Brake-Shift Interlock Override WARNINGS
Do not drive your vehicle until you
verify that the brake lamps are
working.
When doing this procedure, you need
to take the transmission out of park
(P) which means your vehicle can
roll freely. To avoid unwanted vehicle
movement, always fully set the parking
brake prior to doing this procedure. Use
wheels chocks if appropriate. If the parking brake is fully released,
but the brake warning lamp remains
illuminated, the brakes may not be
working properly. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible. Note:
See your authorized dealer as soon
as possible if this procedure is used.
Note: For some markets this feature is
disabled. Note:
This feature will only function if your
12-volt battery has power. If vehicle battery
voltage is not sufficient, an external 12-volt
power source (for example, jumper cables,
battery charger or jump pack) may be
required to function the interlock override
switch.
Use the brake-shift interlock override to
move your transmission from the park
position in the event of an electrical
malfunction. If your vehicle has a dead
battery, an external power source will be
required.
1. Apply the parking brake and turn your ignition off before performing this
procedure. 2. Locate your brake-shift interlock
access slot. The slot is located in your
center console storage bin. The access
slot does not have a label.
Note: Make sure that you correctly identify
the access hole as not to damage the media
hub.

Following a Vehicle
WARNINGS
When following a vehicle, your
vehicle does not 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. Failure to do so may result in a
crash, serious injury or death. Note:
The brakes may emit noise when
applied by the 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. A
vehicle graphic illuminates in the
instrument cluster.
When you are following a vehicle and you
switch on your left directional indicator,
adaptive cruise control may provide a
small temporary acceleration to help you
pass.
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 the lane you are in.
• You set a new gap distance.
The vehicle applies 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 is insufficient, an audible
warning sounds while the system
continues to brake. The red warning bar
appears on the windshield. You should
take immediate action.
Following a Vehicle to a Complete
Stop
If your vehicle follows a vehicle to a
complete stop and remains stationary for
less than three seconds, your vehicle
automatically accelerates from a
stationary position to follow the vehicle
ahead when you release the brake pedal.
If your vehicle follows a vehicle to a
complete stop and remains stationary for
more than three seconds, you must press
and release the RES+ button or the
accelerator pedal to accelerate from a
stationary position and follow the vehicle
ahead.
Setting the Gap Distance
You can decrease or increase the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in
front by pressing the gap control.
Note: It is your responsibility to select a gap
appropriate to the driving conditions. Gap decrease.
A
Gap increase.
