INTERIOR CLIMATE -
VEHICLES WITH: AUTOMATIC
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
Note: To improve the time to reach a
comfortable temperature in hot weather,
drive with the windows open until you feel
cold air through the air vents. Automatic Climate Control
Note:
Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is
not necessary. Automatic mode is best
recommended to maintain set temperature.
Note: The system adjusts to heat or cool
the interior to the temperature you select
as quickly as possible.
Note: For the system to function efficiently,
the instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.
Note: If you select
AUTO during cold
outside temperatures, the system directs
air flow to the windshield and side window
air vents. In addition, the blower motor may
run at a slower speed until the engine warms
up.
Note: If you select
AUTO during hot
temperatures and the inside of the vehicle
is hot, the system uses recirculated air to
maximize interior cooling. Blower motor
speed may also reduce until the air cools.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: Extended idling at high
engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire or other
damage. WARNING:
Do not park, idle or
drive your vehicle on dry grass or other
dry ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system, creating the risk of fire. WARNING: Do not start the engine
in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic.
Always open the garage door before you
start the engine. WARNING:
Exhaust leaks may
result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not
drive if you smell exhaust fumes.
If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately
5 mi
(8 km) after you reconnect it. This is
because the engine management system
must realign itself with the engine. You
can disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.

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 80 mph (130 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. 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.

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 203).
• Electronic stability control and traction
control maintain your vehicle control
in adverse conditions or high
performance driving.
See Stability
Control (page 176). See Traction
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 you can change it 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

No Lift Shift (If Equipped)
This feature provides you with the ability
to keep the accelerator pedal firmly
pressed down during high engine speed,
wide open throttle accelerations. During
wide open throttle gear shifts, the engine
controller prevents the engine speed from
flaring with the clutch disengaged during
a rapid upshift. This allows reduced
manual transmission upshift time, resulting
in quicker acceleration and smoother no
lift shifts.
