Accel/Decel
• Once a speed is set, pushing the RES + button once or the SET – button once will
increase or decrease the set speed approximately 1 mph (2 km/h).
Resume
• To resume a previously selected set speed in memory, push the RES + button and
release.
Cancel
• Push the CANCEL button, or apply the brakes to cancel the set speed and
maintain the set speed memory.
• Push the ON/OFF button to turn the system off and erase the set speed memory.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• If your vehicle is equipped with adaptive cruise control the controls operate exactly
the same as the standard cruise control with one difference. You can set a
specified distance you would like to maintain between you and the vehicle in front
of you.
• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will apply limited braking or
acceleration automatically to maintain a preset following distance, while matching
the speed of the vehicle ahead.
• If the sensor does not detect a vehicle directly ahead of you, it functions like a
standard cruise control system, maintaining the speed you set.
Accel/Decel (ACC Only)
• Once a speed is set, pushing the RES + button once or the SET – button once will
increase or decrease the set speed approximately 1 mph (1 km/h).
• Push and hold the RES + button to accelerate in 5mph (10 km/h) increments or
push and hold the SET – button to decelerate in 5mph (10 km/h) increments;
release the button to save the new set speed.
Distance Setting (ACC Only)
• To set or change the distance setting, press the Distance button and release. Each
time the button is pressed, the distance setting adjusts between long (3), medium
(2), and short (1). The distance setting will default to the last set mode the next
time the vehicle is restarted and the ACC system is turned on.
• The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting
between 3 (long), 2 (medium), and 1 (short). Using this distance setting and the
vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets the distance to the vehicle ahead. This
distance setting displays in the EVIC.
Mode (ACC Only)
• If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can
be operated as a standard (fixed speed) Cruise Control. When in the standard
(fixed speed) Cruise Control mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and
the system will maintain the speed you set.

• To change modes, press the MODE button when the system is in either the OFF,
READY, or SET position. Cruise Off will be displayed if the system was in ACC
READY, ACC SET or the ACC OFF position. To switch back to Adaptive Cruise
Control mode, press the MODE button a second time.
• Each press of the MODE button will be followed by an audible chime.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
Forward Collision Warning
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW) warns the driver of a potential collision with the
vehicle in front of you and prompts the driver to take action in order to avoid the
collision. A warning message (both audible and visual) will be displayed on the
EVIC.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
WARNING!
• Leaving the Electronic or Adaptive 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 a collision. Always leave the
Electronic or Adaptive Speed Control system off when you are not using it.
• Electronic Speed 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. A collision could be the result. Do not use
Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered or slippery.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute
for active driving involvement. Pay attention to road, traffic, and weather
conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead, and brake operation
to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your
attention is always required while driving to maintain safe control of your
vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision or serious
personal injury.
The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (i.e.,
a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may be
limited upon adverse sight distance conditions.
• Does not predict the lane curvature or the movement of preceding vehicles
and will not compensate for such changes.
• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can result
in wrong or missing distance warnings.
• Can only apply a maximum of 25% of the vehicle’s braking capability, and
will not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
You should switch off the ACC system:

WARNING!(Continued)
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex
driving situations (i.e., in highway construction zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp; when driving on roads that
are winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill
slopes; and when towing a trailer.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.
• Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision.
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its
own. The driver has the responsibility to avoid a collision by controlling the
vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to follow this warning could lead to
serious injury or death.
ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECTION (ERS)
• Electronic Range Select (ERS) allows
you to limit the highest available
transmission gear, and can be
activated during any driving condition.
When towing a trailer, using ERS shift
control will help you maximize both
performance and engine braking.
• To switch from DRIVE mode to ERS mode, tap the shift lever to the left (-) once.
The instrument cluster will display the current gear (the transmission may
downshift), and the transmission will not upshift beyond that gear. Tapping the
shift lever to the left (-) or right (+) will decrease or increase the top available gear.
To disable ERS, simply hold the shift lever to the right (+) until “D” is again
displayed in the instrument cluster.
• Switching between ERS and DRIVE mode can be done at any vehicle speed.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

PARKSENSE®REAR PARK ASSIST
• The four ParkSense®sensors, located in the rear fascia/bumper, monitor the area
behind the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view.
• When an object is detected within two meters behind the rear bumper while the
vehicle is in REVERSE, a warning will display in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) and a chime will sound (when Sound and Display is selected from
the Customer Programmable Features section of the EVIC). As the vehicle moves
closer to the object, the chime rate will change from slow, to fast, to continuous.
Cleaning the ParkSense®Sensors
• If “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” appears in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC), 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. Otherwise, you could damage the sensors.
NOTE:When the Instrument Cluster reads either Clean Sensor or Blinded, please clean
off the bumper sensors to see if the condition is corrected.

is put into REVERSE. The ParkView®Rear Back-Up Camera image will be
displayed on the radio display screen, located on the center stack of the
instrument panel.
• If the radio display screen appears foggy, clean the camera lens located on the
liftgate.
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 must continue to pay attention while backing up.
Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING
• The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located
inside the rear bumper fascia, to detect Highway licensable vehicles (automobiles,
trucks, motorcycles etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of
the vehicle.
• The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system warning light, located in the outside
mirrors, will illuminate if a vehicle moves into a blind spot zone.
• The BSM system can also be configured to sound an audible (chime) alert and
mute the radio to notify you of objects that have entered the detection zones.
• Refer to your owner's manual on the DVD for further details.
