RAIN SENSING WIPERS
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
This feature senses moisture on the
windshield and automatically acti-
vates the wipers for the driver. This
feature is especially useful for road
splash or overspray from the wind-
shield washers of the vehicle ahead.
Rotate the end of the multifunction
lever to one of the five intermittent
wiper sensitivity settings to activate
this feature.
The sensitivity of the system is adjust-
able from the multifunction lever.
Wiper sensitivity position 3 has been
calibrated for best overall wiping sen-
sitivity. If the operator desires more
wiping sensitivity, they may select
sensitivity positions 4 or 5. If the op-
erator desires less wiping sensitivity,
they may select sensitivity positions 2
or 1. Place the multifunction lever in
the OFF position when not using the
system.NOTE:
The Rain Sensing feature will
not operate when the wiper
speed is in the low or high posi-
tion.
The Rain Sensing feature may not function properly when ice
or dried saltwater is present on
the windshield.
Use of products containing wax or silicone may reduce rain sen-
sor performance.
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off through the
EVIC (for versions/markets,
where provided). Refer to “Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)/Personal Settings
(Customer-Programmable Fea-
tures)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further
information. The Rain Sensing system has protec-
tive features for the wiper blades and
arms. It will not operate under the
following conditions:
Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit
— The Rain Sensing feature will
not operate when the ignition is
first switched ON, and the vehicle is
stationary, and the outside tem-
perature is below 0°C, unless the
wiper control on the multifunction
lever is moved, or the vehicle speed
becomes greater than 0 km/h, or
the outside temperature rises above
freezing.
Neutral Wipe Inhibit — The Rain
Sensing feature will not operate
when the ignition is ON, and the
transmission shift lever is in the
NEUTRAL position, and the ve-
hicle speed is less than 8 km/h,
unless the wiper control on the mul-
tifunction lever is moved or the
shift lever is moved out of the NEU-
TRAL position.

ing column while driving or driving
with the steering column unlocked,
could cause the driver to lose con-
trol of the vehicle. Failure to follow
this warning may result in serious
injury or death.
ADJUSTABLE PEDALS
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The adjustable pedals system is de-
signed to allow a greater range of

above 32 km/h.TO VARY THE SPEED
SETTING
When the Electronic Speed Control is
set, you can increase speed by pushing
the RES (+) button. If the button is
continually pressed, the set speed will
continue to increase until the button is
released, then the new set speed will
be established.
Pressing the RES (+) button once will
result in a 2 km/h increase in set
speed. Each subsequent tap of the
button results in an increase of
2 km/h.
To decrease speed while the Elec-
tronic Speed Control is set, push the
SET (-) button. If the button is con-
tinually held in the SET (-) position,
the set speed will continue to decrease
until the button is released. Release
the button when the desired speed is
reached, and the new set speed will be
established.
Pressing the SET (-) button once will
result in a 2 km/h decrease in set
speed. Each subsequent tap of the
button results in a decrease of 2 km/h.TO ACCELERATE FOR
PASSING
Press the accelerator as you would
normally. When the pedal is released,
the vehicle will return to the set speed.
Using Electronic Speed Control
On Hills
The transmission may downshift on
hills to maintain the vehicle set speed.
NOTE: The Electronic Speed
Control system maintains speed up
and down hills. A slight speed
change on moderate hills is nor-
mal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or
gain may occur so it may be prefer-
able to drive without Electronic Speed
Control.
132
WARNING!
Electronic Speed Control can be
dangerous where the system cannot
maintain a constant speed. Your ve-
hicle could go too fast for the con-
ditions, and you could lose control
and have an accident. Do not use
Electronic Speed Control in heavy
traffic or on roads that are winding,
icy, snow-covered or slippery.
PARKSENSE® REAR
PARK ASSIST (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The ParkSense® Rear Park Assist
system provides visual and audible
indications of the distance between
the rear fascia and a detected obstacle
when backing up, e.g. during a park-
ing maneuver. Refer to ParkSense®
System Usage Precautions for limita-
tions of this system and recommenda-
tions. ParkSense® will retain the last sys-
tem state (enabled or disabled) from
the last ignition cycle when the igni-
tion is changed to the ON/RUN posi-
tion.
ParkSense® can be active only when
the shift lever is in REVERSE. If
ParkSense® is enabled at this shift
lever position, the system will remain
active until the vehicle speed is in-
creased to approximately 18 km/h or
above. The system will become active
again if the vehicle speed is decreased
to speeds less than approximately
16 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 from approxi-
mately 30 cm up to 200 cm from the
rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal
direction, 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 Customer-
Programmable Features section of the

tures)” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further informa-
tion. When ParkSense® is disabled, the in-
strument cluster will display the
“PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF” mes-
sage for approximately five seconds.
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC)” in “Understand-
ing Your Instrument Panel” for fur-
ther information. When the shift lever
is moved to REVERSE and the system
is disabled, the EVIC will display the
“PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF” mes-
sage for as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE.
SERVICE THE
PARKSENSE® REAR PARK
ASSIST SYSTEM
When the ParkSense® Rear Park As-
sist System is malfunctioning, the in-
strument cluster will actuate a single
chime, once per ignition cycle, and it
will display the “CLEAN PARK AS-
SIST SENSORS” or the “SERVICE
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message.
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC)” in “Understand-
ing Your Instrument Panel” for fur-
ther information. When the shift lever
is moved to REVERSE and the system
has detected a faulted condition, the
135
EVIC will display the “CLEAN PARK
ASSIST SENSORS” or the “SER-
VICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” mes-
sage for as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE. Under this condition,
ParkSense® will not operate.
If “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SEN-
SORS” appears in the EVIC after
making sure the rear fascia/bumper is
free from snow, ice, mud, dirt or other
obstruction, see your authorized
dealer.
If “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYS-
TEM” appears in the EVIC, see your
authorized 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. Oth-
erwise, you could damage the sensors.PARKSENSE® SYSTEM
USAGE PRECAUTIONS
NOTE:
Ensure that the rear bumper is
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 instrument cluster will dis-
play “PARK ASSIST 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
EVIC will display “PARK AS-
SIST SYSTEM OFF” message for
as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE. ParkSense®, when on, will re-
duce the radio volume 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® sys-
tem might not detect an obstacle
behind the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication
that an obstacle is behind the
fascia/bumper.
Objects such as bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc., must not be
placed within 30 cm from the
rear fascia/bumper while driv-
ing the vehicle. Failure to do so
can result in the system misin-
terpreting a close object as a
sensor problem, causing the
“SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYS-
TEM” message to be displayed
in the EVIC.
