high quality - all essentials that are traditional to our vehicles.

driver's control under some driving conditions. These are to assist the driver
and are never a substitute for attentive driving. They can never take the
driver's place. Always drive carefully.
Your new vehicle has many features for the comfort and convenience of you
and your passengers. Some of these should not be used when driving
because they take your eyes from the road or your attention from driving.
Never text while driving or take your eyes more than momentarily off the
road.

that are either standard or optional on this vehicle. This guide may also
include a description of features and equipment that are no longer available
or were not ordered on this vehicle. Please disregard any features and
equipment described in this guide that are not available on this vehicle.

specifications and/or make additions to or improvements to its products
without imposing any obligation upon itself to install them on products
previously manufactured.
This User Guide has been prepared to help you quickly become acquainted
with the important features of your vehicle. It contains most things you will
need to operate and maintain the vehicle, including emergency information.
The DVD includes a computer application containing detailed owner's
information which can be viewed on a personal computer or MAC computer.
The multimedia DVD also includes videos which can be played on any
standard DVD player (including the Media Center Touch-Screen Radios).
Additional DVD operational information is located on the back of the DVD
sleeve.

the owner’s kit provided at the time of new vehicle purchase. For your

Forward Collision Warning
• The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the driver withaudible and visual warnings (within the EVIC) when it detects a potential
frontal collision. The warnings are intended to provide the driver with
enough time to react and avoid the potential collision.
Changing FCW Status • The FCW feature has three settings and can be changed within the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
•Far
• Near
•Off
NOTE: The FCW settings can only be changed when the vehicle is in PARK.
Far • The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting.
• The far setting provides warnings for potential collisions more distant in front of the vehicle, allowing the driver to have the most reaction time to
avoid a collision.
• This setting is designed to provide early warnings per NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) recommendations.
• More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE: This setting gives you the most reaction time.
Near • Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting, allows the system to warn you of a potential frontal collision when you are much closer.
• This setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” setting, which allows for a more dynamic driving experience.
• More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to avoid frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
Off • Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the system from warning you of a potential frontal collision.
NOTE:
• If FCW is set to “Off”, “FCW OFF” will be displayed in the EVIC.
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
