States of America, which is responsible for its
availability and accuracy. Any changes in GPS
availability and accuracy, or in environmental
conditions, may impact the operation of this
navigation system. TomTom® does not accept
any liability for the availability and accuracy
of GPS.
Use With Care
Use of TomTom® navigation while driving still
means that you need to drive with due care and
attention. Safety Settings
We recommend using the safety settings to
make your driving as safe as possible. These
are some of the options included in the safety
settings:
Show safety reminders
Warn when driving faster than allowed
You can also drive more safely by using voice
commands to control navigation Ú page 139.

RADIO OPERATION AND MOBILE PHONES
Under certain conditions, the mobile phone
being on in your vehicle can cause erratic or
noisy performance from your radio. This
condition may be lessened or eliminated by
relocating the mobile phone. This condition is
not harmful to the radio. If your radio
performance does not satisfactorily “clear”
by the repositioning of the phone, it is
recommended that the radio volume be turned
down or off during mobile phone operation
when not using Uconnect (if equipped).

Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
The radiated output power of the internal
wireless radio is far below the FCC and IC radio
frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the
wireless radio will be used in such a manner
that the radio is 8 inch (20 cm) or further from
the human body. The internal wireless radio operates within
guidelines found in radio frequency safety
standards and recommendations, which reflect
the consensus of the scientific community.
The radio manufacturer believes the internal
wireless radio is safe for use by consumers. The
level of energy emitted is far less than the
electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless
devices such as mobile phones. However, the
use of wireless radios may be restricted in some
situations or environments, such as aboard
airplanes. If you are unsure of restrictions, you
are encouraged to ask for authorization before
turning on the wireless radio Ú

SAFETY FEATURES
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
The ABS is designed to aid the driver in
maintaining vehicle control under adverse
braking conditions. The system operates with a
separate computer to modulate hydraulic
pressure, to prevent wheel lock-up and to help
avoid skidding on slippery surfaces.
The system's pump motor runs during an ABS
stop to provide regulated hydraulic pressure.
The pump motor makes a low humming noise
during operation, which is normal.
The ABS includes an amber ABS Warning Light.
When the light is illuminated, the ABS is not
functioning. The system reverts to standard
non-anti-lock brakes. Placing the ignition in the
OFF mode and to the ON mode again may reset
the ABS if the fault detected was only
momentary.When you are in a severe braking condition
involving the use of the ABS, you will experience
some pedal drop as the vehicle comes to a stop.
This is the result of the system reverting to the
base brake system.
Engagement of the ABS may be accompanied
by a pulsing sensation. You may also hear a
clicking noise. These occurrences are normal
and indicate that the system is functioning
properly.
WARNING!
The ABS contains sophisticated electronic
equipment that may be susceptible to inter
-
ference caused by improperly installed or
high output radio transmitting equipment.
This interference can cause possible loss of
anti-lock braking capability. Installation of
such equipment should be performed by
qualified professionals.
Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will
diminish their effectiveness and may lead
to a collision. Pumping makes the stopping
distance longer. Just press firmly on your
brake pedal when you need to slow down or
stop.
The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can
it increase braking or steering efficiency
beyond that afforded by the condition of the
vehicle brakes and tires or the traction
afforded.
The ABS cannot prevent collisions,
including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, following another vehicle
too closely, or hydroplaning.
The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle
must never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner that could jeopardize
the user’s safety or the safety of others.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL (EBC)
S
YSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced
Electronic Brake Control (EBC) system that
includes the Brake Assist System (BAS) and
Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Hill Start
Assist (HSA), Traction Control System (TCS), and
Trailer Sway Control (TSC). These systems
complement the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
by optimizing the vehicle braking capability
during emergency braking maneuvers.
Brake Assist System (BAS)
The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s
braking capability during emergency braking
maneuvers. The system detects an emergency
braking situation by sensing the rate and
amount of brake application and then applies
optimum pressure to the brakes. This can help
reduce braking distances. The BAS
complements the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS). Applying the brakes very quickly results
in the best BAS assistance. To receive the
benefit of the system, you must apply
continuous braking pressure during the
stopping sequence (do not “pump” the brakes). Do not reduce brake pedal pressure unless
braking is no longer desired. Once the brake
pedal is released, the BAS is deactivated.
Crosswind Assist (CWA)
CWA helps keep your vehicle from drifting out of
its lane due to unexpected crosswinds by
means of targeted braking of individual wheels.
The system will provide automatic stability
assistance to counteract the effect of strong
side wind. If a strong lateral wind is detected,
front and rear brakes on the affected side are applied, creating a steering effect that mitigates
the cross wind influence. During system
intervention, the driver should perceive the
natural stable handling feel of the vehicle.
Crosswind Assist will activate automatically
when the vehicle reaches speeds above
approximately 43 mph (70 km/h). When the
system is activated, the ESC Warning Light in
the instrument cluster will blink to warn the
driver.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
ESC enhances directional control and stability
of the vehicle under various driving conditions.
ESC corrects for over/under steering of the
vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate
wheel(s) to counteract the above conditions.
Engine power may also be reduced to help the
vehicle maintain the desired path.
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.
WARNING!
The Brake Assist System (BAS) cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the
traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions. BAS cannot prevent collisions,
including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery
surfaces, or hydroplaning. The capabilities of
a BAS-equipped vehicle must never be
exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner,
which could jeopardize the user's safety or
the safety of others.
