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.
Clean Radar Sensor Warning
126

•Do not attach or install any accessories near
the sensor, including transparent material or
aftermarket grilles. Doing so could cause an
ACC system failure or malfunction.
When the condition that deactivated the system
is no longer present, the system will return to
the “Adaptive Cruise Control Off” state and will
resume function by simply reactivating it.
NOTE:
• If the “Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of
Vehicle” message occurs frequently
(e.g. more than once on every trip) with-
out any snow, rain, mud, or other obstruc-
tion, have the radar sensor realigned at
your authorized dealer.
•
Installing a snow plow, front-end protector,
an aftermarket grille or modifying the grille
is not recommended. Doing so may block
the sensor and inhibit ACC operation.
Removing ACC Sensor For Off-Roading
NOTE:
When off-roading, it may be advisable to
remove the ACC sensor. The sensor is lo-
cated behind the front lower grille in the
center of the vehicle. After removing the
lower fascia, you may remove the lower
sensor and bracket assembly.
To remove the sensor follow these instructions:
1. Unplug the connector by depressing the two
tabs on the connector and pulling it out. Do not
pull by the wiring or use any tools to remove the
connector.
2. Remove the wiring christmas tree attach-
ment from the back of the bracket.
3. Remove the two M6 fasteners that connect
the bracket to the bumper.
NOTE:
Do not change the adjustment fasteners or
pull the sensor off of the bracket. Doing so
may misalign the sensor. Store the sensor and bracket assembly in a
safe location. The wiring and connector must be
stowed properly after the sensor and bracket
assembly is removed.
A connector plug is stowed on top of the bumper
beam. Insert the wiring connector into the con-
nector plug.
NOTE:
When the sensor is removed, Adaptive Cruise
Control, Normal Cruise Control, and Forward
Collision Warning will not be available. The
cluster will display the warning “ACC/FCW
Unavailable - Service Radar Sensor.”
To reinstall the sensor and bracket assembly
reverse the process above. The fastener torque
required to assembly the bracket back to the
beam is 6.6 ft lbs (9 N·m).

ACC 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 ACC functionality. Although the vehicle is
still drivable under normal conditions, ACC will
be temporarily unavailable. If this occurs, try
activating ACC again later, following a key
cycle. If the problem persists, see your autho-
rized dealer.
Service ACC 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.
Precautions While Driving With ACCIn certain driving situations, ACC may have
detection issues. In these cases, ACC may
brake late or unexpectedly. The driver needs to
stay alert and may need to intervene.Adding A Trailer Hitch
The weight of a trailer/hitch may affect the
performance of ACC. If there is a noticeable
change in performance following the installation
of a trailer/hitch, or if the ACC performance does
not return to normal after removing the trailer/
hitch see your authorized dealer.
Offset Driving
ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane
that is offset from your direct line of travel, or a
vehicle merging in from a side lane. There may
not be sufficient distance to the vehicle ahead.
The offset vehicle may move in and out of the
line of travel, which can cause your vehicle to
brake or accelerate unexpectedly.
Turns And Bends
When driving on a curve with ACC engaged, the
system may decrease the vehicle speed and
acceleration for stability reasons, with no target
vehicle detected. Once the vehicle is out of the
curve the system will resume your original Set
Speed. This is a part of normal ACC system
functionality.
NOTE:
On tight turns ACC performance may be
limited.
128

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.

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.
ParkSense® System Usage
Precautions
NOTE:
•
Ensure that the front and rear bumper are
free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to
keep the ParkSense® system operating
properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vi-
brations could affect the performance of
ParkSense®.
• When you turn ParkSense® off, the in-
strument cluster will display “PARK AS-
SIST SYSTEM OFF.” Furthermore, once
you turn ParkSense® off, it remains off
until you turn it on again, even if you cycle
the ignition key.
• When you move the shift lever to the
REVERSE position and ParkSense is
turned off, the instrument cluster will dis-
play “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF” mes-
sage for as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE.
137

•ParkSense®, when on, will MUTE the ra-
dio when it is sounding a tone.
• Clean the ParkSense® sensors regularly,
taking care not to scratch or damage
them. The sensors must not be covered
with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt or debris.
Failure to do so can result in the system
not working properly. The ParkSense®
system might not detect an obstacle be-
hind or in front of the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication that an
obstacle is behind or in front of the
fascia/bumper.
•
Objects such as bicycle carriers, trailer
hitches, etc., must not be placed within
12 in (30 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper
while driving the vehicle. Failure to do so
can result in the system misinterpreting a
close object as a sensor problem, causing
the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM”
message to be displayed in the instrument
cluster.
• On vehicles equipped with a tailgate,
ParkSense® should be disabled when the
tailgate is in the lowered or open position.
A lowered tailgate could provide a false
indication that an obstacle is behind the
vehicle.
CAUTION!
•ParkSense® is only a parking aid and it is
unable to recognize every obstacle, includ-
ing small obstacles. Parking curbs might
be temporarily detected or not detected at
all. Obstacles located above or below the
sensors will not be detected when they are
in close proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly when
using ParkSense® in order to be able to
stop in time when an obstacle is detected.
When backing up, it is recommended that
the driver looks over his/her shoulder
when using ParkSense®.
WARNING!
•Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using the ParkSense® Park
Assist system. Always check carefully be-
hind your vehicle, look behind you, and be
sure to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and blind
spots before backing up. You are respon-
sible for safety and must continue to pay
attention to your surroundings. Failure to
do so can result in serious injury or death.
• Before using the ParkSense® Park Assist
system, it is strongly recommended that
the ball mount and hitch ball assembly is
disconnected from the vehicle when the
vehicle is not used for towing. Failure to do
so can result in injury or damage to ve-
hicles or obstacles because the hitch ball
will be much closer to the obstacle than the
rear fascia when the warning display turns
on the single flashing arc and sounds the
continuous tone. Also, the sensors could

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
DESCRIPTIONS
1. Tachometer
Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per
minute (RPM x 1000).
2. Air Bag Warning LightThis light will turn on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb check
when the ignition switch is first
turned to the ON/RUN position. If
the light is either not on during
starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have
the system inspected at an authorized dealer as
soon as possible. Refer to “Occupant Re-
straints” in “Things To Know Before Starting
Your Vehicle” for further information. 3. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
is part of an onboard diagnostic sys-
tem called OBD II that monitors en-
gine and automatic transmission con-
trol systems. The light will illuminate when the
key is in the ON/RUN position before engine
start. If the bulb does not come on when turning
the key from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condi-
tion checked promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing
gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate
the light after engine start. The vehicle should
be serviced if the light stays on through several
of your typical driving cycles. In most situations,
the vehicle will drive normally and will not
require towing.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indi-
cator Light (MIL) on could cause damage to
the engine control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the MIL is
flashing, severe catalytic converter damage
and power loss will soon occur. Immediate
service is required.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as ref-
erenced above, can reach higher tempera-
tures than in normal operating conditions.
This can cause a fire if you drive slowly or
park over flammable substances such as dry
plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This could re-
sult in death or serious injury to the driver,
occupants or others.
