Running the Vehicle
While Parked
It is better not to park with the
engine running.
If the vehicle is left with the engine
running, follow the proper steps to
be sure the vehicle will not move.

Transmission) 0230
iiand Engine
Exhaust 0233ii.
Automatic
Transmission
Press the select button on the front
of the shift lever to move into any
position.
When the shift lever position is
changed, the lever position is
indicated on the bottom of the Driver
Information Center (DIC).
The engine will not start unless the
shift lever is in P (Park) or
N (Neutral). P :
This position locks the rear
wheels. It is the best position to use
when the engine is started because
the vehicle cannot move easily.
{Warning
It is dangerous to get out of the
vehicle if the shift lever is not fully
in P (Park) with the parking brake
firmly set. The vehicle can roll.
Do not leave the vehicle when the
engine is running. If you have left
the engine running, the vehicle
can move suddenly. You or others
could be injured. To be sure the
vehicle will not move, even when
you are on fairly level ground,
always set the parking brake and
move the shift lever to P (Park).

240 Driving and Operating
avoid a sudden obstacle, a
computer senses the wheels are
slowing down. If one of the wheels
is about to stop rolling, the computer
will separately work the brakes at
each wheel.
ABS can change the brake pressure
to each wheel, as required, faster
than any driver could. This can help
you steer around the obstacle while
braking hard.
As the brakes are applied, the
computer keeps receiving updates
on wheel speed and controls
braking pressure accordingly.
Remember: ABS does not change
the time needed to get a foot up to
the brake pedal or always decrease
stopping distance. If you get too
close to the vehicle in front of you,
there will not be enough time to
apply the brakes if that vehicle
suddenly slows or stops. Always
leave enough room up ahead to
stop, even with ABS.Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just hold
the brake pedal down firmly and let
ABS work. You may hear the ABS
pump or motor operating and feel
the brake pedal pulsate. This is
normal.
Braking in Emergencies
ABS allows you to steer and brake
at the same time. In many
emergencies, steering can help
more than even the very best
braking.
Electric Parking Brake
The vehicle has an Electric Parking
Brake (EPB). The switch is on the
center console. The EPB can
always be activated, even if the
ignition is off. To prevent draining
the battery, avoid repeated cycles of
the EPB when the engine is not
running.
The system has a red parking brake
status light and an amber parking
brake warning light. SeeElectric
Parking Brake Light 0100
iiand
Service Electric Parking Brake Light

ii. There are also parking
brake-related Driver Information
Center (DIC) messages. See Brake
System Messages 0110
ii. In case of
insufficient electrical power, the EPB
cannot be applied or released.
Before leaving the vehicle, check
the red parking brake status light to
ensure that the parking brake is
applied.
EPB Apply
To apply the EPB:
1. Be sure the vehicle is at a complete stop.

Torque Vectoring
This feature uses StabiliTrak to
detect when the vehicle is starting to
understeer and helps to correct it.
Torque is transferred across the rear
axle from the inside wheel to the
outside wheel. If StabiliTrak is
turned off Torque Vectoring will be
unavailable. Magnetic Ride Control (MRC)
Touring: Use for normal city and
highway driving.
Sport: Use where road conditions or
personal preference demand more
control. This setting selects a
suspension calibration that provides
a firmer reaction to road conditions.
Performance/Track: This is the
firmest setting. This setting is for
smoother road surfaces and when a
more performance-oriented
suspension style is preferred.
It provides better high speed
stability, handling response, and
body control.Based on road conditions, steering
wheel angle, and vehicle speed, the
system automatically adjusts to
provide the best handling while
providing a smooth ride. The
Touring and Sport modes will feel
similar on a smooth road. These
settings can be changed when
driving conditions change.
If a malfunction occurs with the
MRC system, the appropriate
message will display in the DIC.

Track Driver Mode
Track Driver Mode and Launch
Control are systems designed to
allow increased performance while
accelerating and/or cornering. This
is accomplished by regulating and
optimizing the engine, brakes, andsuspension performance. These
modes are for use at a closed
course race track and are not
intended for use on public roads.
These systems will not compensate
for driver inexperience or lack of
familiarity with the race track.
{Warning
Track Driver Mode and Launch
Control change the way
StabiliTrak and TCS perform and
should not be used on public
roads. These modes should only
be used on closed courses by
experienced drivers.
Caution
Attempting to shift when the drive
wheels are spinning and do not
have traction may cause damage
to the transmission. Damage
caused by misuse of the vehicle
is not covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not attempt to shift
when the drive wheels do not
have traction.
Racing will result in the premature
wear of brakes, tires, and driveline
components. Inspect and replace
components as necessary.

Limited-Slip Rear Axle
Vehicles with a limited-slip rear axle
can give more traction on snow,
mud, ice, sand, or gravel. When
traction is low, this feature allows
the drive wheel with the most
traction to move the vehicle. The
limited-slip rear axle also gives the
driver enhanced control when
cornering hard or completing a
maneuver, such as a lane change.
For vehicles with limited slip
differential, driven under severe
conditions, the rear axle fluid should
be changed. See Track Driver Mode

Cruise Control
With cruise control, the vehicle can
maintain a speed of about 40 km/h
(25 mph) or more without keeping
your foot on the accelerator. Cruise
control does not work at speeds
below 40 km/h (25 mph).
{Warning
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at
a steady speed. Do not use
cruise control on winding roads or
in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous
on slippery roads. On such roads,
fast changes in tire traction can
cause excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Do not use
cruise control on slippery roads.
If the vehicle has the StabiliTrak
®
system and begins to limit wheel
spin while using cruise control, the
cruise control will automatically
disengage. See Traction Control/
