GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

KEYS

KEY FOB

Your vehicle is equipped with a key fob which supports Passive Entry, Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ (if equipped), Remote Start (if equipped), and remote trunk operation. The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the doors and trunk from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m). The key fob does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the system. The key fob also contains an emergency key, which is stored in the rear of the key fob.

NOTE:

 The key fob’s wireless signal may be blocked if

the key fob is located next to a mobile phone, laptop, or other electronic device. This may result in poor performance.

 With ignition in the ON position and the vehicle

moving at 2 mph (4 km/h), all RKE commands are disabled.

Key Fob

1 — Unlock 2 — Trunk Open 3 — Lock 4 — Remote Start (If Equipped) 5 — PANIC Button 6 — Emergency Key

NOTE:

In case the ignition switch does not change with the push of a button, the key fob may have a low or fully depleted battery. A low key fob battery can be verified by referring to the instrument cluster, which will display directions to follow Ú page 310.

To Lock/Unlock The Doors And Trunk

Push and release the unlock button on the key fob once to unlock the driver's door or twice within five seconds to unlock all doors. Push and release the lock button on the key fob to lock all doors.

All doors can be programmed to unlock on the first push of the unlock button through Uconnect Settings Ú page 121.

When the doors are unlocked, the turn signals will flash and the illuminated entry system will be activated. When the doors are locked, the turn signals will flash and the horn will chirp. This setting can be adjusted in the Uconnect system Ú page 121.

14 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:

 If the vehicle is unlocked with the key fob, and

no door is opened within 60 seconds, the vehicle will relock and the Vehicle Security system (if equipped) will arm.

 If one or more doors are open, or the trunk is

open, the doors will lock. The doors will unlock again automatically if the key fob is left inside the passenger compartment, otherwise the doors will stay locked.

NOTE:

When you use the key fob to open any door, the courtesy lights, overhead lights, and approach lighting in the outside mirrors (if equipped) will turn on.

Key Left Vehicle Feature

If a valid key fob is no longer detected inside the vehicle while the vehicle’s ignition system is in the ON/RUN or START position, the message “Key Fob Has Left The Vehicle” will be shown in the instrument cluster display along with an interior chime. An exterior audible and visual alert will also be activated to warn the driver.

The vehicle’s horn will rapidly chirp three times along with a single flash of the vehicle’s exterior lights.

NOTE:

 The doors have to be open and then closed in

order for the vehicle to check for the presence of a key fob; the Key Left Vehicle feature will not activate until all of the doors are closed.

 These alerts will not be activated in situations

where the vehicle’s engine is left running with the key fob inside.

To Unlatch The Trunk

Push the trunk button on the key fob two times within five seconds to unlatch the trunk.

Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob

The recommended replacement battery is one CR2032 battery.

NOTE:

 Customers are recommended to use a battery

obtained from Mopar®. Aftermarket coin battery dimensions may not meet the original OEM coin battery dimensions.

 Perchlorate Material — special handling may

apply. See

 Do not touch the battery terminals that are on

the back housing or the printed circuit board.

1. Remove the emergency key (2) by sliding the emergency key release (1) on the back of the key fob and pulling the emergency key out with your other hand.

Programming And Requesting Additional Key Fobs

Programming the key fob may be performed by an authorized dealer.

NOTE:

 Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it

cannot be repurposed and reprogrammed to another vehicle.

 Only key fobs that are programmed to the

vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle. Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed to any other vehicle.

WARNING!

 Always remove the key fobs from the vehicle

and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.

 For vehicles equipped with Keyless

Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition, always remember to place the ignition in the OFF position.

Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an authorized dealer. This procedure consists of programming a blank key fob to the vehicle electronics. A blank key fob is one that has never been programmed.

NOTE:

 When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer system

serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized dealer.

 Keys must be ordered to the correct key cut to

match the vehicle locks.

SENTRY KEY

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The system does not need to be armed or activated. Operation is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.

The system uses a key fob, keyless push button ignition and a Radio Frequency (RF) receiver to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs that are programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle. The system cannot reprogram a key fob obtained from another vehicle.

After placing the ignition in the ON/RUN position, the Vehicle Security Light will turn on for three seconds for a bulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb check, it indicates that there is a problem with the electronics. In addition, if the light begins to flash after the bulb check, it indicates that someone attempted to start the engine with

an invalid key fob. In the event that a valid key fob is used to start the engine but there is an issue with the vehicle electronics, the engine will start and shut off after two seconds.

If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than 10 seconds), it indicates that there is a fault in the electronics. Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible by an authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not compatible with some aftermarket Remote Start systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and loss of security protection.

All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electronics Ú page 310.

NOTE:

A key fob that has not been programmed is also considered an invalid key.

VEHICLES W ITHOUT PASSENGER

EATING INSTALLED

All passenger occupants within the vehicle must be in a seat equipped with a Seat Belt System and Head Restraint for the safety of the passenger. If the passenger and/or rear seats have been removed, do not ride in those areas.

This vehicle has been designed to maximize total performance. In doing so, the deletion of passenger seats and/or rear seat may affect the Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) characteristics. As a result, the interior will be louder overall.

WARNING!

 If the passenger and/or rear seats have been

removed, do not ride in those areas. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.

 If this vehicle was not factory equipped with a

passenger seat, NEVER attempt to install a passenger seat because the safety systems, including the air bags and seat belt, may not properly protect you.

 It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside

or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in this area are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.

 Only ride in available seating positions

equipped with seat belt systems. Always properly wear your seat belt. Failure to do so could result in an increased risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident.

(Continued)

WARNING!

 Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat

and using a seat belt properly. Occupants, including the driver, should always wear their seat belts whether or not an air bag is also provided at their seating positions to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash.

 All occupants, including the driver, should not

operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat if the head restraints are not in place of their proper positions in order to minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a crash.

 Head restraints should never be adjusted

while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head restraints improperly adjusted or removed could cause serious injury or death in the event of a collision.

PASSENGER SEAT EASY ENTRY

On the passenger seat, pull forward on the lever located on the side of the seatback in order to dump the seatback and slide the seat forward. You can also temporarily remove the seat belt from the guide loop on the seat and allow the seat belt to retract out of the way. This allows for easier access to the rear seat.

36 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

To return the seat to a normal seating position, first return the seatback to its original recline location and then slide the entire seatback to the preset lock position.

Easy Entry Lever

NOTE:

 The front passenger seat needs to slide back to

a preset position for the fore/aft adjuster to be properly locked. For example, if the front passenger has the seat adjusted full rear and exits the vehicle to let a rear passenger enter using the easy entry handle, the fore/aft adjuster needs to slide back about 2/3 of the way rearward to hit the lock position. If the adjuster is not returned to this preset position, the seat will appear to be loose.

 If the front passenger uses the easy entry

handle and then lifts up the recliner handle without moving the seatback to its original preset position, the recliner will not lock until it is moved to the full recline position.

Driver’s Side Easy Entry

The easy entry lever on the outboard side of the driver’s seatback will dump the seatback forward to allow for easier access to the rear seats. The seat bottom will not slide forward as the passenger side easy entry will. If needed, use the driver’s side seat control to slide forward.

To return the seat to the normal position, push the seatback up and it will lock into the previously set recline position. Then if needed, use the seat control to adjust the forward/rearward position.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head movement in the event of a rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top of the head restraint is located above the top of your ear.

WARNING!

 All occupants, including the driver, should not

operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the head restraints are placed in their proper positions in order to minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a crash.

 Head restraints should never be adjusted

while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head restraints improperly adjusted or removed could cause serious injury or death in the event of a collision.

NOTE:

Do not reverse the head restraints (making the rear of the head restraint face forward) in an attempt to gain additional clearance to the back of your head.

BATTERY SAVER ON/BATTERY SAVER

ODE MESSAGE — ELECTRICAL LOAD

EDUCTION ACTIONS — IF EQUIPPED

This vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) to perform additional monitoring of the electrical system and status of the vehicle battery.

In cases when the IBS detects charging system failure, or the vehicle battery conditions are deteriorating, electrical load reduction actions will take place to extend the driving time and distance of the vehicle. This is done by reducing power to or turning off non-essential electrical loads.

Load reduction is only active when the engine is running. It will display a message if there is a risk of battery depletion to the point where the vehicle

may stall due to lack of electrical supply, or will not restart after the current drive cycle.

When load reduction is activated, the message “Battery Saver On” or “Battery Saver Mode” will appear in the instrument cluster.

These messages indicate the vehicle battery has a low state of charge and continues to lose electrical charge at a rate that the charging system cannot sustain.

NOTE:

 The charging system is independent from load

reduction. The charging system performs a diagnostic on the charging system continuously.

 If the Battery Charge Warning Light is on it may

indicate a problem with the charging system Ú page 72.

The electrical loads that may be switched off (if equipped), and vehicle functions which can be affected by load reduction:

 Heated Seat/Vented Seats/Heated Wheel

 Heated/Cooled Cup Holders — If Equipped

 Rear Defroster And Heated Mirrors

 HVAC System

 115 Volts AC Power Inverter System

 Audio and Telematics System

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 71

Loss of the battery charge may indicate one or more of the following conditions:

 The charging system cannot deliver enough

electrical power to the vehicle system because the electrical loads are larger than the capability of the charging system. The charging system is still functioning properly.

 Turning on all possible vehicle electrical loads

(e.g. HVAC to max settings, exterior and interior lights, overloaded power outlets +12 Volts, 115 Volts AC, USB ports) during certain driving conditions (city driving, towing, frequent stopping).

 Installing options like additional lights, upfitter

electrical accessories, audio systems, alarms and similar devices.

 Unusual driving cycles (short trips separated by

long parking periods).

 The vehicle was parked for an extended period

of time (weeks, months).

 The battery was recently replaced and was not

charged completely.

 The battery was discharged by an electrical load

left on when the vehicle was parked.

 The battery was used for an extended period

with the engine not running to supply radio, lights, chargers, +12 Volts portable appliances like vacuum cleaners, game consoles and similar devices.

What to do when an electrical load reduction action message is present (“Battery Saver On” or “Battery Saver Mode”)

During a trip:

 Reduce power to unnecessary loads if possible:

 Turn off redundant lights (interior or

exterior)

 Check what may be plugged in to power

outlets +12 Volts, 115 Volts AC, USB ports

 Check HVAC settings (blower, temperature)

 Check the audio settings (volume)

After a trip:

 Check if any aftermarket equipment was

installed (additional lights, upfitter electrical accessories, audio systems, alarms) and review specifications if any (load and Ignition Off Draw currents).

 Evaluate the latest driving cycles (distance,

driving time and parking time).

 The vehicle should have service performed if

the message is still present during consecutive trips and the evaluation of the vehicle and driving pattern did not help to identify the cause.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES

The warning/indicator lights will illuminate in the instrument panel together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal when applicable. These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the information contained in the Owner’s Manual, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases.

72 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

Brake Warning Light

This warning light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the brake

light turns on it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the Anti-Lock Brake System reservoir.

If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this case, the light will remain on until the condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to the brake booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.

The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is indicated by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has dropped below a specified level.

The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.

NOTE:

The light may flash momentarily during sharp cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level conditions. The vehicle should have service performed, and the brake fluid level checked.

If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is necessary.

WARNING!

Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have a collision. Have the vehicle checked immediately.

Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) are also equipped with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required.

Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for approximately two seconds.

The Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is a part of an Onboard Diagnostic System called OBD II that

monitors engine and automatic transmission control systems. This warning light will illuminate when the ignition is in the ON/RUN position before engine start. If the bulb does not come on when turning the ignition switch from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition checked promptly.

Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor quality fuel, etc., may illuminate the light after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several typical driving styles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will not require towing.

When the engine is running, the MIL may flash to alert serious conditions that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle should be serviced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible if this occurs.

WARNING!

A malfunctioning catalytic converter can reach higher temperatures than in normal operating conditions. This can cause a fire if you drive slowly or park over flammable substances such as dry plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This could result in death or serious injury to the driver, occupants or others.

CAUTION!

Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on could cause damage to the vehicle control system. It also could affect fuel economy and driveability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is required.

76 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

Service AWD Warning Light — If Equipped

This telltale will turn on to indicate the All Wheel Drive (AWD) system is not functioning properly and that service is required. Contact an authorized dealer.

Service Forward Collision Warning (FCW) Light — If Equipped

This warning light will illuminate to indicate a fault in the Forward Collision Warning System. Contact an authorized dealer for service Ú page 188.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Warning Light

The warning light switches on and a message is displayed to indicate that the tire pressure is lower than the

recommended value and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal tire duration and fuel consumption may not be guaranteed.

Should one or more tires be in the condition mentioned previously, the display will show the indications corresponding to each tire.

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 authorized dealer as soon as possible.

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 also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if underinflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 77

CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Using aftermarket tire sealants may cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor to become inoperable. After using an aftermarket tire sealant it is recommended that you take your vehicle to an authorized dealer to have your sensor function checked.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II

Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated Onboard Diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the 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 drivable and not need towing, see an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible.

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.

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 121.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 79

WARNING!

 ONLY an authorized service technician should

connect equipment to the OBD II connection port in order to read the VIN, diagnose, or service your vehicle.

 If unauthorized equipment is connected to

the OBD II connection port, such as a driver-behavior tracking device, it may:

 Be possible that vehicle systems,

including safety related systems, could be impaired or a loss of vehicle control could occur that may result in an accident involving serious injury or death.

 Access, or allow others to access, infor-

mation stored in your vehicle systems, including personal information.

EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS

In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to pass an inspection of your vehicle's emissions control system. Failure to pass could prevent vehicle registration.

For states that require an Inspection and Maintenance (I/M), this check verifies the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is

functioning and is not on when the engine is running, and that the OBD II system is ready for testing.

Normally, the OBD II system will be ready. The OBD II system may not be ready if your vehicle was recently serviced, recently had a dead battery or a battery replacement. If the OBD II system should be determined not ready for the I/M test, your vehicle may fail the test.

Your vehicle has a simple ignition actuated test, which you can use prior to going to the test station. To check if your vehicle's OBD II system is ready, you must do the following:

1. Cycle the ignition switch to the ON position,

but do not crank or start the engine.

NOTE:

If you crank or start the engine, you will have to start this test over.

2. As soon as you cycle the ignition switch to the

ON position, you will see the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) symbol come on as part of a normal bulb check.

3. Approximately 15 seconds later, one of two things will happen:

 The MIL will flash for about 10 seconds and

then return to being fully illuminated until you turn OFF the ignition or start the engine. This means that your vehicle's OBD II system is not ready and you should not proceed to the I/M station.

 The MIL will not flash at all and will remain

fully illuminated until you place the ignition in the off position or start the engine. This means that your vehicle's OBD II system is ready

and you can proceed to the I/M station.

If your OBD II system is not ready, you should see an authorized dealer or repair facility. If your vehicle was recently serviced or had a battery failure or replacement, you may need to do nothing more than drive your vehicle as you normally would in order for your OBD II system to update. A recheck with the previously mentioned test routine may then indicate that the system is now ready.

Regardless of whether your vehicle's OBD II system is ready or not, if the MIL is illuminated during normal vehicle operation you should have your vehicle serviced before going to the I/M station. The I/M station can fail your vehicle because the MIL is on with the engine running.

AUTOPARK

AutoPark is a supplemental feature to assist with placing the vehicle in PARK should the situations on the following pages occur. It is a back up system and should not be relied upon as the primary method by which the driver shifts the vehicle into PARK.

The conditions under which AutoPark will engage are outlined on the following pages.

WARNING!

 Driver inattention could lead to failure to place

the vehicle in PARK. ALWAYS DO A VISUAL CHECK that your vehicle is in PARK by verifying that a solid (not blinking) “P” is indicated in the instrument cluster display and on the gear selector. If the “P” indicator is blinking, your vehicle is not in PARK. As an added precaution, always apply the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.

(Continued)

WARNING!

 AutoPark is a supplemental feature. It is not

designed to replace the need to shift your vehicle into PARK. It is a back up system and should not be relied upon as the primary method by which the driver shifts the vehicle into PARK.

If the vehicle is not in PARK and the driver turns off the engine, the vehicle may AutoPark.

AutoPark will engage when all of these conditions are met:

 Vehicle is equipped with an 8-speed transmis-

sion

 Vehicle is not in PARK

 Vehicle speed is 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) or less

 Ignition switched from RUN to ACC

NOTE:

For Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ equipped vehicles, the engine will turn off and the ignition switch will change to ACC position. After 30 minutes, the ignition switches to OFF automatically, unless the driver turns the ignition switch OFF.

If the vehicle is not in PARK and the driver exits the vehicle with the engine running, the vehicle may AutoPark.

AutoPark will engage when all of these conditions are met:

 Vehicle is equipped with an 8-speed transmission

 Vehicle is not in PARK

 Vehicle speed is 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) or less

 Driver’s seat belt is unbuckled

 Driver’s door is ajar

 Brake pedal is not pressed

The message “AutoPark Engaged Shift to P then Shift to Gear” will display in the instrument cluster.

NOTE:

In some cases the ParkSense graphic will be displayed in the instrument cluster. In these cases, the gear selector must be returned to “P” to select desired gear.

If the driver shifts into PARK while moving, the vehicle may AutoPark.

AutoPark will engage ONLY when vehicle speed is

1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) or less.

The message “Vehicle Speed is Too High to Shift to P” will be displayed in the instrument cluster if vehicle speed is above 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h).

STARTING AND OPERATING 83

WARNING!

If vehicle speed is above 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h), the transmission will default to NEUTRAL until the vehicle speed drops below 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h). A vehicle left in the NEUTRAL position can roll. As an added precaution, always apply the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.

ALWAYS DO A VISUAL CHECK PARK by looking for the "P" in the instrument cluster display and on the gear selector. As an added precaution, always apply the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.

EXTENDED P ARK S TARTING

NOTE:

Extended Park condition occurs when the vehicle has not been started or driven for at least 30 days.

1. Install a battery charger or jumper cables to the battery to ensure a full battery charge during the crank cycle.

2. Place the ignition in the START position and release it when the engine starts.

3. If the engine fails to start within 10 seconds, place the ignition in the OFF position, wait 10 to 15 seconds to allow the starter to cool, then repeat the “Extended Park Starting” procedure.

4. If the engine fails to start after eight attempts, allow the starter to cool for at least 10 minutes, then repeat the procedure.

CAUTION!

To prevent damage to the starter, do not crank continuously for more than 10 seconds at a time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again.

IF ENGINE FAILS T O START

If the engine fails to start after you have followed the “Normal Starting” and the vehicle has not experienced an extended park condition as defined previously, it may be flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there. Crank the engine for no more than 10 seconds. This should clear any excess fuel in case the engine is flooded. Leave the ignition key in the ON/RUN position, release the accelerator pedal and repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.

WARNING!

 Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into

the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in flash fire causing serious personal injury.

(Continued)

WARNING!

 Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to

get it started. Vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission cannot be started this way. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle.

 If the vehicle has a discharged battery,

booster cables may be used to obtain a start from a booster battery or the battery in another vehicle. This type of start can be dangerous if done improperly Ú page 239.

CAUTION!

To prevent damage to the starter, do not continuously crank the engine for more than 10 seconds at a time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

ELOW –22°F OR −30°C)

To ensure reliable starting at these temperatures, use of an externally powered electric engine block heater (available from an authorized dealer) is recommended.

84 STARTING AND OPERATING

AFTER STARTING

The idle speed is controlled automatically, and it will decrease as the engine warms up.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS —

3.6L & 5.7L

A long break-in period is not required for the drivetrain (engine, transmission, clutch, and rear axle) in your new vehicle.

Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.

While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws contributes to a good break-in. However, wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detrimental and should be avoided.

The engine oil, transmission fluid, and axle lubricant installed at the factory are high-quality and energy-conserving. Oil, fluid, and lubricant changes should be consistent with anticipated climate and conditions under which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity and quality grades Ú page 305.

CAUTION!

Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.

NOTE:

A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as an indication of difficulty. Please check your oil level with the engine oil indicator often during the break in period. Add oil as required.

PARKING BRAKE

Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that the parking brake is fully applied and place the gear selector in the PARK or REVERSE (manual transmission only) position.

When the parking brake is applied and the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position, the Brake Warning Light in the instrument cluster will illuminate.

NOTE:

 When the parking brake is applied and the

transmission is placed in gear, the Brake Warning Light will flash. If vehicle speed is detected, a chime will sound to alert the driver. Fully release the parking brake before attempting to move the vehicle.

 This light only shows that the parking brake is

applied. It does not show the degree of brake application.

When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade. For vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, apply the parking brake before placing the gear selector in PARK, otherwise the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the gear selector out of PARK. The parking brake should always be applied whenever the driver is not in the vehicle.

STARTING AND OPERATING 85

Manual Transmission — If Equipped

The foot operated parking brake is positioned below the lower left corner of the instrument panel. To release the parking brake, pull the parking brake release handle.

Parking Brake Release

before driving; failure to do so can lead to brake failure and a collision.

 Always fully apply the parking brake when

leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and cause damage or injury. Also be certain to leave the transmission in PARK. Failure to do so may allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury.

CAUTION!

If the Brake Warning Light remains on with the parking brake released, a brake system malfunction is indicated. Have the brake system serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.

86 STARTING AND OPERATING

MANUAL TRANSMISSION — IF EQUIPPED

6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION

WARNING!

You or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended without having the parking brake fully applied. The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle, especially on an incline.

CAUTION!

 Never drive with your foot resting on the clutch

pedal, or try to hold the vehicle on a hill with the clutch pedal partially engaged, as this will cause abnormal wear on the clutch Ú page 183.

 Failure to press the clutch pedal fully to the

floor may cause increased shift efforts, and may result in damage to the clutch and transmission.

(Continued)

CAUTION!

 Do not rest your hand on the gear selector

while driving, as this may result in transmission synchronizer damage.

 Do not attempt to shift the transmission if the

rear wheels are spinning due to loss of traction. Damage to the transmission may occur.

NOTE:

During cold weather, you may experience increased effort in shifting until the transmission fluid warms up. This is normal.

Manual Gear Selector

SHIFTING

Fully press the clutch pedal and lift your foot off the accelerator pedal before shifting gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly press the accelerator pedal. Damage to the transmission or clutch may occur if you do not fully press the clutch pedal and lift off of the accelerator pedal when shifting.

Shift Pattern

The 6-speed manual transmission has a spring that centers the gear selector near THIRD and FOURTH gear. This spring helps you know which gear you are in when you are shifting. Be careful when shifting from FIRST to SECOND or downshifting from SIXTH to FIFTH.

STARTING AND OPERATING 87

The spring will try to pull the gear selector toward THIRD and FOURTH gear. Make sure you move the gear selector into SECOND or FIFTH gear. If you let the gear selector move in the direction of the pulling, you may end shifting from FIRST to FOURTH or from SIXTH to THIRD gear.

Axle Ratio 1-4 4-5 5-6

Always make sure the vehicle comes to a complete stop before shifting into REVERSE. Failure to do so may result in transmission damage.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION RECOMMENDED SHIFT SPEEDS

the ON position (RUN position for Keyless Enter ‘n Go™), as compared to the ignition LOCK position (OFF position for Keyless Enter ‘n Go™). This is normal operation of the transmission reverse inhibitor system.

 Due to the high performance nature of your

drivetrain, you may hear your transmission. This can be most noticeable when the vehicle is idling in NEUTRAL with the clutch engaged (clutch pedal released), but it may also be heard when driving at low engine RPM. Also, this may be more noticeable when the transmission is warm. This is a normal condition and is not an indication of a problem with your clutch or transmission.

You must always use FIRST gear (or REVERSE) when starting from a standing position.

RECOMMENDED SHIFT SPEEDS

To utilize your manual transmission efficiently for fuel economy, it should be upshifted as listed in recommended shift speed chart.

1–4 SKIP SHIFT

In Auto Drive Mode, Default, or Street Drive Modes, there are times when you must shift the transmission directly from FIRST gear to FOURTH gear instead of from FIRST gear to SECOND gear. This is to help you get the best possible fuel economy from your vehicle. This occurs when the engine coolant (antifreeze) is higher than 106°F (41°C), vehicle speed is greater than 19 mph (30 km/h) but less than 21 mph (34 km/h), and the transmission is in FIRST gear, and the accelerator is at ¼ throttle or less.

After you shift the transmission to FOURTH gear, you can press the clutch in and shift to another forward gear.

88 STARTING AND OPERATING

DOWNSHIFTING

To maintain a safe speed and prolong brake life, downshift to maintain a safe speed when descending a steep grade.

WARNING!

Skipping more than one gear while downshifting, could cause you to lose control of your vehicle. You could have a collision.

CAUTION!

 If you skip more than one gear while down-

shifting or downshift at too high an engine speed, you could damage the engine, transmission, or clutch.

 Do not downshift into FIRST gear when

the vehicle is moving faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), as you could damage the engine and/or clutch.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION — IF EQUIPPED

You must press and hold the brake pedal while shifting out of PARK.

WARNING!

 Never use the PARK position as a substitute

for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when exiting the vehicle to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.

 Your vehicle could move and injure you and

others if it is not in PARK. Check by trying to move the transmission gear selector out of PARK with the brake pedal released. Make sure the transmission is in PARK before exiting the vehicle.

 The transmission may not engage PARK if the

vehicle is moving. Always bring the vehicle to a complete stop before shifting to PARK, and verify that the transmission gear position indicator solidly indicates PARK (P) without blinking. Ensure that the vehicle is completely stopped, and the PARK position is properly indicated, before exiting the vehicle.

(Continued)

WARNING!

 It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or

NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something. Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.

 Unintended movement of a vehicle could

injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, always come to a complete stop, then apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into PARK, and turn the ignition OFF. When the ignition is in the OFF position, the transmission is locked in PARK, securing the vehicle against unwanted movement.

 When exiting the vehicle, always make sure

the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the key fob from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.

 Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle

(or in a location accessible to children), and do not leave the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN position. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

CAUTION!

 Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only after

the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

 Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE,

NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is above idle speed.

 Before shifting into any gear, make sure your

foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.

This vehicle is equipped with an Ignition Park Interlock which requires the transmission to be in PARK before the ignition can be turned to the OFF position. This helps the driver avoid inadvertently leaving the vehicle without placing the transmission in PARK. This system also locks the transmission in PARK whenever the ignition is in the OFF position.

NOTE:

The transmission is NOT locked in PARK when the ignition is in the ACC position (even though the engine will be off). Ensure that the transmission is in PARK, and the ignition is OFF (not in ACC position) before exiting the vehicle.

BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT

NTERLOCK (BTSI) S YSTEM

This vehicle is equipped with a BTSI system that holds the transmission gear selector in PARK unless the brakes are applied. To shift the transmission out of PARK, the engine must be running and the brake pedal must be pressed. The brake pedal must also be pressed to shift from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or REVERSE when the vehicle is stopped or moving at low speeds.

8-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

The transmission gear range is displayed both on the gear selector and in the instrument cluster. To select a gear range, push the lock button on the gear selector and move the selector rearward or forward. To shift the transmission out of PARK, the engine must be running and the brake pedal must be pressed. You must also press the brake pedal to shift from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or REVERSE when the vehicle is stopped or moving at low speeds. Select the DRIVE range for normal driving.

NOTE:

 The transmission electronics are self-cali-

brating; therefore, the first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition, and precision shifts will develop within a few hundred miles (kilometers).

 In the event of a mismatch between the gear

selector position and the actual transmission gear (for example, driver selects PARK while driving), the position indicator will blink continuously until the selector is returned to the proper position, or the requested shift can be completed.

The electronically controlled transmission adapts its shift schedule based on driver inputs, along with environmental and road conditions.

90 STARTING AND OPERATING

Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE when the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal when shifting between these gears.

The transmission gear selector provides PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, and MANUAL (AutoStick) shift positions. Manual shifts can be made using the AutoStick shift control. Toggling the gear selector forward (-) or rearward (+) while in the MANUAL (AutoStick) position (beside the DRIVE position) will manually select the transmission gear, and will display the current gear in the instrument cluster Ú page 93.

Automatic Transmission Gear Selector

NOTE:

If the gear selector cannot be moved to the PARK, REVERSE, or NEUTRAL position (when pushed forward) it is probably in the MANUAL (AutoStick, +/-) position (beside the DRIVE position). In MANUAL (AutoStick) mode, the transmission gear is displayed in the instrument cluster (as M1, M2, M3, etc.). Move the gear selector to the right (into the DRIVE [D] position) for access to PARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL.

Gear Ranges

Do not press the accelerator pedal when shifting out of PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).

NOTE:

After selecting any gear range, wait a moment to allow the selected gear to engage before accelerating. This is especially important when the engine is cold.

PARK (P)

This range supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission. The engine can be started in this range. Never attempt to use PARK while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking brake when exiting the vehicle in this range.

When parking on a hill, apply the parking brake before shifting the transmission to PARK. As an added precaution, turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade.

When exiting the vehicle, always:

 Apply the parking brake.

 Shift the transmission into PARK.

 Turn the ignition OFF.

 Remove the key fob from the vehicle.

WARNING!

 Never use the PARK position as a substitute

for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when exiting the vehicle to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.

 Your vehicle could move and injure you and

others if it is not in PARK. Check by trying to move the transmission gear selector out of PARK with the brake pedal released. Make sure the transmission is in PARK before exiting the vehicle.

 The transmission may not engage PARK if the

the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the key fob from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.

(Continued)

WARNING!

 Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

 Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle

(or in a location accessible to children), and do not leave the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN position. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

CAUTION!

 Before moving the transmission gear selector

out of PARK, you must start the engine, and also press the brake pedal. Otherwise, damage to the gear selector could result.

 DO NOT race the engine when shifting from

PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range, as this can damage the drivetrain.

The following indicators should be used to ensure that you have properly engaged the transmission into the PARK position:

 When shifting into PARK, push the lock button

on the gear selector and firmly move the selector all the way forward until it stops and is fully seated.

 Look at the transmission gear position display

and verify that it indicates the PARK position (P), and is not blinking.

 With the brake pedal released, verify that the

gear selector will not move out of PARK.

REVERSE (R)

This range is for moving the vehicle backward. Shift into REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

NEUTRAL (N)

Use this range when the vehicle is standing for prolonged periods with the engine running. Apply the parking brake and shift the transmission into PARK if you must exit the vehicle.

92 STARTING AND OPERATING

WARNING!

Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe practices that limit your response to changing traffic or road conditions. You might lose control of the vehicle and have a collision.

CAUTION!

Towing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for any other reason with the transmission in NEUTRAL can cause severe transmission damage.

For Recreational Towing Ú page 118.

For Towing A Disabled Vehicle Ú page 245.

DRIVE (D)

This range should be used for most city and highway driving. It provides the smoothest upshifts and downshifts, and the best fuel economy. The transmission automatically upshifts through all forward gears.

When frequent transmission shifting occurs (such as when operating the vehicle under heavy loading conditions, in hilly terrain, traveling into strong head winds, or while towing a heavy trailer), use the AutoStick shift control to select a lower gear Ú page 93. Under these conditions, using a lower

gear will improve performance and extend transmission life by reducing excessive shifting and heat buildup.

During cold temperatures, transmission operation may be modified depending on engine and transmission temperature as well as vehicle speed. This feature improves warm up time of the engine and transmission to achieve maximum efficiency. Engagement of the torque converter clutch is inhibited until the transmission fluid is warm. Normal operation will resume once the transmission temperature has risen to a suitable level.

MANUAL (M)

The MANUAL (M, +/-) position (beside the DRIVE position) enables full manual control of transmission shifting (also known as AutoStick mode Ú page 93. Toggling the gear selector forward (-) or rearward (+) while in the MANUAL (AutoStick) position will manually select the transmission gear, and will display the current gear in the instrument cluster as M1, M2, M3, etc.

Transmission Limp Home Mode

Transmission function is monitored electronically for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected that could result in transmission damage, Transmission Limp Home Mode is activated. In this mode, the transmission may operate only in certain gears, or may not shift at all. Vehicle

performance may be severely degraded and the engine may stall. In some situations, the transmission may not re-engage if the engine is turned off and restarted. The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may be illuminated. A message in the instrument cluster will inform the driver of the more serious conditions, and indicate what actions may be necessary.

In the event of a momentary problem, the transmission can be reset to regain all forward gears by performing the following steps:

NOTE:

In cases where the instrument cluster message indicates the transmission may not re-engage after engine shutdown, perform this procedure only in a desired location (preferably, at an authorized dealer).

1. Stop the vehicle.

2. Shift the transmission into PARK, if possible. If not, shift the transmission to NEUTRAL.

3. Push and hold the ignition switch until the engine turns off.

4. Wait approximately 30 seconds.

5. Restart the engine.

6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the transmission will return to normal operation.

STARTING AND OPERATING 93

NOTE:

Even if the transmission can be reset, we recommend that you visit an authorized dealer at your earliest possible convenience. An authorized dealer has diagnostic equipment to assess the condition of your transmission. If the transmission cannot be reset, authorized dealer service is required.

AutoStick

AutoStick is a driver-interactive transmission feature providing manual shift control, giving you more control of the vehicle. AutoStick allows you to maximize engine braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall vehicle performance. This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city driving, cold slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer towing, and many other situations.

Operation

In AutoStick mode, you can use the gear selector (in the MANUAL position), or the shift paddles to the MANUAL (M) position (beside the DRIVE (D) position), or tap one of the shift paddles on the steering wheel. Tapping the (-) shift paddle to enter AutoStick mode will downshift the transmission to the next lower gear, while tapping (+) to enter AutoStick mode will retain the current gear. The current transmission gear will be displayed in the instrument cluster.

Shift Paddles

1 — (–) Shift Paddle 2 — (+) Shift Paddle

NOTE:

 Tapping one of the steering wheel-mounted

shift paddles (+/-) (if equipped), while the gear selector is in DRIVE, will activate a temporary AutoStick mode. Tapping (-) to enter AutoStick mode will downshift the transmission to the next lower gear, while tapping (+) to enter AutoStick mode will retain the current gear. The current gear will be displayed in the instrument cluster, but the “M” will not be highlighted. The transmission will revert back to normal operation (if the gear selector remains in DRIVE) after a period of time, depending on accelerator pedal activity.

 In some models, the shift paddles may be

disabled (or re-enabled, as desired) using Drive Mode Set-Up, accessed by selecting Performance Control.

In AutoStick mode, the transmission will shift up or down when (+/-) is manually selected by the driver (using the gear selector, or the shift paddles [if equipped]), unless an engine lugging or overspeed condition would result. It will remain in the selected gear until another upshift or downshift is chosen, except as described below.

 In temporary AutoStick mode (gear selector in

DRIVE), the transmission will automatically shift up when maximum engine speed is reached. If the accelerator is fully pressed, the transmission will downshift when possible. Lack of accelerator pedal activity will cause the transmission to revert to automatic operation.

 If normal AutoStick mode is engaged (gear

selector in MANUAL position), manual gear selection will be maintained until the gear selector is returned to DRIVE, or as described below. The transmission will not upshift automatically at redline in this mode, nor will downshifts be obtained if the accelerator pedal is pressed to the floor.

 The transmission will automatically downshift

as the vehicle slows (to prevent engine lugging) and will display the current gear.

94 STARTING AND OPERATING

 The transmission will automatically downshift to

FIRST gear when coming to a stop. After a stop, the driver should manually upshift (+) the transmission as the vehicle is accelerated.

 You can start out, from a stop, in FIRST or

SECOND gear. Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting in SECOND gear. Starting out in SECOND gear can be helpful in snowy or icy conditions.

 If a requested downshift would cause the

engine to overspeed, that shift will not occur and an indication will display.

 The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too

low of a vehicle speed and an indication will display.

 Holding the (-) paddle pressed (if equipped), or

holding the gear selector in the (-) position, will downshift the transmission to the lowest gear possible at the current speed.

 Transmission shifting will be more noticeable

when AutoStick is enabled.

 The system may revert to automatic shift mode

if a fault or overheat condition is detected.

To disengage AutoStick mode, return the gear selector to the DRIVE position, or press and hold the (+) shift paddle (if equipped, and the gear selector is already in DRIVE) until “D” is once again

indicated in the instrument cluster. You can shift in or out of the AutoStick mode at any time without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.

WARNING!

Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or personal injury.

SPORT MODE — WITHOUT PERFORMANCE CONTROL

Your vehicle is equipped with a SPORT Mode feature. This mode is a configuration set up for typical enthusiast driving. The engine, transmission (when equipped with automatic transmission), and steering systems are all set to their SPORT settings. SPORT Mode will provide improved throttle response and modified shifting for an enhanced driving experience, as well the greatest amount of steering feel. This mode may be activated and deactivated by pushing the SPORT button on the instrument panel switch bank.

NOTE:

If equipped with a manual transmission, the 1 - 4 Skip Shift Feature is disabled in SPORT Mode.

FUEL SAVER TECHNOLOGY 5.7L — IF EQUIPPED

This feature offers improved fuel economy by shutting off four of the engine's eight cylinders during light load and cruise conditions. The system is automatic with no driver inputs or additional driving skills required. When the system is active, an indication will display within the instrument cluster “Fuel Economy” main menu screen.

NOTE:

This system may take some time to return to full functionality after a battery disconnect.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING

The electric power steering system provides increased vehicle response and ease of maneuverability. The system adapts to different driving conditions. If the electric steering system experiences a fault that prevents it from providing assist, you will still have the ability to steer the vehicle manually.

WARNING!

Continued operation with reduced assist could pose a safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be obtained as soon as possible.

STARTING AND OPERATING 95

Alternate electric power steering efforts can be selected through the Uconnect System Ú page 122.

If the Electric Power Steering warning icon is displayed and the “SERVICE POWER STEERING” or the “POWER STEERING ASSIST OFF – SERVICE SYSTEM” message is displayed within the instrument cluster display, this indicates the vehicle needs to be taken to the dealer for service Ú page 71.

NOTE:

 Even if the power steering system is no longer

operational, it is still possible to steer the vehicle. Under these conditions there will be a substantial increase in steering effort, especially at low speeds and during parking maneuvers.

 If the condition persists, see an authorized

dealer for service.

If the Steering icon is displayed and the “POWER STEERING SYSTEM OVER TEMP” message is displayed on the instrument cluster screen, they indicate that extreme steering maneuvers may have occurred which caused an over temperature condition in the power steering system. Once driving conditions are safe, pull over and let the vehicle idle for a few moments until the icon and message turn off.

CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS — IF EQUIPPED

Your vehicle may be equipped with the Cruise Control system, or the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system:

 Cruise Control will keep your vehicle at a

constant preset speed.

 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) will adjust the

vehicle speed up to the preset speed to maintain a distance with the vehicle ahead.

NOTE:

 In vehicles equipped with ACC, if ACC is not

enabled, Fixed Speed Cruise Control will not detect vehicles directly ahead of you. Always be aware of the feature selected.

 Only one Cruise Control feature can operate at a

time. For example, if Fixed Speed Cruise Control is enabled, Adaptive Cruise Control will be unavailable, and vice versa.

CRUISE CONTROL

When engaged, the Cruise Control takes over accelerator operations at speeds greater than 20 mph (32 km/h), depending on engine size and axle ratio.

The Cruise Control buttons are located on the right side of the steering wheel.

Cruise Control Buttons

1 — On/Off 2 — CANC/Cancel 3 — SET (+)/Accel 4 — RES/Resume 5 — SET (-)/Decel

WARNING!

Cruise Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose control and have an accident. Do not use Cruise Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.

96 STARTING AND OPERATING

To Activate

Push the on/off button to activate the Cruise Control. “CRUISE CONTROL READY” will appear in the instrument cluster display to indicate the Cruise Control is on. To turn the system off, push the on/off button a second time. “CRUISE CONTROL OFF” will appear in the instrument cluster display to indicate the Cruise Control is off. The system should be turned off when not in use.

WARNING!

Leaving the Cruise Control system on when not in use is dangerous. You could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want. You could lose control and have an accident. Always ensure the system is OFF when you are not using it.

To Set A Desired Speed

Turn the Cruise Control on. When the vehicle has reached the desired speed, push the SET (+) or SET (-) button and release. Release the accelerator and the vehicle will operate at the selected speed. Once a speed has been set, a message “CRUISE CONTROL SET TO MPH (km/h)” will appear indicating what speed was set. A cruise indicator

lamp, along with set speed will also appear and stay on in the instrument cluster when the speed is set.

To Vary The Speed Setting

To Increase Or Decrease The Set Speed

When the Cruise Control is set, you can increase speed by pushing the SET (+) button, or decrease speed by pushing the SET (-) button.

U.S. Speed (mph)

 Pushing the SET (+), or SET (-) button once will

result in a 1 mph speed adjustment. Each subsequent tap of the button results in an adjustment of 1 mph.

 If the button is continually pushed, the set

speed will continue to adjust until the button is released, then the new set speed will be established.

Metric Speed (km/h)

 Pushing the SET (+), or SET (-) button once will

result in a 1 km/h speed adjustment. Each subsequent tap of the button results in an adjustment of 1 km/h.

 If the button is continually pushed, the set

speed will continue to adjust until the button is released, then the new set speed will be established.

To Accelerate For Passing

While the Cruise Control is set, press the accelerator to pass as you would normally. When the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.

USING CRUISE CONTROL ON HILLS

The transmission may downshift on hills to maintain the vehicle set speed.

The Cruise Control system maintains speed up and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so it may be preferable to drive without Cruise Control.

WARNING!

STARTING AND OPERATING 97

To Resume Speed

To resume a previously set speed, push the RES button and release. Resume can be used at any speed above 20 mph (32 km/h).

To Deactivate

A tap on the brake pedal, pushing the CANC button, or normal brake pressure will deactivate the Cruise Control system without erasing the set speed from memory.

Pushing the on/off button or placing the ignition in the OFF position erases the set speed from memory.

The following conditions will also deactivate the Cruise Control without erasing the set speed from memory:

 Vehicle parking brake is applied

 Stability event occurs

 Gear selector is moved out of DRIVE

 Engine overspeed occurs

 Clutch pedal is pressed

(manual transmission only)

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the driving convenience provided by Cruise Control while traveling on highways and major roadways. However, it is not a safety system and not designed to prevent collisions. The Cruise Control function performs differently Ú page 95.

ACC will allow you to keep Cruise Control engaged in light to moderate traffic conditions without the constant need to reset your Cruise Control. ACC utilizes a radar sensor and a forward facing camera designed to detect a vehicle directly ahead of you to maintain a set speed.

NOTE:

 If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC

will apply limited braking or acceleration (not to exceed the original set speed) automatically to maintain a preset following distance, while matching the speed of the vehicle ahead.

 Any chassis/suspension or tire size modifica-

tions to the vehicle will affect the performance of the Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning system.

 Fixed Speed Cruise Control (ACC not enabled)

will not detect vehicles directly ahead of you. Always be aware of the feature selected Ú page 310.

WARNING!

 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a conve-

nience system. It is not a substitute for active driver involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of road, traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead and, most importantly, brake operation 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. Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision and death or serious personal injury.

 The ACC system:

 Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming

vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g., a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).

 Cannot take street, traffic, and weather

conditions into account, and may be limited upon adverse sight distance conditions.

 Does not always fully recognize complex

driving conditions, which can result in wrong or missing distance warnings.

(Continued)

98 STARTING AND OPERATING

WARNING!

You should switch off the ACC system:

 When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow,

sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving situations (i.e., in highway construction zones).

 When entering a turn lane or highway

off-ramp; when driving on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill slopes.

 When towing a trailer up or down steep slopes.

 When circumstances do not allow safe driving

at a constant speed.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Operation

The Cruise Control buttons (located on the right side of the steering wheel) operate the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system.

Adaptive Cruise Control Buttons

1 — CANC/Cancel 2 — Fixed Speed Cruise Control On/Off 3 — Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) On/Off 4 — Distance Decrease 5 — SET (+)/Accel 6 — RES/Resume 7 — SET (-)/Decel 8 — Distance Increase
