5. To close the fuel filler door, press the
center-rear edge of the fuel filler door and
then release. The fuel door will latch
closed.
If the fuel fill inlet did not close properly, a
Check Fuel Fill Inlet message may appear
on the instrument cluster.
At the next opportunity, do the following:
1. Safely pull off the road.
2. Put the vehicle in position
P and switch
the ignition off.
3. Open the fuel filler door and remove any visible debris from the fuel fill opening.
4. Insert the fuel fill nozzle, or the fuel fill funnel provided with the vehicle, several
times to allow the inlet to close properly.
This will dislodge any debris preventing
the inlet from sealing.
If this action corrects the problem, the
message may not reset immediately. It may
take several driving cycles for the message
to turn off. A driving cycle consists of an
engine start-up (after four or more hours with
the engine off) followed by city or highway
driving. Continuing to drive with the message
on may cause the service engine soon lamp
to turn on as well. FUEL CONSUMPTION
Empty reserve is the amount of fuel
remaining in the tank after the fuel gauge
indicates empty. The amount of usable fuel
in the empty reserve varies and should not
be relied upon to increase driving range.
•
The usable capacity of the fuel tank is the
amount of fuel that can be added into
the tank after the gauge indicates empty.
• The advertised capacity is the total fuel
tank size. See
Capacities and
Specifications (page 296). It is the
combined usable capacity plus the empty
reserve.
• Due to the empty reserve, you may not
be able to refuel the full amount of the
advertised capacity of the fuel tank even
when the fuel gauge reads empty.
Filling the Tank
For consistent results when refueling:
• Turn the ignition off before fueling; an
inaccurate reading results if the engine is
left running.
• Use the same fill rate (low-medium-high)
each time the tank is filled.
• Allow no more than one automatic
shut-off when refueling. Results are most accurate when the filling
method is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during the first
1,000 mi (1,600 km)
of driving (this is your
engine ’s break-in period). A more accurate
measurement is obtained after
2,000 mi
(3,200 km) to 3,000 mi (4,800 km). Also,
fuel expense, frequency of fill ups or fuel
gauge readings are not accurate ways to
measure fuel economy.
1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer reading.
2. Each time you fill the fuel tank, record the
amount of fuel added.
3. After at least three fill ups, fill the fuel tank and record the current odometer
reading.
4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer reading.
To calculate L/100 km (liters per 100
kilometers) fuel consumption, multiply the
liters used by 100, then divide by kilometers
traveled. To calculate MPG (miles per
gallon) fuel consumption, divide miles
traveled by gallons used.

SelectShift Automatic
™
Transmission (If Equipped)
Your SelectShift Automatic transmission
gives you the ability to change gears
manually.
With your vehicle in Drive (D), the paddle
shifters provide temporary manual control.
They allow you the ability to shift gears
quickly, without taking your hands off the
steering wheel.
You can achieve extensive manual control
by moving the gearshift lever to the Sport (S)
position.
• Pull the right paddle (+) to upshift.
• Pull the left paddle (–) to downshift. The system determines when temporary
manual control is no longer in use and returns
to automatic control. Upshift to the recommended shift speeds
according to the following chart: Upshifts when accelerating (recommended
for best fuel economy)
Shift from: 15 mph (24 km/h)
1 - 2
25 mph (40 km/h)
2 - 3
40 mph (64 km/h)
3 - 4
45 mph (72 km/h)
4 - 5
50 mph (80 km/h)
5 - 6
The instrument cluster will display your
currently selected gear.
The transmission will automatically upshift
if your engine speed is too high or downshift
if your engine speed is too low.
Note: The system will stay in manual control
until you move the gearshift lever to another
position. For example, Drive (D).
Note: Engine damage may occur if excessive
engine revving is held without shifting. Brake-Shift Interlock WARNINGS
Do not drive your vehicle until you verify
that the brake lamps are working.
When doing this procedure, you will be
taking the vehicle out of park which
means your vehicle can roll freely. To
avoid unwanted vehicle movement, always
fully set the parking brake prior to doing this
procedure. Use wheel chocks if appropriate. If the parking brake is fully released, but
the brake warning lamp remains
illuminated, the brakes may not be
working properly. See your authorized dealer. Note:
See an authorized dealer as soon as
possible if this procedure is used.
Note: For some markets this feature will be
disabled.
Use the brake shift interlock lever to move
the gearshift lever from the park position in
the event of an electrical malfunction or if
your vehicle has a dead battery.
Apply the parking brake and turn the ignition
off before performing this procedure.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Cruise control lets you maintain a set speed
without keeping your foot on the accelerator
pedal. You can use cruise control when your
vehicle speed is greater than 20 mph
(30 km/h).
USING CRUISE CONTROL WARNINGS
Do not use cruise control on winding
roads, in heavy traffic or when the road
surface is slippery. This could result in
loss of vehicle control, serious injury or death. When you are going downhill, your
vehicle speed may increase above the
set speed. The system will not apply
the brakes. Change down a gear to assist the
system in maintaining the set speed. Failure
to do so could result in loss of vehicle control,
serious injury or death. Note:
Cruise control will disengage if the
vehicle speed decreases more than
10 mph
(16 km/h) below the set speed while driving
uphill. The cruise controls are on the steering wheel.
Switching Cruise Control On
Press and release
ON.
The indicator appears in the
instrument cluster.
Setting the Cruise Speed
1. Drive to desired speed.
2. Press and release

USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL
(If Equipped) WARNINGS
Always pay close attention to changing
road conditions when using adaptive
cruise control. The system does not
replace attentive driving. Failing to pay
attention to the road may result in a crash,
serious injury or death. Adaptive cruise control is not a crash
warning or avoidance system.
Adaptive cruise control will not detect
stationary or slow moving vehicles
below 6 mph (10 km/h).
Adaptive cruise control does not detect
pedestrians or objects in the road.
Adaptive cruise control does not detect
oncoming vehicles in the same lane. WARNINGS
Do not use the adaptive cruise control
when entering or leaving a highway, in
heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, slippery or unpaved. Do not use the system in poor visibility,
for example fog, heavy rain, spray or
snow.
Do not use adaptive cruise control
when towing a trailer that has trailer
brakes. The auto-brake component of
the adaptive cruise control system does not
operate the trailer brakes. Using adaptive
cruise control when towing a trailer that has
trailer brakes may result in the loss of vehicle
control, which could result in serious injury. Do not use tire sizes other than those
recommended because this can affect
the normal operation of the system.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle
control, which could result in serious injury. Note:
It is your responsibility to stay alert, drive
safely and be in control of the vehicle at all
times.
The system adjusts your speed to maintain
a proper distance between you and the
vehicle in front of you in the same lane. You
can select from one of four gap settings. The adaptive cruise controls are on the
steering wheel.
Setting Adaptive Cruise Control
Press and release
ON.
The indicator appears in the
instrument cluster.
167
MKS (CLE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Cruise ControlE173593 E144529 E173594
The current gap setting and SET also
appears in the instrument cluster.
Setting the Adaptive Cruise Speed
1. Drive to desired speed.
2. Press and release
Set+ or Set-.
3. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
4. The information display will show a green
indicator light, current gap setting and
desired set speed. 5. A vehicle graphic illuminates if there is a
vehicle detected in front of you.
Note: When adaptive cruise control is active,
the speedometer may vary slightly from the
set speed displayed in the information display. Following a Vehicle WARNINGS
When following a vehicle in front of you,
your vehicle will not decelerate
automatically to a stop, nor will your
vehicle always decelerate quickly enough to
avoid a crash without driver intervention.
Always apply the brakes when necessary.
Failing to do so may result in a crash, serious
injury or death. Adaptive cruise control only warns of
vehicles detected by the radar sensor.
In some cases there may be no warning
or a delayed warning. You should always
apply the brakes when necessary. Failing to
do so may result in a crash, serious injury or
death. Note:
The brakes may emit a sound when
modulated by the adaptive cruise control
system.
When a vehicle ahead of you enters the same
lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in the same
lane, the vehicle speed adjusts to maintain
a preset gap distance. The distance setting
is adjustable.
The lead vehicle graphic will illuminate. To help you pass a vehicle in front of you, the
adaptive cruise control system may provide
a small temporary acceleration when you
switch on your left turn signal while following
a lead car.
Your vehicle maintains a consistent gap from
the vehicle ahead until:
•
the vehicle in front of you accelerates to
a speed above the set speed
• the vehicle in front of you moves out of
your lane or out of view
• the vehicle speed falls below 16 mph (26
km/h)
• a new gap distance is set.
The vehicle will apply the brakes to slow the
vehicle to maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front. The maximum braking which
the system can apply is limited. You can
override the system by applying the brakes.
If the system predicts that its maximum
braking level will not be sufficient, an audible
warning will sound while the system
continues to brake. This is accompanied by
a heads-up display; a red warning bar
illuminating on the windshield. You should
take immediate action.
168
MKS (CLE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Cruise ControlE173595
The current assessment of your alertness
indicates that you should rest as soon as
safely possible.
The status bar will travel from left to right as
the calculated alertness level decreases. As
the rest icon is approached the color turns
from green to yellow to red. The yellow
position indicates the first warning is active
and the red position indicates the second
warning is active.
Note:
If you have recently received a warning;
you should consider resting, even if the current
assessment is within the typical range.
Note: If the camera sensor cannot track the
road lane markings or if your vehicle speed
drops below approximately 40 mph
(64 km/h), the alertness level will change to
grey for a short time and the information
display will inform you that the system is
unavailable.
Resetting the System
You can reset the system by either:
• Switching the ignition off and on.
• Stopping the vehicle and then opening
and closing the driver ’s door. LANE KEEPING SYSTEM (If Equipped) WARNING
The system is designed to aid the driver.
It is not intended to replace your
attention and judgment. You are still
responsible to drive with due care and
attention. Note:
The system works above
40 mph
(64 km/h).
Note: The system works as long as the
camera can detect one lane marking.
Note: The system may not function if the
camera is blocked or there is damage to the
windshield.
Note: When Aid mode is on and the system
detects no steering activity for a short period,
the system will alert you to put your hands on
the steering wheel. The system may detect a
light grip or touch on the steering wheel as
hands off driving. The system notifies you to stay in your lane
through the steering system and the
instrument cluster display when the front
camera detects an unintentional drift out of
your lane is likely to occur. The system
automatically detects and tracks the road
lane markings using a camera mounted
behind the interior rear view mirror.
Switching the System On and Off
Note:
The system on or off setting is stored
until it is manually changed, unless a MyKey®
is detected. If the system detects a MyKey®,
it defaults to on and the mode is set to alert.
Note: If a MyKey® is detected, pressing the
button will not affect the on or off status of
the system. You can only change the mode
and intensity settings. Press the button located on the
center console to switch the
system on or off.
