HEATED STEERING
WHEEL (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The steering wheel contains a heating
element that helps warm your hands
in cold weather. The heated steering
wheel has only one temperature set-
ting. Once the heated steering wheel
has been turned on it will operate for
approximately 58 to 70 minutes be-
fore automatically shutting off. The
heated steering wheel can shut off
early or may not turn on when the
steering wheel is already warm.
The heated steering wheel can be
turned on and off using the Uconnect
Touch™ System.
Touch the “Controls” soft-key then
touch the “Heated Steering Wheel”
soft-key to turn on the heated steering
wheel. Press the “Heated Steering
Wheel” soft-key a second time to turn
the heated steering wheel off.NOTE:
The engine must be running for the
heated steering wheel to operate.

 Persons who are unable to feel
pain to the skin because of ad-
vanced age, chronic illness, diabe-
tes, spinal cord injury, medica-
tion, alcohol use, exhaustion, or
other physical conditions must ex-
ercise care when using the steering
wheel heater. It may cause burns
even at low temperatures, espe-
cially if used for long periods.
 Do not place anything on the
steering wheel that insulates
against heat, such as a blanket or
steering wheel covers of any type
and material. This may cause the
steering wheel heater to overheat.
ADJUSTABLE PEDALS
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The adjustable pedals system is de-
signed to allow a greater range of
driver comfort for steering wheel tilt
and seat position. This feature allows
the brake, accelerator, and clutch
pedals (for versions/markets, where
provided) to move toward or away

NOTE:
In order to ensure proper opera-
tion, the Electronic Speed Control
System has been designed to shut
down if multiple Speed Control
functions are operated at the same
time. If this occurs, the Electronic
Speed Control System can be reac-
tivated by pushing the Electronic
Speed Control ON/OFF button and
resetting the desired vehicle set
speed.
TO ACTIVATE
Push the ON/OFF button. The Cruise
Indicator Light in the Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC) will
illuminate. To turn the system off,
push the ON/OFF button a second
time. The Cruise Indicator Light will
turn off. The system should be turned
off when not in use.
WARNING!
Leaving the Electronic Speed Con-
trol 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 con-
trol and have an accident. Always
leave the system OFF when you are
not using it.
TO SET A DESIRED SPEED
Turn the Electronic Speed Control
ON. When the vehicle has reached the
desired speed, press the SET (-) but-
ton and release. Release the accelera-
tor and the vehicle will operate at the
selected speed.
NOTE:
The vehicle should be traveling at
a steady speed and on level ground
before pressing the SET button.
TO DEACTIVATE
A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing
the CANCEL button, or normal brake
pressure while slowing the vehicle will
deactivate Electronic Speed Control
without erasing the set speed memory. Pressing the ON/OFF button or turn-
ing the ignition switch OFF erases the
set speed memory.
TO RESUME SPEED
To resume a previously set speed,
push the RES (+) button and release.
Resume can be used at any speed
above 32 km/h.
TO VARY THE SPEED
SETTING
When the Electronic Speed Control is
set, you can increase speed by pushing
the RES (+) button. If the button is
continually pressed, the set speed will
continue to increase until the button is
released, then the new set speed will
be established.
Pressing the RES (+) button once will
result in the following set speeds:
 2.0 km/h (3.0L Diesel Engine)
 1.6 km/h (3.6L Engine)
Each subsequent tap of the button
results in an increase of 2.0 km/h
(3.0L Diesel Engine) or 1.6 km/h
(3.6L Engine).
116

To decrease speed while the Elec-
tronic Speed Control is set, push the
SET (-) button. If the button is con-
tinually held in the SET (-) position,
the set speed will continue to decrease
until the button is released. Release
the button when the desired speed is
reached, and the new set speed will be
established.
Pressing the SET (-) button once will
result in the following decrease in set
speed:
 2.0 km/h (3.0L Diesel Engine)
 1.6 km/h (3.6L Engine)
Each subsequent tap of the button
results in a decrease of 2.0 km/h
(3.0L Diesel Engine) or 1.6 km/h
(3.6L Engine)
TO ACCELERATE FOR
PASSING
Press the accelerator as you would
normally. When the pedal is released,
the vehicle will return to the set speed.
Using Electronic Speed Control
On Hills
The transmission may downshift on
hills to maintain the vehicle set speed.NOTE:
The Electronic Speed Control sys-
tem maintains speed up and down
hills. A slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or
gain may occur so it may be prefer-
able to drive without Electronic Speed
Control.
WARNING!
Electronic Speed Control can be
dangerous where the system cannot
maintain a constant speed. Your ve-
hicle could go too fast for the condi-
tions, and you could lose control and
have an accident. Do not use Elec-
tronic Speed Control in heavy traffic
or on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered or slippery.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL (ACC) (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) in-
creases the driving convenience pro-
vided by cruise control while traveling on highways and major roadways.
However, it is not a safety system and
not designed to prevent collisions.
ACC will allow you to keep cruise
control engaged in light to moderate
traffic conditions without the con-
stant need to reset your cruise control.
ACC utilizes a radar sensor designed
to detect a vehicle directly ahead of
you.
NOTE:
 If the sensor does not detect a
vehicle ahead of you, ACC will
maintain a fixed set speed.
 If the ACC sensor detects a ve- hicle ahead, ACC will apply lim-
ited braking or acceleration (not
to exceed the original set speed)
automatically to maintain a pre-
set following distance, while
matching the speed of the ve-
hicle ahead.

TO RESUME SPEED
Press the RES+button and release.
Then remove your foot from the ac-
celerator pedal. The EVIC will dis-
play the last set speed.
NOTE:
You can resume ACC from a mini-
mum of 30 km/h.WARNING!
The Resume function should only be
used if traffic and road conditions
permit. Resuming a set speed that is
too high or too low for prevailing
traffic and road conditions could
cause the vehicle to accelerate or
decelerate too sharply for safe op-
eration. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in a collision
and death or serious personal injury.
TO VARY THE SPEED
SETTING
While ACC is set, you can increase the
set speed by pressing and holding the
RES +button. The increase in set
speed is reflected in the EVIC display:
While in US Mode, if the button is
continually pressed, the set speed will continue to increase in 8 km/h incre-
ments. While in Metric Mode, if the
button is continually pressed, the set
speed will continue to increase in
10 km/h increments.
While in US Mode, pressing the RES
+
button once will result in a 1.6 km/h
increase in set speed. Each subse-
quent tap of the button results in in-
crease of 1.6 km/h. While in Metric
Mode, pressing the RES +button once
will result in a 1.0 km/h increase in set
speed. Each subsequent tap of the
button results in increase of 1.0 km/h.
While ACC is set, the set speed can be
decreased by pressing and holding the
SET -button.
If the button is held while in US Mode,
the set speed will continue to decrease
in 8 km/h increments.
If the button is held while in Metric
Mode, the set speed will continue to
decrease in 10 km/h increments.
While in US Mode, pressing the SET -
button once will result in a 1.6 km/h
decrease in set speed. Each subse-
quent tap of the button results in de-
crease of 1.6 km/h. While in Metric Mode, pressing the
SET
-button once will result in a
1.0 km/h decrease in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in
decrease of 1.0 km/h.
NOTE:
 When you use the SET - button
to decelerate, if the engine’s
braking power does not slow the
vehicle sufficiently to reach the
set speed, the brake system will
automatically slow the vehicle.
 The ACC system can only apply a maximum of 25% of the vehi-
cle's braking capability and will
not bring the vehicle to a com-
plete stop.
 The ACC system maintains set speed when driving up hill and
down hill. However, a slight
speed change on moderate hills
is normal. In addition, down-
shifting may occur while climb-
ing uphill or descending down-
hill. This is normal operation
and necessary to maintain set
speed.

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.

9. Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is part of an on-
board diagnostic system,
called OBD, that monitors en-
gine and automatic transmission con-
trol systems. The light will illuminate
when the key is in the ON/RUN posi-
tion, before engine start. If the bulb
does not come on when turning the
key from OFF to ON/RUN, have the
condition checked promptly.
Certain conditions, such as poor fuel
quality, etc., may illuminate the MIL
after engine start. The vehicle should
be serviced if the light stays on
through several of your typical driv-
ing cycles. In most situations, the ve-
hicle will drive normally and will not
require towing.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic con-
verter damage and power loss will
soon occur. Immediate service is re-
quired.WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic con-
verter, as referenced above, can
reach higher temperatures than in
normal operating conditions. This
can cause a fire if you drive slowly or
park over flammable substances
such as dry plants, wood, cardboard,
etc. This could result in death or
serious injury to the driver, occu-
pants or others. 10. Speedometer
