FORWARD COLLISION
WARNING (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
warns the driver of a potential colli-
sion with the vehicle in front of you
and prompts the driver to take action
in order to avoid the collision.
FCW monitors the information from
the forward looking sensor as well as
the Electronic Brake Controller
(EBC), wheel speed sensors, i.e., to
calculate a probable rear-end colli-
sion. When the system determines
that a rear-end collision is probable a
warning message (both audible and
visual) will be displayed on the EVIC.
When the system determines a colli-
sion with the vehicle in front of you is
no longer probable, the warning mes-
sage will be deactivated.
NOTE:
The minimum speed for FCW acti-
vation is 16 km/h.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
is not intended to avoid a collision on
its own. The driver has the responsi-
bility to avoid a collision by control-
ling the vehicle via braking and
steering. Failure to follow this warn-
ing could lead to serious injury or
death.
Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature can be set to far, set
to near or turned off using the
Uconnect Touch™ System, refer to
“Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in “Un-
derstanding Your Instrument Panel”
for further information. The FCW
Status Off, Near or Far will be dis-
played in the Uconnect Touch™ dis-
play.
The default status of FCW is the
“Far” setting, this allows the system
to warn you of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front of you when
you are farther away. This gives you
the most reaction time.
Changing the FCW status to the
“Near” setting, allows the system to
warn you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you when you
are much closer. This setting provides
less reaction time than the “Far” set-
ting, which allows for a more dynamic
driving experience.
Changing the FCW status to “Off”
prevents the system from warning you
of a possible collision with the vehicle
in front of you.
NOTE:
 In the “Off” setting FCW OFF
will be displayed on the
Uconnect Touch™ display.
 The system will retain the last setting selected by the driver af-
ter ignition shut down.
 FCW will not react to irrelevant objects such as overhead ob-
jects, ground reflections, objects
not in the path of the car, sta-
tionary objects that are far away,
oncoming traffic, or leading ve-
hicles with the same or higher
rate of speed.
 FCW will be disabled like ACC below with the unavailable
screens.

19. Seat Belt Reminder LightWhen the ignition switch is first
turned to ON/RUN, this light
will turn on for four to eight
seconds as a bulb check. During the
bulb check, if the driver's seat belt is
unbuckled, a chime will sound. After
the bulb check or when driving, if the
driver's seat belt remains unbuckled,
the Seat Belt Reminder Light will il-
luminate and the chime will sound.
Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in
“Things To Know Before Starting
Your Vehicle” for further information.
20. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature. Any reading
within the normal range indicates
that the engine cooling system is op-
erating satisfactorily.
The gauge pointer will likely indicate
a higher temperature when driving in
hot weather, up mountain grades, or
when towing a trailer. It should not be
allowed to exceed the upper limits of
the normal operating range.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling
system could damage your vehicle.
If the temperature gauge reads “H”
pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle
the vehicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops
back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on the “H” and you
hear continuous chimes, turn the en-
gine off immediately and call an au-
thorized dealership for service.WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dan-
gerous. You or others could be badly
burned by steam or boiling coolant.
You may want to call an authorized
dealership for service if your vehicle
overheats. If you decide to look un-
der the hood yourself, see “Main-
taining Your Vehicle”. Follow the
warnings under the Cooling System
Pressure Cap paragraph. ELECTRONIC VEHICLE

STEERING WHEEL
AUDIO CONTROLS
The remote sound system controls are
located on the surface of the steering
wheel at the three and nineo'clock
positions. The
right-hand control is a rocker-
type switch with a pushbutton in the
center and controls the volume and
mode of the sound system. Pressing
the top of the rocker switch will in-
crease the volume, and pressing the
bottom of the rocker switch will de-
crease the volume.
Pressing the center button will make
the radio switch between the various
modes available (MW/LW/CD, etc.).
The left-hand control is a rocker-type
switch with a pushbutton in the cen-
ter. The function of the left-hand con-
trol is different depending on which
mode you are in.
The following describes the left-hand
control operation in each mode.
Radio Operation
Pressing the top of the switch will
“Seek” up for the next listenable sta-
tion and pressing the bottom of the
switch will “Seek” down for the next
listenable station.
The button located in the center of the
left-hand control will tune to the next preset station that you have pro-
grammed in the radio preset pushbut-
ton.
CD Player
Pressing the top of the switch once
will go to the next track on the CD.
Pressing the bottom of the switch once
will go to the beginning of the current
track, or to the beginning of the pre-
vious track if it is within one second
after the current track begins to play.
If you press the switch up or down
twice, it plays the second track; three
times, it will play the third, etc.
The center button on the left side
rocker switch has no function for a
single-disc CD player. However, when
a multiple-disc CD player is equipped
on the vehicle, the center button will
select the next available CD in the
player.

OPERATION – 3.0L DIESEL
ENGINE
When the shift lever is in the DRIVE
position, the transmission will operate
automatically, shifting between the
five available gears. To engage
AutoStick®, simply move the shift le-
ver to the right or left (+/-) while in
the DRIVE position, or tap one of the
steering wheel-mounted shift paddles
(+/-), for versions/markets, where
provided. When AutoStick® is active,
the current transmission gear is dis-
played in the instrument cluster. In
AutoStick® mode, the transmission
will shift up or down when (+/-) is
manually selected by the driver (using
the shift lever, or the shift paddles [for
versions/markets, where provided]),
unless an engine lugging or overspeed
condition would result. It will remain
in the selected gear until another up-
shift or downshift is chosen, except as
described below.
 If AutoStick® is engaged while inDRIVE mode, the transmission will
automatically shift up when maxi-
mum engine speed is reached.  If AutoStick® is engaged while in
SPORT mode, the transmission will
remain in the selected gear even
when maximum engine speed is
reached. The transmission will up-
shift only when commanded by the
driver.
 The transmission will automati- cally downshift as the vehicle slows
down (to prevent engine lugging)
and will display the current gear.
 The transmission will automati- cally downshift to first gear when
coming to a stop. After a stop, the
driver should manually upshift (+)
the transmission as the vehicle is
accelerated.
 Heavily pressing the accelerator pedal will generate an automatic
downshift (for improved accelera-
tion) when reasonable.
 You can start out in first or second gear. Tapping (+) (at a stop) will
allow starting in second gear. Start-
ing out in second gear is helpful in
snowy or icy conditions.  The system will ignore attempts to
upshift at too low of a vehicle speed.
 Avoid using speed control when AutoStick® is engaged.
 Transmission shifting will be more crisp/abrupt when AutoStick® is
engaged.
To disengage AutoStick® mode, hold
the shift lever to the right or press and
hold the (+) shift paddle (for
versions/markets, where provided)
until “D” is once again displayed in
the instrument cluster. You can shift
in or out of the AutoStick® mode at
any time without taking your foot off
the accelerator pedal.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional en-
gine braking on a slippery surface.
The drive wheels could lose their
grip and the vehicle could skid,
causing a collision or personal in-
jury.
