WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active
driving involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of road,
traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead; and, most
importantly, brake operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road
conditions. Your complete attention is always required while driving to maintain safe
control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision and
death or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
•Doesnotreacttopedestrians,oncomingvehicles,andstationaryobjects(e.g.,a
stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
•Cannottakestreet,traffic,andweatherconditionsintoaccount,andmaybelimited
upon adverse sight distance conditions.
•Doesnotalwaysfullyrecognizecomplexdrivingconditions,whichcanresultin
wrong or missing distance warnings.
•Canonlyapplyamaximumof40%ofthevehicle’sbrakingcapability,andwillnot

This setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” setting, which allows for a more
dynamic driving experience.
More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to avoid frequent warnings may prefer this
setting.
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its own, nor can
FCW detect every type of potential collision. The driver has the responsibility to avoid
acollisionbycontrollingthevehicleviabrakingandsteering.Failuretofollowthis
warning could lead to serious injury or death.
PARKSENSE® REAR PARK ASSIST
The four 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 approximately 12 in (30 cm) up to 79 in (200 cm)
from the rear bumper while the vehicle is in REVERSE, a warning will display in the Driver
Information Display (DID) only when (Sound and Display is selected from the Uconnect®
System). As the vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the (DID) will show fewer arcs and
the sound tone will change from slow, to fast, to continuous.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
AUTOSTICK
AutoStick is a driver-interactive transmission feature providing manual shift control,
giving you more control of the vehicle. AutoStick allows you to maximize engine braking,
eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall vehicle performance.
This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city driving, cold
slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer towing, and many other situations.
Operation
When the shift lever is in the DRIVE (D) position, the transmission will operate automatically,
shifting between the eight available gears. To activate AutoStick, move the shift lever into the
MANUAL (M) position (beside the DRIVE position). The current transmission gear will be
displayed in the instrument cluster, along with a highlighted "M" (Manual) indication. When
the shift lever is in the MANUAL (M) position, tap the shift lever forward (-) (or tap the (-) shift
paddle on the steering wheel, if equipped) to downshift the transmission to the next lower
gear, or tap the lever rearward (+) (or tap the (+) shift paddle, if equipped) to command an
upshift.

lever is in DRIVE, will activate a temporary AutoStick mode. Tapping (-) to enter AutoStick
mode will downshift the transmission to the next lower gear, while using (+) to enter
AutoStick mode will retain the current gear. The current gear will be displayed in the
instrument cluster, but the "M" will not be highlighted. The transmission will revert back
to normal operation (if the shift lever remains in DRIVE) after a period of time, depending
on accelerator pedal activity.
In AutoStick mode, the transmission will shift up or down when (+/-) is manually selected
by the driver (using the shift lever, or the shift paddles [if equipped]), unless an engine
lugging or overspeed condition would result. It will remain in the selected gear until
another upshift or downshift is chosen, except as described below.
•IntemporaryAutoStickmode(shiftleverinDRIVE),thetransmissionwillautomatically
shift up when maximum engine speed is reached. If the accelerator is fully depressed,
the transmission will downshift when possible (based on current vehicle speed and
gear). Lack of accelerator pedal activity will cause the transmission to revert to
automatic operation.
•IfnormalAutoStickmodeisengaged(shiftleverinMANUALposition),manualgear
selection will be maintained until the shift lever is returned to DRIVE, or as described
below. The transmission will not upshift automatically at redline in this mode, nor will
downshifts be obtained if the accelerator pedal is pressed to the floor.

hold the (+) shift paddle (if equipped, and the shift lever is already in DRIVE) until “D” is
once again indicated in the instrument cluster. You can shift in or out of the AutoStick
mode at any time without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive wheels
could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or personal injury.

for typical enthusiast driving. The engine, transmission (when equipped with automatic
transmission), and steering systems are all set to their SPORT settings. Sport Mode will
provide improved throttle response and modified shifting for an enhanced driving
experience, as well the greatest amount of steering feel. This mode may be activated and
deactivated by pressing the Sport button on the instrument panel switch bank.
For vehicles equipped with Drive Modes, Refer to “Performance Control — If Equipped”
within “Uconnect Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” chapter on your
DVD or in the “Drive Mode Supplement” within your Owners information kit for further
information.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION 1 TO 4 SKIP SHIFT
There are times when you must shift the transmission directly from first gear to fourth gear
instead of from first gear to second gear. This is to help you get the best possible fuel
economy from your vehicle. This occurs when the engine coolant (antifreeze) is higher
than 106°F (41°C), vehicle speed is greater than 19 mph (30 km/h) but less than 21 mph
(34 km/h), and the transmission is in first gear, and the accelerator is at¼throttle or less.
After you shift the transmission to fourth gear, you can press the clutch in and shift to
another forward gear.
