9-40 Driving and Operating
To begin using ACC again, move
the control up toward +RES briefly.
The vehicle returns to the previous
set speed.
Increasing Speed While ACC is at
a Set Speed
If ACC is already activated, do one
of the following:
.Use the accelerator to get to the
higher speed. Move the control
toward SET–, then release it and
the accelerator pedal. The
vehicle will now cruise at the
higher speed.
When the accelerator pedal is
pressed, ACC will not brake
because it is overridden.
A warning message will appear
on the Driver Information Center
(DIC). SeeCruise Control
Messages on page 5‑31.
.Move the control toward +RES
and hold until the desired set
speed appears on the display,
then release it.
.To increase vehicle speed in
small amounts, move the control
toward +RES and then release
it. Each time this is done, the
vehicle goes 1.6 km/h (1 mph)
faster.
When it is determined that there is
no vehicle in front of your vehicle
slower than the set speed, then the
vehicle speed will increase to the
set speed.
Reducing Speed While ACC is at a
Set Speed
If ACC is already activated, do one
of the following:
.Use the brake to get to the
desired lower speed. Move the
control toward SET– and release
the accelerator pedal. The
vehicle will now cruise at the
lower speed.
.Move the control toward
SET− and hold until the desired
lower speed is reached, then
release it.
.To decrease the vehicle speed in
small amounts, move the control
toward SET− briefly. Each time
this is done, the vehicle goes
about 1.6 km/h (1 mph) slower.
Selecting the Follow Distance
When a slower moving vehicle is
detected ahead, ACC will adjust the
vehicle's speed and attempt to
maintain the follow distance gap
selected.
Press
3on the steering wheel to
adjust the following gap. Each press
cycles the gap button through three
settings: Far, Medium, or Near.
When pressed, the current gap
setting displays briefly on the
instrument cluster. The gap setting
will be maintained until it is
changed.

Driving and Operating 9-41
Since each gap setting corresponds
to a following time (Far, Medium,
or Near), the following distance will
vary based on vehicle speed. The
faster the vehicle speed, the further
back your vehicle will follow a
vehicle detected ahead. Consider
traffic and weather conditions when
selecting the following gap. The
range of selectable gaps may not be
appropriate for all drivers and
driving conditions.
Changing the gap setting
automatically changes the alert
timing sensitivity (Far, Medium,
or Near) for the Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) feature. SeeForward
Collision Alert (FCA) System on
page 9‑50. Alerting the Driver
If ACC is engaged driver action may
be required when:
.ACC cannot apply sufficient
braking because of approaching
a vehicle too rapidly.
.A temporary condition prohibits
ACC from operating. See
Vehicle Messages on page 5‑30.
.A malfunction is detected in the
system. See
Vehicle Messages
on page 5‑30. When any of these conditions occur,
a series of red collision alert lights
will flash on the windshield. Either
eight beeps will sound from the
front, or both sides of the Safety
Alert Seat will pulse five times.
See
“Collision/Detection Systems”
under Vehicle Personalization on
page 5‑40.
See Defensive Driving on page 9‑3.
Approaching and Following a
Vehicle
The vehicle ahead symbol is located
in the instrument cluster.
The vehicle ahead symbol only
displays when a vehicle is detected
in your vehicle’s path.

9-48 Driving and Operating
Use caution while changing lanes
when towing a trailer, as the RCTA
detection zones that extend out
from the back of the vehicle do not
move further back when a trailer is
towed.
With URPA, as the vehicle backs
up at speeds of less than 8 km/h
(5 mph), the sensors on the rear
bumper detect objects up to 2.5 m
(8 ft) behind the vehicle that are
within a zone 25 cm (10 in) high off
the ground and below bumper level.
{WARNING
The parking assist system does
not detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
located below the bumper or that
are too close or too far from the
vehicle. It is not available at
speeds greater than 8 km/h
(5 mph). To prevent injury, death,
or vehicle damage, even with
parking assist, always check the(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
area around the vehicle and
check all mirrors before moving
forward or backing.
The instrument cluster parking
assist display has bars that show
“distance to object”and object
location information for URPA, and
on some vehicles, for the Front
Parking Assist system. As the object
gets closer, more bars light up.
When an object is first detected in
the rear, one beep will be heard
from the rear, or both sides of the
Safety Alert Seat will pulse two
times. When an object is very close (<0.6 m (2 ft) in the vehicle rear,
or <0.3 m (1 ft) in the vehicle front),
five beeps will sound from the rear
or front, or both sides of the Safety
Alert Seat will pulse five times.
Beeps for Front Parking Assist are
higher pitched than for Rear Parking
Assist.
Vehicles with Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) have the Backing
Warning System, which is designed
to help avoid or reduce the harm
caused by backing crashes. The
system can warn of rear objects
when backing up at speeds greater
than 8 km/h (5 mph).
The Backing Warning System will
beep once from the rear when a
potential object threat is first
detected, or pulse twice on both
sides of the Safety Alert Seat. When
the system detects a potential
imminent crash, beeps will be heard
from the rear, or five pulses will be
felt on both sides of the Safety Alert
Seat. There may also be a brief,
sharp application of the brakes.

9-58 Driving and Operating
When the vehicle is started, the
LDW indicator on the instrument
cluster will come on briefly.
If LDW is on and the vehicle is
traveling at 56 km/h (35 mph) or
greater, the LDW indicator will
appear green if the system detects
a left or right lane marking. If the
vehicle crosses a detected lane
marking without using the turn
signal, this indicator will change to
amber and flash. In addition, three
beeps will be sounded from the left
or right speaker, or the Safety Alert
Seat will pulse three times on either
the left or right side of the seat,
depending on the lane departure
direction.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
If the system is on and the vehicle
speed is 56 km/h (35 mph) or
greater, and the LDW symbol does
not appear:
.The lane markings on the road
may not be seen.
.The camera sensor may be
blocked by dirt, snow, or ice.
.The weather may be limiting
visibility.
This is normal operation; the vehicle
does not need service.
If the LDW camera system does not
seem to operate properly, cleaning
the outside of the windshield in front
of the camera sensor may correct
the issue.
A damaged windshield can also
impact the performance of the
system. If the windshield is
damaged, it should be replaced. Lane markings may not be detected
on curves, highway exit ramps,
or hills; or due to poor visibility.
{WARNING
If the LDW camera sensor is
blocked by dirt, snow, or ice,
or if the headlamps are not
cleaned or properly aimed,
or if the windshield is dirty or
damaged, it may not detect the
lanes ahead. LDW may not help
avoid a crash under these
conditions. Keep the headlamps
cleaned and properly aimed and
the windshield clean.
LDW warnings may occur due to tar
marks, shadows, cracks in the road,
or other road imperfections. This is
normal system operation; the
vehicle does not need service.

Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation
This vehicle may have a Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
The TPMS is designed to warn the
driver when a low tire pressure
condition exists. TPMS sensors are
mounted onto each tire and wheel
assembly, excluding the spare tire
and wheel assembly. The TPMS
sensors monitor the air pressure in
the tires and transmits the tire
pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
When a low tire pressure condition
is detected, the TPMS illuminates
the low tire pressure warning light
on the instrument cluster. If the
warning light comes on, stop as
soon as possible and inflate the
tires to the recommended pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label. See Vehicle Load
Limits on page 9‑10.
A message to check the pressure in
a specific tire displays in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). The low
tire pressure warning light and the
DIC warning message come on at
each ignition cycle until the tires
are inflated to the correct inflation
pressure. Using the DIC, tire
pressure levels can be viewed. For additional information and
details about the DIC operation and
displays see
Driver Information
Center (DIC) on page 5‑27.
The low tire pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as the vehicle is driven. This
could be an early indicator that the
air pressure is getting low and
needs to be inflated to the proper
pressure.
A Tire and Loading Information
label, attached to your vehicle,
shows the size of the original
equipment tires and the correct
inflation pressure for the tires when
they are cold. See Vehicle Load
Limits on page 9‑10, for an example
of the Tire and Loading Information
label and its location. Also see Tire
Pressure on page 10‑51.

10-92 Vehicle Care
Underbody Maintenance
Use plain water to flush dirt and
debris from the vehicle's underbody.
Your dealer or an underbody car
washing system can do this. If not
removed, rust and corrosion can
develop.
Sheet Metal Damage
If the vehicle is damaged and
requires sheet metal repair or
replacement, make sure the body
repair shop applies anti-corrosion
material to parts repaired or
replaced to restore corrosion
protection.
Original manufacturer replacement
parts will provide the corrosion
protection while maintaining the
vehicle warranty.
Finish Damage
Quickly repair minor chips and
scratches with touch-up materials
available from your dealer to avoid
corrosion. Larger areas of finish
damage can be corrected in your
dealer's body and paint shop.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Airborne pollutants can fall upon
and attack painted vehicle surfaces
causing blotchy, ring-shaped
discolorations, and small, irregular
dark spots etched into the paint
surface.
Interior Care
To prevent dirt particle abrasions,
regularly clean the vehicle's interior.
Immediately remove any soils. Note
that newspapers or dark garments
that can transfer color to home
furnishings can also permanently
transfer color to the vehicle's
interior.Use a soft bristle brush to remove
dust from knobs and crevices on the
instrument cluster. Using a mild
soap solution, immediately remove
hand lotions, sunscreen, and insect
repellent from all interior surfaces or
permanent damage may result.
Your dealer may have products for
cleaning the interior. Use cleaners
specifically designed for the
surfaces being cleaned to prevent
permanent damage. Apply all
cleaners directly to the cleaning
cloth. Do not spray cleaners directly
on any switches or controls.
Cleaners should be removed
quickly. Never allow cleaners to
remain on the surface being
cleaned for extended periods
of time.
Cleaners may contain solvents that
can become concentrated in the
interior. Before using cleaners, read
and adhere to all safety instructions
on the label. While cleaning the
interior, maintain adequate
ventilation by opening the doors and
windows.
