IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
Have a flat tire or a burnt-out bulb?
At times, a problem such as these may inter-
fere with your driving experience.
The section on emergencies can help you to
deal with critical situations independently.
In an emergency, we recommend that you call
the phone number found in the Warranty
Book.
You may also consider contacting an autho -
rized dealer.
HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS
The Hazard Warning Flashers switch is located
in the switch bank below the radio screen.
Push the switch once to turn the Hazard
Warning Flashers on. When the switch is acti -
vated, all directional turn signals will flash on
and off to warn oncoming traffic of an emer -
gency. Push the switch a second time to turn
the Hazard Warning Flashers off.
This is an emergency warning system and it
should not be used when the vehicle is in
motion. Use it when your vehicle is disabled
and is creating a safety hazard for other motor -
ists. When you must leave the vehicle to seek
assistance, the Hazard Warning Flashers will
continue to operate even though the ignition is
cycled to OFF.
Hazard Warning Flashers Switch
SOS - EMERGENCY CALL
Your vehicle has an on-board assistance
feature that is designed to provide support in
case of an accident and/or emergency. This
feature is automatically activated by air bag
intervention, or can be activated manually by
pushing the button located on the base of the
rear view mirror.

NOTE:

SOS - Emergency Call will only work with an
enabled network operator. SOS - Emergency Call Button
The SOS - Emergency Call system automati -
cally forwards a call to emergency services in
the event of an accident with air bag interven -
tion providing that the ignition device is in RUN
position and the air bags are working. When
the connection between the vehicle and a
public safety operator is made, your vehicle
will automatically transmit location and
vehicle information to the emergency service
operator.
CAUTION!
Prolonged use of the Hazard Warning
Flashers may discharge the vehicle’s
battery.
21_GA_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 190

191

Only a public safety operator can remotely end
the SOS - Emergency Call and, if necessary,
call the vehicle back through the Emergency
Call system. Once the call has ended, you can
still call the emergency service operator to
indicate additional information by pushing the
button again.
To Use SOS - Emergency Call
Push and hold the SOS - Emergency Call
button for a few seconds. The LED, located
next to the SOS button, will blink once and
then stay on indicating a call has been placed.

NOTE:

If the SOS - Emergency Call button is acciden-
tally pushed, there is a 10 second delay before
the call is placed. The system will issue a
verbal alert that a call is about to be made. To
cancel the call connection, push the SOS -
Emergency Call button again.
Once a connection between the vehicle and an
emergency service operator is made, the SOS -
Emergency Call system will transmit the
following important vehicle information to the
operator:
Indication that the occupant placed an SOS -
Emergency Call.

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
The last known GPS coordinates of the
vehicle.
You will then be able to speak with the emer -
gency service operator to determine if addi -
tional help is needed.
The SOS - Emergency Call has priority over
other audio sources, which will be muted. If
you have a phone connected via Bluetooth, it
is disconnected and reconnected at the end of
the SOS - Emergency Call. Voice prompts will
guide you during the SOS - Emergency Call. If a
connection is made between an emergency
service operator and your vehicle, emergency
service operators may record conversations
and sounds within your vehicle once a connec -
tion is made, and by using the service you
consent to having this information shared.
NOTE:

If you have not subscribed to the SOS service
or if the service is not available or has expired,
the Connect system will display a dedicated
screen when the button is pressed informing
you to contact the national emergency number
9-1-1 (the respective graphic button will be
displayed to make the call if you have
connected your mobile phone via Bluetooth®
The call to the national emergency number
9-1-1 will be made via the mobile phone by
pressing red graphic button shown on the
Connect system display.

Cable Disconnection
Once the engine is started, remove the
connection cables in reverse sequence, as
described below:
1. Disconnect the negative (-) jumper cablefrom the remote negative (-) post of the
discharged vehicle.
2. Disconnect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable from the negative (-) post of
the booster battery.
3. Disconnect the opposite end of the posi -
tive (+) jumper cable from the positive (+)
post of the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable from the positive (+) post of
the vehicle with the discharged battery.
If frequent jump starting is required to start
your vehicle, you should have the battery and
charging system inspected at an authorized
dealer.Bump Starting
Never jump start the engine by pushing,
towing or coasting downhill.

NOTE:

You cannot start a vehicle with an automatic
transmission by pushing it.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
Engine overheating may occur in situations of
extreme environmental temperatures,
frequent engine stops/starts, or driving in
heavy traffic. If the engine becomes over -
heated, the Engine Temperature Warning
Light in the instrument cluster will illuminate
along with a dedicated message
Ú
page 73.
If the vehicle is overheating, it will need to be
serviced by an authorized dealer.
In any of the following situations, you can
reduce the potential for overheating by taking
the appropriate action.
On the highways — slow down.
In city traffic — while stopped, place the
transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not
increase engine idle speed.

NOTE:

There are steps that you can take to slow down
an impending overheat condition:
If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off.
The A/C system adds heat to the engine
cooling system and turning the A/C off can
help remove this heat.
You can also turn the temperature control
to maximum heat, the mode control to floor
and the blower control to high. This allows
the heater core to act as a supplement to
the radiator and aids in removing heat from
the engine cooling system.
CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power
outlets draw power from the vehicle’s
battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular
phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough without engine operation, the
vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently
to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from
your radiator. If you see or hear steam
coming from under the hood, do not open
the hood until the radiator has had time to
cool. Never try to open a cooling system
pressure cap when the radiator or coolant
bottle is hot.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If temperature gauge
reads “H”, pull over and stop the vehicle.
Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops back into
the normal range. If the pointer remains on
the “H”, turn the engine off immediately,
and call for service.

SUGGESTIONS FOR OBTAINING
SERVICE FOR YOUR VEHICLE

with the service manager. Keep a mainte-

this can often provide a clue to the current

or the specific work you want done. If you've
had an accident or work done that is not on
your maintenance log, let the service advisor
know.
Be Reasonable With Requests
If you list a number of items and you must
have your vehicle by the end of the day,
discuss the situation with the service advisor
and list the items in order of priority. At many
authorized dealers, you may obtain a rental
vehicle (additional charges may apply). If you

ment.
