Stationary Objects And Vehicles
ACC does not react to stationary objects and
stationary vehicles. For example, ACC will not
react in situations where the vehicle you are
following exits your lane and the vehicle ahead
is stopped in your lane. Always be attentive and
ready to apply the brakes if necessary.General Information

Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise
Control Mode
In addition to Adaptive Cruise Control mode, a
normal (fixed speed) Cruise Control mode is
available for cruising at fixed speeds. The nor-
mal Cruise Control mode is designed to main-
tain a set cruising speed without requiring the
driver to operate the accelerator. Cruise Control
can only be operated if the vehicle speed is
above 20 mph (32 km/h).
To change between the different cruise modes,
press the MODE button when the system is in
either the OFF, READY or SET state. Pressing
of the MODE button in any state will result in
changing to the new Mode in the OFF state.
WARNING!
In the normal Cruise Control mode, the sys-
tem will not react to vehicles ahead. In
addition, the proximity warning does not ac-
tivate and no alarm will sound even if you are
too close to the vehicle ahead since neither
the presence of the vehicle ahead nor the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance is detected. Be
sure to maintain a safe distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Always
be aware which mode is selected.
To Set A Desired Speed
When the vehicle reaches the speed desired,
press the SET -button and release. The EVIC
will display the set speed.
NOTE:
You must observe the display when setting
or changing speed, not the speedometer.
130

To Vary The Speed Setting
There are two ways to change the set speed:
•
Use the accelerator pedal to adjust the vehicle
to the desired speed and press the SET-
button.
•Tap the RES +or SET -button to increase or
decrease the set speed in 1 mph (1.6 km/h)
increments respectively. Hold the RES +or
SET -button for 5 mph (8 km/h) increments.
To Cancel
The system will disable normal Cruise Control
without erasing the memory if:
• You softly tap or depress the brake pedal.
• You press the CANCEL button.
• The Electronic Stability Control/Traction Con-
trol System (ESC/TCS) activates.
To Resume
Press the RES +button and then remove your
foot from the accelerator pedal. The EVIC will
display the last set speed. To Turn Off
The system will turn off and erase the set speed
in memory if:
•
You push the Normal Fixed Speed ON/OFF
button.
• You turn off the ignition.
• You engage Four-Wheel Drive Low.
Forward Collision Warning — If
Equipped
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
provides the driver with audible and visual
warnings (within the EVIC) when it detects a
potential frontal collision. The warnings are in-
tended to provide the driver with enough time to
react and avoid the potential 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 collision. 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 collision with the vehicle in front of you is no longer probable, the warning
message will be deactivated.
NOTE:
•
The minimum speed for FCW activation is
10 mph (16 km/h).
• When entering or driving in a curve, the
FCW alerts may be triggered on objects
other than vehicles such as guard rails or
sign posts based on the course predic-
tion. This is expected and is a part of
normal FCW activation and functionality.
FCW Message
131

WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not in-
tended to avoid a collision on its own, nor
can FCW detect every type of potential col-
lision. The driver has the responsibility to
avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle via
braking and steering. Failure to follow this
warning could lead to serious injury or death.
Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature can be set to far, set to near or
turned off in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) refer to “Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further information. The
FCW Status Off, Near or Far will be displayed in
the EVIC.
FCW settings can only be changed when the
vehicle is in PARK. 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” setting, which al-
lows for a more dynamic driving experience.

132

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 dis-
played in the EVIC.NOTE:
•
The system will retain the last setting
selected by the driver after ignition shut
down.
• FCW will not react to irrelevant objects
such as overhead objects, ground reflec-
tions, objects not in the path of the car,
stationary objects that are far away, on-
coming traffic, or leading vehicles with
the same or higher rate of speed.
• FCW will be disabled like ACC below with
the unavailable screens. FCW Unavailable Warning
If the system turns off, and the EVIC displays
“ACC/FCW Unavailable, Vehicle System Error”,
there may be a temporary malfunction that
limits FCW functionality. Although the vehicle is
still drivable under normal conditions, FCW will
be temporarily unavailable. If this occurs, try
activating FCW again later, following a key
cycle. If the problem persists, see your autho-
rized dealer.
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the EVIC displays
“ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Radar Sen-
sor”, it indicates there is an internal system fault.
Although the vehicle is still drivable under nor-
mal conditions, have the system checked by an
authorized dealer.

PARKSENSE® FRONT AND
REAR PARK ASSIST — IF
EQUIPPED
The ParkSense® Park Assist system provides
visual and audible indications of the distance
between the rear and/or front fascia and a
detected obstacle when backing up or moving
forward, e.g. during a parking maneuver. Refer
to ParkSense® System Usage Precautions for
limitations of this system and recommenda-
tions.
ParkSense® will retain the last system state
(enabled or disabled) from the last ignition cycle
when the ignition is changed to the ON/RUN
position.
ParkSense® can be active only when the shift
lever is in REVERSE or DRIVE. If ParkSense®
is enabled at one of these shift lever positions,
the system will remain active until the vehicle
speed is increased to approximately 7 mph
(11 km/h) or above. The system will become
active again if the vehicle speed is decreased to
speeds less than approximately 6 mph (9 km/h).
ParkSense® SensorsThe four ParkSense® sensors, located in the
rear fascia/bumper, monitor the area behind the
vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view.
The sensors can detect obstacles from approxi-
mately 12 in (30 cm) up to 59 in (150 cm) from
the rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal direc-
tion, depending on the location, type and orien-
tation of the obstacle.
The six ParkSense® sensors, located in the
front fascia/bumper, monitor the area in front of
the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of
view. The sensors can detect obstacles from
approximately 12 in (30 cm) up to 47 in (120 cm)
from the front fascia/bumper in the horizontal
direction, depending on the location, type and
orientation of the obstacle.
ParkSense® Warning DisplayThe ParkSense® Warning screen will only be
displayed if Sound and Display is selected from
the Customer-Programmable Features section
of the Electronic Vehicle Information Center(EVIC). Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)/Personal Settings (Customer-
Programmable Features)” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
The ParkSense® Warning Display is located in
the Instrument cluster’s EVIC display. It pro-
vides both visual and audible warnings to indi-
cate the distance between the rear fascia/
bumper and/or front fascia/bumper and the
detected obstacle.
ParkSense® Warning Display

ParkSense® DisplayThe warning display will turn ON indicating the
system status when the vehicle is in REVERSE
or when the vehicle is in DRIVE and an obstacle
has been detected.
The system will indicate a detected obstacle by
showing three solid arcs and will produce a
one-half second tone. As the vehicle moves
closer to the object the EVIC display will show
fewer arcs and the sound tone will change from
slow, to fast, to continuous.The vehicle is close to the obstacle when the
EVIC display shows one flashing arc and
sounds a continuous tone. The following chart
shows the warning alert operation when the
system is detecting an obstacle:

Service The ParkSense® Park Assist
System
When the ParkSense Park Assist System is
malfunctioning, the instrument cluster will actu-
ate a single chime, once per ignition cycle, and
it will display the “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SEN-
SORS” or the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYS-
TEM” message. The instrument cluster will dis-
play the “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS”
message when any of the rear or front sensors
are blocked by snow, mud, or ice. The instru-
ment cluster will display the “SERVICE PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM” message when any of the
rear or front sensors are damaged and require
service.
When the shift lever is moved to REVERSE or
DRIVE and the system has detected a faulted
condition, the EVIC will display the “CLEAN
PARK ASSIST SENSORS” or the “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message for appro-
priately five seconds. Then, when the shift lever
is moved to REVERSE, the EVIC will display
the “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF” message foras long as the vehicle is in REVERSE. Under
this condition ParkSense will not operate. Refer
to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
If the “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” mes-
sage appears in the Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC) make sure the outer surface
and the underside of the rear fascia/bumper
and/or front fascia/bumper is clean and clear of
snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction and
then cycle the ignition. If the message continues
to appear, see an authorized dealer.
If the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” mes-
sage appears in the EVIC, see an authorized
dealer.
Cleaning The ParkSense® SystemClean the ParkSense® sensors with water, car
wash soap and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or
hard cloths. Do not scratch or poke the sensors.
Otherwise, you could damage the sensors.
