DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS (IF
EQUIPPED)
WARNING
Always remember to switch yourheadlamps on in low light situationsor during inclement weather. Thesystem does not activate the tail lampsand may not provide adequate lightingduring these conditions. Failure to activateyour headlamps under these conditionsmay result in a collision.
The system switches the low beamheadlamps on at a reduced intensity indaylight conditions.
To switch the system on, switch theignition on, and switch the lighting controlto the off, autolamp or parking lampposition.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
The system will automatically turn on yourhigh beams if it is dark enough and no othertraffic is present. When it detects theheadlights of an approaching vehicle, thetail lamps of the preceding vehicle or streetlighting, the system will turn off the highbeams before they distract other drivers.The low beams remain on.
Note:If it appears that automatic controlof the high beams is not functioningproperly, check the windshield in front ofthe camera for a blockage. A clear view ofthe road is required for proper systemoperation. Have any windshield damage inthe area of the camera’s field-of-viewrepaired.
Note:If the system detects a blockage suchas bird droppings, bug splatter, snow or ice,and you do not observe changes, the systemwill go into low beam mode until you clearthe blockage. A message may also appearin the instrument cluster display noting thefront camera is blocked.
Note:Typical road dust, dirt and waterspots will not affect the performance of theautomatic high beam system . However, incold or inclement weather conditions, youwill notice a decrease in the availability ofthe high beam system, especially at startup. If you want to change the beam stateindependently of the system, you mayswitch the high beams on or off using themultifunction switch. Automatic control willresume when conditions are correct.
Note:Modification of the vehicle ride heightsuch as using much larger tires, maydegrade feature performance.
A camera sensor, centrally mountedbehind the windshield of your vehicle,continuously monitors conditions to decidewhen to switch the high beams off and on.

Note:If the electric parking brake warninglamp stays illuminated, the electric parkingbrake will not automatically release. Youmust release the electric parking brake usingthe electric parking brake switch.
Note:On manual transmission vehicles, ifthe transmission is not in neutral (N) whenyou release the clutch pedal and press theaccelerator pedal, the electric parking brakewill release automatically.
Note:On manual transmission vehicles, theclutch pedal must be fully pressed beforethe drive away release feature will operate.Drive as normal using the accelerator andclutch pedals and the electric parking brakewill be automatically released.
The brake system warning lamp will go offto confirm that the electric parking brakehas been released.
Note:The electric parking brake drive awayrelease makes starting on a hill easier. Thisfeature will release the parking brakeautomatically when the vehicle hassufficient drive force to move up the hill. Toassure drive away release when startinguphill, press the accelerator pedal quickly.
Battery With No Charge
WARNING
You will not be able to apply orrelease the electric parking brake ifthe battery is low or has no charge.
If the battery is low or has no charge, usejumper cables and a booster battery.
HILL START ASSIST
WARNINGS
The system does not replace theparking brake. When you leave yourvehicle, always apply the parkingbrake and put the transmission in park (P).
WARNINGS
You must remain in your vehicle onceyou have activated the system.
During all times, you are responsiblefor controlling your vehicle,supervising the system andintervening, if required.
If the engine is revved excessively, orif a malfunction is detected, thesystem will be deactivated.
The system makes it easier to pull awaywhen your vehicle is on a slope without theneed to use the parking brake.
When the system is active, your vehicle willremain stationary on the slope for two tothree seconds after you release the brakepedal. This allows you time to move yourfoot from the brake to the acceleratorpedal. The brakes are releasedautomatically once the engine hasdeveloped sufficient drive to prevent yourvehicle from rolling down the slope. Thisis an advantage when pulling away on aslope, (for example from a car park ramp,traffic lights or when reversing uphill intoa parking space).
The system will activate automatically onany slope that will cause significant vehiclerollback.
Using Hill Start Assist
1.Press the brake pedal to bring yourvehicle to a complete standstill. Keepthe brake pedal pressed.
2.If the sensors detect that your vehicleis on a slope, the system will activateautomatically.
3.When you remove your foot from thebrake pedal, your vehicle will remainon the slope without rolling away forabout two or three seconds. This holdtime will automatically be extended ifyou are in the process of driving off.
