The vehicle should be driven with the
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system on
for most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is
depressed to the floor. If maximum en-
gine power is needed to free a stuck
vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The
indicator light will
illuminate.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart
the engine to turn on the system. (See

so equipped) REAR DOOR ALERT

.When the driver puts the vehicle in the
P (Park) position, a message appears
in the vehicle information display for
the driver to “Dismiss Message” or
“Disable Alert” if desired.

driver exits the vehicle, an audible alert
(horn sound) will occur unless a rear
door is opened and closed within a
short time to deactivate the alert.
. If the doors are locked before the alert
is deactivated by opening a rear door,
the horn will sound.
. If the system is activated but the
liftgate is opened before opening a
rear door, the horn will be delayed
until after the liftgate is closed.
. If the audible horn alert occurs, a
message will also appear in the vehi-
cle information display that states,
“Check Back Seat for all articles”. For
additional information, see “44. Check
Back Seat For all articles” (P.2-36).
WARNING
.If the driver selects “Disable
Alert”, no audible alert will be
provided regardless of rear door
open/close status. .
There may be times when there is
an object or passenger in the rear
seat(s) but the audible alert does
not sound. For example, this may
occur if the engine is turned off
and then on again in a short
period of time during a trip, or if
rear seat passengers enter or exit
the vehicle during a trip.
. The system does not directly
detect objects or passengers in
the rear seat(s). Instead, it can
detect when a rear door is
opened and closed, indicating
that there may be something in
the rear seat(s).
NOTE:
There may be times when the horn
sounds but there are no objects or
passengers in the rear seat(s).
For additional information, see “43. Rear
Door Alert is activated” (P.2-36).
