System is on. The following mes-
sages will be displayed on vehicles
equipped with the Electronic Ve-
hicle Information System (EVIC) if
the pedals are attempted to be ad-
justed when the system is locked
out :Adjustable Pedal Disabled —
Cruise Control Engaged or Adjust-
able Pedal Disabled — Vehicle In

NOTE:
 Always adjust the pedals to a position that allows full pedal
travel.
 Further small adjustments may be necessary to find the best
possible seat/pedal position. NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with
Driver Memory Seat, you can use
your Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter or the memory switch on
the driver's door trim panel to return
the adjustable pedals to pre-
programmed positions. Refer to

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!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
is not intended to avoid a collision
on its own, nor can FCW detect
every type of potential collision.
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 StatusThe FCW feature can be set to far, set
to near or turned off using the
Uconnect Touch™ System, refer to
“Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in “Un-
derstanding Your Instrument Panel”
for further information. The FCW Sta-
tus Off, Near or Far will be displayed
in the Uconnect Touch™ display.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” set-
ting, which allows for a more dynamic
driving experience.
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 displayed on the Uconnect
Touch™ display.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 reflections, objects not in
the path of the car, stationary ob-
jects that are far away, oncoming
traffic, or leading vehicles with
the same or higher rate of speed.
 If the FCW becomes disabled
then a warning will display on
the EVIC screen.
FCW Unavailable Warning
If the system turns off, and the EVIC
displays “ACC/FCW Unavailable,
Service Required”, there may be a
temporary malfunction that limits
FCW functionality. Although the ve-
hicle is still drivable under normal
conditions, FCW will be temporarily
unavailable. If this occurs, try activat-
ing FCW again later, following a key
cycle. If the problem persists, see your
authorized dealer.

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.
