Rear Heated Seats (If Equipped)
WARNING
Persons who are unable to feel
pain to the skin because of
advanced age, chronic illness,
diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion,
or other physical conditions, must
exercise care when using the seat
heater. The seat heater may cause
burns even at low temperatures,
especially if used for long periods of
time. Do not place anything on the
seat that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion, because this
may cause the seat heater to
overheat. Do not puncture the seat
with pins, needles, or other pointed
objects because this may damage the
heating element which may cause the
seat heater to overheat. An
overheated seat may cause serious
personal injury.
Note: Do not do the following:
• Place heavy objects on the seat.
• Operate the seat heater if water or any other liquid is spilled on the

switch the feature off (for the
current ignition cycle only).
Stopping the Engine When
Your Vehicle is Stationary
1. Put the transmission in position P.
2. Press the button once.
3. Apply the parking brake.
Note: This switches off the ignition, all
electrical circuits, warning lamps and
indicators. Note:
If the engine is idling for 30
minutes, the ignition and engine
automatically shut down.
Stopping the Engine When
Your Vehicle is Moving
WARNING
Switching off the engine when
the vehicle is still moving will
result in a loss of brake and steering
assistance. The steering will not lock,
but higher effort will be required.
When the ignition is switched off,
some electrical circuits, warning
lamps and indicators may also be off.
1. Put the transmission in position N
and use the brakes to bring your
vehicle to a safe stop.
2. When your vehicle has stopped, put the transmission in position P.
3. Press and hold the button for one second, or press it three times
within two seconds.

Starting and Stopping the Engine

Note:Hold the handle of the fuel filler
nozzle higher while you insert the
nozzle for easier access.
3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully into the fuel system to open
both doors. Leave the nozzle fully
inserted until you have stopped
pumping fuel.
E154765
Note: Allow about five to ten seconds
after pumping fuel before removing the
fuel filler nozzle. This allows residual
fuel to drain back into the fuel tank and
not spill onto the vehicle.
4. After you have stopped pumping fuel, slowly remove the fuel filler
nozzle.
Note: A fuel spillage concern may
occur if overfilling the fuel tank. Do not
overfill the tank to the point that the
fuel is able to bypass the fuel filler
nozzle. The overfilled fuel may run
down the drain located below and in
front of the fuel filler door.
5. To close the fuel filler door, press the center-rear edge of the fuel
filler door and then release. The
fuel door will latch closed. If the fuel fill inlet did not close
properly, a Check Fuel Fill Inlet
message may appear on the
instrument cluster.
At the next opportunity, do the
following:
1. Safely pull off the road.
2. Put the vehicle in position
P and
switch the ignition off.
3. Open the fuel filler door and remove any visible debris from the
fuel fill opening.
4. Insert the fuel fill nozzle, or the fuel fill funnel provided with the
vehicle, several times to allow the
inlet to close properly. This will
dislodge any debris preventing the
inlet from sealing.
If this action corrects the problem, the
message may not reset immediately.
It may take several driving cycles for
the message to turn off. A driving
cycle consists of an engine start-up
(after four or more hours with the
engine off) followed by city or
highway driving. Continuing to drive
with the message on may cause the
service engine soon lamp to turn on
as well.

Fuel and Refueling

Active guidelines are only shown with
fixed guidelines. To use active
guidelines, turn the steering wheel to
point the guidelines toward an
intended path. If the steering wheel
position is changed while reversing,
the vehicle might deviate from the
original intended path.
The fixed and active guidelines fade
in and out depending on the steering
wheel position. The active guidelines
are not shown when the steering
wheel position is straight.
Always use caution while reversing.
Objects in the red zone are closest to
your vehicle and objects in the green
zone are farther away. Objects are
getting closer to your vehicle as they
move from the green zone to the
yellow or red zones. Use the side view
mirrors and rear view mirror to get
better coverage on both sides and rear
of the vehicle.
Selectable settings for this feature are
ACTIVE + FIXED, FIXED and OFF.
Visual Park Aid Alert
Note: Visual park alert is only available
when the transmission is in R
(Reverse).
Note: The reverse sensing system is
not effective at speeds above 3 mph
(5 km/h) and may not detect certain
angular or moving objects. The system uses red, yellow and green
highlights which appear on top of the
video image when an object is
detected by the reverse sensing
system. The alert highlights the
closest object detected. The reverse
sensing alert can be disabled and if
visual park aid alert is enabled,
highlighted areas are still displayed.
Selectable settings for this feature are
ON and OFF.

When manual zoom is on, the
full area behind the vehicle is not
shown. Be aware of your surroundings
when using the manual zoom feature.
Note: Manual zoom is only available
when the transmission is in R
(Reverse).
Note: When manual zoom is enabled,
only the centerline is shown.
This allows you to get a closer view of
an object behind the vehicle. The
zoomed image keeps the bumper in
the image to provide a reference. The
zoom is only active while the
transmission is in R (Reverse). When
the transmission is shifted out of R
(Reverse), the feature automatically
turns off and must be reset when it is

Following a Vehicle
WARNINGS
When following a vehicle in front
of you, your vehicle will not
decelerate automatically to a stop,
nor will your vehicle always decelerate
quickly enough to avoid a crash
without driver intervention. Always
apply the brakes when necessary.
Failing to do so may result in a crash,
serious injury or death.
Adaptive cruise control only
warns of vehicles detected by
the radar sensor. In some cases there
may be no warning or the warning
may be delayed. The driver should
always apply the brakes when
necessary. Failing to do so may result
in a crash, serious injury or death.
Note: The brakes may emit a sound
when modulated by the adaptive cruise
control system.
When a vehicle ahead of you enters
the same lane or a slower vehicle is
ahead in the same lane, the vehicle
speed adjusts to maintain a preset
gap distance. The distance setting is
adjustable.
The lead vehicle graphic will
illuminate.
The vehicle will maintain a constant
distance between the vehicle ahead
until:
• the vehicle in front of you accelerates to a speed above the
set speed
• the vehicle in front of you moves out of your lane or out of view

Cruise Control

E131358
The current assessment of your
alertness is within a typical range.
E131359
The current assessment of your
alertness indicates that you should
rest as soon as safely possible.
The status bar will travel from left to
right as the calculated alertness level
decreases. As the rest icon is
approached the color turns from
green to yellow to red.
• Green - No rest required.
• Yellow - First warning is active.
• Red - Second warning is active.
Note:If you have recently received a
warning; you should consider resting,
even if the current assessment is with
the typical range.
Note: The alertness level will be
shown in grey for a short time if the
camera sensor cannot track the road
lane markings or if the vehicle speed
drops below approximately 40 mph
(64 km/h), after which the system
display will inform the driver that the
system is unavailable. Resetting the System
You can reset the system by either:
• Switching the ignition off and on.
• Stopping the vehicle and then
opening and closing the driver’s
door.
LANE KEEPING SYSTEM (IF
EQUIPPED)
WARNING
The system is designed to aid the
driver. It is not intended to
replace the driver’s attention and
judgment. The driver is still
responsible to drive with due care and
attention.
Note: The system works above 40
mph (64 km/h).
Note: The system works as long as one
lane marking can be detected by the
camera.
Note: If the camera is blocked or if the
windshield is damaged, the system
may not function.
Note: When Aid mode is on and the
system detects no driver steering
activity for a short continuous period
of time, the system alerts the driver to
put their hands on the steering wheel.
The system may detect a light
grip/touch on the steering wheel as
hands off driving.

Driving Aids

Note:It is possible to get a blockage
warning with no blockage present; this
is rare and known as a false blockage
warning. A false blocked condition
either self-corrects or clears after a key
cycle.
E142443
The system uses radar sensors which
are located behind the bumper fascia
on each side of your vehicle. Do not
allow these areas to become
obstructed by mud, snow or bumper
stickers, as this can cause degraded
system performance.
If the system detects a degraded
performance condition, a message
warning of a blocked sensor or a
message warning of low visibility will
appear in the information display and
the alert indicator illuminates in the
appropriate mirror(s). The information
display warning can be cleared but
the alert indicator remains
illuminated.
When the blockage is removed, the
system can be reset in two ways:
• when at least two objects are detected while driving, or
• turn the ignition from on to off, then back on. If the blockage is still present after the
key cycle, the system senses again
that it is blocked after driving in traffic.
Reasons for messages being
displayed
Clean the fascia area infront of the radar or
remove the obstruction.
The radar
surface is dirty or
obstructed
Drive normally in trafficfor a few minutes to
allow the radar to detect
passing vehicles so it can clear the blocked state.
The radar
surface is not dirty or
obstructed
No action required. Thesystem automatically
resets to an unblocked
state once the rainfall or snowfall rate decreases
or stops. Do not use BLIS or cross traffic alert in these conditions.
Heavy
rainfall/
snowfall
interferes with the radar
signals
System Limitations
The BLIS and cross traffic alert
systems do have their limitations;
situations such as severe weather
conditions or debris build-up on the
sensor area may limit vehicle
detection.

Driving Aids

If the front end of the vehicle is hit or
damaged, the radar sensing zone may
be altered causing missed or false
collision warnings. See your
authorized dealer to have your
collision warning radar checked for
proper coverage and operation.
STEERING
Electric Power Steering
WARNINGS
The electric power steering
system has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor the system
to ensure proper operation. When a
system error is detected a steering
message will appear in the
information display.
The electric power steering
system has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor the system
to ensure proper operation of the
electronic system. When an electronic
error is detected, a message will be
displayed in the information display.
If this happens, stop the vehicle in a
safe place, and turn off the engine.
After at least 10 seconds, reset the
system by restarting the engine, and
watch the information display for a
steering message. If a steering
message returns, or returns while
driving, take the vehicle to your dealer
to have it checked.
WARNINGS
Obtain immediate service if a
system error is detected. You
may not notice any difference in the
feel of your steering, but a serious
condition may exist. Failure to do so
may result in loss of steering control.
Your vehicle is equipped with an
electric power-assisted steering
system. There is no fluid reservoir to
check or fill.
If your vehicle loses electrical power
while you are driving (or if the ignition
is turned off), you can steer the
vehicle manually, but it takes more
effort. Extreme continuous steering
may increase the effort it takes for you
to steer. This occurs to prevent
internal overheating and permanent
damage to your steering system. If this
should occur, you will neither lose the
ability to steer the vehicle manually
nor will it cause permanent damage.
Typical steering and driving
maneuvers will allow the system to
cool and steering assist will return to
normal.
Steering Tips
If the steering wanders or pulls, check
for:
• an improperly inflated tire
• uneven tire wear
• loose or worn suspension components
• loose or worn steering components
• improper vehicle alignment
