42GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Rear Courtesy/Reading Lights —
If Equipped
Located above the rear passengers are courtesy/reading
lights. The lights turn on when a front door, a sliding door
or the liftgate is opened. If your vehicle is equipped with
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) the lights will also turn on
when the unlock button on the key fob is pushed.
The courtesy lights also function as reading lights. Push
the lens to turn these lights on while inside the vehicle.
Push the lens a second time to turn each light off.
Dimmer Controls
The dimmer controls are part of the headlight switch, and
are located on the driver’s side of the instrument panel.
With the parking lights or headlights on, rotating the right
dimmer control upward will increase the brightness of the
instrument cluster lights. Rotating the left dimmer control
will adjust the interior light levels of the ambient lighting
on the instrument panel and doors.
Dimmer Controls
Dimmer Controls (Vehicles Sold In Canada Only)
At the top detent of the instrument panel dimmer, all the
interior lights will illuminate. At the bottom most setting
(extreme bottom) interior lights are turned off (dome off),
and the cluster, radio and instrument lighting go to their
lowest dimmable setting.
WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer controls are located on the
right side of the steering column. The front wipers are
operated by rotating a switch, located on the end of the
lever.
WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION
The wipers and washers are operated by a switch within
the wiper lever. Rotate the switch at the end of the lever
upward, to the first detent past the intermittent settings
for low-speed wiper operation. Rotate the switch at the
end of the lever upward to the second detent past the
intermittent settings for high-speed wiper operation.
To turn the windshield wipers off, rotate the switch within
the lever all the way down to OFF.

Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the instrument cluster
displays:
FCW Unavailable Service Required
Cruise/FCW Unavailable Service Required
This indicates there is an internal system fault. Although
the vehicle is still drivable under normal conditions, have
the system checked by an authorized dealer.
Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) —
If Equipped
The Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) is a subsystem
of the FCW system that provides the driver with audible
and visual warnings in the instrument cluster display, and
may apply automatic braking when it detects a potential
frontal collision with a pedestrian/cyclist.
If a PEB event begins at a speed below 37 mph (60 km/h),
the system may provide braking to mitigate the potential
collision with a pedestrian/cyclist. If the PEB event stops
the vehicle completely, the system will hold the vehicle at
a standstill for two seconds and then release the brakes.
When the system determines a collision with the
pedestrian in front of you is no longer probable, the
warning message will be deactivated.
The minimum speed for PEB activation is 3 mph (5 km/h). Turning PEB On Or Off
NOTE:
The default status of PEB is “On.” This allows the system to
warn you of a possible frontal collision with the pedestrian.
The PEB button is located in the Uconnect display in the
Controls settings
Úpage 105.
To turn the PEB system off, push the Pedestrian
Emergency Braking OFF button.
To turn the PEB system back on, push the Warning Active
Braking button.
Changing the PEB status to “Off” deactivates the system,
so no warning or active braking will be available in case of
a possible frontal collision with the pedestrian.
NOTE:The PEB system will NOT retain the last setting selected by
the driver after ignition shut down. The system will reset to
the default setting when the vehicle is restarted.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
S
YSTEM (TPMS)
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will warn
the driver of a low tire pressure based on the vehicle
recommended cold placard pressure.
NOTE:
The TPMS Warning Light will illuminate in the instrument
cluster and a chime will sound when tire pressure is low in one
or more of the four active road tires. In addition, the instrument
cluster will display a graphic showing the pressure values of
each tire with the low tire pressure values in a different color,
or the Uconnect radio will display a TPMS message. When this
occurs you must increase the tire pressure to the recom -
mended cold placard pressure in order for the TPMS Warning
Light to turn off.
The tire pressure will vary with temperature by
approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This
means that when the outside temperature decreases, the
tire pressure will decrease. Tire pressure should always be
set based on cold inflation tire pressure. This is defined as
the tire pressure after the vehicle has not been driven for
at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km)
after a three hour period. The cold tire inflation pressure
must not exceed the maximum inflation pressure molded
into the tire sidewall. The tire pressure will also increase
as the vehicle is driven. This is normal and there should be
no adjustment for this increased pressure.
See
Úpage 224 for information on how to properly inflate
the vehicle’s tires.
WARNING!
Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) is not intended to
avoid a collision on its own, nor can PEB detect every
type of potential collision with a pedestrian. The driver
has the responsibility to avoid a collision by controlling
the vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to follow
this warning could lead to serious injury or death.
