WARNING!
If TSC activates while driving, slow the vehicle down,
stop at the nearest safe location, and adjust the trailer
load to eliminate trailer sway.
Ready Alert Braking (RAB)
Ready Alert Braking may reduce the time required to reach
full braking during emergency braking situations. It antici-
pates when an emergency braking situation may occur by
monitoring how fast the throttle is released by the driver.
The EBC will prepare the brake system for a panic stop.
Rain Brake Support (RBS)
Rain Brake Support may improve braking performance in
wet conditions. It will periodically apply a small amount of
brake pressure to remove any water buildup on the front
brake rotors. It functions when the windshield wipers are
in LO or HI speed. When Rain Brake Support is active,
there is no notification to the driver and no driver interac-
tion is required.
Dynamic Steering Torque (DST)
Dynamic Steering Torque is a feature of the ESC and
Electric Power Steering (EPS) modules that providestorque at the steering wheel for certain driving conditions
in which the ESC module is detecting vehicle instability.
The torque that the steering wheel receives is only meant to
help the driver realize optimal steering behavior in order to
reach/maintain vehicle stability. The only notification the
driver receives that the feature is active is the torque
applied to the steering wheel.
NOTE:
The DST feature is only meant to help the driver
realize the correct course of action through small torques
on the steering wheel, which means the effectiveness of the
DST feature is highly dependent on the driver ’s sensitivity
and overall reaction to the applied torque. It is very
important to realize that this feature will not steer the
vehicle, meaning the driver is still responsible for steering
the vehicle.
AUXILIARY DRIVING SYSTEMS
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) — If Equipped
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar
sensors, located inside the rear bumper fascia, to detect
highway licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motor-
cycles, etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the
rear/front/side of the vehicle.

Connecting The iPod Or External USB Device
Use the connection cable to connect an iPod or external
USB device to the vehicles USB/AUX connector port which
is located in the center console.
The USB ports on the Media Hub are equipped with a
Smart Electronic Voltage Regulator (Smart Charge) feature.
This feature allows a device to charge for up to one hour
after the vehicle is powered off.Once the audio device is connected and synchronized to
the vehicles iPod/USB/MP3 control system (iPod or exter-
nal USB device may take a few minutes to connect), the
audio device starts charging and is ready for use.
NOTE:
If the audio device battery is completely dis-
charged, it may not communicate with the iPod/USB/MP3
control system until a minimum charge is attained. Leav-
ing the audio device connected to the iPod/USB/MP3
control system may charge it to the required level.
Using This Feature
By using an iPod cable, or an external USB device to
connect to the USB port:
• The audio device can be played on the vehicle’s sound
system, providing metadata (artist, track title, album,
etc.) information on the radio display.
• The audio device can be controlled using the radio
buttons to Play, Browse, and List the iPod contents.
• The audio device battery charges when plugged into the
USB/AUX connector (if supported by the specific audio
device).
NOTE: For further information, refer to the Uconnect
Owner ’s Manual Supplement.
