BRAKE PRECAUTIONS
Wet brakes result in reduced brakingefficiency. Gently press the brake pedal afew times when leaving a car wash or drivingfrom standing water to dry the brakes.
Note:Depending on applicable laws andregulations in the country where your vehiclewas originally built, the stoplamps could flashduring heavy braking. The hazard warningflashers could also turn on when your vehiclecomes to a stop.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEMLIMITATIONS
The anti-lock braking system does noteliminate the risk of crash when:
•You drive too closely to the vehicle infront of you.
•Your vehicle is hydroplaning.
•You take corners too fast.
•The road surface is poor.
Note: If the system activates, the brakepedal could pulse and travel further. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEMINDICATORS
This system helps you maintain steeringcontrol during emergency stops by keepingthe brakes from locking.
If the warning lamp illuminateswhen you are driving, this indicatesa malfunction. Your vehiclecontinues to have normal braking withoutthe anti-lock brake system function. Haveyour vehicle checked as soon as possible.
The warning lamp also momentarilyilluminates when you switch the ignition onto confirm the lamp is functional. If it doesnot illuminate when you switch the ignitionon, or begins to flash at any time, have thesystem checked by an authorized dealer.
The warning lamp illuminates whenyou engage the parking brake andthe ignition is on.
If it illuminates when your vehicleis moving, make sure the parkingbrake is disengaged. If the parking brake isdisengaged, this indicates low brake fluidlevel or a brake system fault. Have yourvehicle checked as soon as possible.

HOW DOES STABILITY CONTROL
WORK
WARNING: Vehicle modificationsinvolving braking system, aftermarket roofracks, suspension, steering system, tireconstruction and wheel and tire size maychange the handling characteristics of yourvehicle and may adversely affect theperformance of the electronic stabilitycontrol system. In addition, installing anystereo loudspeakers may interfere withand adversely affect the electronic stabilitycontrol system. Install any aftermarketstereo loudspeaker as far as possible fromthe front center console, the tunnel, andthe front seats in order to minimize the riskof interfering with the electronic stabilitycontrol sensors. Reducing theeffectiveness of the electronic stabilitycontrol system could lead to an increasedrisk of loss of vehicle control, vehiclerollover, personal injury and death.
WARNING: Remember that evenadvanced technology cannot defy the lawsof physics. It's always possible to losecontrol of a vehicle due to inappropriatedriver input for the conditions. Aggressivedriving on any road condition can causeyou to lose control of your vehicleincreasing the risk of personal injury orproperty damage. Activation of theelectronic stability control system is anindication that at least some of the tireshave exceeded their ability to grip theroad; this could reduce the operator'sability to control the vehicle potentiallyresulting in a loss of vehicle control, vehiclerollover, personal injury and death. If yourelectronic stability control system activates,SLOW DOWN.
If a driving condition activates either thestability control or the traction control systemyou may experience the following conditions:
•The stability and traction control lightflashes.
•Your vehicle slows down.
•Reduced engine power.
The stability control system has severalfeatures built into it to help you maintaincontrol of your vehicle:
Electronic Stability Control
Electronic stability control enhances yourvehicle’s ability to prevent skids or lateralslides by applying brakes to one or more ofthe wheels individually and, if necessary,reducing engine power.
Roll Stability Control
Roll stability control enhances your vehicle’sability to prevent rollovers by detecting yourvehicle’s roll motion and the rate at which itchanges by applying the brakes to one ormore wheels individually.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
HOW DOES ELECTRIC POWERSTEERING WORK
The electric power steering system assiststhe brake system to help operate advancedstability control and accident avoidancesystems.
If your vehicle loses electrical power ordetects a concern when you are driving thesystem switches off and you retain normalsteering function. Additionally, whenever thebattery is disconnected or a new battery isinstalled, you must drive your vehicle a shortdistance before the system relearns thestrategy and reactivates all systems.
ELECTRIC POWER STEERINGPRECAUTIONS
WARNING: The electric powersteering system has diagnostic checks thatcontinuously monitor the system. If a faultis detected, a message displays in theinformation display. Stop your vehicle assoon as it is safe to do so. Switch thevehicle off. After at least 10 seconds, switchthe vehicle on and watch the informationdisplay for a steering system warningmessage. If a steering system warningmessage returns, have the system checkedas soon as possible.
WARNING: If the system detects anerror, you may not feel a difference in thesteering, however a serious condition mayexist. Have your vehicle checked as soonas possible. Failure to do so may result inloss of steering control.
Adapt your speed and driving behavioraccording to reduced steering assist.
Extreme continuous steering may increasethe effort to steer. This occurs to preventinternal overheating and damage to thesteering system. If this occurs, you will notlose the ability to steer your vehicle manuallynor will it cause damage to the system.Normal steering and driving allows thesystem to cool down and steering assistreturns to normal.
Note:There is no fluid reservoir to check orfill.

EXCITE
For sporty on-road driving. This modeincreases throttle response, provides asportier exhaust sound and steering feel,along with quicker shifting. The suspensioncould stiffen, with an emphasis on handlingand control. The transmission also holdsgears longer, helping your vehicle acceleratefaster when shifting gears.
Note:Sportier exhaust sound may not beavailable depending on vehicleconfiguration.
NORMAL
For everyday driving. This mode is a perfectbalance of excitement, comfort andconvenience. This is the default mode aftereach ignition cycle.
PRESERVE EV - PLUG-IN HYBRIDELECTRIC VEHICLE (PHEV)
Your vehicle runs the engine as needed tosave electric driving range for later use inanother drive mode. For example, you firstdrive at high speeds on open roads whereengine operation is appropriate. Later, youdrive at low speeds in an urban area whereelectric only is most efficient.
If the battery charge is low when you selectthis mode, the engine begins to charge thehigh voltage battery to provide some electricrange for later.
PURE EV - PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRICVEHICLE (PHEV)
This mode can provide an electric onlydriving experience. Your vehicle couldaccelerate slower, and the top speed couldbe reduced. For more power, fully press theaccelerator pedal to temporarily engage theengine.
Your vehicle could enable the engine ifsystem conditions require it. An engineenabled message displays if this occurs.
The engine could enable if the climatecontrol is in a defrost mode and the outsidetemperature is cold. If the vehicle does notneed defrost, select a different climatecontrol mode to permit pure EV.
Your vehicle changes from pure EV mode tonormal mode when the vehicle electric rangeis zero.
Note:When in pure EV mode, your vehiclestays in this mode if there is all electricdriving range available and the system doesnot fault.
SLIPPERY
For less than ideal road conditions, such assnow or ice covered roads. Slippery modeinspires confidence without taking away fromdriving pleasure. Slippery mode lowersthrottle response and optimizes shifting forslippery surfaces.
Note:Using slippery mode on dry hardsurfaces could produce some vibration,driveline bind up, and potential excessivetire wear as the intent of this mode is forslippery and loose surfaces.
