WINDSHIELD WIPERS
AND WASHERS
The wipers and washers are operated
by a switch within the multifunction
lever. Rotate the end of the multifunc-
tion lever to select the desired wiper
speed. NOTE: Always remove any
buildup of snow that prevents the
windshield wiper blades from re-
turning to the off position. If the
windshield wiper switch is turned
off and the blades cannot return to
the off position, damage to the
wiper motor may occur.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through
the windshield could lead to a col-
lision. You might not see other ve-
hicles or other obstacles. To avoid
sudden icing of the windshield dur-
ing freezing weather, warm the
windshield with the defroster be-
fore and during windshield washer
use.
MIST, FRONT WIPER AND
WASHER
Use the Mist feature when weather
conditions make occasional usage of
the wipers necessary.
Press the end of the multifunction lever
inward (toward the steering column) to
the first detent and release for a single wiping cycle. To use the Washer, push
on the end of the lever to the second
detent and hold while spray is desired.
If the lever is pushed while on the in-
termittent setting, the wipers will turn
on and operate for several wipe cycles
after the lever is released, and then
resume the intermittent interval previ-
ously selected. If the lever is pushed
while the wipers are in the off position,
the wipers will operate several wipe
cycles, then turn off.
INTERMITTENT, LOW AND
HIGH SPEED WIPERS
Rotate the end of the lever to one of
the first five detent positions for inter-
mittent wiper operation, the sixth de-
tent for low wiper operation and the
seventh detent for high wiper opera-
tion.
Use one of the five intermittent wiper
settings when weather conditions
make a single wiping cycle, with a
variable delay between cycles, desir-
able. At driving speeds above
16 km/h, the delay can be regulated

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.
TILT/TELESCOPING
STEERING COLUMN
This feature allows you to tilt the
steering column upward or down-
ward. It also allows you to lengthen or
shorten the steering column. The tilt/
telescoping lever is located below the
steering wheel at the end of the steer-
ing column.
To unlock the steering column, push
the lever downward (toward the

move the steering wheel upward or
downward as desired. To lengthen orshorten the steering column, pull the
steering wheel outward or push it in-
ward as desired. To lock the steering
column in position, push the lever up-
ward until fully engaged.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column
while driving. Adjusting the steer-
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
driver comfort for steering wheel tilt
and seat position. This feature allows
the brake and accelerator pedals to
move toward or away from the driver
to provide improved position with the
steering wheel.

The switch is located on the left side of
the steering column.
Press the switch forward to move the
pedals forward (toward the front of
the vehicle).
Press the switch rearward to move the
pedals rearward (toward the driver).
The pedals can be adjusted with theignition OFF.
The pedals cannotbe adjusted
when the vehicle is in REVERSE or
when the Electronic Speed Control
System is on. The following mes-
sages will be displayed on vehicles
equipped with the Electronic Ve-
hicle Information System (EVIC) if
the pedals are attempted to be ad-
justed when the system is locked
out (“Adjustable Pedal Disabled — Cruise Control Engaged” or “Ad-
justable Pedal Disabled — Vehicle
In Reverse”.
NOTE:
Always adjust the pedals to a po- sition that allows full pedal
travel.
Further small adjustments may be necessary to find the best pos-
sible seat/pedal position.
CAUTION!
Do not place any article under the
adjustable pedals or impede its
ability to move, as it may cause
damage to the pedal controls. Pedal
travel may become limited if move-
ment is stopped by an obstruction
in the adjustable pedal's path.

WARNING!(Continued)
Before using ParkSense®, it isstrongly recommended that the
ball mount and hitch ball assem-
bly is disconnected from the ve-
hicle when the vehicle is not used
for towing. Failure to do so can
result in injury or damage to ve-
hicles or obstacles because the
hitch ball will be much closer to
the obstacle than the rear fascia
when the loudspeaker sounds the
continuous tone. Also, the sensors
could detect the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly, depending on
its size and shape, giving a false
indication that an obstacle is be-
hind the vehicle.
PARKVIEW® REAR
BACK UP CAMERA (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
the ParkView® Rear Back Up Cam-
era that allows you to see an on-screen
image of the rear surroundings of
your vehicle whenever the shift lever
is put into REVERSE. The image will
be displayed on the Navigation/
Multimedia radio display screen along
with a caution note to “check entire
surroundings” across the top of the
screen. After five seconds this note
will disappear. The ParkView® cam-
era is located on the rear of the vehicle
above the rear License plate. When the vehicle is shifted out of RE-
VERSE, the rear camera mode is ex-
ited and the navigation or audio
screen appears again.
When displayed, static grid lines will
illustrate the width of the vehicle
while a dashed center-line will indi-
cate the center of the vehicle to assist
with aligning to a hitch/receiver. The
static grid lines will show separate
zones that will help indicate the dis-
tance to the rear of the vehicle. The
following table shows the approxi-
mate distances for each zone:

12 Volts. If the 160 Watt (13
Amp) power rating is exceeded
the fuse protecting the system will
need to be replaced.
Power outlets are designed for ac- cessory plugs only. Do not insert
any other object in the power out-
lets as this will damage the outlet
and blow the fuse. Improper use
of the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by your New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
One outlet in the removable floor con-
sole (for versions/markets, where pro-
vided) shares a fuse with the lower
outlet in the instrument panel and is also connected to the battery. Do not
exceed a maximum power of 160
Watts (13 Amps) shared between the
lower panel outlet and the removable
floor console outlet.
On vehicles equipped with the Super
Console the power outlets are located

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The crossbars on your vehicle are de-
livered stowed within the roof rack
side rails. If adding cargo, deploy the
crossbars. Distribute cargo weight
evenly on the roof rack crossbars, to
maximum of 68 kg. The roof rack
does not increase the total load carry-
ing capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the
total load of cargo inside the vehicle
plus that on the external rack does not
exceed the maximum vehicle load ca-
pacity.
The crossbars and side rails are de-
signed to carry weight on vehicles
equipped with a luggage rack. The load must not exceed 68 kg, and
should be uniformly distributed over
the luggage rack crossbars.
