GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention.
Note:
Occasional brake noise is normal. If
a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding or
continuous squeal sound is present, the
brake linings may be worn-out. If the vehicle
has continuous vibration or shudder in the
steering wheel while braking, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
Note: Brake dust may accumulate on the
wheels, even under normal driving
conditions. Some dust is inevitable as the
brakes wear. See Cleaning the Wheels
(page 216).
Wet brakes result in reduced braking
efficiency. Gently press the brake pedal a
few times when driving from a car wash or
standing water to dry the brakes.
Brake Over Accelerator
In the event that the accelerator pedal
becomes stuck or entrapped, apply firm
pressure to the brake pedal to slow your
vehicle and reduce engine power. If you
experience this condition, apply the brakes
and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. Move
the transmission to park (P), switch the
engine off and apply the parking brake.
Inspect the accelerator pedal for any
interference. If none are found and the
condition persists, have your vehicle towed
to the nearest authorized dealer. Emergency Brake Assist
Brake assist detects when you rapidly
brake by measuring the rate at which you
press the brake pedal. It provides
maximum braking efficiency as long as you
press the pedal. Emergency brake assist
can reduce stopping distances in critical
situations.
Anti-lock Brake System
This system helps you maintain steering
control and vehicle stability during
emergency stops by keeping the brakes
from locking.
This lamp momentarily
illuminates when you switch the
ignition on. If the light does not
illuminate during start up, remains on or
flashes, the system may be disabled. Have
the system checked by an authorized
dealer. If the anti-lock brake system is
disabled, normal braking is still effective. If the brake warning lamp
illuminates when you release the
parking brake, have the system
checked by an authorized dealer.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
Note: When the system is operating, the
brake pedal may pulse and may travel
further. Maintain pressure on the brake
pedal. You may also hear a noise from the
system. This is normal.
The anti-lock braking system will not
eliminate the risks when:
• You drive too closely to the vehicle in
front of you.
• Your vehicle is hydroplaning.
• You take corners too fast.
• The road surface is poor.

The system will activate automatically on
any slope that will cause significant vehicle
rollback. For vehicles with a manual
transmission, you can switch this feature
off using the information display. See
Information Displays (page 85). The
system will remain on or off depending on
how it was last set.
Note: There is no warning lamp to indicate
the system is either on or off.
Using Hill Start Assist
1. Press the brake pedal to bring your vehicle to a complete standstill. Keep
the brake pedal pressed and select an
uphill gear (for example, first (1) when
facing uphill or reverse (R) when facing
downhill).
2. If the sensors detect that your vehicle is on a slope, the system will activate
automatically.
3. When you remove your foot from the brake pedal, your vehicle will remain
on the slope without rolling away for
about two or three seconds. This hold
time will automatically be extended if
you are in the process of driving off.
4. Drive off in the normal manner. The brakes will release automatically.
Switching the System On and Off
Vehicles with Manual Transmission
You can switch this feature on or off in the
information display. The system
remembers the last setting when you start

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The traction control system helps avoid
drive wheel spin and loss of traction.
If your vehicle begins to slide, the system
applies the brakes to individual wheels
and, when needed, reduces engine power
at the same time. If the wheels spin when
accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,
the system reduces engine power in order
to increase traction.
USING TRACTION CONTROL
WARNING
The stability and traction control
light illuminates steadily if the
system detects a failure. Make sure
you did not manually disable the traction
control system using the information
display controls or the switch. If the
stability control and traction control light
is still illuminating steadily, have the
system serviced by an authorized dealer
immediately. Operating your vehicle with
the traction control disabled could lead to
an increased risk of loss of vehicle control,
vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. The system automatically turns on each
time you switch the ignition on.
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow,
switching traction control off may be
beneficial as this allows the wheels to spin.
Note:
When you switch traction control off,
stability control remains fully active.
Switching the System Off
When you switch the system off or on, a
message appears in the information
display showing system status.
You can switch the system off by either
using the information display controls or
the switch. Using the Information Display
Controls
You can switch this feature off or on in the
information display. See General
Information (page 85).
Using a Switch
(If Equipped)
Use the traction control switch on the
instrument panel to switch the system off
or on.
System Indicator Lights and
Messages The stability and traction control
light:
• Temporarily illuminates on engine
start-up.
• Flashes when a driving condition
activates either of the systems.
• Illuminates if a problem occurs in either
of the systems. The stability and traction control
off light temporarily illuminates
on engine start-up and stays on
when you switch the traction control
system off.

(If Equipped)

The system detects objects when you shift
into reverse (R) or you press the parking
aid button and:
•
Your vehicle is moving toward a
stationary object at a speed of 3 mph
(5 km/h) or less.
• Your vehicle is moving at a speed of
3 mph (5 km/h)
or less, and an object
is approaching your vehicle at a speed
of
3 mph (5 km/h) or less.
If a fault is present in the system, a warning
message appears in the information
display and does not allow you to switch
the system on.
Sensing System Audible Warnings
Audible warnings sound when large objects
are within the sensor coverage areas of
either bumper in the following manner:
• You will hear a high-pitched tone from
the front audio system speakers when
large objects are within the sensor
coverage area of the front bumper.
• You will hear a lower-pitched tone
from the rear audio system speakers
when large objects are within the
sensor coverage area of the rear
bumper.
• The parking aid system prioritises
audible warnings based on large
objects that are the closest to your
vehicle ’s front or rear bumper. For
example, if an object is
24 in (60 cm)
from the front bumper and at the same
time, an object is only
16 in (40 cm)
from the rear bumper, you will hear the
lower-pitched tone from the rear audio
system speakers. •
You will hear an alternating audible
warning from the front and rear audio
system speakers if large objects are
less than
12 in (30 cm) from the front
and rear bumpers.
• If the object is more than 12 in (30 cm)
from the side of the bumper area, the
audible warning sounds for three
seconds. If the object is less than
12 in
(30 cm) from the side of the bumper
area the audible warning sounds
continuously.
Switching the Parking Aid System
Off
Press the button to switch the system off.
The system remains off until you switch
the ignition off.
REAR VIEW CAMERA WARNINGS
Do not place objects in front of the
camera.
The rear view camera system is a
reverse aid supplement device that
still requires the driver to use it in
conjunction with the interior and exterior
mirrors for maximum coverage. Objects that are close to either
corner of the bumper or under the
bumper, might not be seen on the
screen due to the limited coverage of the
camera system. Reverse your vehicle slowly as higher
speeds might limit your reaction time
to stop your vehicle.
Use caution when the liftgate is ajar.
If the liftgate is ajar, the camera will
be out of position and the video
image may be incorrect. All guidelines
disappear when the liftgate is ajar. Some
vehicles may not come equipped with
guidelines.
