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 Vehicle” warning will dis-
play when conditions temporarily 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 tempo-
rarily 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 re-
flective areas (i.e. tunnels with reflec-
tive tiles, or ice and snow). The ACC
system will recover after the vehicle
has left these areas. Under rare condi-
tions, 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” warn-
ing 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. Care-fully 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 malfunction or failure
and require a sensor realignment.
 If the sensor is damaged due to a collision, see your authorized dealer
for service.
Do not attach or install any accesso-
ries near the sensor, including trans-
parent 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 Con-
trol Off” state and will resume function
by simply reactivating it.NOTE: Installing a vehicle front-
end protector or an aftermarket
grille or modifying the grille is not
recommended. Doing so may
block the sensor and inhibit ACC
operation.
ACC Unavailable Warning
If the system turns off, and the EVIC
displays “Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) Unavailable”, there may be a
temporary malfunction that limits
ACC functionality. Although the ve-
hicle is still drivable under normal
conditions, ACC will be temporarily
unavailable. If this occurs, try activat-
ing ACC again later, following a key
cycle. If the problem persists, see your
authorized dealer. PRECAUTIONS WHILE
DRIVING WITH ACC
In certain driving situations, ACC
may have detection issues. In these
cases, ACC may brake late or unex-
pectedly. The driver needs to stay
alert and may need to intervene.
Adding A Trailer Hitch
The weight of a trailer/hitch may af-
fect 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.

WARNING (for versions/
markets, where provided)
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
warns the driver of a potential colli-
sion with the vehicle in front of you
and prompts the driver to take action
in order to avoid the 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 colli-
sion. 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 colli-
sion with the vehicle in front of you is
no longer probable, the warning mes-
sage will be deactivated.
NOTE: The minimum speed for
FCW activation is 16 km/h.

PARKSENSE® PARK
ASSIST
The ParkSense® Park Assist system
provides visual and audible indica-
tions of the distance between the rear
and/or front fascia and a detected ob-
stacle when backing up or moving
forward, e.g. during a parking ma-
neuver. Refer to ParkSense® System
Usage Precautions for limitations of
this system and recommendations.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 ve-
hicle speed is increased to approxi-
mately 11 km/h or above. The system
will become active again if the vehicle
speed is decreased to speeds less than
approximately 9 km/h.
PARKSENSE® SENSORS
The 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 up to approxi-
mately 150 cm from the rear fascia/
bumper in the horizontal direction,
depending on the location, type and
orientation 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 up to
approximately 120 cm from the front
fascia/bumper in the horizontal direc-
tion, depending on the location, type
and orientation of the obstacle.PARKSENSE® WARNING
DISPLAY
The ParkSense® Warning screen will
only be displayed if Sound and Dis-
play is selected from the Uconnect
Touch™ System. Refer to “Uconnect
Touch™ Settings” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
The ParkSense® Warning screen is
located within the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC). It pro-
vides visual warnings to indicate the

ParkSense® can be enabled and dis-
abled using the Uconnect Touch™ Sys-
tem. The available choices are: Off,
Sound Only, or Sound and Display.
Refer to “Uconnect Touch™ Settings”
in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
When the ParkSense® soft-key is
pressed to disable the system, the
EVIC will display the “PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM OFF” message for approxi-
mately five seconds. Refer to “Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further informa-
tion. When the shift lever is moved to
REVERSE position and ParkSense®
is turned off, the instrument cluster
will display “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
OFF” message for as long as the
vehicle is in REVERSE at or below
11 km/h. SERVICE THE
PARKSENSE® PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM
When the ParkSense® Park Assist
System is malfunctioning, the instru-
ment cluster will actuate a single
chime, once per ignition cycle. The
instrument cluster will display the
“CLEAN PARK ASSIST” message
when any of the rear or front sensor(s)
are blocked by snow, mud, or ice and
the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE
or DRIVE. The instrument cluster
will display the “SERVICE PARK
ASSIST” 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
136

the system has detected a faulted con-
dition, the EVIC will display the
“CLEAN PARK ASSIST”, “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST” or the “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message for
as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE
or DRIVE (at speeds less than
11 km/h). Under this condition
ParkSense® will not operate. Refer
to “Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
If “CLEAN PARK ASSIST” appears
in the Electronic Vehicle Information
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 “SERVICE PARK ASSIST" or
“SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM”
appears in the EVIC, see an autho-
rized dealer.CLEANING THE
PARKSENSE® SYSTEM
Clean 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 vibrations could affect the
performance of ParkSense®.
When you turn ParkSense® off,
the EVIC will display “PARK AS-
SIST SYSTEM OFF.” Further-
more, 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 or DRIVE posi-
tion and ParkSense® is turned
off, the EVIC will display “PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM OFF” message
for as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE at or below 11 km/h.
Clean the ParkSense® sensors
regularly, taking care not to
scratch or damage them. The sen-
sors 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 de-
tect an obstacle behind 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 30 cm from the
rear fascia/bumper while driving
the vehicle. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpret-
ing a close object as a sensor
problem, causing the “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST” message to be
displayed in the EVIC.
137

CAUTION!
 ParkSense® is only a parking aidand it is unable to recognize every
obstacle, including small ob-
stacles. Parking curbs might be
temporarily detected or not de-
tected 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 back-
ing 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 behind
your vehicle, look behind you,
and be sure to check for pedestri-
ans, animals, other vehicles, ob-
structions, and blind spots before
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
backing up. You are responsible
for safety and must continue to
pay attention to your surround-
ings. 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 vehicles 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 detect the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly, depending on
its size and shape, giving a false
indication that an obstacle is be-
hind the vehicle. PARKVIEW® REAR
BACK UP CAMERA
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
the ParkView® Rear Back Up Cam-
era that allows you to see an on-screen
image of the rear surroundings of
your vehicle whenever the shift lever
is put into REVERSE. The image will
be displayed on the radio touchscreen
display along with a caution note to
“check entire surroundings” across
the top of the screen. After five sec-
onds 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 navigation or audio
screen appears again.

vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure
label.
As an added safety feature, your ve-
hicle has been equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires
is significantly under-inflated. Ac-
cordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale illuminates, you should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stop-
ping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-
bility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not oper-
ating properly. The TPMS malfunc-
tion indicator is combined with the
low tire pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the tell-
tale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle start-
ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is il-
luminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pres-
sure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tires or wheels on
the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for
the original equipment tires and
wheels. TPMS pressures and warn-
ing have been established for the
tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or
sensor damage may result when us-
ing replacement equipment that is
not of the same size, type, and/or
style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire seal-
ant from a can or balance beads if
your vehicle is equipped with a
TPMS, as damage to the sensors
may result.
9. Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is part of an on-
board diagnostic system,
called OBD, that monitors engine and
automatic transmission control sys-
tems. 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 con-
dition checked promptly.
