reduced.
Cross Traffic Alert System
Limitations
The system may not correctly operate
when any of the following occur:
•
Something blocks the sensors.
• Adjacently parked vehicles or objects
obstruct the sensors.
• Vehicles approach at speeds less than
4 mph (6 km/h) or greater than 37 mph
(60 km/h).
• The vehicle speed is greater than 7 mph
(12 km/h)
.
• You reverse out of an angled parking
space.
Switching the System On and Off
To switch the system on or off, adjust the
settings using the touchscreen. See
Settings
(page 431).
Note: The system turns on every time you
switch the ignition on. To permanently
switch the system off, contact an authorized
dealer.
Cross Traffic Alert System Sensors The sensors are behind the rear bumper
on both sides of your vehicle.
If something blocks the sensors, a message
may appear in the information display
when you shift into reverse (R).
Note:
Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt.
Note: Do not cover the sensors with bumper
stickers, repair compound or other objects.
Note: Blocked sensors could affect system
performance.
Note: Bike and cargo racks could cause
false alerts due to obstruction of the sensor.
We recommend switching the feature off
when using a bike or cargo rack.
Cross Traffic Alert Indicator When the system detects an
approaching vehicle, a tone
sounds, a warning lamp
illuminates in the relevant exterior mirror,
and arrows appear in the information
display to show which side the
approaching vehicle is coming from.
Note: If arrows do not display, a message
appears in the information display.
If the system malfunctions, a warning lamp
illuminates in the instrument cluster and
a message appears in the information
display. Have your vehicle checked as soon
as possible.
Note: In exceptional conditions, the system
could alert you, even when there is nothing
in the detection zone, for example a vehicle
passing further away from your vehicle.

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 has an electric power steering
system, there is no fluid reservoir, no
maintenance is required. If your vehicle loses electrical power while
you are driving, electric power steering
assistance is lost. The steering system still
operates and you can steer your vehicle
manually. Manually steering your vehicle
requires more effort.
Extreme continuous steering may increase
the effort required for you to steer your
vehicle, this increased effort prevents
overheating and permanent damage to
the steering system. You do not lose the
ability to steer your vehicle manually.
Typical steering and driving maneuvers
allow the system to cool and return to
normal operation.
Steering Tips
If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
•
Correct tire pressures.
• Uneven tire wear.
• Loose or worn suspension
components.
• Loose or worn steering components.
• Improper vehicle alignment.
Note: A high crown in the road or high
crosswinds may also make the steering
seem to wander or pull.

1 Handling Package
(If Equipped)
Due to low ground clearance, your vehicle
is transported from the assembly plant to
the dealer with front suspension spacers
installed. These are removed by the dealer
prior to customer delivery and are provided
with the vehicle. If you plan to transport or
trailer your vehicle and need additional
clearance, the spacers may be reinstalled
for additional underbody clearance. Note:
Suspension spacers must be
removed before driving your vehicle. Failure
to remove the spacers may cause damage
to suspension components and degrade
vehicle performance.
Note: It is only possible for you to install or
remove the suspension spacers while the
vehicle is raised in the air. 227

OPENING THE CONVERTIBLE
TOP
When you use the top, you must first
unlatch it from the windshield and then
use the convertible top control.
Note:
The convertible top does not operate
unless the vehicle is stationary or traveling
under 3 mph (5 km/h). A chime sounds and
a warning message appears in the
instrument panel. When you slow down, the
top operates.
Note: When you latch or unlatch the
convertible top, the audio system mutes
briefly. This allows the vehicle to optimize
the cabin ’s sound quality depending on the
position of the convertible top.
To unlatch the convertible top:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop. The ignition must be on. We
recommend that the vehicle remains
running when you open the top to
prevent draining the battery.
2. Check the convertible top stowage compartment behind the rear seat to
be sure it is empty. Make sure the
convertible top outer surface is free of
debris.
3. Move the latch handle, above the interior mirror, down toward the
windshield and rotate the handle
clockwise to release the convertible
top. The windows open automatically when
you press the convertible top control.
To open the convertible top:
1. Press and hold the convertible top
control on the overhead console, until
the windows are completely down and
the top stores completely.
2. Release the convertible top control. Note:
Do not store articles behind the rear
seat. Articles in the convertible top stowage
compartment may break the rear glass
window when you open the top.
Note: Opening the convertible top when
the top material is wet may cause mold or
mildew.
