See Forward Collision Alert (FCA)

System 0 242.

Front Automatic Braking

(FAB) System

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 brake the

22 In Brief

vehicle. This can help avoid or lessen the severity of crashes when driving in a forward gear.

See Front Automatic Braking (FAB)

System 0 244.

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) 0 248 and Lane Keep Assist (LKA) 0 248.

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 side 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) 0 245 and Lane Change Alert (LCA) 0 246.

Surround Vision

If equipped, views around the vehicle display on the center stack to aid with parking and low-speed maneuvers.

See “Surround Vision” under

Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing 0 237.

Front Vision Camera

If equipped, a view of the area in front of the vehicle displays on the center stack to aid with parking and low-speed maneuvers.

See “Front Vision Camera” under

Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing 0 237.

Rear Vision

Camera (RVC)

If equipped, RVC displays a view of the area behind the vehicle on the center stack display when the vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse) to aid with parking and low-speed backing maneuvers.

See Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing 0 237.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

your vehicle's path while in

R (Reverse). In addition, beeps will sound, or the driver seat will pulse.

See Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing 0 237.

Parking Assist

If equipped, Front and Rear Parking Assist (FRPA) uses sensors on the front and rear bumpers to assist with parking and avoiding objects during low speed parking maneuvers. It operates at speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph). FRPA may display a warning triangle on the Rear Vision Camera screen and a graphic on the instrument cluster to provide the object distance. In addition, multiple beeps or seat pulses may occur if very close to an object.

The vehicle may also have a higher speed Backing Warning System and the Rear Automatic Braking system.

See Driver Assistance Systems 0 236.

Rear Automatic Braking

(RAB) System

If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) it also has the RAB system, which is designed to help avoid or reduce the harm caused by backing crashes when the vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse). 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 0 237.

Performance and

Maintenance

Traction Control/

Electronic Stability

Control

The vehicle has a traction control system that limits wheel spin and the StabiliTrak system that assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. Both systems come on automatically when the vehicle is started and begins to move.

.To turn off traction control, press and release g on the center stack. The traction off light i displays in the instrument cluster. The appropriate Driver Information Center (DIC) message displays. See Ride Control System Messages

0 153.

.To turn off both traction control and StabiliTrak, press and

hold g until i and g illuminate

in the instrument cluster and the appropriate DIC message displays. See Ride Control System Messages 0 153.

.Press and release g again to turn on both systems.

StabiliTrak will automatically turn on if the vehicle exceeds 56 km/h

(35 mph). Traction control will remain off.

See Traction Control/Electronic

Stability Control 0 224.

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 as possible and inflate

the tires to the recommended pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label. See

Vehicle Load Limits 0 198. 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 0 308.

Engine Oil Life System

The engine oil life system calculates engine oil life based on vehicle use and displays the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message when it is time to change the engine oil and filter.

The oil life system should be reset to 100% only following an oil change.

26 In Brief

Resetting the Oil Life System

1.Using the DIC controls on the right side of the steering wheel, display OIL LIFE on the DIC. See Driver Information Center (DIC) 0 140. When remaining oil life is low, the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will appear on the display. See

Engine Oil Messages 0 149.

2.Press SEL on the DIC controls and hold SEL down for a few seconds to clear the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message and reset the oil life at 100%.

Be careful not to reset the oil life display accidentally at any time other than after the oil is changed. It cannot be reset accurately until the next oil change.

The oil life system can also be reset as follows:

1.Turn the ignition on with the engine off.

2.Fully press and release the accelerator pedal three times within five seconds.

If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message is not on, the system is reset.

See Engine Oil Life System 0 271.
