Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
The Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD) manages the distribution of the
braking torque between the front and rear
axles by limiting braking pressure to the rear
axle. This is done to prevent overslip of the
rear wheels to avoid vehicle instability, and
to prevent the rear axle from entering ABS
before the front axle.
Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)
Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM) anticipates
the potential for wheel lift by monitoring the
driver’s steering wheel input and the speed
of the vehicle. When ERM determines that
the rate of change of the steering wheel
angle and vehicle’s speed are sufficient to
potentially cause wheel lift, it then applies
the appropriate brake and may also reduce
engine power to lessen the chance that
wheel lift will occur. ERM can only reduce
the chance of wheel lift occurring during
severe or evasive driving maneuvers; it
cannot prevent wheel lift due to other
factors, such as road conditions, leaving the
roadway, or striking objects or other vehicles.NOTE:
ERM is disabled anytime the ESC is in “Full
Off” mode (if equipped). Refer to “Electronic
Stability Control (ESC)” in this section for a
complete explanation of the available ESC
modes.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) enhances
directional control and stability of the
vehicle under various driving conditions.
ESC corrects for oversteering or under
-
steering of the vehicle by applying the brake
of the appropriate wheel(s) to assist in coun -teracting the oversteer or understeer condi
-
tion. Engine power may also be reduced to
help the vehicle maintain the desired path.
ESC uses sensors in the vehicle to determine
the vehicle path intended by the driver and
compares it to the actual path of the vehicle.
When the actual path does not match the
intended path, ESC applies the brake of the
appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting
the oversteer or understeer condition.
Oversteer — when the vehicle is turning
more than appropriate for the steering
wheel position.
Understeer — when the vehicle is turning
less than appropriate for the steering
wheel position.
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” located in the instrument cluster will
start to flash as soon as the ESC system
becomes active. The “ESC Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light” also flashes
when the TCS is active. If the “ESC Activa -
tion/Malfunction Indicator Light” begins to
flash during acceleration, ease up on the
accelerator and apply as little throttle as
possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and
driving to the prevailing road conditions.
WARNING!
Many factors, such as vehicle loading,
road conditions and driving conditions,
influence the chance that wheel lift or
rollover may occur. ERM cannot prevent all
wheel lift or roll overs, especially those
that involve leaving the roadway or striking
objects or other vehicles. The capabilities
of an ERM-equipped vehicle must never
be exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner which could jeopardize the user's
safety or the safety of others.

Full Off — If Equipped

The “Full Off” mode is intended for off-highway or
off-road use only and should not be used on any
public roadways. In this mode, TCS and ESC
features are turned off. To enter the “Full Off”
mode, push and hold the “ESC OFF” switch for
five seconds while the vehicle is stopped with the
engine running. After five seconds, a chime will
sound, the “ESC OFF Indicator Light” will illumi-
nate, and the “ESC OFF” message will display in
the instrument cluster. To turn ESC On again,
momentarily push the “ESC OFF” switch.
NOTE:
System may switch from ESC “Full Off” to
“Partial Off” mode when vehicle exceeds a
predetermined speed. When the vehicle
speed slows below the predetermined speed
the system will return to ESC “Full Off”.
ESC modes may also be affected by drive
modes (if equipped).
ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
And ESC OFF Indicator Light

The “ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light” in the instrument
cluster will come on when the igni
-
tion is turned to the “ESC On” mode.
It should go out with the engine running. If the
“ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light”
comes on continuously with the engine
running, a malfunction has been detected in
the ESC system. If this light remains on after
several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has
been driven several miles (km) at speeds
greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see an autho -
rized dealer as soon as possible to have the
problem diagnosed and corrected.

WARNING!

When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS func -
tionality of ESC, (except for the limited slip
feature described in the TCS section), has
been disabled and the “ESC Off Indicator
Light” will be illuminated. When in
“Partial Off” mode, the engine power
reduction feature of TCS is disabled, and
the enhanced vehicle stability offered by
the ESC system is reduced.

Trailer Sway control (TSC) is disabled
when the ESC system is in the “Partial
Off” mode.
WARNING!
In the ESC “Full Off” mode, the engine
torque reduction and stability features
are disabled. Therefore, enhanced
vehicle stability offered by the ESC
system is unavailable. In an emergency
evasive maneuver, the ESC system will
not engage to assist in maintaining
stability. ESC “Full Off” mode is
intended for off-highway or off-road use
only.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle, nor
can it increase the traction afforded by
prevailing road conditions. ESC cannot
prevent all accidents, including those
resulting from excessive speed in turns,
driving on very slippery surfaces, or
hydroplaning. ESC also cannot prevent
collisions.
WARNING! (Continued)

The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” (located in the instrument cluster)
starts to flash as soon as the tires lose trac-
tion and the ESC system becomes active.
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” also flashes when TCS is active. If the
“ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” begins to flash during acceleration,
ease up on the accelerator and apply as little
throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your
speed and driving to the prevailing road
conditions.
NOTE:
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indi -
cator Light” and the “ESC OFF Indicator
Light” come on momentarily each time
the ignition is turned ON.
Each time the ignition is turned ON, the
ESC system will be on even if it was turned
off previously.
The ESC system will make buzzing or
clicking sounds when it is active. This is
normal; the sounds will stop when ESC
becomes inactive following the maneuver
that caused the ESC activation. The “ESC OFF Indicator Light”
indicates the customer has elected
to have the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) in a reduced mode.
Hill Descent Control (HDC) — If Equipped
Hill Descent Control (HDC) is intended for
low speed off road driving while in 4L Range.
HDC maintains vehicle speed while
descending hills during various driving situa
-
tions. HDC controls vehicle speed by actively
controlling the brakes.
HDC has three states:
1. Off (feature is not enabled and will not activate)
2. Enabled (feature is enabled and ready but activation conditions are not met, or
driver is actively overriding with brake or
throttle application)
3. Active (feature is enabled and actively controlling vehicle speed) Enabling HDC
HDC is enabled by pushing the HDC switch,
but the following conditions must also be
met to enable HDC:
Driveline is in 4L Range
Vehicle speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h)
Park brake is released
Driver door is closed (If doors are
attached, then door must be closed. If
doors are detached, then driver seatbelt
must be buckled)
Activating HDC
Once HDC is enabled it will activate auto -
matically if driven down a grade of sufficient
magnitude. The set speed for HDC is select -
able by the driver, and can be adjusted by
using the gear shift +/-. The following
summarizes the HDC set speeds:
HDC Target Set Speeds
P = No set speed. HDC may be enabled
but will not activate
R = 0.6 mph (1 km/h)
N = 1.2 mph (2 km/h)

D = 0.6 mph (1 km/h)
1st = 0.6 mph (1 km/h)
2nd = 1.2 mph (2 km/h)
3rd = 1.8 mph (3 km/h)
4th = 2.5 mph (4 km/h)
5th = 3.1 mph (5 km/h)
6th = 3.7 mph (6 km/h)
7th = 4.3 mph (7 km/h)
8th = 5.0 mph (8 km/h)
9th = 5.6 mph (9 km/h) – If Equipped
NOTE:
During HDC the +/- shifter input is used for
HDC target speed selection, but will not
affect the gear chosen by the transmission.
When actively controlling HDC, the transmis -
sion will shift appropriately for the
driver-selected set speed and corresponding
driving conditions. Driver Override
The driver may override HDC activation with
throttle or brake application at anytime.
Deactivating HDC
HDC will be deactivated but remain available
if any of the following conditions occur:
Driver overrides HDC set speed with
throttle or brake application
Vehicle speed exceeds 20 mph (32 km/h)
but remains below 40 mph (64 km/h)
Vehicle is on a downhill grade of insuffi -
cient magnitude, is on level ground, or is
on an uphill grade
Vehicle is shifted to PARK (P)
Disabling HDC
HDC will be deactivated and disabled if any
of the following conditions occur:
The driver pushes the HDC switch
The driveline is shifted out of 4L Range
The park brake is applied
Driver door opens (Driver door opens if
doors are attached or driver seatbelt is
unbuckled if doors are detached)
The vehicle is driven greater than 20 mph
(32 km/h) for greater than 70 seconds
The vehicle is driven greater than 40 mph
(64 km/h) (HDC exits immediately)
HDC detects excessive brake temperature
Feedback To The Driver
The instrument cluster has an HDC icon and
the HDC switch has an indicator light, which
offers feedback to the driver about the state
HDC is in.
The cluster icon and switch indicator light
will illuminate and remain on solid when
HDC is enabled or activated. This is the
normal operating condition for HDC.
The cluster icon and switch indicator light
will flash for several seconds then extin -
guish when the driver pushes the HDC
switch but enable conditions are not met.

The cluster icon and switch indicator light will
flash for several seconds then extinguish when
HDC disables due to excess speed.

The cluster icon and switch indicator light
will flash when HDC deactivates due to
overheated brakes. The flashing will stop
and HDC will activate again once the
brakes have cooled sufficiently.
Hill Start Assist (HSA)

The Hill Start Assist (HSA) system is designed to
mitigate roll back from a complete stop while on
an incline. If the driver releases the brake while
stopped on an incline, HSA will continue to hold
the brake pressure for a short period. If the driver
does not apply the throttle before this time
expires, the system will release brake pressure
and the vehicle will roll down the hill as normal.
The following conditions must be met in
order for HSA to activate:
The feature must be enabled
The vehicle must be stopped
Park brake must be off
Driver door must be closed. (If the doors
are attached, then the door must be
closed. If the doors are detached then the
driver's seatbelt must be buckled)
The vehicle must be on a sufficient grade
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, refer to
“Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
WARNING!
HDC is only intended to assist the driver in
controlling vehicle speed when descending
hills. The driver must remain attentive to
the driving conditions and is responsible
for maintaining a safe vehicle speed.
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.

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.

Turning FCW On or Off
The default status of FCW is “on”, this allows
the system to warn you of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front of you.
The FCW button is located in the Uconnect
display in the control settings. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner's Manual for further information.
To turn the FCW system on, press the
forward collision button once.
To turn the FCW system off, press the
forward collision button once.
NOTE:
When the FCW is “on”, this allows the
system to warn the driver of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front.

When the FCW is “off”, this prevents the
system from warning the driver of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front. If the FCW
is set to “off”, “FCW OFF” will be displayed
in the instrument cluster display.

When FCW status is set to “Only
Warning”, this prevents the system from
providing limited active braking, or addi -tional brake support if the driver is not
braking adequately in the event of a poten
-
tial frontal collision.
When FCW status is set to “Warning and
Braking”, this allows the system to warn
the driver of a possible collision with the
vehicle in front using audible/visual warn -
ings and it applies autonomous braking.

The system will retain the last setting selected
by the driver after ignition shutdown.

FCW Braking Status And Sensitivity

The FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking status are
programmable through the Uconnect System.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in
the Owner’s Manual for further information.

Far
When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the “Far” setting and the system
status is “Only Warning”, this allows
the system to warn the driver of apossible more distant collisions with
the vehicle in front using audible/ visual warnings.
More cautious drivers that do not mindfrequent warnings may prefer this setting.
Medium
When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the “Medium” setting and the system
status is “Only Warning”, this allows
the system to warn the driver of apossible collision with the v ehicle in
front using audible/visual warnings.
Near
When the sensitivity of FCW is set to the “Near” setting and the system
status is “Only Warning”, this allows
the system to warn the driver of apossible closer collision with the
vehicle in front using audible/visual
warnings.
This setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” and “Medium”
settings, which allows for a moredynamic driving experience.
More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to avoid frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
