STEERING
Electric Power Steering
WARNING: The electric power
steering system has diagnostic checks that
continuously monitor the system. If a fault
is detected, a message displays in the
information display. Stop your vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so. Switch the
ignition off. After at least 10 seconds,
switch the ignition on and watch the
information display for a steering system
warning message. If a steering system
warning message returns, have the system
checked as soon as possible. WARNING:
If the system detects an
error, you may not feel a difference in the
steering, however a serious condition may
exist. Have your vehicle checked as soon
as possible. Failure to do so may result in
loss of steering control.
Your vehicle is equipped with an electric
power-assisted steering system. There is no
fluid reservoir to check or fill. If your vehicle loses electrical power while
you are driving (or if the ignition is turned
off ), you can steer the vehicle manually, but
it takes more effort. You must adapt your
speed and driving behavior to reduced
steering assist. Extreme continuous steering
may increase the effort it takes for you to
steer. This occurs to prevent internal
overheating and permanent damage to your
steering system. If this should occur, you will
neither lose the ability to steer the vehicle
manually nor will it cause permanent
damage. Typical steering and driving
maneuvers will allow the system to cool
down and steering assist will return to
normal.
Steering Tips
If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
•
An improperly inflated tire.
• Uneven tire wear.
• Loose or worn suspension components.
• Loose or worn steering components.
• Improper vehicle alignment. A high crown in the road or high crosswinds
may also make the steering seem to wander
or pull.
PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
WARNING:
You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
The system does not
detect vehicles that are driving in a
different direction, pedestrians at night,
cyclists or animals. Apply the brakes when
necessary. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.

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: If you perceive pre-collision assist
alerts as being too frequent or disturbing,
you can reduce the alert sensitivity, though
we recommend using the highest sensitivity
setting where possible. Setting lower
sensitivity would lead to fewer and later
system warnings.
Note: Brake support and active braking are
active at speeds up to 75 mph (120 km/h). If
your vehicle has a radar sensor, included
with adaptive cruise control, then brake
support and active braking are active up to
the maximum speed of your vehicle.
Note: The system turns off when you select
the deep conditions drive mode. Distance Indication and Alert (If Equipped)
This feature is a function that provides the
driver with a graphical indication of the time
gap to other preceding vehicles traveling in
the same direction. The information display
screen shows one of the images that follow. If the time gap to a preceding vehicle is
small, a red visual indication displays to the
driver.
Note:
Distance indication and alert
deactivates and the images do not display
when adaptive cruise control is active.

Evasive Steering Assist
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching a
stationary vehicle or a vehicle traveling in
the same direction as your vehicle, the
system helps you steer around the vehicle.
The system only activates when all the
following occur:
• The pre-collision assist system detects a
vehicle ahead and starts to apply active
braking.
• You turn the steering wheel in an attempt
to steer around the vehicle. After you turn the steering wheel, the system
applies additional steering torque to help
you steer around the vehicle. After you pass
the vehicle, the system applies steering
torque in the opposite direction to encourage
you to steer back into the lane. The system
deactivates after you fully pass the vehicle.
Note:
The system does not automatically
steer around a vehicle. If you do not turn the
steering wheel, the system does not activate.
Note: The system does not activate if the
distance to the vehicle ahead is too small
and it cannot avoid a crash. Adjusting the Pre-Collision Assist
Settings
You can adjust the following settings by
using the information display controls.
See
General Information (page 131).
• Change alert and distance alert sensitivity
to one of three settings.
• Switch distance indication and alert on
or off.
• If required, switch active braking on or
off.
• If required, switch evasive steering assist
on or off.
Note: Active braking and evasive steering
assist turn on every time you switch the
ignition on.

Excite
For sporty on-road driving. This mode
increases throttle response, provides a
sportier exhaust sound and steering feel,
along with quicker shifting. The suspension
could stiffen, with an emphasis on handling
and control. The transmission also holds
gears longer, helping your vehicle accelerate
faster when shifting gears.
Note:
Sportier exhaust sound may not be
available depending on vehicle
configuration.
Normal
For everyday driving. This mode is a perfect
balance of excitement, comfort and
convenience. This is the default mode after
each ignition cycle. Preserve EV - Plug-In Hybrid Electric
Vehicle (PHEV)
Your vehicle runs the engine as needed to
save electric driving range for later use in
another drive mode. For example, you first
drive at high speeds on open roads where
engine operation is appropriate. Later, you
drive at low speeds in an urban area where
electric only is most efficient. See Plug-In
Hybrid Vehicle Operation (page 206).
Pure EV - Plug-In Hybrid Electric
Vehicle (PHEV)
This mode provides an electric only driving
experience. Your vehicle could accelerate
more slowly, and the top speed could
reduce. For more power, you can temporarily
enable your engine at any time by using one
of the following methods: •
Press and hold the folder button on the
steering wheel when viewing the pure
EV information screen. Your vehicle
enables the engine as needed, and
returns to pure EV after several seconds,
or when the vehicle no longer needs the
engine.
• Press the accelerator pedal fully. A
pop-up message appears. Press OK on
the steering wheel to activate as needed.
Your vehicle could enable the engine if
system conditions require it. An engine
enabled message displays if this occurs. See
Information Messages
(page 137).
Your engine could enable if the climate
control is in a defrost mode and the outside
temperature is cold. If the vehicle does not
need defrost, select a different climate
control mode to permit pure EV.
Your vehicle changes from pure EV mode to
normal mode when the vehicle electric range
is zero.
Note: When in pure EV mode, your vehicle
stays in this mode if there is all electric
driving range available and the system does
not fault.

WHAT IS SPEED SIGN
RECOGNITION
Speed sign recognition detects speed limit
signs to inform you of the current speed limit.
Detected speed signs appear in the
information display.
HOW DOES SPEED SIGN
RECOGNITION WORK
Speed sign recognition uses a sensor behind
the interior mirror to detect speed signs.
If your vehicle has speed sign recognition
with navigation, stored speed sign data may
influence the indicated speed limit value.
SPEED SIGN RECOGNITION
PRECAUTIONS WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all limit
sensor performance. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
