Forward Collision Alert
(FCA) System
If equipped, FCA may help avoid or reduce the harm caused by front-end crashes. FCA provides a green
indicator, V, when a vehicle is detected ahead. This indicator displays amber when following a vehicle much too closely. When approaching a vehicle ahead too quickly, FCA provides a flashing red alert on the windshield and rapidly beeps or pulses the driver seat.
See Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System 0 234.
Forward Automatic
Braking (FAB)
If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), it also has FAB, which includes Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA). When the system detects a vehicle ahead in your path that is traveling in the same direction that you may be about to crash into, it can provide a boost to braking or automatically
IN BRIEF |
21 |
brake the vehicle. This can help avoid or lessen the severity of crashes when driving in a forward gear.
See Forward Automatic Braking (FAB) 0 237.
Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
If equipped, LKA may help avoid crashes due to unintentional lane departures. It may assist by gently turning the steering wheel if the vehicle approaches a detected lane marking without using a turn signal in that direction. It may also provide a Lane Departure Warning (LDW) alert as the lane marking is crossed. The system will not assist or alert if it detects that you are actively steering. Override LKA by turning the steering wheel. LKA uses a camera to detect lane markings between 60 km/h (37 mph) and 180 km/h (112 mph).
See Lane Departure Warning (LDW) 0 240 and Lane Keep Assist (LKA) 0 240.
Lane Change Alert (LCA)
If equipped, the LCA system is a lane-changing aid that assists drivers with avoiding lane change crashes that occur with moving vehicles in the side blind zone (or spot) areas or with vehicles rapidly approaching these areas from behind. The LCA warning display will light up in the corresponding outside mirror and will flash if the turn signal is on. The Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) system is included as part of the LCA system.
See Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) 0 238 and Lane Change Alert (LCA) 0 238.

If the system detects the vehicle is backing too fast to avoid a crash with a detected object behind your vehicle in your path, it may automatically brake hard to
a stop.
See Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing 0 227.
Vehicle-to-Vehicle
If equipped, this technology communicates with other Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V)-equipped vehicles. It can help drivers avoid crashes and traffic congestion. V2V technology alerts when other V2V-equipped vehicles ahead are braking hard, are disabled, or may be on slippery roads. See
Vehicle-to-Vehicle 0 242.

Control 0 207.
The vehicle has Driver Mode Control and may have Competitive Driving Mode. See Driver Mode Control 0 209 and Competitive Driving Mode (V-Sport Only) 0 212.
Tire Pressure Monitor
This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
The low tire pressure warning light alerts to a significant loss in pressure of one of the vehicle's tires. If the warning light comes on, stop as soon
IN BRIEF |

as possible and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label.
See Vehicle Load Limits 0 189. The warning light will remain on until the tire pressure is corrected.
The low tire pressure warning light may come on in cool weather when the vehicle is first started, and then turn off as the vehicle is driven. This may be an early indicator that the tire pressures are getting low and the tires need to be inflated to the proper pressure.
The TPMS does not replace normal monthly tire maintenance. Maintain the correct tire pressures.
See Tire Pressure Monitor System 0 309.
Fuel (LGX 3.6L V6 Engine)
Regular Unleaded Fuel
Use only Regular 87 octane — (R+M)/2 — or higher unleaded gasoline in your vehicle. TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is recommended. Do not use gasoline with an octane rating lower as it will result in reduced performance and lower fuel economy. See Recommended Fuel (LGX 3.6L
V6 Engine) 0 245 or Recommended Fuel (LTG 2.0L L4 Engine) 0 245 or Recommended Fuel (LF3 3.6L V6 Twin Turbo and LT4 6.2L V8 Engines) 0 245.
Fuel (LTG 2.0L L4 Engine)
Premium Recommended
Use premium 93 octane — (R+M)/2 — unleaded gasoline in your vehicle. TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is recommended. Unleaded gasoline with an octane rating as low as 87 may be used, but it will reduce performance and fuel economy. See Recommended Fuel (LGX 3.6L V6 Engine) 0 245 or Recommended Fuel (LTG 2.0L L4 Engine) 0 245 or Recommended Fuel (LF3 3.6L V6 Twin Turbo and LT4 6.2L V8 Engines) 0 245.

Car Wash Guidelines
Caution
Some automatic car washes can cause damage to the vehicle, wheels and ground effects. Automatic car washes are not recommended, due to lack of clearance for the undercarriage and/or wide rear tires and wheels. See "Washing the Vehicle" under Exterior Care 0 335.
Driving for Better Fuel Economy
Driving habits can affect fuel mileage. Here are some driving tips to get the best fuel economy possible:
.Set the climate controls to the desired temperature after the engine is started, or turn them off when not required.
.Avoid fast starts and accelerate smoothly.
.Brake gradually and avoid abrupt stops.
.Avoid idling the engine for long periods of time.
.When road and weather conditions are appropriate, use cruise control.
.Always follow posted speed limits or drive more slowly when conditions require.
.Keep vehicle tires properly inflated.
.Combine several trips into a single trip.
.Replace the vehicle's tires with the same TPC Spec number molded into the tire's sidewall near
the size.
.Follow recommended scheduled maintenance.
