ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)
If your vehicle is equipped with adaptive cruise
control the controls operate exactly the same
as the normal (fixed speed) speed control with
one difference. You can set a specified distance
you would like to maintain between you and the
vehicle in front of you.
If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead,
ACC will apply limited braking or accelera-
tion automatically to maintain a preset fol-
lowing distance, while matching the speed
of the vehicle ahead.
If the sensor does not detect a vehicle ahead
of you, ACC will maintain a fixed set speed.
ACC ON/OFF
• Push and release the Adaptive CruiseControl (ACC) ON/OFF button.
ACC READY will appear on the instrument cluster to indicate the ACC is on.
• Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) ON/OFF button a second time to turn the system off.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Off will appear on the instrument cluster to indicate the ACC is off.
Distance Setting (ACC Only)
The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting between
four bars (longest), three bars (long), two bars (medium) and one bar (short). Using this
distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets the distance to the vehicle
ahead. This distance setting displays in the EVIC.
•
To increase the distance setting, press the Distance Setting—Increase button and release.
Each time the button is pressed, the distance setting increases by one bar (longer).
•To decrease the distance setting, press the Distance Setting—Decrease button and release.
Each time the button is pressed, the distance setting decreases by one bar (shorter).
ACC Operation At Stop
If the ACC system brings your vehicle to a standstill while following a target vehicle, if the
target vehicle starts moving within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a standstill, your
vehicle will resume motion without the need for any driver action.
If the target vehicle does not start moving within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill, the ACC with Stop system will cancel and the brakes will ramp-out. Driver
intervention will be required at this moment.

Far
The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting.
The far setting provides warnings for potential collisions more distant in front of the vehicle,
allowing the driver to have the most reaction time to avoid a collision.
This setting is designed to provide early warnings per NHTSA (National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration) recommendations.
More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
This setting gives you the most reaction time.
Near
Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting, allows the system to warn you of a potential
frontal collision when you are much closer.
This setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” setting, which allows for a more
dynamic driving experience.
More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to avoid frequent warnings may prefer this
setting.
Off
Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the system from warning you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you.
Turning Active Braking ON Or OFF
The Active Braking feature has two settings and can be changed within the Uconnect®
System Screen:
•On
• Off
Changing the Active Braking status to “Off” prevents the system from providing limited
autonomous braking, or additional brake support if the driver is not braking adequately in
the event of a potential frontal collision.
NOTE:
If FCW is set to “Off”, “FCW OFF” will be displayed in the EVIC.
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
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.

ELECTRONIC SHIFTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a fuel efficient
eight-speed transmission. The Electronic
gear selector is located on the center console.
The transmission gear (PRND) is displayed
both above the shifter control and in the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
• To select a gear range, simply rotate theshifter control.
NOTE:
You must press the brake pedal to shift the
transmission out of PARK or from NEUTRAL
into DRIVE or REVERSE.
• To shift past multiple gear ranges at once (such as PARK to DRIVE), simply rotate
the switch to the appropriate detent.
• Select the DRIVE range for normal driving.
WARNING!
•Never use the PARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the
parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury
or damage.
• Your vehicle could move and injure you and others if it is not in PARK. Make sure the transmission is in PARK before leaving the vehicle.
• It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate
quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or
something. Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and your foot is
firmly pressing the brake pedal.
• Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting
a vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into PARK, turn the
engine OFF, and remove the key fob. When the ignition is in the OFF position, the
transmission is locked in PARK, securing the vehicle against unwanted movement.
• When leaving the vehicle, always make sure the ignition switch is in the OFF position remove the key fob from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons.
A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not
to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the transmission gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to children), and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the
ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move
the vehicle.

AUTOSTICK®
AutoStick® is a driver-interactive transmis-
sion feature providing manual shift control,
giving you more control of the vehicle.
AutoStick® allows you to maximize engine
braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and
downshifts, and improve overall vehicle per-
formance. This system can also provide you
with more control during passing, city driving, cold slippery conditions, mountain driving,
trailer towing, and many other situations.
Operation
• When the transmission is in DRIVE, it will operate automatically, shifting between theeight available gears. To engage AutoStick®, simply tap one of the steering wheel-
mounted shift paddles (+/-). Tapping (-) to enter AutoStick® will downshift the transmis-
sion to the next lower gear, while using (+) to enter AutoStick® will retain the current gear.
When AutoStick® is active, the current transmission gear is displayed in the instrument
cluster.
In AutoStick® mode, the transmission will shift up or down when (+/-) is manually selected
by the driver, unless an engine lugging or overspeed condition would result.
NOTE:
To disengage AutoStick® mode, press and hold the (+) shift paddle until "D" is once again
displayed in the instrument cluster. You can shift in or out of AutoStick® mode at any time
without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive wheels
could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or personal injury.

PARKSENSE® REAR PARK ASSIST
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 approximately 12 in (30 cm) up to 79 in (200 cm)
from the rear bumper while the vehicle is in REVERSE, a warning will display in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) and a chime will sound (when Sound and Display is
selected from the Customer Programmable Features section of the Uconnect® System
screen). As the vehicle moves closer to the object, the chime rate will change from single
1/2 second tone, to slow, to fast, to continuous.
Cleaning The ParkSense® Sensors
If “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” appears in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC), 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.
NOTE:
When the Instrument Cluster reads either Clean Sensor or Blinded, please clean off the
bumper sensors to see if the condition is corrected.
PARKVIEW® REAR BACK-UP CAMERA
You can see an on-screen image of the rear of your vehicle whenever the shift lever/gear
selector is put into REVERSE. The ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera image will be displayed
on the radio display screen, located on the center stack of the instrument panel.
If the radio display screen appears foggy, clean the camera lens located on the liftgate.
