ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM — OBD II
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated
Onboard Diagnostic system called OBD II.
This system monitors the performance of the
emissions, engine, and automatic transmis-
sion control systems. When these systems are
operating properly, your vehicle will provide
excellent performance and fuel economy, as
well as emissions well within current govern-
ment regulations.
If any of these systems require service, the
OBD II system will turn on the Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL). It will also store diag-
nostic codes and other information to assist
your service technician in making repairs.
Although your vehicle will usually be drivable
and not need towing, see an authorized
dealer for service as soon as possible.

Modes Of Operation
Three selectable modes of operation are
available in the Uconnect System. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner’s Manual for further information.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only (Default Setting)
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the
BSM system will provide a visual alert in the
appropriate side view mirror based on a de-
tected object. However, when the system is
operating in Rear Cross Path (RCP) mode, the
system will respond with both visual and
audible alerts when a detected object is pres-
ent. Whenever an audible alert is requested,
the radio is muted.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/
Chime mode, the BSM system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate side view mirror
based on a detected object. If the turn signal
is then activated, and it corresponds to an
alert present on that side of the vehicle, an
audible chime will also be sounded. When-
ever a turn signal and detected object are
present on the same side at the same time,both the visual and audible alerts will be
issued. In addition to the audible alert the
radio (if on) will also be muted.
NOTE:
Whenever an audible alert is requested by the
BSM system, the radio is also muted.
When the system is in RCP, the system shall
respond with both visual and audible alerts
when a detected object is present. Whenever
an audible alert is requested, the radio vol-
ume is reduced. Turn/hazard signal status is
ignored; the RCP state always requests the
chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off there will
be no visual or audible alerts from either the
BSM or RCP systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the current oper-
ating mode when the vehicle is shut off. Each
time the vehicle is started the previously
stored mode will be recalled and used.Blocked Sensor
If the system detects degraded performance
due to contamination or foreign objects, a
message will warn you of a blocked sensor
and the warning indicators in side view mir-
rors will be illuminated. The warning indica-
tors will remain illuminated until blockage
clearing conditions are met. First clear the
fascia area around the sensors of the block-
age. After removing the blockage, reset the
system by cycling the ignition from ON to OFF
and then back ON.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
With Mitigation — If Equipped
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
With Mitigation Operation
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
with mitigation provides the driver with au-
dible warnings, visual warnings (within the
instrument cluster display), and may apply a
brake jerk to warn the driver when it detects a
potential frontal collision. The warnings and
limited braking are intended to provide the
driver with enough time to react, avoid or
mitigate the potential collision.

The Passenger Air Bag DISABLE Feature
consists of the following:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
•
Passenger Air Bag DISABLE (OFF)
Indicator Light — an amber light located in
the center stack
•
Passenger Air Bag ENABLE (ON) Indi-
cator Light — an amber light located in the
center stack
•
Air Bag Warning Light — an amber
light located in the instrument cluster
display
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
monitors the readiness of the electronic parts
of the air bag system whenever the ignition
switch is in the START or ON/RUN position.
The ORC illuminates the Passenger Air Bag
DISABLE (OFF) Indicator Light and the Pas-
senger Air Bag ENABLE (ON) Indicator Light
in the center stack for approximately five to
eight seconds for a self-check when the igni-
tion switch is first in the START or ON/RUN
position. After the self-check, the indicator
light that is illuminated tells the driver and
passenger the status of the Passenger Ad-vanced Front Air Bag. If any of the following
occurs, have an authorized dealer service the
air bag system immediately:
• Both indicator lights do not come on as a
self-check when the ignition is first in the
START or ON/RUN position.
• Both indicator lights stay on after you start
the vehicle.
• Both indicator lights stay off after you start
the vehicle.
• Both indicator lights come on as you drive.
• Both indicator lights turn off as you drive.
Once the self-check is complete, only one
Passenger Air Bag Indicator Light should be
illuminated at a time.
WARNING!
If any of the above conditions occur, indi-
cating there is an issue with the Passenger
Air Bag Indicator Light, the Passenger Ad-
vanced Front Air Bag will remain in the last
selected state (DISABLED or ENABLED).
Passenger Air Bag DISABLE (OFF) Indicator
Light
The Passenger Air Bag DISABLE (OFF) Indi-
cator Light (an amber light located in the
center stack) tells the driver and front pas-
senger when the Passenger Advanced Front
Air Bag is deactivated. The Passenger Air Bag
DISABLE (OFF) Indicator Light on the center
stack will illuminate
to show that the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag will not
deploy during a collision.NEVERassume the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag is deacti-
vated unless the Passenger Air Bag DISABLE
(OFF) Indicator Light
on the center stack
is illuminated.
Passenger Air Bag ENABLE (ON) Indicator
Light
The Passenger Air Bag ENABLE (ON) Indica-
tor Light (an amber light located in the center
stack) tells the driver and front passenger
when the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag
is activated. The Passenger Air Bag ENABLE
(ON) Indicator Light on the center stack will
illuminate
to show that the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag will deploy during an
impact that requires air bag deployment.

WARNING!
• Children 12 years or younger should
always ride buckled up in the rear seat of
a vehicle with a rear seat.
Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the
knees of the driver and front passenger, and
position the front occupants for improved
interaction with the front air bags.
WARNING!
• Do not drill, cut, or tamper with the knee
impact bolsters in any way.
• Do not mount any accessories to the
knee impact bolsters such as alarm
lights, stereos, citizen band radios, etc.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags
(SABs) (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with Supple-
mental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs).If your vehicle is equipped with Supplemen-
tal Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs),
please refer to the information below.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags
(SABs) are located in the outboard side of the
front seats. The SABs are marked with “SRS
AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG” on a label or on the
seat trim on the outboard side of the seats.The SABs (if equipped with SABs) may help
to reduce the risk of occupant injury during
certain side impacts, in addition to the injury
reduction potential provided by the seat belts
and body structure.
When the SAB deploys, it opens the seam on
the outboard side of the seatback’s trim
cover. The inflating SAB deploys through the
seat seam into the space between the occu-
pant and the door. The SAB moves at a very
high speed and with such a high force that it
could injure occupants if they are not seated
properly, or if items are positioned in the area
where the SAB inflates. Children are at an
even greater risk of injury from a deploying air
bag.
WARNING!
Do not use accessory seat covers or place
objects between you and the Side Air
Bags; the performance could be adversely
affected and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.

Maintaining Your Air Bag System
WARNING!
• Modifications to any part of the air bag
system could cause it to fail when you
need it. You could be injured if the air
bag system is not there to protect you.
Do not modify the components or wiring,
including adding any kind of badges or
stickers to the steering wheel hub trim
cover or the upper passenger side of the
instrument panel. Do not modify the
front bumper, vehicle body structure, or
add aftermarket side steps or running
boards.
• It is dangerous to try to repair any part of
the air bag system yourself. Be sure to
tell anyone who works on your vehicle
that it has an air bag system.
• Do not attempt to modify any part of your
air bag system. The air bag may inflate
accidentally or may not function prop-
erly if modifications are made. Take your
vehicle to an authorized dealer for any
air bag system service. If your seat, in-
cluding your trim cover and cushion,
WARNING!
needs to be serviced in any way (includ-
ing removal or loosening/tightening of
seat attachment bolts), take the vehicle
to an authorized dealer. Only manufac-
turer approved seat accessories may be
used. If it is necessary to modify the air
bag system for persons with disabilities,
contact an authorized dealer.
Event Data Recorder (EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems per-
formed. The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety sys-
tems for a short period of time, typically
30 seconds or less.
