AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
What Is Automatic Emergency Braking
Automatic emergency braking may activate
if the system determines that a collision is
imminent. The system may help reduce
impact damage to avoid the crash
completely.
Automatic emergency braking is only
available up to certain speeds. See
Pre-Collision Assist Limitations (page 280).
Switching Automatic Emergency
Braking On and Off

3. Select
Pre-collision.
4. Switch
Auto Emergency Braking on or
off. Note:
Automatic emergency braking
switches on every time you switch the
ignition on.
EVASIVE STEERING ASSIST (If
Equipped)
What Is Evasive Steering Assist
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching a road
user, evasive steering assist helps you steer
around the road user.
After you turn the steering wheel in an
attempt to avoid a crash with the road user,
the system applies additional steering torque
to help you steer around the road user. After
you pass the road user, the system applies
steering torque when you turn the steering
wheel to steer back into the lane. The system
deactivates after you fully pass the road user.
Note: Road users are defined as obstacles
encountered on the road that the system is
able to detect.
See Pre-Collision Assist
Precautions (page 279). Evasive Steering Assist Limitations
Evasive steering assist only activates when
all the following occur:
•
Automatic emergency braking and
evasive steering assist are on.
• The system detects a road user ahead
and starts to apply the brakes.
• You significantly turn the steering wheel
to steer around a road user.
Note: The system does not automatically
steer around a road user. If you do not turn
the steering wheel, the system does not
activate.
Note: The system does not activate if the
distance to the road user ahead is too small
and the system cannot avoid a crash.

•
Check your hitch, electrical connections
and trailer wheel lug nuts thoroughly after
you have traveled 50 mi (80 km).
• When stopped in congested or heavy
traffic during hot weather, place the
transmission in park (P) to aid engine and
transmission cooling and to help A/C
performance.
• Turn off the speed control with heavy
loads or in hilly terrain. The speed control
may turn off when you are towing on
long, steep slopes.
• Shift to a lower gear when driving down
a long or steep hill. Do not continuously
apply the brakes, as they may overheat
and become less effective.
• If your transmission has Grade Assist or
Tow/Haul, use this feature when towing.
This provides engine braking and helps
eliminate excessive transmission shifting
for optimum fuel economy and
transmission cooling. •
If your vehicle has AdvanceTrac with roll
stability control, this system may turn on
during typical cornering maneuvers with
a heavily loaded trailer. This is normal.
Turning the corner at a slower speed
when towing may reduce this tendency.
• If you are frequently towing a trailer in
hot weather, hilly conditions, at the gross
combined weight rating or any
combination of these factors, consider
refilling your rear axle with synthetic gear
lubricant if the axle is not already filled
with it.
• Allow more distance for stopping with a
trailer attached. Anticipate stops and
gradually brake.
• Avoid parking on a slope. However, if
you must park on a slope, turn the
steering wheel to point your vehicle tires
away from traffic flow, set the parking
brake, place the transmission in park (P)
and place wheel chocks in front and back
of the trailer wheels.
Note: Chocks are not included with your
vehicle. LAUNCHING OR RETRIEVING A
BOAT OR PERSONAL
WATERCRAFT
When backing down a ramp during boat
launching or retrieval:
•
Do not allow the static water level to rise
above the bottom edge of the rear
bumper.
• Do not allow waves to break higher than
6 in (15 cm)
above the bottom edge of
the rear bumper.
Exceeding
6 in (15 cm) could allow water to
enter vehicle components, causing internal
damage to the components and affecting
driveability, emissions and reliability.
Note: Replace the rear axle lubricant
anytime the rear axle has been submerged
in water.
Note: Disconnect the trailer wiring connector
before backing the trailer into the water.
Note: Reconnect the trailer wiring connector
after removing the trailer from the water.

When driving through standing water, drive
very slowly and do not stop your vehicle.
Your brake performance and traction may
be limited. After driving through water and
as soon as it is safe to do so:
•
Lightly press the brake pedal to dry the
brakes and to check that they work.
• Check that the horn works.
• Check that the exterior lights work.
• Turn the steering wheel to check that the
steering power assist works. DRIVING ECONOMICALLY
The following helps to improve fuel
consumption:
•
Drive smoothly, accelerate gently and
anticipate the road ahead to avoid heavy
braking.
• Regularly check your tire pressures and
make sure that they are inflated to the
correct pressure.
• Follow the recommended maintenance
schedule and carry out the
recommended checks.
• Plan your journey and check the traffic
before you set off. It is more efficient to
combine errands into a single trip
whenever possible.
• Avoid idling the engine in cold weather
or for extended periods. Start the engine
only when you are ready to set off.
• Do not carry unnecessary weight in your
vehicle as extra weight wastes fuel. •
Do not add unnecessary accessories to
the exterior of your vehicle, for example
running boards. If you use a roof rack,
remember to fold it down or remove it
when not in use.
• Do not shift into neutral when you are
braking or when your vehicle is slowing
down.
• Shut all windows when driving at high
speeds.
• Switch off all electric systems when not
in use, for example air conditioning. Make
sure that you unplug any accessories
from the auxiliary power points when not
in use.
FLOOR MATS WARNING: Use a floor mat designed
to fit the footwell of your vehicle that does
not obstruct the pedal area. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death.
