SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) —
AIR BAGS
Air Bag System Components
Your vehicle may be equipped with the following air bag system components:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
• Air Bag Warning Light
• Steering Wheel and Column
• Instrument Panel
• Knee Impact Bolsters
• Advanced Front Air Bags
• Supplemental Side Air Bags
• Supplemental Knee Air Bags
• Front and Side Impact Sensors
• Seat Belt Pretenioners
• Seat Belt Buckle Switch
• Seat Track Position Sensors
• Occupant Classification System
Advanced Front Air Bags
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger as asupplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in
every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplementing the seat belts. Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce the risk of injury in rear, side,
or rollover collisions.
• The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including some that may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions, truck underrides, and
angle offset collisions.
• On the other hand, depending on the type and location of impact, Advanced Front Air Bags may deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but that produce a severe initial
deceleration.
• Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and damage by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should have deployed.
• Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all collisions, and also are needed to help keep you in position, away from an inflating air bag.
• The air bags must be ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the internal circuits and interconnecting wiring associated with air
bag system electrical components.

• The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel for approximately fourto eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN
position. After the self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light will turn off. If the ORC detects a
malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the Air Bag Warning Light, either momen-
tarily or continuously. A single chime will sound to alert you if the light comes on again after
initial startup.
• The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the air bag system whenever the ignition switch is in the START or ON/RUN position. If the ignition switch is in the OFF
position or in the ACC position, the air bag system is not on and the air bags will not inflate.
• If the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel is not on during the four to eight seconds when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, stays on, or turns on while
driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine related gauges are not working, the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. In this condition the air bags may not be ready
to inflate for your protection. Have an authorized dealer service the air bag system immediately.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in another
collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
• If it is necessary to modify the air bag system for persons with disabilities, contact your authorized dealer.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
Occupant Classification System
This vehicle is equipped with a right front passenger Occupant Classification System (“OCS”)
that is designed to provide Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag output appropriate to the
occupant’s seated weight input, as determined by the OCS.
The Occupant Classification System (OCS) consists of the following:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
• Occupant Classification Module (OCM) and Sensor located in the front passenger seat
• Air Bag Warning Light
The OCS will NOT prevent deployment of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag. The OCS may
reduce the inflation rate of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag if the OCS estimates that:
• The front passenger seat is unoccupied or has very light objects on it; or
• The front passenger seat is occupied by a small passenger, including a child; or
• The front passenger seat is occupied by a rear-facing child restraint; or
• The front passenger is not properly seated or his or her weight is taken off of the seat for aperiod of time.

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 acceleration
automatically to maintain a preset following
distance, while matching the speed of the ve-
hicle 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 Cruise Con-trol (ACC) ON/OFF button.
ACC READY will appear in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or Driver
Information Display (DID) 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 in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID) 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/DID.
• 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).

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) WITH
MITIGATION
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system with mitigation provides the driver with audible
warnings, visual warnings (within the EVIC/DID), and may apply a brake jerk to warn the driver
when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings and limited braking are intended to
provide the driver with enough time to react, avoid or mitigate the potential collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the forward looking sensors as well as the Electronic Brake
Controller (EBC), to calculate the probability of a forward collision. When the system determines
that a forward collision is probable, the driver will be provided with audible and visual warnings
and may provide a brake jerk warning. If the driver does not take action based upon these
progressive warnings, then the system will provide a limited level of active braking to help slow the
vehicle and mitigate the potential forward collision. If the driver reacts to the warnings by braking
and the system determines that the driver intends to avoid the collision by braking but has not
applied sufficient brake force, the system will compensate and provide additional brake force as
required.
Turning FCW ON Or OFF
NOTE:
The default status of FCW is “On”, this allows the system to warn you of a possible collision with
the vehicle in front of you when you are farther away and it applies limited braking. This gives you
the most reaction time to avoid a possible collision.
The forward collision button is on the switch panel that is located in the center of the instrument
panel.
•
To turn the FCW system OFF, press the for-
ward collision button once (LED turns on).
•To turn the FCW system back ON, press the
forward collision button again (LED turns off ).
Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature has two settings and can be
changed within the Uconnect® System Screen:
•Far
• Near
NOTE:
The FCW and active braking settings can only
be changed when the vehicle is in PARK.

PARKSENSE®
ParkSense® Front And Rear Park Assist
ParkSense® can be enabled and disabled by pressing the ParkSense® switch located on the switch
panel below the Uconnect® display.
The six 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 approxi-
mately 12 in (30 cm) up to 79 in (200 cm) from
the rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal direc-
tion, depending on the location, type and ori-
entation of the obstacle.
The six ParkSense® sensors, located in the front
fascia/bumper, monitor the area in front of the
vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view.
The sensors can detect obstacles from approxi-
mately 12 in (30 cm) up to 47 in (120 cm) from
the front fascia/bumper in the horizontal direc-
tion, depending on the location, type and ori-
entation of the obstacle.
When an object is detected within 2 meters behind the rear bumper while the vehicle is in
REVERSE, a warning will display in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or Driver
Information Display (DID). In addition a chime will sound (when Sound and Display is selected
from the Customer Programmable Features screen of the Uconnect® System). As the vehicle
moves closer to the object, the chime rate will change from single 1/2 second tone (for rear only),
to slow (for rear only), to fast, to continuous.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

ParkSense® Active Park Assist
The ParkSense® Active Park Assist system can be enabled and disabled with the ParkSense®
Active Park Assist switch, located on the switch panel below the Uconnect® display.
The ParkSense® Active Park Assist system is
intended to assist the driver during parallel and
perpendicular parking maneuvers by identify-
ing a proper parking space, providing audible/
visual instructions, and controlling the steering
wheel. The ParkSense® Active Park Assist sys-
tem is defined as “semi-automatic” since the
driver maintains control of the accelerator, shift
lever and brakes. Depending on the driver’s
parking maneuver selection, the ParkSense®
Active Park Assist system is capable of maneu-
vering a vehicle into a parallel or a perpendicu-
lar parking space on either side (i.e., driver side
or passenger side).
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for
further details.
CAUTION!
•ParkSense® is only a parking aid and it is unable to recognize every obstacle, including small
obstacles. Parking curbs might be temporarily detected or not detected at all. Obstacles
located above or below the sensors will not be detected when they are in close proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly when using ParkSense® in order to be able to stop intime when an obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the driver looks over his/her
shoulder when using ParkSense®.
WARNING!
• Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using ParkSense®. Always checkcarefully behind your vehicle, look behind you, and be sure to check for pedestrians,
animals, other vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before backing up. You are respon-
sible for safety and must continue to pay attention to your surroundings. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.
•
Before using ParkSense®, it is strongly recommended that the ball mount and hitch ball
assembly is disconnected from the vehicle when the vehicle is not used for towing. Failure to do
so can result in injury or damage to vehicles 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 behind the vehicle.

PARKVIEW® REAR BACK-UP CAMERA
You can see an on-screen image of the rear of your vehicle whenever the shift lever 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 rear of the vehicle
above the rear license plate.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up; even when using the ParkView® Rear Back-Up
Camera. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to check for pedestrians,
animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before backing up. You must continue to
pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located inside the rear
bumper fascia, to detect Highway licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motorcycles etc.) that
enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system warning light, located in the outside mirrors, will
illuminate if a vehicle moves into a blind spot zone.
The BSM system can also be configured to sound an audible (chime) alert and mute the radio to
notify you of objects that have entered the detection zones.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
