ACCELERATION DRIVE
WITH CARE
This message displays when
the vehicle's propulsion power
is reduced. A reduction in
propulsion power can affect
the vehicle's ability to
accelerate. If this message is
on, but there is no observed
reduction in performance,
proceed to your destination.
Under certain conditions the
performance may be reduced
the next time the vehicle is
driven. The vehicle may be
driven while this message is
on, but maximum acceleration
and speed may be reduced.
Anytime this message stays
on, or displays repeatedly, the
vehicle should be taken to
your dealer for service as
soon as possible.Under certain operating
conditions, propulsion will be
disabled. Try restarting after
the ignition has been off for
two minutes.

Battery Load
Management
The vehicle has Electric Power
Management (EPM), which
estimates the battery's
temperature and state of
charge. It then adjusts the
voltage for best performance
and extended life of the
battery.
When the battery's state of
charge is low, the voltage is
raised slightly to quickly bring
the charge back up. When thestate of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to
prevent overcharging. If the
vehicle has a voltmeter gauge
or a voltage display on the
Driver Information Center
(DIC), you may see the voltage
move up or down. This is
normal. If there is a problem,
an alert will be displayed.
The battery can be discharged
at idle if the electrical loads
are very high. This is true for
all vehicles. This is because
the generator (alternator) may
not be spinning fast enough at
idle to produce all the power
that is needed for very high
electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs
when several of the following
are on, such as: headlamps,
high beams, fog lamps, rear
window defogger, climate
control fan at high speed,
heated seats, engine cooling
fans, and loads plugged into
accessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent
excessive discharge of the
battery. It does this by
balancing the generator's
output and the vehicle's
electrical needs. It can
increase engine idle speed to
generate more power,
whenever needed. It can
temporarily reduce the power
demands of some accessories.
Normally, these actions occur
in steps or levels, without
being noticeable. In rare cases
at the highest levels of
corrective action, this action
may be noticeable to the
driver. If so, a DIC message
might be displayed. If a battery
message is displayed, it is
recommended that the driver
reduce the electrical loads as
much as possible. See Driver
Information Center (DIC) (Base
Level)
0136 or
Driver Information Center
(DIC) (Uplevel) 0139.

162 Infotainment System
Introduction
Read the following pages to
become familiar with the
features.
{Warning
Taking your eyes off the
road for too long or too
often while using any
infotainment feature can
cause a crash. You or others
could be injured or killed. Do
not give extended attention
to infotainment tasks while
driving. Limit your glances at
the vehicle displays and
focus your attention on
driving. Use voice commands
whenever possible.
The infotainment system has
built-in features intended to
help avoid distraction by
disabling some features when
driving. These features may
gray out when they are
unavailable. Many infotainment features are also available
through the instrument cluster
and steering wheel controls.
Before driving:
.Become familiar with the
operation, center stack
controls, steering wheel
controls, and infotainment
display.
.Set up the audio by
presetting favorite stations,
setting the tone, and
adjusting the speakers.
.Set up phone numbers in
advance so they can be
called easily by pressing a
single control or by using a
single voice command.
See Distracted Driving 0242.
Active Noise
Cancellation (ANC)
If equipped, ANC reduces
engine noise in the vehicle’s
interior. ANC requires the
factory-installed audio system,
radio, speakers, amplifier (if
equipped), induction system,
and exhaust system to work properly. Deactivation is
required by your dealer if
related aftermarket equipment
is installed.
