prior installation steps.
Otherwise secure the child
restraint in a rear seat.
When installing a
forward-facing child
restraint, it may be helpful
to use your knee to push
down on the child restraint
as you tighten the belt.
Try to pull the belt out of
the retractor to make sure
the retractor is locked.
If the retractor is not
locked, repeat
Steps 5 and 6.
7. Before placing a child in the child restraint, make
sure it is securely held in
place. To check, grasp the
child restraint at the seat
belt path and attempt to
move it side to side and
back and forth. When the
child restraint is properly
installed, there should be
no more than 2.5 cm (1 in)
of movement. If the airbag is off, the OFF
indicator in the passenger
airbag status indicator will
come on and stay on when the
vehicle is started.
If a child restraint has been
installed and the ON indicator
is lit, see
“If the On Indicator Is
Lit for a Child Restraint” under
Passenger Sensing System
0 78.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle seat belt
and let it return to the stowed
position.

Adaptive Cruise
Control (Advanced)
If equipped, Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) allows the
cruise control set speed and
following gap to be selected.
Read this entire section
before using this system. The
following gap is the following
time between your vehicle and
a vehicle detected directly
ahead in your path, moving in
the same direction. If no
vehicle is detected in your
path, ACC works like regular
cruise control. ACC uses
camera and radar sensors.
See Radio Frequency
Statement0477.
If a vehicle is detected in your
path, ACC can speed up the
vehicle or apply limited,
moderate braking to maintain
the selected following gap. To
disengage ACC, apply the
brake. If ACC is controlling
your vehicle speed when the
traction control system (TCS)
or StabiliTrak electronic stability control system
activates, ACC may
automatically disengage. See
Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control
0276. When
road conditions allow ACC to
be safely used, ACC can be
turned back on.
Disabling the TCS or
StabiliTrak/ESC system will
disengage and prevent
engagement of ACC.
ACC can reduce the need for
you to frequently brake and
accelerate, especially when
used on expressways,
freeways, and interstate
highways. When used on other
roads, you may need to take
over the control of braking or
acceleration more often.
{Warning
ACC has limited braking
ability and may not have
time to slow the vehicle
down enough to avoid a
collision with another vehicle
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
you are following. This can
occur when vehicles
suddenly slow or stop
ahead, or enter your lane.
Also see“Alerting the
Driver” in this section.
Complete attention is
always required while driving
and you should be ready to
take action and apply the
brakes. See Defensive
Driving 0240.
{Warning
ACC will not detect or brake
for children, pedestrians,
animals, or other objects.
Do not use ACC when:
.On winding and hilly roads
or when the sensors are
blocked by snow, ice,
or dirt. The system may

{Warning
There may be instances
where unexpected or
undesired automatic braking
occurs. If this happens,
either press the brake pedal
or firmly press the
accelerator pedal to release
the brakes from the RAB
system. Before releasing the
brakes, check the RVC and
check the area around the
vehicle to make sure it is
safe to proceed.
Unexpected braking events
are possible with a static
installed accessory, such as a
bike rack or hitch-mounted
cargo carrier.
Rear Pedestrian Alert
If equipped, and under certain
conditions, this feature can
provide alerts for a pedestrian
within the system’s range
directly behind the vehicle.
This feature only works in R (Reverse) below 12 km/h
(8 mph), and detects
pedestrians up to 8 m (26 ft)
away during daytime driving.
During nighttime driving,
feature performance is very
limited.
Rear Pedestrian Alert
Indicator
When a pedestrian is detected
within the system’s range
directly behind the vehicle, this
symbol flashes amber on the
infotainment display, along
with five beeps from the rear,
or if equipped, two pulses
from both sides of the driver
seat. When a pedestrian is
detected close to the vehicle,
the symbol flashes red on the
infotainment display, along
with ten beeps from the rear, or if equipped, seven pulses
from both sides of the
driver seat.
{Warning
Rear Pedestrian Alert does
not automatically brake the
vehicle. It also does not
provide an alert unless it
detects a pedestrian, and it
may not detect all
pedestrians if:
.The pedestrian is not
directly behind the vehicle,
fully visible to the Rear
Vision Camera (RVC),
or standing upright.
.The pedestrian is part of a
group.
.The pedestrian is a child.
.Visibility is poor, including
nighttime conditions, fog,
rain, or snow.
.The RVC is blocked by
dirt, snow, or ice.

Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA),
and the Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB) system may also
respond to pedestrians. See
Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB)0328.
The FPB system can detect
and alert to pedestrians in a
forward gear at speeds
between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). During
daytime driving, the system
detects pedestrians up to a
distance of approximately
40 m (131 ft). During nighttime
driving, system performance is
very limited. If the vehicle is
equipped with the Night Vision
system, during night time
driving, the vehicle can detect
and alert pedestrians when
driving in a forward gear.
{Warning
FPB does not provide an
alert or automatically brake
the vehicle, unless it detects (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
a pedestrian. FPB may not
detect pedestrians, including
children:
.When the pedestrian is
not directly ahead, fully
visible, or standing upright,
or when part of a group.
.Due to poor visibility,
including nighttime
conditions, fog, rain,
or snow.
.If the FPB sensor is
blocked by dirt, snow,
or ice.
.If the headlamps or
windshield are not cleaned
or in proper condition.
Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. For more
information, see Defensive
Driving 0240. Keep the
windshield, headlamps, and
FPB sensor clean and in
good repair. FPB can be set to Off, Alert,
or Alert and Brake through
vehicle settings. To view
available settings for this
feature, touch the Settings
icon on the infotainment home
page. Select
“Vehicle”to
display the list of available
options and select “Collision/
Detection Systems”.
Detecting the Pedestrian
Ahead
FPB alerts and automatic
braking will not occur unless
the FPB system detects a
pedestrian. When a nearby
pedestrian is detected in front
of the vehicle, the pedestrian
ahead indicator will display
amber.

Driving and Operating 335
System pedestrian icons,
beeps, and (if equipped) Safety
Alert Seat pulses can be set to
Off through vehicle settings
by turning off the Front
Pedestrian Braking system. To
view available settings from
the infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/
Detection Systems > Front
Pedestrian Detection.
{Warning
The Night Vision system
does not automatically brake
the vehicle. It does not
provide alerts unless it
detects a pedestrian or
large animal. The system
may not detect pedestrians,
including children, or animals:
.If they are less than 25 m
(82 ft) away.
.If they are not directly
ahead in the sensor
coverage area, fully visible,
standing upright, or part
of a group.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.If the person or animal is
moving too quickly
through the field of view,
such as a bicyclist.
.If the pedestrian is
wearing certain types of
clothing.
.If headlamps are off,
except when parked.
.If the outside temperature
is higher than 30 °C
(86 °F).
.Due to poor visibility,
including in heavy fog, rain,
or snow.
.If the sensor is blocked by
dirt, snow, rain, or ice.
Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. For more
information, see Defensive
Driving 0240. Keep the
Night Vision sensor clean
and in good repair. Pedestrian detection may not
be available in high outside
temperatures. An amber icon,
*, displays. The system does
not need service.
In rain, snow, or fog the image
may not be clear and the
direction of the road ahead
may not be seen. In more
severe weather conditions,
the image may be unclear and
unusable. The system does
not need service.
Keep the system sensor clean
by activating the rear window
washer when it is dark enough
for the system to operate.
If the Night Vision image still
looks blurry, use a soft wet
cloth to gently clean the
sensor camera lens and dry
thoroughly. The sensor is
behind the lower front grille
below the driver side
headlamp.
The camera must also be
aligned to work correctly.
