than the “Far” set-
ting, which allows for a more dynamic
driving experience.
Changing the FCW status to “Off”
prevents the system from warning you
of a possible collision with the vehicle
in front of you.
NOTE:
 In the “Off” setting FCW OFF
will be displayed on the
Uconnect Touch™ display.
 The system will retain the last setting selected by the driver af-
ter ignition shut down.
 FCW will not react to irrelevant objects such as overhead ob-
jects, ground reflections, objects
not in the path of the car, sta-
tionary objects that are far away,
oncoming traffic, or leading ve-
hicles with the same or higher
rate of speed.
 FCW will be disabled like ACC below with the unavailable
screens.
128

FCW Unavailable Warning
If the system turns off, and the EVIC
displays “ACC/FCW Unavailable,
Vehicle System Error”, there may be a
temporary malfunction that limits
FCW functionality. Although the ve-
hicle is still drivable under normal
conditions, FCW will be temporarily
unavailable. If this occurs, try activat-
ing FCW again later, following a key
cycle. If the problem persists, see your
authorized dealer.
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the EVIC
displays “ACC/FCW Unavailable
Service Radar Sensor”, it indicates
there is an internal system fault. Al-
though the vehicle is still drivable un-
der normal conditions, have the sys-
tem checked by an authorized dealer.PARKSENSE® PARK
ASSIST
The ParkSense® Park Assist system
provides visual and audible indica-
tions of the distance between the rear
and/or front fascia and a detected ob-
stacle when backing up or moving
forward, e.g. during a parking ma-
neuver. Refer to ParkSense® System
Usage Precautions for limitations of
this system and recommendations.
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 shift lever is in REVERSE or
DRIVE. If ParkSense® is enabled at
one of these shift lever positions, the
system will remain active until the
vehicle speed is increased to approxi-
mately 11 km/h or above. The system
will become active again if the vehicle
speed is decreased to speeds less than
approximately 9 km/h.
PARKSENSE® SENSORS
The four ParkSense® sensors, located
in the rear fascia/bumper, monitor thearea behind the vehicle that is within
the sensors’ field of view. The sensors
can detect obstacles up to approxi-
mately 200 cm from the rear fascia/
bumper in the horizontal direction,
depending on the location, type and
orientation of the obstacle.
The six ParkSense® sensors, located
in the front fascia/bumper, monitor
the area in front of the vehicle that is
within the sensors’ field of view. The
sensors can detect obstacles up to ap-
proximately 120 cm from the front
fascia/bumper in the horizontal direc-
tion, depending on the location, type
and orientation of the obstacle.
PARKSENSE® WARNING
DISPLAY
The ParkSense® Warning screen will
only be displayed if Sound and Dis-
play is selected from the Uconnect
Touch™ System. Refer to “Uconnect
Touch™ Settings” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.

ENABLING AND
DISABLING PARKSENSE®
ParkSense® can be enabled and dis-
abled using the Uconnect Touch™
System. The available choices are:
Off, Sound Only, or Sound and Dis-
play. Refer to “Uconnect Touch™ Set-
tings” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further
information. When the ParkSense® soft-key is
pressed to disable the system, the
EVIC will display the “PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM OFF” message for approxi-
mately five seconds. Refer to “Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further informa-
tion. When the shift lever is moved to
REVERSE or to DRIVE (at or below
11 km/h) and the system is disabled,
the EVIC will display the “PARK AS-
SIST SYSTEM OFF” message for ap-
proximately five seconds in RE-
VERSE or for 5 seconds when the
vehicle is in DRIVE.
SERVICE THE
PARKSENSE® PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM
When the ParkSense® Park Assist
System is malfunctioning, the instru-
ment cluster will actuate a single
chime, once per ignition cycle. The
instrument cluster will display the
“CLEAN PARK ASSIST” message
when any of the rear or front sensor(s)
are blocked by snow, mud, or ice and
the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE
or DRIVE. The instrument cluster
will display the “SERVICE PARK AS-
SIST” message when any of the rear
or front sensors are damaged and re-
quire service. When the shift lever is
moved to REVERSE or DRIVE and
the system has detected a faulted con-
131

dition, the EVIC will display the
“CLEAN PARK ASSIST”, “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST” or the “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message for
as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE
or DRIVE (at speeds less than
11 km/h). Under this condition
ParkSense® will not operate. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further infor-
mation.
If “CLEAN PARK ASSIST” appears
in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) make sure the outer
surface and the underside of the rear
fascia/bumper and/or front fascia/
bumper is clean and clear of snow, ice,
mud, dirt or other obstruction and
then cycle the ignition. If the message
continues to appear see an authorized
dealer.
If “SERVICE PARK ASSIST" or
“SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM”
appears in the EVIC, see an autho-
rized dealer.CLEANING THE
PARKSENSE® SYSTEM
Clean the ParkSense® sensors with
water, car wash soap and a soft cloth.
Do not use rough or hard cloths. Do
not scratch or poke the sensors. Oth-
erwise, you could damage the sensors.
PARKSENSE® SYSTEM
USAGE PRECAUTIONS
NOTE:
 Ensure that the front and rear
bumper are free of snow, ice,
mud, dirt and debris to keep the
ParkSense® system operating
properly.
 Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could affect the
performance of ParkSense®.
 When you turn ParkSense® off, the EVIC will display “PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM OFF.” Further-
more, once you turn
ParkSense® off, it remains off
until you turn it on again, even if
you cycle the ignition key.  When you move the shift lever to
the REVERSE or DRIVE posi-
tion and ParkSense® is turned
off, the EVIC will display “PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM OFF” message
for approximately five seconds
in REVERSE or for 5 seconds
when the vehicle is in DRIVE.
 Clean the ParkSense® sensors regularly, taking care not to
scratch or damage them. The
sensors must not be covered
with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt
or debris. Failure to do so can
result in the system not working
properly. The ParkSense® sys-
tem might not detect an obstacle
behind or in front of the fascia/
bumper, or it could provide a
false indication that an obstacle
is behind or in front of the
fascia/bumper.

WARNING!
Do not place ashes inside the cubby
bin located on the center console on
vehicle's not equipped with the ash
receiver tray. A fire leading to bodily
injury could result.
The center console outlet is powered
directly from the battery (power
available at all times). Items plugged
into this outlet may discharge the bat-
tery and/or prevent the engine from
starting.
There is also a 12 volt power outlet
located on the back of the center con-
sole for rear passengers. This power
outlet has power available only when
the ignition is placed in the ACC or
RUN position.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
 Only devices designed for use in this type of outlet should be in-
serted into any 12 Volt outlet.
 Do not touch with wet hands.
 Close the lid when not in use and
while driving the vehicle.
 If this outlet is mishandled, it may
cause an electric shock and fail-
ure.CAUTION!
 Many accessories that can beplugged in draw power from the
vehicle's battery even when not in
use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).
Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle's battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the en-
gine from starting.
 Accessories that draw higher
power (i.e., coolers, vacuum
cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade
the battery even more quickly.
Only use these intermittently and
with greater caution.
