9. Test that the child restraint is installed tightly bypulling back and forth on the child seat at the belt
path. It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm)
in any direction.
Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the
belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
Transporting Pets
Air Bags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet.
An unrestrained pet will be thrown about and possibly
injured, or injure a passenger during panic braking or in
a collision.
Pets should be restrained in the rear seat in pet harnesses
or pet carriers that are secured by seat belts.
FUEL CUT OFF SWITCH
The vehicle is fitted with a safety switch that, in the event
of an accident, comes into operation by cutting off the
fuel supply and turning off the engine as a consequence.
When the inertia switch cuts in, this cuts off the fuel
supply and also activates the hazard warning lights, side
lights, and courtesy lights while releasing all the doors
and displaying a message; they are deactivated by push-
ing button A.
NOTE: After an accident, remember to cycle the ignition
to the STOP (OFF/LOCK) position and remove the key
from the ignition switch to avoid draining the battery. If
no fuel leaks or damage to vehicle electrical devices (e.g.
headlights) are detected after the impact, reactivate the
automatic fuel cut off following the procedure described
below.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 61

Damper Weight Adjustment
Use the weight adjustment knob to set the required
setting based on body weight, with settings between
88 lbs (40 kg) and 286 lbs (130 kg).Swivel Seat — If Equipped
The swivel seat lever is located at the lower front inboard
side of the seat. The seat may be turned through 180°
toward the seat on the opposite side and approximately
35° toward the door. The seat may be locked in the
driving position or at the 180° position. To swivel the
seat, pull the swivel seat inboard lever outward, turn the
seat to the desired position and release the lever. The
swivel seat back lever is located at the lower front
outboard side of the seat, to tilt the seat back forward or
rearward.
If the vehicle is equipped with interlocking swivel seats,
the seats must be locked in facing forward position while
driving. If the seats are not in the correct position, a
warning will display in the EVIC.

Audible And Visual Signals Supplied By The ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System
SIGNALMEANING INDICATION
Obstacle Distance An obstacle is present within
the sensors’ field of view Audible signal
(dashboard loudspeaker)
• Sound pulses emitted at a rate that in-
creases as the distance decreases.
• Emits continuous tone at 12 in (30 cm).
• Adjustable volume level programmable
through personal settings in the EVIC. Refer
to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) Setup Menu” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel”.
Failure Sensor or System failures Visual Signal(instrument panel)
• Icon appears on display.
• Message is displayed on multifunction
display (where provided).
108 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

While audible signals are emitted, the audio system is not
muted.
The audible signal is turned off immediately if the
distance increases. The tone cycle remains constant if the
distance measured by the inner sensors is constant. If this
condition occurs for the external sensors, the signal is
turned off after three seconds (stopping warnings during
maneuvers parallel to walls).
ParkSense® Rear Park Assist Failure Indications
A malfunction of the ParkSense® Rear Park Assist sen-
sors or system is indicated, during REVERSE gear en-
gagement, by the instrument panel warning icon.The warning icon is illuminated and a message
is displayed on the multifunction display (if
equipped). Refer to “Instrument Cluster De-
scriptions” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information. The sensors and wiring are tested continuously when the
ignition is in the ON/RUN position. Failures are indi-
cated immediately if they occur when the system is ON.
Even if the system is able to identify that a specific sensor
is in failure condition, the instrument cluster display
shall indicate that the ParkSense® Rear Park Assist
system is unavailable, without reference to the sensor in
failure condition. If even a single sensor fails, the entire
system must be disabled. The system is turned off
automatically.Cleaning The ParkSense® Rear Park Assist
System
Clean the ParkSense® Rear Park Assist sensors with
water, car wash soap and a soft cloth. Do not use rough
or hard cloths. In washing stations, clean sensors quickly
keeping the vapor jet/high pressure washing nozzles at
least 4 in (10 cm) from the sensors. Do not scratch or poke
the sensors. Otherwise, you could damage the sensors.

ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System Usage
Precautions
NOTE:
•Ensure that the outer surface and the underside of the
rear bumper is clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt
or other obstruction to keep the Rear Park Assist
system operating properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could
affect the performance of Rear Park Assist.
• Clean the Rear Park Assist 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 Rear Park Assist system might
not detect an obstacle behind the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication that an obstacle is
behind the fascia/bumper. •
Objects such as bicycle carriers, etc., must not be
placed within 12 in (30 cm) from the rear fascia/
bumper while driving the vehicle. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a close object as a
sensor problem, causing a failure indication to be
displayed in the instrument cluster.
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 proximity.
•
The vehicle must be driven slowly when using
ParkSense® in order to be able to stop in time when an
obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the driver
looks over his/her shoulder when using ParkSense®.
110 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

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 responsible 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 recom-
mended that the ball mount and hitch ball assem-
bly is 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 loudspeaker
sounds the continuous tone. Also, the sensors
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
could detect the ball mount and hitch ball assem-
bly, depending on its size and shape, giving a false
indication that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.
If it’s necessary to keep the ball mount and hitch ball
assembly mounted for a long period, it is possible to filter
out the ball mount and hitch ball assembly presence in
sensor field of view. The filtering operation must be
performed only by an authorized dealer.
PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA — IF
EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with the ParkView Rear
Back Up Camera that allows you to see an on-screen
image of the rear surroundings of your vehicle whenever
the shift lever is put into REVERSE and/or when the rear
doors are opened. The image will be displayed on the
touchscreen display along with a caution note to “check

entire surroundings” across the top of the screen. After
five seconds this note will disappear. The ParkView Rear
Back Up Camera is located on the top rear of the vehicle
below the center light.When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE and/or
when the rear doors are closed, the rear camera mode is
exited and the navigation or audio screen appears again.
When displayed, static grid lines will illustrate the width
of the vehicle and will show separate zones that will help
indicate the distance to the rear of the vehicle. The
following table shows the approximate distances for each
zone:
