DIESEL ENGINE EXHAUST
BRAKE – PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not use tow/haulwhen the road surface is slippery. Failureto follow this instruction could result inthe loss of control of your vehicle.
WARNING: Do not use dieselengine exhaust braking when the roadsurface is slippery. Failure to follow thisinstruction could result in the loss ofcontrol of your vehicle.
USING THE DIESEL ENGINE
EXHAUST BRAKE
This feature increases engine braking athigher engine speeds to provide bettergrade descent control with less brake andtransmission wear and tear.
Note:Use this when driving downhill andcarrying heavy loads or trailering.
Benefits of engine braking are:
•Lower brake temperature.
•Reduced brake fade.
•Longer brake life.
•Improved driving and trailering control.
Press the button on the switchbank next to the audio unit toswitch the system on or off.
There are two engine brake modes, manualand automatic.
The following conditions must be met touse exhaust brake:
•Your vehicle is in a forward gear.
•The engine speed is above 1300 RPM.
•Your foot is off the accelerator.
You can use this feature with tow/haul orprogressive range selection to providefurther increased engine braking. Thetransmission upshifts to prevent the enginefrom entering the red zone on thetachometer.
Manual Engine Braking
1.Press the button to switch on manualengine braking.
2.Release the accelerator pedal tomaximize engine braking.
3.Apply the brakes. The transmissiondownshifts to lower gears.
Note:The engine braking feature onlyfunctions when you release the accelerator.
Note:You can shift the transmission tolower gears with progressive range selectionor manual shifting independent of pressingthe brakes.
Note:You can also use manual enginebraking with cruise control to improve gradedescent control.
Note:If your vehicle has adaptive cruisecontrol, the speed control system uses theselected engine brake mode, transmissiongears, and brakes to maintain the set speedand distance to the vehicle being followed.
Automatic Engine Braking
1.Press the button twice to switch onautomatic engine braking.
2.Release the accelerator or brake pedal.The system remembers your vehiclespeed.

WHAT IS TRACTION CONTROL
The traction control system helps to avoiddrive wheel spin and loss of traction.
HOW DOES TRACTION
CONTROL WORK
If your wheels begin to spin, the loss oftraction can compromise steering controland stability of the vehicle. The tractioncontrol system applies the brakes toindividual wheels and when needed,reduces engine power at the same time toincrease traction.
SWITCHING TRACTION
CONTROL ON AND OFF
WARNING: Operating your vehiclewith the traction control disabled couldlead to an increased risk of loss of vehiclecontrol, vehicle rollover, personal injuryand death.
The traction control system turns on eachtime you switch the ignition on.
The button for the stability and tractioncontrol system is on the instrument panel.
Press and release the button to switchtraction control off. The stability controlsystem remains fully active, to switch it off,press and hold the button for a fewseconds, then release.
When you switch traction control off, amessage and an illuminated icon appearon the instrument cluster.
Press the switch again to turn the tractioncontrol system back on to normaloperation.
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow,switching traction control off may bebeneficial as this allows the wheels to spin.

WHAT IS CRUISE CONTROL
Cruise control lets you maintain a setspeed without keeping your foot on theaccelerator pedal.
Requirements
Use cruise control when the vehicle speedis greater than 20 km/h in metric units or15 mph in imperial units.
SWITCHING CRUISE CONTROL
ON AND OFF
WARNING: Do not use cruisecontrol on winding roads, in heavy trafficor when the road surface is slippery. Thiscould result in loss of vehicle control,serious injury or death.
The cruise controls are on the steeringwheel.
Switching Cruise Control On
Press the button to activate thesystem. When the systemactivates, the set speed is equalto the current vehicle speed or 20 km/h (15mph), whichever is greater. If the speed istoo low, or other conditions are not correctfor cruise control activation, the systementers standby mode.
Switching Cruise Control Off
Press the button when thesystem is active or switch theignition off.
Note:When you switch cruise control off,the set speed clears.
SETTING THE CRUISE
CONTROL SPEED
WARNING: When you are goingdownhill, your vehicle speed couldincrease above the set speed. Thesystem does not apply the brakes.
Drive to the speed you prefer.
Press either the SET+ or SET-buttons to set the current speed.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Note:The indicator changes color in theinformation display.
Changing the Set Speed
Press the SET+ button toincrease the set speed in smallincrements. Press and hold theSET+ button to accelerate. Release thebutton when you have reached yourpreferred speed.
Press the SET- button todecrease the set speed in smallincrements. Press and hold theSET- button to decelerate. Release thebutton when you have reached yourpreferred speed.

Note:An audible alarm sounds and thesystem shuts down if it applies brakes foran extended period of time. This allows thebrakes to cool. The system functionsnormally again after the brakes cool.
Note:When towing with adaptive cruisecontrol, switch on Tow/Haul Mode andDiesel Engine Brake.
Note:Tow/Haul mode increases the timegaps and allows more distance for braking.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
LIMITATIONS
Sensor Limitations
WARNING: On rare occasions,detection issues can occur due to theroad infrastructures, for example bridges,tunnels and safety barriers. In thesecases, the system may brake late orunexpectedly. At all times, you areresponsible for controlling your vehicle,supervising the system and intervening,if required.
WARNING: If the systemmalfunctions, have your vehicle checkedas soon as possible.
WARNING: Large contrasts inoutside lighting can limit sensorperformance.
WARNING: The system only warnsof vehicles detected by the radar sensor.In some cases there may be no warningor a delayed warning. Apply the brakeswhen necessary. Failure to follow thisinstruction could result in personal injuryor death.
WARNING: The system may notdetect stationary or slow movingvehicles below 6 mph (10 km/h).
WARNING: The system does notdetect pedestrians or objects in the road.
WARNING: The system does notdetect oncoming vehicles in the samelane.
WARNING: The system may notoperate properly if the sensor is blocked.Keep the windshield free fromobstruction.
WARNING: The sensor mayincorrectly track lane markings as otherstructures or objects. This can result ina false or missed warning.

Optimal system performance requires aclear view of the road by the windshieldcamera.
Optimal performance may not occur if:
•The camera is blocked.
•There is poor visibility or lightingconditions.
•There are bad weather conditions.
SWITCHING ADAPTIVE
CRUISE CONTROL ON AND OFF
The cruise controls are on the steeringwheel.
Switching Adaptive Cruise ControlOn
Press the button to activate thesystem. When the systemactivates, the set speed is equalto whichever is greater, the current vehiclespeed, or 15 mph when in imperial units or20 km/h when in metric units. If the speedis too low, or other conditions are notcorrect for adaptive cruise controlactivation, the system enters standbymode. When you are below 15 mph whenin imperial units or 20 km/h when in metricunits, adaptive cruise control does notactivate unless you are following anothervehicle.
The indicator, current gap setting and setspeed appear in the instrument clusterdisplay.
Switching Adaptive Cruise ControlOff
Press the button when thesystem is in standby mode orswitch the ignition off.
Note:When you switch the system off, theset speed clears.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
AUTOMATIC CANCELLATION
The system may cancel if:
•The tires lose traction.
•You apply the parking brake.
The system may cancel and set the parkingbrake if:
•You unbuckle the seatbelt and openthe driver door after adaptive cruisecontrol stops your vehicle.
•Adaptive cruise control holds yourvehicle at a stop continuously for morethan three minutes.
The system may deactivate or preventactivating when requested if:
•The vehicle has a blocked sensor.
•The brake temperature is too high.
•There is a failure in the system or arelated system.
