NOTE:The fog lights will operate with the low beam
headlights or parking lights on. However, selecting the
high beam headlights will turn off the fog lights.
MULTIFUNCTION LEVER
The multifunction lever controls the operation of the
turn signals, headlight beam selection and passing lights.
The multifunction lever is located on the left side of the
steering column.
TURN SIGNALS
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the
arrows on each side of the instrument cluster flash to
show proper operation of the front and rear turn signallights.
NOTE:
• If either light remains on and does not flash, or there
is a very fast flash rate, check for a defective outside
light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever is
moved, it would suggest that the indicator bulb is
defective.
• A “Turn Signal On” message will appear in the EVIC
(if equipped) and a continuous chime will sound if the
vehicle is driven more than 1.6 km with either turn
signal on.
LANE CHANGE ASSIST
Tap the lever up or down once, without moving beyond
the detent, and the turn signal (right or left) will flash
three times then automatically turn off. HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH

To protect the battery, the interior lights will turn off
automatically 10 minutes after the ignition switch is
moved to the LOCK position. This will occur if the
interior lights were switched on manually or are on
because a door is open. This includes the glove box
light, but not the trunk light. To restore interior light
operation, either turn the ignition switch ON or cycle
the light switch.
DIMMER CONTROLS
The dimmer control is part of the headlight switch and
is located on the left side of the instrument panel.

LOOSE FUEL FILLER CAP MESSAGE
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the
fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged,
the word “gASCAP” will display in the odometer. If this
occurs, tighten the fuel filler cap until a “clicking” sound
is heard and press the TRIP ODOMETER button to
turn off the message. If the problem persists, the
message will appear the next time the vehicle is
started.
A loose, improperly installed, or damaged fuel filler cap
may also turn on the MIL.POWER STEERING
The standard power steering system will give you good
vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability
in tight spaces. The system will provide mechanical
steering capability if power assist is lost.
If for some reason the power assist is interrupted, it
will still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these
conditions, you will observe a substantial increase in
steering effort, especially at very low vehicle speeds
and during parking maneuvers.
NOTE:
• Increased noise levels at the end of the steering
wheel travel are considered normal and do not indicate
that there is a problem with the power steering system.
• Upon initial start-up in cold weather, the power
steering pump may make noise for a short amount of
time. This is due to the cold, thick fluid in the steering
system. This noise should be considered normal, and it
does not in any way damage the steering system.
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced
power steering assist could pose a safety
risk to yourself and others. Service should be
obtained as soon as possible.

PARKSENSE® REAR PARK ASSIST —
IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense
®
Rear Park Assist system provides
visual and audible indications of the distance between
the rear fascia and a detected obstacle when backing
up, e.g. during a parking maneuver. Refer to “Park-Sense
®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. If ParkSense
®is enabled at this shift lever
position, the system will remain active until the vehicle
speed is increased to approximately 18 km/h or above.
The system will become active again if the vehicle
speed is decreased to speeds less than approximately
16 km/h.
ParkSense
®Sensors
The four ParkSense
®
sensors, located in the rear
fascia/bumper, monitor the area behind the vehicle that
is within the sensors’ field of view. The sensors can
detect obstacles from approximately 30 cm up to
200 cm from the rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal
direction, depending on the location, type and orienta-
tion of the obstacle.
ParkSense
®Warning Display
The ParkSense®Warning screen will only be displayed
if Sound and Display is selected from the Uconnect
Touch™ System. Refer to “Uconnect Touch™ Set-
tings” for further information. The ParkSense
®Warning screen is located within the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). It pro-
vides visual warnings to indicate the distance between
the rear fascia/bumper and the detected obstacle. Re-
fer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/
Settings” for further information.
ParkSense
®Display
When the vehicle is in REVERSE, the warning display
will turn ON indicating the system status. (fig. 103)
(fig. 104)
The system will indicate a detected obstacle by show-
ing three solid arcs and will produce a one-half second
tone. As the vehicle moves closer to the object, the
EVIC display will show fewer arcs and the sound tone
will change from slow, to fast, to continuous. (fig. 105)

indicate the range of the object. Service The ParkSense
®Rear Park Assist
System
When the ParkSense
®
Rear Park Assist system is
malfunctioning, the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) will actuate a single chime, once per
ignition cycle, and it will display the “CLEAN PARK
ASSIST SENSORS” or the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST

mation Center (EVIC)” for further information. When
the shift lever is moved to REVERSE and the system has
detected a fault condition, the EVIC will display the
“CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” or the “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message for as long as the
vehicle is in REVERSE. Under this condition, Park-Sense
®will not operate.
