CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
(IF
EQUIPPED) WARNING:
Do not use the cross
traffic alert system as a replacement for
using the interior and exterior mirrors or
looking over your shoulder before
reversing out of a parking space. The
cross traffic alert system is not a
replacement for careful driving. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly during severe weather
conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy
rain and spray. Always drive with due
care and attention. Failure to take care
may result in a crash.
The system alerts you of vehicles
approaching from the sides behind your
vehicle when you shift into reverse (R).
Using Cross Traffic Alert
The system detects vehicles that approach
at a speed between
4 mph (6 km/h) and
37 mph (60 km/h). Coverage decreases
when the sensors are partially, mostly or
fully obstructed. Slowly reversing helps
increase the coverage area and
effectiveness.

WARNING: The system cannot
help prevent all crashes. Do not rely on
this system to replace driver judgment
and the need to maintain a safe distance
and speed.
Using the Pre-Collision Assist
System
The system is active at speeds above
3 mph (5 km/h) and pedestrian detection
is active at speeds up to
50 mph
(80 km/h). If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
another stationary vehicle, a vehicle
traveling in the same direction as yours, or
a pedestrian within your driving path, the
system provides three levels of
functionality:
1. Alert.
2. Brake support.
3. Active braking.
Alert
: When active, a flashing visual
warning and an audible warning tone
sounds. Brake support
: The system helps reduce
the impact speed by preparing the brakes
for rapid braking. The system does not
automatically apply the brakes. If you press
the brake pedal, the system can apply
additional braking up to maximum braking
force, even if you lightly press the brake
pedal.
Active braking
: It activates if the system
determines that a collision is about to
occur. The system may help the driver
reduce impact damage or completely
avoid the crash.
Note: Brake support and active braking are
active at speeds up to
75 mph (120 km/h).
If your vehicle has a radar sensor with
adaptive cruise control, then brake support
and active braking are active up to the
maximum speed of your vehicle.
Note: If you perceive pre-collision assist
alerts as being too frequent or disturbing,
you can reduce the alert sensitivity, though
the manufacturer recommends using the
highest sensitivity setting. Setting lower
sensitivity would lead to fewer and later
system warnings.
Note: The system turns off when you
manually disable AdvanceTrac ™, or when
you select track mode.
Distance Indication and Alert
(If
Equipped)
Distance indication and alert provides a
graphical indication of the time gap to
other preceding vehicles traveling in the
same direction. The distance indication
and alert screen in the information display
shows an image similar to the one that
follows.

The pre-collision assist system temporarilyturns off. Pre-collision assist reactivates a short time after the weather conditions improve.
Swirling water or snow or ice on the surface
of the road may interfere with the radar signals.
Contact an authorized dealer to check theradar for proper coverage and operation.
Radar is out of alignment due to a front-
end impact.
Note: Proper system operation requires a
clear view of the road by the camera. Repair
any windshield damage in the area of the
camera's field of view.
Note: If something hits the front end of your
vehicle or damage occurs, the radar sensing
zone may change. This could cause missed
or false vehicle detections. Contact an
authorized dealer to check the radar for
proper coverage and operation. Note:
If your vehicle detects excessive heat
at the camera or a potential misalignment
condition, a message may display in the
information display indicating temporary
sensor unavailability. When operational
conditions are correct, the message
deactivates. For example, when the ambient
temperature around the sensor decreases
or the sensor successfully recalibrates.

DRIVE CONTROL - MACH 1 (IF
EQUIPPED)
Selectable Drive Modes
Selectable drive modes deliver a
customized driving experience using a
variety of electronic vehicle systems. The
systems optimize vehicle dynamics and
powertrain response based on your
selected mode. Systems associated with
selectable drive modes are:
• Electronically power assisted steering.
See
Steering (page 201).
• Electronic stability control and traction
control maintain your vehicle control
in adverse conditions or high
performance driving.
See Stability
Control (page 175).
• Electronic throttle control enhances
the powertrain response to your driving
input.
• Adaptive dampers, if your vehicle
comes with them.
• Active exhaust, if provided on your
vehicle, adjusts the sound
characteristics of your vehicle.
Using Selectable Drive Modes To change the drive mode setting, press
the mode button on the instrument panel
under the display. The first press
illuminates the selected mode, subsequent
presses change the selected mode.
Note:
Mode changes are not available when
the ignition is off or when the transmission
is in reverse (R). Some modes may be
unavailable when the transmission is in drive
(D) or sport (S).
Note: Your vehicle may have some of the
drive modes that follow.
Modes:
• Normal – Best suited for everyday
driving. If your vehicle has adaptive
dampers, the suspension delivers a
balanced combination of comfort and
handling. Selectable steering defaults
to normal but can be changed using
the steering button.
• Sport – Engages when you shift your
automatic transmission into sport (S).
Sport mode increases throttle
response and helps your vehicle
accelerate faster, but does not change
the vehicle dynamics or stability
system. The automatic transmission
holds lower gears and a higher RPM
when lifting off the accelerator. The
automatic transmission downshifts to
a higher RPM when braking
aggressively.
• Sport+ – Best suited for spirited driving.
This mode increases throttle response,
and if your vehicle has active exhaust,
it takes on a more powerful tone. If your
vehicle has adaptive dampers, the
suspension becomes stiffer, body
motion reduces and the steering
becomes more precise. Selectable
steering defaults to sport. Depending
on your vehicle configuration, you may
be able to change the selectable
steering setting by pressing the steering

in gear position, the selected mode defaults
to normal.
Note: Pre-Collision Assist is automatically
disabled when track mode is selected.
See
Pre-Collision Assist (page 202).
Note: If your vehicle has adaptive dampers,
the steering setting is optimized to work with
each drive mode. Other steering settings
may not be available.
Selectable Steering Press the steering button on the
instrument panel to change the
steering feel. The first press
illuminates the selected mode. Each time
you press the button, it changes the mode.
Modes:
• Normal - Default factory setting.
• Sport - Slightly higher effort required
for steering with more road force felt
through the steering wheel.
• Comfort - Slightly less effort required
for steering with less road force felt
through the steering wheel.
Note: A soft feedback bump in the steering
wheel may be felt after you make a
selection. Note:
The steering setting defaults to
normal if the battery is disconnected or
removed.
Active Exhaust
(If Equipped) Use the information display to
adjust the tone of the exhaust.
Active Exhaust modes:
• Quiet - Lowers the noise of the exhaust.
• Normal - Default factory setting.
• Sport - Raises the noise of the exhaust.
• Track - Tunes the exhaust for track
performance.
Note: The track exhaust mode setting is
only for use at tracks and not for use on
public roadways. Use of this setting results
in increased exterior noise, which may not
meet state and local laws and regulations.
It is the obligation of the driver to operate
the vehicle in a manner that complies with
state and local requirements. Only use the
track exhaust mode setting at a competition
track or an off-road course where elevated
exterior vehicle noise is acceptable.
Rev Match
(If Equipped)
This feature provides a smoother driving
experience, particularly during a downshift
event. This is accomplished by a shift
position prediction that commands a quick
engine RPM match to the selected gear.
You can switch this feature on and off
through the information display. See
General Information
(page 99).
Note: The system remembers your last
selection through ignition cycles.
Note: Rev match is only available with a
