Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and
the arrows on each side of the instrument
cluster flash to show proper operation of the
front and rear turn signal lights.
NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash,
or there is a very fast flash rate, check for a
defective outside light bulb. If an indicator
fails to light when the lever is moved, it
would suggest that the indicator bulb is
defective.
Lights-On Reminder
If the headlights, parking lights, or cargo
lights are left on after the ignition is placed
in the OFF position, a chime will sound when
the driver’s door is opened.
Headlight Leveling System — If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with a headlight
leveling system. This system allows the driver
to maintain proper headlight beam position
with the road surface regardless of vehicle load.
The control switch is located on the instrument
panel next to the dimmer control.
Headlight Leveling Control
To operate, rotate the control switch until the
appropriate number, which corresponds to
the load listed on the chart, aligns with the
indicator line on the switch.

WARNING LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
The warning/indicator lights will illuminate
in the instrument panel together with a dedi-
cated message and/or acoustic signal when
applicable. These indications are indicative
and precautionary and as such must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or alternative
to the information contained in the Owner’s
Manual, which you are advised to read care -
fully in all cases. Always refer to the informa -
tion in this chapter in the event of a failure
indication. All active telltales will display
first if applicable. The system check menu
may appear different based upon equipment
options and current vehicle status. Some
telltales are optional and may not appear.
Red Warning Lights
— Air Bag Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to indicate
a fault with the air bag, and will turn on for
four to eight seconds as a bulb check when
the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/
ON/RUN position. This light will illuminate
with a single chime when a fault with the air
bag has been detected, it will stay on until the fault is cleared. If the light is either not
on during startup, stays on, or turns on while
driving, have the system inspected at an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
— Brake Warning Light
This warning light monitors various brake
functions, including brake fluid level and
parking brake application. If the brake light
turns on it may indicate that the parking
brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is
low, or that there is a problem with the
anti-lock brake system.
If the light remains on when the parking
brake has been disengaged, and the fluid
level is at the full mark on the master
cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible
brake hydraulic system malfunction or that a
problem with the Brake Booster has been
detected by the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system. In this case, the light will remain on
until the condition has been corrected. If the
problem is related to the brake booster, the
ABS pump will run when applying the brake,
and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt
during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve
braking capacity in the event of a failure to a
portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in
either half of the dual brake system is indi
-
cated by the Brake Warning Light, which will
turn on when the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder has dropped below a speci -
fied level.
The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.
NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during
sharp cornering maneuvers, which change
fluid level conditions. The vehicle should
have service performed, and the brake fluid
level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate
repair is necessary.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light
on is dangerous. Part of the brake system
may have failed. It will take longer to stop
the vehicle. You could have a collision.
Have the vehicle checked immediately.

SAFETY
88
The BSM system notifies the driver of
objects in the detection zones by illumi-
nating the BSM warning light located in the
outside mirrors in addition to sounding an
audible (chime) alert and reducing the radio
volume. Refer to “Modes Of Operation” for
further information.
The BSM system monitors the detection
zone from three different entry points (side,
rear, front) while driving to see if an alert is
necessary. The BSM system will issue an
alert during these types of zone entries.
Entering From The Side
Vehicles that move into your adjacent lanes
from either side of the vehicle.
Entering From The Rear
Vehicles that come up from behind your
vehicle on either side and enter the rear
detection zone with a relative speed of less
than 30 mph (48 km/h).
Overtaking Traffic
If you pass another vehicle slowly with a rela -
tive speed less than 15 mph (24 km/h) and
the vehicle remains in the blind spot for
approximately 1.5 seconds, the warning light will be illuminated. If the difference in speed
between the two vehicles is greater than
15 mph (24 km/h), the warning light will not
illuminate.
The BSM system is designed not to issue an
alert on stationary objects such as guardrails,
posts, walls, foliage, berms, etc. However,
occasionally the system may alert on such
objects. This is normal operation and your
vehicle does not require service.
The BSM system will not alert you of objects
that are traveling in the opposite direction of
the vehicle in adjacent lanes.Rear Cross Path (RCP)
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is
intended to aid the driver when backing out
of parking spaces where their vision of
oncoming vehicles may be blocked. Proceed
slowly and cautiously out of the parking
space until the rear end of the vehicle is
exposed. The RCP system will then have a
clear view of the cross traffic and if an
oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the
driver.
RCP monitors the rear detection zones on
both sides of the vehicle, for objects that are
moving toward the side of the vehicle with a
minimum speed of approximately 3 mph
(5 km/h), to objects moving a maximum of
approximately 20 mph (32 km/h), such as in
parking lot situations.
NOTE:
In a parking lot situation, oncoming vehicles
can be obscured by vehicles parked on either
side. If the sensors are blocked by other
structures or vehicles, the system will not be
able to alert the driver.
When RCP is on and the vehicle is in
REVERSE (R), the driver is alerted using
both the visual and audible alarms, including
reducing the radio volume.
WARNING!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only
an aid to help detect objects in the blind
spot zones. The BSM system is not
designed to detect pedestrians, bicyclists,
or animals. Even if your vehicle is
equipped with the BSM system, always
check your vehicle’s mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use your turn signal
before changing lanes. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.

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
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode,
the BSM system will provide a visual alert in
the appropriate side view mirror based on a
detected object. However, when the system
is operating in Rear Cross Path (RCP) mode,
the system will respond with both visual andaudible alerts when a detected object is
present. 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.
Whenever 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 is
also muted. 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 previ -
ously stored mode will be recalled and used.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) With
Mitigation — If Equipped
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
provides the driver with audible, visual warn -
ings (within the instrument cluster display),
and may apply a haptic warning in the form
of a brake jerk, to warn the driver when it
detects a potential frontal collision. The
warnings are intended to provide the driver
with enough time to react, avoid or mitigate
the potential collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the
forward looking sensors as well as Electronic
Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate the
probability of a forward collision. When the
WARNING!
Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP) is not a
back up aid system. It is intended to be
used to help a driver detect an oncoming
vehicle in a parking lot situation. Drivers
must be careful when backing up, even
when using RCP. Always check carefully
behind your vehicle, look behind you, and
be sure to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and blind
spots before backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.

Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warning
Should this occur, you should stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tires with low pres -
sure (those in a different color in the instru -
ment cluster graphic) to the vehicle’s
recommended cold placard pressure value.
Once the system receives the updated tire
pressures, the system will automatically
update, the pressure values in the graphic
display in the instrument cluster will return
to their original color, and the TPMS Warning
Light will turn off. NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure
may need to be increased up to an additional
4 psi (28 kPa) above the recommended cold
placard pressure in order to turn the TPMS
Warning Light off.
The vehicle may need to be driven for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for
the TPMS to receive this information.
Service TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the TPMS
Warning Light will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then remain on solid. The
system fault will also sound a chime. In addi
-
tion, the instrument cluster will display a
"SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM"
message for a minimum of five seconds and
then display dashes (--) in place of the pres -
sure value to indicate which sensor is not
being received. If the ignition is cycled, this sequence will
repeat, providing the system fault still exists.
If the system fault no longer exists, the
TPMS Warning Light will no longer flash, and
the “SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM”
message will no longer display, and a pres
-
sure value will display in place of the dashes.
A system fault can occur due to any of the
following:
Jamming due to electronic devices or
driving next to facilities emitting the same
radio frequencies as the TPMS sensors
Installing some form of aftermarket
window tinting that affects radio wave
signals
Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or
wheel housings
Using tire chains on the vehicle
Using wheels/tires not equipped with
TPMS sensors

Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System
(BeltAlert)
Front Seat and Second Row BeltAlert (If
Equipped) BeltAlert is a feature intended to remind
the driver and outboard front seat passenger
to buckle their seat belts. The BeltAlert
feature is active whenever the ignition switch
is in the START or ON/RUN position.
Initial Indication
If the driver is unbuckled when the ignition
switch is first in the START or ON/RUN posi -
tion, a chime will signal for a few seconds. If
the driver or outboard front seat passenger is
unbuckled when the ignition switch is first in
the START or ON/RUN position, the respec -
tive Seat Belt Reminder Light will turn solid
red and remain red until the seat belt is
buckled. The respective Seat Belt Reminder
Light will turn solid green once the seat belt
is buckled. After the driver and outboard
front seat passenger have buckled their seat
belts all Seat Belt Reminder Lights will turn
off. The outboard front passenger seat
BeltAlert is not active when the outboard
front passenger seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert Warning Sequence
The BeltAlert warning sequence is activated
when the vehicle is moving above a specified
vehicle speed range and the driver or
outboard front seat passenger is unbuckled
(the outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert
is not active when the outboard front
passenger seat is unoccupied). The BeltAlert
warning sequence starts by blinking the
respective Seat Belt Reminder Light and
sounding an intermittent chime. Once the
BeltAlert warning sequence has completed,
the Seat Belt Reminder Light will remain
solid red until the driver and outboard front
seat passenger are buckled. The BeltAlert
warning sequence may repeat based on
vehicle speed until the driver and occupied
outboard front seat passenger seat belts are
buckled. The driver should instruct all occu
-
pants to buckle their seat belts.
Change of Status
If the driver or outboard front seat passenger
unbuckles their seat belt while the vehicle is
traveling, the BeltAlert warning sequence
will begin until the seat belts are buckled
again. The outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert
is not active when the outboard front
passenger seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert may
be triggered when an animal or other items
are placed on the outboard front passenger
seat or when the seat is folded flat (if
equipped). It is recommended that pets be
restrained in the rear seat (if equipped) in
pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secured
by seat belts, and cargo is properly stowed.
Rear Seat BeltAlert (If Equipped)
Rear Seat BeltAlert shows the driver whether
the seat belts in the rear seat are buckled or
unbuckled (if equipped with Rear Seat
BeltAlert). When the ignition switch is in the
START or ON/RUN position, a Seat Belt
Reminder Light located in the upper right
corner of the instrument cluster turns on for
each second row seat position (if equipped
with Rear Seat BeltAlert). The Rear BeltAlert
warning sequence is activated when the
vehicle is moving above a specified vehicle
speed range.
If a second row seat belt is buckled, the Rear
BeltAlert Reminder light for that seating
position will illuminate solid green. If a rear
seat passenger is not wearing the seat belt,
the BeltAlert warning sequence will start (if
