The Vehicle Security Alarm is de-
signed to protect your vehicle; how-
ever, you can create conditions where
the system will give you a false alarm.
If one of the previously described
arming sequences has occurred, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm re-
gardless of whether you are in the
vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm
will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed
and the battery becomes disconnected,
the Vehicle Security Alarm will remain
armed when the battery is reconnected;
the exterior lights will flash, the horn
will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.PREMIUM SECURITY
SYSTEM (for versions/
markets, where provided)The Premium Security system moni-
tors the doors, hood latch, and liftgate
for unauthorized entry and the ignition
switch for unauthorized operation.The system also includes a dual func-
tion intrusion sensor and vehicle tilt
sensor. The intrusion sensor monitors
the vehicle interior for motion. The
vehicle tilt sensor monitors the vehicle
for any tilting actions (tow away, tire
removal, ferry transport, etc).
In the event that something triggers
the security system, the headlights
will turn on and the turn signal and
side repeater lights will flash for
34 seconds. The system will repeat
this sequence for up to 8 security
violations in any mode (door ajar,
motion, hood ajar, etc.) before having
to rearm the system. At the end of any
particular trigger event, the lights will
continue to flash for 26 seconds.

NOTE:
Air Bag covers may not be obvious
in the interior trim, but they will
open during air bag deployment. After any accident, the vehicleshould be taken to an autho-
rized dealer immediately.
Air Bag System Components
Your vehicle may be equipped with
the following air bag system compo-
nents:
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) Air Bag Warning Light
Steering Wheel and Column
Instrument Panel
Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air
Bag Knee Impact Bolster
Driver Advanced Front Air Bag
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SAB)
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflat- able Curtains (SABIC)
Front and Side Impact Sensors (for versions/markets, where provided)
Front Seat Belt Pretensioners, Seat Belt Buckle Switch
Advanced Front Air Bag Features
The Advanced Front Air Bag system
has multistage driver and front passen-
ger air bags. This system provides out-
put appropriate to the severity and
type of collision as determined by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC),
which may receive information from
the front impact sensors.The first stage inflator is triggered
immediately during an impact that
requires air bag deployment. This low
output is used in less severe collisions.
A higher energy output is used for
more severe collisions.
WARNING!
No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instru-
ment panel, because any such
objects could cause harm if the
vehicle is in a collision severe
enough to cause the air bag to
inflate.
Do not put anything on or around
the air bag covers or attempt to
open them manually. You may
damage the air bags and you could
be injured because the air bags
may no longer be functional. The
protective covers for the air bag
cushions are designed to open only
when the air bags are inflating. Do not drill, cut or tamper with
the knee bolster in any way.
Do not mount any accessories to the
knee bolster such as alarm lights,
stereos, citizen band radios, etc.

3 km/h, to objects moving a maxi-
mum of approximately 16 km/h, such
as in parking lot situations.
NOTE:
In a parking lot situation,
oncoming vehicles can be obscured
by vehicles parked on either side.
If the sensors are blocked by other
structures or vehicles, the system
will not be able to alert the driver.
When RCP is on and the vehicle is in
REVERSE, the driver is alerted using
both the visual and audible alarms,
including reducing the radio volume.WARNING!RCP is not a Back Up Aid system.
It is intended to be used to help a
driver detect an oncoming vehicle in
a parking lot situation. Drivers must
be careful when backing up, even
when using RCP. Always check care-
fully behind your vehicle, look be-
hind you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, and blind spots before
backing up. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
MODES OF OPERATION
Three selectable modes of operation
are available in the Uconnect Touch™
System. Refer to “Uconnect Touch™
Settings” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further infor-
mation.
Blind Spot Alert
When operating in Blind Spot Alert
mode, the BSM system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate side
view mirror based on a detected ob-
ject. However, when the system is op-
erating in RCP, the system will re-
spond with both visual and audible
alerts when a detected object is pres-
ent. Whenever an audible alert is re-
quested, the radio volume is reduced.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert
Lights/Chime mode, the BSM system
will provide a visual alert in the ap-
propriate side view mirror based on a
detected object. If the turn signal is
then activated, and it corresponds to an alert present on that side of the
vehicle, an audible chime will also be
sounded. Whenever a turn signal and
detected object are present on the
same side at the same time, both the
visual and audio alerts will be issued.
In addition to the audible alert, the
radio (if on) volume will be reduced.
NOTE:
Whenever an audible alert is
requested by the BSM system,
the radio volume is reduced.
If the hazard flashers are on, the system will request the ap-
propriate visual alert only.
When the system is in RCP, the system
shall respond with both visual and
audible alerts when a detected object
is present. Whenever an audible alert
is requested, the radio is also muted.
Turn/hazard signal status is ignored;
the RCP state always requests the
audible chime.

Narrow Vehicles
Some narrow vehicles traveling near
the outer edges of the lane or edging
into the lane are not detected until
they have moved fully into the lane.
There will not be sufficient distance to
the vehicle ahead.
Stationary Objects And VehiclesACC does not react to stationary objects
and stationary vehicles. For example,
ACC will not react in situations wherethe 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.
NORMAL (FIXED SPEED)
CRUISE CONTROL MODE
In addition to Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol mode, a normal (fixed speed)
Cruise Control mode is available for
cruising at fixed speeds. The normal
Cruise Control mode is designed to
maintain a set cruising speed without
requiring the driver to operate the
accelerator. Cruise Control can only
be operated if the vehicle speed is
above 32 km/h.
To change modes, press the MODE
button when the system is in either the
OFF, READY, or SET position.
“Cruise Ready” will be displayed if
the system was in ACC READY or
ACC SET position. “Cruise Off” will
be displayed if the system was in the
ACC OFF position. To switch back to
Adaptive Cruise Control mode, press
the MODE button a second time.
WARNING!
In the normal Cruise Control mode,
the system will not react to vehicles
ahead. In addition, the proximity
warning does not activate and no
alarm will sound even if you are too
close to the vehicle ahead since nei-
ther 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.
