PARKVIEW® REAR BACK UP
CAMERA — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with the
ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera that allows you
to see an on-screen image of the rear surround-
ings of your vehicle whenever the shift lever is put
into REVERSE. The image will be displayed on
the Navigation/Multimedia radio display screen
along with a caution note to “check entire sur-
roundings” across the top of the screen. After five
seconds this note will disappear. The ParkView®
camera is located on the rear of the vehicle above
the rear License plate.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE,
the rear camera mode is exited and the naviga-
tion or audio screen appears again.
When displayed, static grid lines will illustrate
the width of the vehicle while a dashed center-
line will indicate the center of the vehicle to
assist with aligning to a hitch/receiver. The static
grid lines will show separate zones that will help
indicate the distance to the rear of the vehicle.
The following table shows the approximate dis-
tances for each zone:
ZoneDistance to the rear of the vehicle
Red 0-1ft(0-30cm)
Yellow 1 ft-3ft(30cm-1m)

•Power Steering System Over Temp — If
Equipped
If the “POWER STEERING SYS-
TEM OVER TEMP” message and
a icon are displayed on the EVIC
screen, it indicates that extreme
steering maneuvers may have oc-
curred, which caused an over tem-
perature condition in the power steering sys-
tem. You will lose power steering assistance
momentarily until the over temperature condi-
tion no longer exists. Once driving conditions
are safe, then pull over and let vehicle idle. After
five minutes, the system will cool and return to
normal operation. Refer to “Power Steering” in
“Starting and Operating” for further information.
NOTE:
•
Even if power steering assistance is no
longer operational, it is still possible to
steer the vehicle. Under these conditions
there will be a substantial increase in steer-
ing effort, especially at very low vehicle
speeds and during parking maneuvers.
• If the condition persists, see your autho-
rized dealer for service.

Forward Collision Warning — If EquippedThe Forward Collision Warning (FCW) feature
can be can be set to Far, set to Near or turned Off.
The default status of FCW is the Far setting. This
means the system will 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. To change the setting for more dynamic
driving select the Near setting. This warns you of
a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you
when you are much closer. This allows for a more
dynamic driving experience. To change FCW sta-
tus press and release the SELECT button until a
check-mark appears next to the feature showing
the system has been activated or the check-mark
is removed showing the system has been deacti-
vated.
For further information, refer to ”Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC)” in “Understanding The
Features Of Your Vehicle.”Park Assist System — If Equipped
The Rear Park Assist system will scan for
objects behind the vehicle when the transmis-
sion is in the REVERSE position and the vehicle
speed is less than 11 mph (18 km/h). The
system can be enabled with Sound Only or
Sound and Display. To make your selection,
scroll up or down until the preferred setting is
highlighted, then press and release the SE-
LECT button until a check-mark appears next to
the setting, showing that the setting has been
selected. Refer to “Rear Park Assist System” in
“Understanding The Features Of Your Vehicle”
for system function and operating information.
Blind Spot Alert — If Equipped
There are three selections when operating Blind
Spot Alert. By pressing and releasing the SE-
LECT button once, the Blind Spot Alert feature
can be activated in “Blind Spot: Lights Only”
mode. When this mode is selected the Blind
Spot Monitor (BSM) system is activated and will
only show a visual alert in the outside mirrors.
By pressing and releasing the SELECT button a
second time “Blind Spot: Lights/CHM” mode is
activated. In this mode the Blind Spot Monitor(BSM) will show a visual alert in the outside
mirrors as well as an audible alert when the turn
signal is on. When “Blind Spot: Off” is selected
the Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) system is deacti-
vated.
NOTE:
If your vehicle has experienced any damage
in the area where the sensor is located, even
if the fascia is not damaged, the sensor may
have become misaligned. Take your vehicle
to an authorized dealer to verify sensor
alignment. Having a sensor that is mis-
aligned will result in the BSM not operating
to specification.

•After extended operation in mud, sand, wa-
ter, or similar dirty conditions, have the radia-
tor, fan, brake rotors, wheels, brake linings,
and axle yokes inspected and cleaned as
soon as possible.
WARNING!
Abrasive material in any part of the brakes
may cause excessive wear or unpredictable
braking. You might not have full braking
power when you need it to prevent a colli-
sion. If you have been operating your vehicle
in dirty conditions, get your brakes checked
and cleaned as necessary.
• If you experience unusual vibration after driv-
ing in mud, slush or similar conditions, check
the wheels for impacted material. Impacted
material can cause a wheel imbalance and
freeing the wheels of it will correct the
situation.
FUEL SAVER TECHNOLOGY
5.7L ENGINE ONLY – IF
EQUIPPED
This feature offers improved fuel economy by
shutting off four of the engine’s eight cylinders
during light load and cruise conditions. The
system is automatic with no driver inputs or
additional driving skills required.
NOTE:
This system may take some time to return to
full functionality after a battery disconnect.
POWER STEERING
3.6L And 5.7L EngineThe 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 inter-
rupted, it will still be possible to steer your
vehicle. Under these conditions, you will ob-
serve a substantial increase in steering effort,
especially at very low vehicle speeds and dur-
ing parking maneuvers.
NOTE:
•
Increased noise levels at the end of the
steering wheel travel are considered nor-
mal 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.
248

WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced power
steering assist could pose a safety risk to
yourself and others. Service should be ob-
tained as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
Prolonged operation of the steering system
at the end of the steering wheel travel will
increase the steering fluid temperature and it
should be avoided when possible. Damage
to the power steering pump may occur.
3.0L Diesel EngineYour vehicle is equipped with an electro-
hydraulic power steering system that will give
you good vehicle response and increased ease
of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system
will vary its assist to provide light efforts while
parking and good feel while driving. If theelectro-hydraulic power steering system experi-
ences a fault that prevents it from providing
power steering assist, then the system will
provide mechanical steering capability.
CAUTION!
Extreme steering maneuvers may cause the
electrically driven pump to reduce or stop
power steering assistance in order to prevent
damage to the system. Normal operation will
resume once the system is allowed to cool.
If the “SERVICE POWER STEER-
ING SYSTEM” message and a
flashing icon are displayed on the
EVIC screen, it indicates that the
vehicle needs to be taken to the
dealer for service. It is likely the
vehicle has lost power steering assistance. Re-
fer to “Electronic Vehicle Information (EVIC)” in
“Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for fur-
ther information. If the “POWER STEERING SYSTEM OVER
TEMP” message and an icon are displayed on
the EVIC screen, it indicates that extreme steer-
ing maneuvers may have occurred, which
caused an over temperature condition in the
power steering system. You will lose power
steering assistance momentarily until the over
temperature condition no longer exists. Once
driving conditions are safe, then pull over and
let vehicle idle for a few moments until the light
turns off. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
NOTE:
•
Even if power steering assistance is no
longer operational, it is still possible to
steer the vehicle. Under these conditions
there will be a substantial increase in steer-
ing effort, especially at very low vehicle
speeds and during parking maneuvers.
•
If the condition persists, see your autho-
rized dealer for service.
