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.

WARNING!(Continued)
If required, mounting posts must be
properly installed, if not equipped
from the factory.Failure to properly follow floor mat
installation or mounting can cause
interference with the brake pedal
and accelerator pedal operation
causing loss of control of the vehicle.Periodic Safety Checks You
Should Make Outside The
Vehicle
TiresExamine tires for excessive tread wear
and uneven wear patterns. Check for
stones, nails, glass, or other objects
lodged in the tread or sidewall. Inspect
the tread for cuts and cracks. Inspect
sidewalls for cuts, cracks and bulges.
Check the wheel nuts for tightness.
Check the tires (including spare) for
proper cold inflation pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation
of brake lights and exterior lights
while you work the controls. Check
turn signal and high beam indicator
lights on the instrument panel.
Door Latches
Check for positive closing, latching,
and locking.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under vehicle after over-
night parking for fuel, engine coolant,
oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if gaso-
line fumes are detected or if fuel,
power steering fluid (2500/3500), or
brake fluid leaks are suspected, the
cause should be located and corrected
immediately.

OUTSIDE MIRRORS
WITH TURN SIGNAL AND
APPROACH LIGHTING
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
Driver and passenger outside mirrors
with turn signals located within the
mirror housing and approach lighting
located within mirror glass contain
five LEDs.
Three of the LEDs are turn signal
indicators, which flash with the corre-
sponding turn signal lights in the
front and rear of the vehicle. Turning
on the Hazard Warning flashers will
also activate these LEDs.The other two LEDs supply illumi-
nated entry lighting, which turns on in
both mirrors when you use the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter or
open any door. These LEDs shine out-
ward to illuminate the front and rear
door handles. They also shine down-
ward to illuminate the area in front of
the doors.The Illuminated Entry lighting fades
to off after about 30 seconds or it willfade to off immediately once the igni-
tion is placed into the RUN position.
NOTE:
The approach lighting will
not function when the shift lever is
moved out of the PARK position.
TILT MIRRORS IN
REVERSE (for versions/
markets, where provided)Tilt Mirrors in Reverse provides auto-
matic outside mirror positioning which
will aid the driver’s view of the ground
rearward of the front doors. The out-
side mirrors will move slightly down-
ward from the present position when
the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE.
The outside mirrors will then return to
the original position when the vehicle is
shifted out of the REVERSE position.
Each stored memory setting will have
an associated Tilt Mirrors in Reverse
position.NOTE:
The Tilt Mirrors in Reverse fea- ture is not turned on when deliv-
ered from the factory. The Tilt
Mirrors in Reverse feature can
be turned on and off using the
Uconnect Touch™ System. Refer to “Uconnect Touch™ Set-
tings” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further
information.
POWER MIRRORS
The power mirror controls are located
on the driver's door trim panel.
The power mirror controls consist of
mirror select buttons and a four-way
mirror control switch. To adjust a mir-
ror, press either the L (left) or R (right)
button to select the mirror that you
want to adjust.NOTE:
A light in the select button
will illuminate indicating the mir-
ror is activated and can be adjusted.Power Mirror Control

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.

Vehicle Indicator” icon, and the sys-
tem adjusts vehicle speed automati-
cally to maintain the distance setting,
regardless of the set speed.
The vehicle will then maintain the set
distance until:
The vehicle ahead accelerates to aspeed above the set speed.
The vehicle ahead moves out of your lane or view of the sensor.
The vehicle ahead slows to a speed below 24 km/h and the system au-
tomatically disengages itself.
The distance setting is changed.
The system disengages. (Refer to the
information on ACC Activation).The maximum braking applied by
ACC is limited; however, the driver
can always apply the brakes manu-
ally, if necessary. NOTE: The brake lights will illu-
minate whenever the ACC system
applies the brakes.
A Proximity Warning will alert the
driver if ACC predicts that its maxi-
mum braking level is not sufficient to
maintain the set distance. If this oc-
curs, a visual alert “BRAKE” will
flash in the EVIC and a chime will
sound while ACC continues to apply
its maximum braking capacity. When
this occurs, you should immediately
apply the brakes as needed to main-
tain a safe distance from the vehicle
ahead.

The center console outlet is powered
directly from the battery (power
available at all times). Items plugged
into this outlet may discharge the
battery and/or prevent the engine
from starting.
There is also a 12 volt power outlet
located on the back of the center con-
sole for rear passengers. This power
outlet has power available only when
the ignition is placed in the ACC or
RUN position.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Only devices designed for use inthis type of outlet should be in-
serted into any 12 Volt outlet.
Do not touch with wet hands.
Close the lid when not in use and while driving the vehicle.
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock and fail-
ure.
CAUTION!
Many accessories that can beplugged in draw power from the
vehicle's battery even when not in
use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).
Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle's battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
Accessories that draw higher
power (i.e., coolers, vacuum
cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade
the battery even more quickly.
Only use these intermittently and
with greater caution.
After the use of high power draw accessories or long periods of the
vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the
vehicle must be driven a suffi-
cient length of time to allow the
alternator to recharge the vehi-
cle's battery.
