528 MAINTAINING AND CARING FOR YOUR VEHICLE

•If frequent engine coolant (antifreeze) additions are
required, the cooling system should be pressure tested
for leaks.
•Maintain engine coolant (antifreeze) concentration at a
minimum of 50% OAT coolant (conforming to
MS.90032) and distilled water for proper corrosion
protection of your engine which contains aluminum
components.
•Keep the front of the radiator clean. If your vehicle is
equipped with air conditioning, keep the front of the
condenser clean.
•Do not change the thermostat for Summer or Winter
operation. If replacement is ever necessary, install
ONLY the correct type thermostat. Other designs may
result in unsatisfactory engine coolant (antifreeze)
performance, poor gas mileage, and increased emis-
sions.Brake System
In order to assure brake system performance, all brake
system components should be inspected periodically.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper
maintenance intervals.
WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure and
possibly a collision. Driving with your foot resting or
riding on the brake pedal can result in abnormally
high brake temperatures, excessive lining wear, and
possible brake damage. Riding the brakes may also
reduce braking capacity in an emergency.
Brake Master Cylinder
The fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked
when performing under hood services, or immediately if
the “Brake Warning Light” is on.

Press the “Parkview Backup camera Delay” button
on the touchscreen to turn the ParkView Delay ON or
OFF.
•ParkView Backup Camera Active Guide Lines — If
Equipped
When this feature is enabled, active (dynamic) grid
lines are overlaid on the Rear Backup Camera image
to illustrate the width of the vehicle and its projected
back up path based on the steering wheel position. A
dashed center line overlay indicates the center of the
vehicle to assist with parking or aligning to a hitch/
receiver.
•ParkView Backup Camera Fixed Guide Lines — If
Equipped
When this feature is enabled, fixed (static) grid lines
are overlaid on the Rear Backup Camera image to
illustrate the width of the vehicle.•Forward Collision Warning-Plus (FCW+) — If
Equipped
The Front Collision Warning (FCW+) feature can be can
be set to Far, or set to Near. The default status of FCW+
is the Far setting. This means the system will warn you of
a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you when
you are farther away. This gives you the most reaction
time. To change the setting for a more dynamic driving
experience, select the Near setting. This warns you of a
possible collision when you are much closer to the
vehicle in front of you. To change the FCW+ status, press
and release the “Near” or “Far” button.
•Forward Collision Warning-Plus (FCW+) Active
Braking — If Equipped
The FCW+ system includes Advanced Brake Assist
(ABA). When this feature is selected, it will apply the
brakes to slow your vehicle in case of potential
forward collision. The ABA applies additional brake
pressure when the driver requests insufficient brake

•Electric Park Brake Service Mode
This feature provides a means for a technician or vehicle
owner to utilize a vehicle integrated, menu driven sys-
tem, to command the electric park brake retraction, to
service the rear foundation brakes (brake pads, calipers,
rotors, etc.).
For further information, refer to “Electric Park Brake
(EPD)” in “Starting and Operating.”
Lights
After pressing the “Lights” button on the touchscreen the
following settings will be available.
•Headlight Sensitivity
When this feature is selected, it allows the Headlight
Sensitivity to be adjusted according to three levels:
Level 1 = minimum sensitivity
Level 2 = medium sensitivityLevel 3 = maximum sensitivity
NOTE:The greater the sensitivity set, the less the exter-
nal light variation required to turn on the lights (e.g. with
a setting on level 3 at sunset the headlights turn on earlier
than in levels 1 and 2). To change the Headlight Sensi-
tivity setting, press the “1,” “2” or “3” button on the
touchscreen to select your desired Headlight Sensitivity
level.
•Headlight Off Delay
When this feature is selected, it allows the adjustment of
the amount of time the headlights remain on after the
engine is shut off. To change the Headlights Off Delay
setting, press the Headlights Off Delay button on the
touchscreen, and choose either 0 sec, 30 sec, 60 sec or 90
seconds. The selected button will highlight indicating

•Forward Collision Warning-Plus (FCW+) Active
Braking — If Equipped
The FCW+ system includes Advanced Brake Assist
(ABA). When this feature is selected, it will apply the
brakes to slow your vehicle in case of potential forward
collision. The ABA applies additional brake pressure
when the driver requests insufficient brake pressure to
avoid a potential frontal collision. The ABA system
becomes active at 5 mph (8 km/h). To change the Active
Braking status, press the “Active Braking” button and
select the “On” or “Off” button.
For further information, refer to “Forward Collision
Warning-Plus (FCW+) With Mitigation” in “Safety.”
•LaneSense Warning — If Equipped
When this feature is selected, it sets the distance at which
the steering wheel will provide feedback for potential
lane departures. The LDW sensitivity can be set toprovide either an “early,” “medium,” or “late” warning
zone start point. To change the LaneSense Warning
status, press the “LaneSense Warning” button and select
from the “Early,” “Med,” or “Late” buttons.
For further information, refer to “LaneSense Warning
(LDW)” in “Starting And Operating.”
•LaneSense Strength — If Equipped
When this feature is selected, it sets the strength of the
steering wheel feedback for potential lane departures.
The amount of directional torque the steering system can
apply to the steering wheel to correct for vehicle lane
departure can be set at “Low,” “Med” or “High.” To
change the LaneSense Strength status, Press the “La-
neSense Strength” button and select from the “Low,”
“Medium” or “High” buttons.
For further information, refer to “Lane Departure Warn-
ing (LDW)” in “Starting And Operating.”
