Information
This section provides a brief
overview about some of the
important features that may or may
not be on your specific vehicle.
For more detailed information, refer
to each of the features which can be
found later in this owner manual.
Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) System
If equipped, the RKE transmitter is
used to remotely lock and unlock
the doors from up to 10 m (33 ft)
away from the vehicle.

hold to accelerate. If cruise control
is already active, use to increase
vehicle speed.
COAST/SET:Press briefly to set
the speed and activate cruise
control, or press and hold to
decelerate. If cruise control is
already active, use to decrease
vehicle speed.
CANCEL: Press to disengage
cruise control without erasing the
set speed from memory.
See Cruise Control on page 9-28.
Trip Computer
The vehicle may have a trip
computer. It provides the driver with
driving information such as the
driving distance for the remaining
fuel, average fuel economy, and
instant fuel economy.
Use the trip odometer reset stem in
the cluster to cycle through the
available trip computer displays.
SeeTrip Computer on page 5-20.
Rear Vision
Camera (RVC)
If equipped, RVC displays a view of
the area behind the vehicle, on the
infotainment system display, when
the vehicle is shifted into
R (Reverse).
SeeRear Vision Camera (RVC) on
page 9-31.
Parking Assist
If equipped, this system uses
sensors on the rear bumper to
assist with parking and avoiding
objects while in R (Reverse).
It operates at speeds less than
5 km/h (3 mph). Rear Parking Assist
(RPA) uses audible beeps to
provide distance and system
information.
Keep the sensors on the vehicle's
rear bumper clean to ensure proper
operation.
See Parking Assist on page 9-30.
Power Outlets
The accessory power outlets can be
used to plug in electrical equipment,
such as a cell phone or an MP3
player.
The vehicle may have two
accessory power outlets:
.Near the bottom of the center
stack.
.On the rear of the center floor
console.
Remove the cover to access and
replace when not in use.
See Power Outlets on page 5-4.

5-12 Instruments and Controls
OBD II system has detected a
problem and diagnosis and service
might be required.
Malfunctions often are indicated by
the system before any problem is
apparent. Being aware of the light
can prevent more serious damage
to the vehicle. This system also
assists the service technician in
correctly diagnosing any
malfunction.
{Caution
If the vehicle is continually driven
with this light on, the emission
controls might not work as well,
the vehicle fuel economy might
not be as good, and the engine
might not run as smoothly. This
could lead to costly repairs that
might not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
{Caution
Modifications made to the engine,
transmission, exhaust, intake,
or fuel system of the vehicle or
the replacement of the original
tires with other than those of the
same size and type as the
originals can affect the vehicle's
emission controls and can cause
this light to come on.
Modifications to these systems
could lead to costly repairs not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
This could also result in a failure
to pass a required Emission
Inspection/Maintenance test. See
Accessories and Modifications on
page 10-3.
This light comes on during a
malfunction in one of two ways:
Light Flashing: A misfire condition
has been detected. A misfire
increases vehicle emissions and could damage the emission control
system on the vehicle. Diagnosis
and service might be required.
To prevent more serious damage to
the vehicle:
.Do not drive at speeds above
72 km/h (45 mph)
.Avoid hard accelerations.
.Avoid steep uphill grades.
If the light continues to flash, find a
safe place to stop and park the
vehicle. Turn the vehicle off, wait at
least 10 seconds, and restart the
engine. If the light is still flashing,
follow the previous steps and see
your dealer for service as soon as
possible.
Light On Steady: An emission
control system malfunction has
been detected on the vehicle.
Diagnosis and service might be
required.

new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier
replacement. Follow this
breaking-in guideline every
time you get new brake
linings.
Following break-in, engine speed
and load can be gradually
increased.
Ignition Positions
The ignition lock is designed so that
the ignition switch cannot be turned
to the LOCK position until the shift
lever is moved to the P (Park)
position.
.When placing the ignition switch
in the LOCK position, make sure
that the shift lever is in the
P (Park) position.
.When removing the key from the
ignition switch (if it is inserted),
make sure that the shift lever is
in the P (Park) position.
When the ignition switch cannot be
placed to the LOCK position:
1. Shift the shift lever to the P (Park) position.
2. Move the ignition switch slightly in the ON direction.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
4. Remove the key if it is inserted in the ignition switch.
{Warning
Turning off the vehicle while
moving may cause loss of power
assist in the brake and steering
systems and disable the airbags.
While driving, only shut the
vehicle off in an emergency.
If the ignition switch is placed to the
LOCK position, the shift lever
cannot be moved from the P (Park)
position.
The shift lever can be moved if the
ignition switch is in the ON position
and the foot brake pedal is
depressed.
There is an OFF position between
the LOCK and ACC positions. The
OFF position is indicated by a “1”on
the key cylinder.

Driver Assistance
Systems
Parking Assist
{Warning
.Always turn and look back
before backing up. The RPA
is not a substitute for proper
backing procedures. (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Read and understand the
limitations of the rear parking
assist system as contained in
this section. Inclement
weather may affect the
function of the RPA; this may
include reduced performance
or a false activation.
.This system is not designed
to prevent contact with small
or moving objects.
.The system is designed as a
aid to the driver in detecting
large stationary objects to
help avoid damaging the
vehicle. The system will not
detect small objects below
the bumper, and may not
detect objects close to the
bumper or on the ground.
.If your vehicle sustains
damage to the rear bumper
fascia, leaving it misaligned(Continued)

Warning (Continued)
or bent, the sensing zone
may be altered causing
inaccurate measurement of
obstacles or false alarms.
The Rear Parking Assist (RPA)
sounds a tone to warn the driver of
obstacles near the rear bumper
when the shift lever is in
R (Reverse). The system may not
detect objects at speeds above
5 km/h (3 mph) and may not detect
certain angular or moving objects.
The RPA detects objects up to 1.8 m
(5.9 ft) from the rear bumper with a
decreased coverage area at the
outer corners of the bumper. As you
move closer to the obstacle, the rate
of the tone increases. When the
obstacle is less than 25 cm (10 in)
away, the tone will sound
continuously. If the RPA detects a
stationary or receding object further
than 25 cm (10 in) from the side of
the vehicle, the tone will sound for only three seconds. Once the
system detects an object
approaching, the tone will sound
again.
The RPA automatically turns on
when the shift lever is placed in
R (Reverse) and the ignition switch
is in ON. The RPA OFF switch on
the instrument panel allows the
driver to turn the RPA on and off. To
turn the RPA off, the ignition switch
must be placed in ON. An indicator
light on the switch will illuminate
when the system is turned off. If the
indicator light illuminates when the
RPA is not turned off, it may indicate
a malfunction in the RPA.
Keep the RPA sensors, located on
the rear bumper, free from snow,
ice, and large accumulations of dirt.
Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects. If the sensors are covered,
it will affect the accuracy of
the RPA.
Rear Vision
Camera (RVC)
When the shift lever is shifted into
R (Reverse), the display shows the
view to the rear of the vehicle.
{Warning
.Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions for proper
use of the Rear Vision
Camera (RVC) could result in
serious injury or death.
.The RVC is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for
proper backing. Always turn
and look out the windows,
and check mirrors to be sure
that it is safe to move before
operating the vehicle. Always
back up slowly.
.The system is designed as an
aid to the driver in showing
large stationary objects
