ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
(ACC) — IF EQUIPPED
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the
driving convenience provided by cruise control
while traveling on highways and major road-
ways. However, it is not a safety system and not
designed to prevent collisions.
ACC will allow you to keep cruise control en-
gaged in light to moderate traffic conditions
without the constant need to reset your cruise
control. ACC utilizes a radar sensor and a
forward facing camera 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 vehicle ahead,
ACC will apply limited braking or accel-
eration (not to exceed the original set
speed) automatically to maintain a preset
following distance, while matching the
speed of the vehicle ahead.
WARNING!
•Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a conve-
nience system. It is not a substitute for
active driving involvement. It is always the
driver’s responsibility to be attentive of
road, traffic, and weather conditions, ve-
hicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead;
and, most importantly, brake operation to
ensure safe operation of the vehicle under
all road conditions. Your complete atten-
tion is always required while driving to
maintain safe control of your vehicle. Fail-
ure to follow these warnings can result in a
collision and death or serious personal
injury.
• The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, on-
coming vehicles, and stationary ob-
jects (e.g., a stopped vehicle in a
traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
•Cannot take street, traffic, and
weather conditions into account, and
may be limited upon adverse sight
distance conditions.
• Does not always fully recognize com-
plex driving conditions, which can
result in wrong or missing distance
warnings.
• Can only apply a maximum of 40% of
the vehicle’s braking capability, and
will not bring the vehicle to a com-
plete stop.

The ACC screen will display once again if any
ACC activity occurs, which may include any of
the following:
•Set Speed Change
• Distance Setting Change
• System Cancel
• Driver Override
• System Off
• ACC Proximity Warning
• ACC Unavailable Warning
• The EVIC will return to the last display se-
lected after five seconds of no ACC display
activity.
Display Warnings And Maintenance
“Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle”
Warning
The ACC “Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of Ve-
hicle” warning will display when conditions tem-
porarily limit system performance. This most often
occurs at times of poor visibility, such as in snow
or heavy rain. The ACC system may also become temporarily blinded due to obstructions, such as
mud, dirt or ice. In these cases, the EVIC will
display “Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle”
and the system will deactivate.
The “Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle”
message can sometimes be displayed while
driving in highly reflective areas (i.e. tunnels
with reflective tiles, or ice and snow). The ACC
system will recover after the vehicle has left
these areas. Under rare conditions, when the
radar is not tracking any vehicles or objects in
its path this warning may temporarily occur.
NOTE:
If the ACC “Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of
Vehicle” warning is active Normal (Fixed
Speed) Cruise Control is still available. For
additional information refer to “Normal
(Fixed Speed) Cruise Control Mode” in this
section.
If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver
should examine the sensor. It may require
cleaning or removal of an obstruction. The
sensor is located in the center of the vehicle
behind the lower grille.
To keep the ACC System operating properly, it
is important to note the following maintenance
items:
•
Always keep the sensor clean. Carefully wipe
the sensor lens with a soft cloth. Be cautious
not to damage the sensor lens.
• Do not remove any screws from the sensor.
Doing so could cause an ACC system mal-
function or failure and require a sensor
realignment.
• If the sensor is damaged due to a collision,
see your authorized dealer for service.

WARNING!(Continued)
detect the ball mount and hitch ball assem-
bly, depending on its size and shape,
giving a false indication that an obstacle is
behind the vehicle.
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)
Green 3 ft or greater (1 m or greater)

POWER SUNROOF — IF
EQUIPPED

the sun visors on the overhead console.
WARNING!
•
Never leave children unattended in a ve-
hicle, and do not leave the key in the ignition
switch (or leave the ignition of a vehicle
equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the
ACC or ON/Run position). Occupants, par-
ticularly unattended children, can become
entrapped by the power sunroof while oper-
ating the power sunroof switch. Such entrap-
ment may result in serious injury or death.
•In a collision, there is a greater risk of
being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof. You could also be seriously in-
jured or killed. Always fasten your seat belt
properly and make sure all passengers are
also properly secured.
•
Do not allow small children to operate the
sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other
body parts, or any object, to project through
the sunroof opening. Injury may result.

one-half second. The sunroof and sunshade will
open automatically from any position. The sun-
roof and sunshade will open fully and stop
automatically. This is called “Express Open”.
During Express Open operation, any movement
of the sunroof switch will stop the sunroof.
Opening Sunroof — Manual ModeTo open the sunroof, press and hold the switch
rearward to full open. Any release of the switch
will stop the movement. The sunroof and sun-
shade will remain in a partially opened condition
until the switch is pushed and held rearward
again.

sunroof is detected, the sunroof will automati-
cally retract. Remove the obstruction if this
occurs. Next, press the switch forward and
release to Express Close.
NOTE:
If three consecutive sunroof close attempts
result in Pinch Protect reversals, the fourth
close attempt will be a Manual Close move-
ment with Pinch Protect disabled.
Venting Sunroof — ExpressPress and release the Vent button within one
half second and the sunroof will open to the
vent position. This is called “Express Vent”, and
it will occur regardless of sunroof position. Dur-
ing Express Vent operation, any movement of
the switch will stop the sunroof.
Sunshade OperationThe sunshade can be opened manually. How-
ever, the sunshade will open automatically as
the sunroof opens.
NOTE:
The sunshade cannot be closed if the sun-
roof is open.
Wind BuffetingWind buffeting can be described as the percep-
tion of pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type
sound in the ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind
buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof
(if equipped) in certain open or partially openpositions. This is a normal occurrence and can
be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the
rear windows open, open the front and rear
windows together to minimize the buffeting. If
the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open,
adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the
buffeting or open any window.
Sunroof MaintenanceUse only a nonabrasive cleaner and a soft cloth
to clean the glass panel.
Ignition OFF OperationThe power sunroof switches remain active for
up to approximately ten minutes after the igni-
tion switch has been turned OFF. Opening
either front door will cancel this feature. The
time is programmable. Refer to “Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC)/Personal Set-
tings (Customer-Programmable Features)” in
“Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for fur-
ther information.
