PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING: Vehicle
modifications involving braking system,
aftermarket roof racks, suspension,
steering system, tire construction and
wheel and tire size may change the
handling characteristics of your vehicle
and may adversely affect the
performance of the electronic stability
control system. In addition, installing any
stereo loudspeakers may interfere with
and adversely affect the electronic
stability control system. Install any
aftermarket stereo loudspeaker as far
as possible from the front center
console, the tunnel, and the front seats
in order to minimize the risk of interfering
with the electronic stability control
sensors. Reducing the effectiveness of
the electronic stability control system
could lead to an increased risk of loss of
vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death. WARNING:
Remember that
even advanced technology cannot defy
the laws of physics. It's always possible
to lose control of a vehicle due to
inappropriate driver input for the
conditions. Aggressive driving on any
road condition can cause you to lose
control of your vehicle increasing the risk
of personal injury or property damage.
Activation of the electronic stability
control system is an indication that at
least some of the tires have exceeded
their ability to grip the road; this could
reduce the operator's ability to control
the vehicle potentially resulting in a loss
of vehicle control, vehicle rollover,
personal injury and death. If your
electronic stability control system
activates, SLOW DOWN. WARNING:
The stability and
traction control light illuminates steadily
if the system detects a failure. Make sure
you did not manually disable the traction
control system using the information
display controls or the switch. If the
stability control and traction control light
is still illuminating steadily, have the
system serviced by an authorized dealer
immediately. Operating your vehicle with
the traction control disabled could lead
to an increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death.
The stability and traction control systems
help you to avoid drive wheel spin and loss
of traction. The system automatically
turns on each time you switch the ignition
on.
If a fault occurs in either the stability
control or the traction control system, you
may experience the following conditions:
• The stability and traction control light
illuminates steadily.
• The stability control and traction
control systems do not enhance your
vehicle's ability to maintain traction of
the wheels.
If a driving condition activates either the
stability control or the traction control
system you may experience the following
conditions:
• The stability and traction control light
flashes.
• Your vehicle slows down.
• Reduced engine power.
• A vibration in the brake pedal.

REAR VIEW CAMERA
WARNING: The rear view
camera system is a reverse aid
supplement device that still requires the
driver to use it in conjunction with the
interior and exterior mirrors for maximum
coverage. WARNING:
Objects that are
close to either corner of the bumper or
under the bumper, might not be seen on
the screen due to the limited coverage
of the camera system. WARNING:
Use caution when
turning camera features on or off when
the transmission is not in park (P). Make
sure your vehicle is not moving.
The rear view camera system provides a
video image of the area behind your
vehicle.
During operation, lines appear in the
display which represent your vehicle ’s
proximity to objects behind your vehicle. The camera is located below the license
plate.
Using the Rear View Camera
System
The rear view camera system displays
what is behind your vehicle when you place
the transmission in reverse (R).
The system uses fixed guidelines to help
you see what is behind your vehicle. Fixed
guidelines show the path your vehicle is
moving while reversing in a straight line.
This can be helpful when backing into a
parking space.
The camera may not operate correctly
under the following conditions:
•
Nighttime or dark areas if the reverse
lamps are not operating.
• Mud, water or debris obstructs the
camera's view. Clean the lens with a
soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive
cleaner.
• The camera is misaligned due to
damage to the rear of your vehicle.
Camera Guidelines
Note: Fixed guidelines are only available
when the transmission is in reverse (R). Centerline

Fixed guideline: Green zone
D
Always use caution while reversing.
Objects in the red zone are closest to your
vehicle and objects in the green zone are
farther away. Objects are getting closer to
your vehicle as they move from the green
zone to the yellow or red zones. Use the
side view mirrors and rear view mirror to
get better coverage on both sides and rear
of the vehicle.
Manual Zoom WARNING: When manual zoom
is on, the full area behind your vehicle
may not show. Be aware of your
surroundings when using the manual
zoom feature.
Note: Manual zoom is only available when
the transmission is in reverse (R).
Selectable settings for this feature are
Zoom in (+) and Zoom out (-). Press the
symbol in the camera screen to change the
view. The default setting is Zoom OFF.
This feature allows you to get a closer view
of an object behind your vehicle. The zoom
is only active while the transmission is in
reverse (R). When the transmission shifts
out of reverse (R), the feature
automatically turns off and must be reset
when it is used again.
Rear Camera Delay
You can select to have the rear camera
continue to display after shifting from
reverse (R). See
Settings (page 247).

Note:
Selectable driving modes has
diagnostic checks that continuously monitor
the system to ensure proper operation. If a
selected mode is unavailable due to a
system fault or change in gear shifter
position, the selected mode defaults to
Normal.
Front Lift WARNING: Before using front
lift, make sure the area around your
vehicle is free from obstruction. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.
Your vehicle has a front lift system to
provide additional front end clearance
when approaching a speed bump,
driveway ramp or another similar surface
where front end clearance could be a
concern. The front lift button is located on the
center console. Press the button to lift the
front end of your vehicle. Press the button
again to return to normal ride height. A
warning indicator illuminates in the display
screen when the system is on. When you
shut the engine off, the car returns to
normal ride height. Remember to use the
front lift again when needed, for example
when backing out of a driveway. Note:
The front lift feature only operates if
your vehicle is traveling under
25 mph
(40 km/h). If your vehicle exceeds this
speed, the system automatically returns
your vehicle to normal ride height.
Note: The front lift feature does not
function when in Track (T) or V-Max (V)
drive modes.
Damper Comfort Mode You can change the feel of the suspension
by pressing the damper comfort button on
the center console. An indicator illuminates
