previously mentioned, the display will show the
indications corresponding to each tire.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should
be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. If your vehicle has tires of
a different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a TPMS that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly underinflated. Accordingly, when the
low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation
CAUTION!
Do not continue driving with one or more flat
tires as handling may be compromised. Stop the
vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering. If a
tire puncture occurs, repair immediately using
the dedicated tire repair kit and contact an

emissions, engine, and transmission control
systems. When these systems are operating
properly, your vehicle will provide excellent
performance and fuel economy, as well as engine
emissions well within current government
regulations.
If any of these systems require service, the OBD II
system will turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL). It will also store diagnostic codes and other
information to assist your service technician in
making repairs. Although your vehicle will usually
be driveable and not need towing, see an
authorized dealer for service as soon as possible.
ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
(OBD II) C
YBERSECURITY
Your vehicle is required to have OBD II and a
connection port to allow access to information
related to the performance of your emissions
controls. Authorized service technicians may need
to access this information to assist with the
diagnosis and service of your vehicle and
emissions system Ú page 203.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause
further damage to the emission control
system. It could also affect fuel economy and
driveability. The vehicle must be serviced
before any emissions tests can be performed.
If the MIL is flashing while the vehicle is
running, severe catalytic converter damage
and power loss will soon occur. Immediate
service is required.3

NIGHT VISION CAMERA SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Night Vision
Camera system which uses an infrared camera to
view the area ahead of the vehicle, beyond the
headlights, to detect people and large animals
when it is dark outside.
The system detects pedestrians or large animals
by measuring the temperature difference between
the object and the surrounding area.
The thermal objects detected by the camera can
be displayed in the instrument cluster display.
Scroll to the Night Vision page in the instrument
cluster display menu Ú page 103 to display the
Night Vision screen.

178STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:
Night Vision only shows objects of interest that
are warmer or colder than the surroundings.
Adjust the instrument cluster dimmer control
brightness to make the image appear brighter
or dimmer.
To exit out of the Night Vision screen, select a
different menu in the instrument cluster display.
A yellow or red border and box highlight will appear
around objects of interest. More than one object of
interest may be highlighted.

Highlight Around Objects Of Interest

The highlighting of the object(s) of interest will
update in real time based upon the current Night
Vision assessment.
The two categories of Night Vision warnings are
Pedestrian Warnings and Animal Warnings. A Pedestrian or Animal Warning is considered
either Level 1 or Level 2. Level 1 warnings are
yellow, and Level 2 warnings are red. The colors
are not configurable.
Level 1 Warnings:
Yellow telltale in the instrument cluster display
Yellow highlights around the detected pedes
-
trian/animal
Occurs when the vehicle is moving at speeds
greater than 8 mph (13 km/h) and the target is
in or approaching the vehicle path
Level 2 Warnings:
Red telltale in the instrument cluster display
Red highlights around the detected pedestrian/
animal
Occurs when the vehicle is moving at speeds
greater than 8 mph (13 km/h) and a collision
with the detected pedestrian/animal is possible
The pedestrian/animal is directly in the vehicle
path, close to the headlight area
A video pop-up will display when there is a target
detected and the instrument cluster display is
not showing the Night Vision page
A chime will sound for a Level 2 Warning detec-
tion event
Only one telltale can be displayed at a time based
upon priority.
The priority order of the warnings from highest to
lowest is:

1. Pedestrian Warning Level 2

2. Animal Warning Level 2
3. Pedestrian Warning Level 1
4. Animal Warning Level 1
Level 2 Warnings may display in the Head Up
Display (if equipped).
NOTE:If the vehicle is stopped, or slowing down, all Level
2 warnings become Level 1 warnings.
You can enable or disable the warnings within the
Uconnect system Ú page 204.
If the warnings are off, the telltales, chimes, and
warning messages will all be off. Pedestrians and
animals can still be detected by the system, but
there will be no warnings.

STARTING AND OPERATING179
(Continued)
The Night Vision alert status telltale will
be gray when the warnings are
suppressed. The telltale will also turn
gray to indicate that the alerts are
suppressed due to environmental factors (e.g.
daylight hours, external temperature is greater
than 86°F (30°C)) or if the gear selector is in
REVERSE. When the Night Vision alerts are active,
the telltale will be green Ú page 108.
Camera Washers
When the front window washer is activated, the
Night Vision camera will also be washed
Ú page 64.
DETECTION RANGE
The system can detect people 4 ft (1.25 m) tall or
greater in the upright position. The system can also
detect animals that are four-legged and 3 ft (1 m)
tall or greater in the upright position.
The detection distance for the system is between
26 ft (8 m) and 328 ft (100 m) from the front of the
vehicle.
The system may not be able to detect pedestrians
or animals in the following situations:
Pedestrian/animal is outside of the detection
range
Pedestrian/animal is fully or partially covered
Pedestrian/animal does not reach the minimum
detection height
NOTE:Other objects on the road that meet the height/
shape/temperature (e.g. sun exposure) of pedes -
trians/animals may be detected and classified as
targets.
WARNING!
Do not jerk the steering wheel in response to
a warning.
Never attempt to swerve around animals if
doing so would endanger you or others.
Do not stare at the image while driving. You
could crash and you or others could be
injured.
The Night Vision system only provides alerts to
objects of interest and cannot serve as a
substitute for the driver’s personal judgment.
The warnings are meant to direct your atten-
tion to the detected objects, but the Night
Vision system does not automatically brake
the vehicle and may not provide a warning
with enough time to help avoid a crash.
Warnings are only provided if a pedestrian or
large animal is detected by the system.
It is always the driver’s responsibility to be
attentive of road, traffic, and weather condi -
tions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle
ahead, and most importantly, brake opera -
tion, to ensure safe operation of the vehicle
under all road conditions. Your complete
attention is always required while driving to
maintain safe control of your vehicle.
