Rain Sensing Wipers — If Equipped
This feature senses rain or snowfall on the
windshield and automatically activates the
wipers for the driver. The feature is espe-
cially useful for road splash or overspray from
the windshield washers of the vehicle ahead.
Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to
one of four settings to activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted
with the multifunction lever. Wiper delay
position one is the least sensitive, and wiper
delay position four is the most sensitive.
NOTE:
Setting three is preferred by the average
driver during normal rain conditions.
Settings one and two can be used if the
driver desires less wiper sensitivity. Setting
four can be used if the driver desires more
sensitivity. Place the wiper switch in the OFF
position when not using the system.
NOTE:
The Rain Sensing feature will not operate
when the wiper switch is in the low or
high-speed position.
The Rain Sensing feature may not func-
tion properly when ice or dried salt water
is present on the windshield.
Use of products containing wax or silicone
may reduce Rain Sensing performance.

The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on
and off using the Uconnect System, refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner’s Manual for further information.
The Rain Sensing system has protection
features for the wiper blades and arms, and will
not operate under the following conditions:
Low Ambient Temperature — When the igni-
tion is first placed in the ON position, the
Rain Sensing system will not operate until
the wiper switch is moved, vehicle speed is
greater than 3 mph (5 km/h) or the outside
temperature is greater than 32°F (0°C).

Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — When
the ignition is ON, and the automatic
transmission is in the NEUTRAL position,
the Rain Sensing system will not operate
until the wiper switch is moved, vehicle
speed is greater than 3 mph (5 km/h) or
the gear selector is moved out of the
NEUTRAL position.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles
equipped with Remote Starting system,
Rain Sensing wipers are not operational
when the vehicle is in the remote start
mode. Once the operator is in the vehicle
and has placed the ignition in the ON/
RUN position, rain sensing wiper opera-
tion can resume, if it has been selected,
and no other inhibit conditions
(mentioned previously) exist.

Oil Change Indicator System — If
Equipped
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The “Oil Change
Due” message will display in the instrument
cluster display for five seconds after a single
chime has sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil
change indicator system is duty cycle based,
which means the engine oil change interval
may fluctuate, dependent upon your
personal driving style.
To have the oil changed, please refer to an
authorized dealer.
Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) — If Equipped
The Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) system is
enabled on vehicles with a manual transmis
-
sion, or when a vehicle with an automatic
transmission is in manual shift mode. The
GSI provides the driver with a visual indica -
tion when the recommended gear shift point
has been reached. This indication notifies
the driver that changing gears will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption. When the up
shift indicator is shown on the instrument
cluster display, the GSI is advising the driver
to engage a higher gear. When the down shift
indicator is shown on the display, the GSI is
advising the driver to engage a lower gear.
The GSI remains illuminated until the driver
changes gears, or the driving conditions
return to a situation where changing gear is
not required to improve fuel consumption.

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Messages
This engine meets all required diesel engine
emissions standards. To achieve these emis-
sions standards, your vehicle is equipped
with a state-of-the-art engine and exhaust
system. These systems are seamlessly inte -
grated into your vehicle and managed by the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM
manages engine combustion to allow the
exhaust system’s catalyst to trap and burn
Particulate Matter (PM) pollutants, with no
input or interaction on your part.

WARNING!
A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you
park over materials that can burn. Such
materials might be grass or leaves coming
into contact with your exhaust system. Do
not park or operate your vehicle in areas
where your exhaust system can contact
anything that can burn.
CAUTION!
Always drive at a speed appropriate to the
traffic conditions, the weather and traffic
regulations. The engine may be switched
off even if the warning light is on: repeated
interruptions of the regeneration process
could cause an early deterioration of
engine oil. For this reason, it is always
advisable to wait for the symbol to go off
before turning off the engine, following the
instructions above. Do not complete the
DPF regeneration process when the vehicle
is stopped.

The gear selection must match vehicle
uphill direction (i.e., vehicle facing uphill
is in forward gear; vehicle backing uphill is
in REVERSE (R) gear).
HSA will work in REVERSE gear and all
forward gears. The system will not activate
if the transmission is in PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N). For vehicles equipped with
a manual transmission, if the clutch is
pressed, HSA will remain active.
Disabling And Enabling HSA
This feature can be turned on or turned off.
To change the current setting, proceed as
follows:
If disabling HSA using your instrument
cluster display, refer to “Instrument
Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know Your

If disabling HSA using Uconnect Settings,
refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multi-
media” for further information.
For vehicles not equipped with an instru -
ment cluster display, perform the following
steps:
1. Center the steering wheel (front wheels pointing straight forward)
2. Shift the transmission into PARK (P)
3. Apply the park brake
4. Start the engine 5. Rotate the steering wheel slightly more
than one-half turn to the left
6. Push the “ESC OFF” button located in the lower switch bank below the climate
control four times within 20 seconds.
The “ESC Off Indicator Light” should
turn on and turn off two times
7. Rotate the steering wheel back to center and then an additional slightly more than
one-half turn to the right
8. Turn the ignition to the OFF mode and then back to ON. If the sequence was
completed properly, the “ESC Off Indi -
cator Light” will blink several times to
confirm HSA is disabled
9. Repeat these steps if you want to return this feature to its previous setting
WARNING!
There may be situations where the Hill
Start Assist (HSA) will not activate and
slight rolling may occur, such as on minor
hills or with a loaded vehicle, or while
pulling a trailer. HSA is not a substitute for
active driving involvement. It is always the
driver’s responsibility to be attentive to
distance to other vehicles, people, and
objects, and most importantly brake
operation to ensure safe operation of the
vehicle under all road conditions. Your
complete attention is always required
while driving to maintain safe control of
your vehicle. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in a collision or serious
personal injury.
