54 KEYS, DOORS, AND WINDOWS
If an object is in the path while
express closing, the reversal system
will detect an object, stop, and open
the sunroof again.
If frost or other conditions prevent
closing, override the feature by closing
the sunroof in manual mode. To stop
movement, release the switch.
Dirt and debris may collect on the
sunroof seal or in the track. This
could cause an issue with sunroof
operation or noise. It could also plug
the water drainage system.
Periodically open the sunroof and
remove any obstacles or loose debris.
Wipe the sunroof seal and roof sealingarea using a clean cloth, mild soap,
and water. Do not remove grease from
the sunroof.
If water is seen dripping into the
water drainage system, this is normal.

DRIVING AND OPERATING 241
V2V does not automatically brake or
steer the vehicle.
{Warning
V2V features work only when other
nearby vehicles equipped with V2V
are detected and communications
are received. V2V may not detect
other V2V-equipped vehicles or
receive communications under
certain conditions, including
around tall buildings; in parking
garages; around airports; in tunnels
and underpasses; in an area with
very dense trees; or where the roof
antenna is blocked by objects such
as roof carriers, snow or ice.
Communication failures or delays
can occur and may not provide
notice sufficiently in advance to
help avoid a crash, or may not
provide any notices at all. Pay
attention to the road and operation
of the vehicle at all times and be
ready to take action and apply the
brakes. SeeDefensive Driving 0178.
{Warning
V2V does not detect or warn of
pedestrians, animals, signs,
guardrails, bridges, construction
barrels, or other objects.
Under certain conditions, V2V can
notify of situations that are beyond
line-of-sight. It is important to
understand the feature operation to be
prepared when events that may not be
seen immediately are detected.
Even if the V2V features are turned off
through vehicle personalization,
information from the vehicle is sent to
other vehicles equipped with V2V.
Other vehicles equipped with V2V may
be alerted to certain events involving
your vehicle, such as hard braking;
activation of hazard warning flashers;
an airbag deployment; or a
StabiliTrak, Traction Control,
or Antilock Brake System (ABS) event.
V2V communications are not stored
by the vehicle and cannot be used to
identify owners or occupants or to
later track the vehicle’s location. Unnecessary Alerts
V2V features may provide alerts to
driving situations that are too early or
unnecessary. These alerts are normal
operation and the vehicle does not
need service.
SERVICE VEHICLE SOON
If this message displays, V2V features
may need service. Do not use them.
Take the vehicle to your dealer.
V2V Hard Braking Ahead
When the vehicle is traveling above
40 km/h (25 mph), V2V may detect
when a V2V-equipped vehicle ahead is
braking hard. Under these conditions,
V2V may display a Driver Information
Center (DIC) message and icon.
If equipped, a red flashing alert on the
windshield may also occur.
