VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors for unauthorized entry and the Keyless
Enter-N-Go™ START/STOP button for unauthorized operation. While the Vehicle Security
Alarm is armed, interior switches for door locks and decklid release are disabled. If something
triggers the alarm, the Vehicle Security Alarm will provide the following audible and visible
signals: the horn will pulse, the park lamps and/or turn signals will flash, and the Vehicle Security
Light in the instrument cluster will flash.
To A r m :
•PushtheKeylessEnter-N-Go™START/STOPbuttonuntiltheDriverInformationDisplay
(DID) indicates that the vehicle ignition is “OFF.” Push the power door lock switch while the
door is open, push the Key Fob LOCK button, or with one of the Key Fobs located outside the
vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver's and passenger front door handles, push the
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ LOCK button located on the door handle.
NOTE:
After pushing the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ LOCK button, you must wait two seconds before youcan lock or unlock the vehicle via the door handle.

too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug seat belt reduces the risk of sliding
under the seat belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt across the shoulder and chest with minimal, if any slack so that it is
comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the shoulder
belt.

•WhentheElectronicSpeedControlisset,youcanincreasespeedbypushingtheSET+
button.
The drivers preferred units can be selected through the instrument panel settings if equipped.
Refer to “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner’s Manual on the DVD for more
information. The speed increment shown is dependant on the speed of U.S. (mph) or Metric
(km/h) units:
U.S. Speed (mph)
• Pushing the SET+button once will result in a 1 mph increase in set speed. Each subsequent tap
of the button results in an increase of 1 mph.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to increase until the button is
released, then the new set speed will be established.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)
If your vehicle is equipped with Adaptive
Cruise Control the controls operate exactly the
same as the electronic speed control with only a
couple of differences. With this option you can
set a specified distance you would like to main-
tain 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
•PushandreleasetheAdaptiveCruiseCon-
trol (ACC) ON/OFF button.
ACC READY will appear in the Driver Infor-
mation Display (DID) to indicate the ACC is on.
•PushandreleasetheAdaptiveCruiseControl(ACC)ON/OFFbuttonasecondtimetoturn
the system off.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Off will appear in the Driver Information Display (DID) to
indicate the ACC is off.

To Increase Speed
While ACC is set, you can increase the set speed by pushing the SET+button.
The drivers preferred units can be selected through the instrument panel settings if equipped.
Refer to “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner’s Manual on the DVD for more
information. The speed increment shown is dependant on the speed of U.S. (mph) or Metric
(km/h) units:
U.S. Speed (mph)
• Pushing the SET+button once will result in a 1 mph increase in set speed. Each subsequent tap
of the button results in an increase of 1 mph.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to increase in 5 mph increments
until the button is released. The increase in set speed is reflected in the DID.

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 DID.
• To increase the distance setting, push the Distance Setting—Increase button and release. Each
time the button is pushed, the distance setting increases by one bar (longer).
• To decrease the distance setting, push the Distance Setting—Decrease button and release.
Each time the button is pushed, the distance setting decreases by one bar (shorter).
Changing Modes (ACC Only)
If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can be operated
as a normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control mode. When in the normal (Fixed Speed) Speed
Control mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and the system will maintain the speed
you set.
• To change between the different cruise control modes, push the ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL (ACC ) ON/OFF button which turns the ACC and the normal (Fixed Speed)
Speed Control OFF.
•Pushingthenormal(FixedSpeed)SPEEDCONTROLON/OFFbuttonwillresultinturning

WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for activedriving involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of road, traffic, andweather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead; and, most importantly, brakeoperation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your completeattention is always required while driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure tofollow these warnings can result in a collision and death or serious personal injury.The ACC system:•Doesnotreacttopedestrians,oncomingvehicles,andstationaryobjects(e.g.,astopped
vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may be limited upon
adverse sight distance conditions.
•Doesnotalwaysfullyrecognizecomplexdrivingconditions,whichcanresultinwrongor
missing distance warnings.
•Willbringthevehicletoacompletestopwhilefollowingatargetvehicleandholdthevehicle for 2 seconds in the stop position. If the target vehicle does not start moving withintwo seconds the ACC system will display a message that the system will release the brakesand that the brakes must be applied manually. An audible chime will sound when thebrakes are released.
Yo u s h o u l d s w i t c h o f f t h e A C C s y s t e m :
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving
situations (i.e., in highway construction zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp; when driving on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill slopes.
• When towing a trailer up or down steep slopes.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.
The Cruise Control system has two control modes:
•AdaptiveCruiseControlmodeformaintaininganappropriatedistancebetweenvehicles.• Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed control mode for cruising at a constant presetspeed. For additional information, refer to “Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control Mode”in this section.
Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed control will not react to preceding vehicles. Always be
aware of the mode selected.
You can change the mode by using the Cruise Control buttons. The two control modes
function differently. Always confirm which mode is selected.
FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW)
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the driver with audible warnings and
visual warnings within the Driver Information Display (DID), to warn the driver when it detects a
potential frontal collision. The warnings 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.
