Front and Rear Wipers — Washer
Functions
TURN SIGNALS
Move the multifunction lever up or
down and the arrows on each side of
the instrument cluster flash to show
proper operation of the front and rear
turn signal lights.
NOTE: If either light remains on
and does not flash, or there is a
very fast flash rate, check for a
defective outside light bulb. If an
indicator fails to light when the
lever is moved, it would suggest
that the indicator bulb is defective.
Turn Signal Warning
If the vehicle electronics sense that the
vehicle has traveled at over 30 km/h
for approximately 1.6 km with the
turn signals on, a chime will sound to
alert the driver.

from low beams to high beams. Pull-
ing back to the neutral position re-
turns the headlights to the low beam
operation.
FLASH-TO-PASS
You can signal another vehicle with
your headlights by lightly pulling the
multifunction lever toward you. This
will turn on the high beam headlights
until the lever is released.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The Automatic High Beam system
provides increased forward lighting at
night by automating high beam con-
trol through the use of a digital cam-
era mounted on the inside rearview
mirror. This camera detects vehicle
specific light and automatically
switches from high beams to low
beams until the approaching vehicle
is out of view.
NOTE: Broken, muddy or ob-
structed headlights and taillights
of vehicles in the field of view willcause headlights to remain on lon-
ger (closer to the vehicle). Also,
dirt, film and other obstructions
on the windshield or camera lens
will cause the system to function
improperly.
To Activate
1. Select “Automatic High Beams —
ON” through the EVIC. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)/Customer-Programmable
Features” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further informa-
tion.
2. Rotate the headlight switch coun-
terclockwise to the AUTO (A) posi-
tion.
3. Push the multifunction lever away
from you to switch the headlights to
the high beam position. Refer to
“Multifunction Lever” in this section
for further information.
NOTE: This system will not acti-
vate until the vehicle is at, or
above, 40 km/h.
HEADLIGHT LEVELING
SYSTEM (for versions/
markets, where provided)
Your vehicle may be
equipped with a headlight
leveling system. This sys-
tem allows the driver to
maintain proper headlight beam posi-
tion with the road surface regardless
of vehicle load. The control switch is
located on the instrument panel next
to the dimmer control.
To operate, rotate the control switch
until the appropriate number, which
corresponds to the load listed on the
chart, aligns with the indicator line on
the switch.
0 Driver only, or driver and
front passenger.
1 Driver, plus an evenly distrib-
uted load in the luggage com- partment. The total weight of the driver and load does not exceed the maximum load capacity of the vehicle.

to shut down if multiple Speed
Control functions are operated at
the same time. If this occurs, the
Electronic Speed Control System
can be reactivated by pushing the
Electronic Speed Control ON/OFF
button and resetting the desired
vehicle set speed.
TO ACTIVATE
Push the ON/OFF button. The Cruise
Indicator Light in the instrument
cluster will illuminate. To turn the
system off, push the ON/OFF button
a second time. The Cruise Indicator
Light will turn off. The system should
be turned off when not in use.
WARNING!
Leaving the Electronic Speed Con-
trol system on when not in use is
dangerous. You could accidentally
set the system or cause it to go
faster than you want. You could
lose control and have an accident.
Always leave the system OFF when
you are not using it.
TO SET A DESIRED SPEED
Turn the Electronic Speed Control
ON. When the vehicle has reached the
desired speed, press the SET (-) but-
ton and release. Release the accelera-
tor and the vehicle will operate at the
selected speed.
NOTE: The vehicle should be
traveling at a steady speed and on
level ground before pressing the
SET button.
TO DEACTIVATE
A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing
the CANCEL button, or normal brake
pressure while slowing the vehicle will
deactivate Electronic Speed Control
without erasing the set speed memory.
Pressing the ON/OFF button or turn-
ing the ignition switch OFF erases the
set speed memory.
TO RESUME SPEED
To resume a previously set speed,
push the RES (+) button and release.
Resume can be used at any speed
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 1.6 km/h increase in set
speed. Each subsequent tap of the
button results in an increase of
1.6 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 1.6 km/h decrease in set137
speed. Each subsequent tap of the
button results in a decrease of
1.6 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.
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 sys-
tem provides visual and audible indi-
cations of the distance between the rear
fascia and a detected obstacle when
backing up, e.g. during a parking ma-
neuver. Refer to ParkSense® System
Usage Precautions for limitations of
this system and recommendations.
ParkSense® will retain the last system
state (enabled or disabled) from the
last ignition cycle when the ignition is
changed to the ON/RUN position.
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 11 km/h or
above. The system will become active
again if the vehicle speed is decreased
to speeds less than approximately
9 km/h.
PARK ASSIST SENSORS
The four Park Assist 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
Electronic Vehicle Information Center
