Helpful Hints for Using Voice Recognition
» Make sure the interior of your vehicle is as quiet as possible. Wind noise from open windows and road vibrations may prevent the system from correctly recognizing spoken commands.
» Before giving a voice command, wait for the system announcement to finish, followed by a single tone. Any command spoken before this does not register with the system.
» Speak naturally, without long pauses between words.
» You can interrupt the system at any time while it is speaking by pressing the voice button . You can cancel a voice session by pressing and holding the voice button .
The system provides feedback through audible tones, prompts, questions and spoken confirmations depending on the situation and the chosen level of interaction. You can customize the voice recognition system to provide more or less instruction and feedback.

Pre-Collision Assist
The Pre-Collision Assist system uses a radar sensor and a camera sensor to scan the road ahead to detect stationary vehicles, vehicles moving in the same direction as yours and upright pedestrians in your driving path.
The system is designed to provide an audible and visual alert, brake support and active braking in order to help the driver reduce impact damage or avoid the crash completely.
The system provides support at speeds above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h) and support for pedestrians at speeds up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
For specific details on using the system, adjusting the system alert sensitivity and familiarizing yourself with the system limitations and warnings, please refer to the Pre-Collision Assist chapter in your Owner’s Manual.
NOTE: You are responsible for controlling your vehicle at all times.
The system does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention. Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious personal injury or death.
BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) and Cross Traffic Alert
BLIS uses radar sensors to help you determine if a vehicle may be in your blind spot zone. Cross traffic alert warns you of vehicles approaching from the sides when the transmission is in reverse (R). Both systems turn on an indicator light in the exterior mirror on the side of the vehicle from which the approaching vehicle is coming.
Cross traffic alert also sounds tones and displays messages to warn you from which direction vehicles are approaching.
NOTE: Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where the vehicle is moving.
Refer to the Driving Aids chapter in your Owner’s Manual for more information.
Lane Keeping System
When you switch the system on and the system detects an unintentional drift out of your lane is likely to occur, the system notifies or assists you to stay in your lane through the steering system and information display. Depending on the feature operation mode you select, the system provides a warning by vibrating the steering wheel (Alert Mode) or a steering assistance (Aid Mode) by gently counter steering your vehicle back into the lane. The system can also provide both warning (vibrating the steering wheel) and steering assistance (gently counter steering your vehicle back into the lane) while Aid+Alert mode is selected.
You can switch the system on or off by pressing the button on the Direction Indicator.
Refer to the Driving Aids chapter of your Owner’s Manual for system operation and limitations.
Automatic High Beam Control
The system turns on high beams if it is dark enough and no other traffic is present. If it detects an approaching vehicle’s headlamps or tail lamps, or street lighting ahead, the system turns off high beams before they can distract other road users. Low beams remain on.

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

Parking Aids*
With the front and rear parking aids and side sensing systems, a warning tone sounds if there is an obstacle near either bumper or near the sides of your vehicle. The warning tone increases in frequency as the object gets closer. The front sensors are active when the gearshift is in any position other than park (P) and traveling at a low speed; the rear sensors activate when the vehicle is in reverse (R) and is traveling less than 3 mph (5 km/h). The side sensors are active when the transmission is in any position other than park (P).
NOTE: Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where the vehicle is moving. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for safety information, more details and system limitations.
Active Park Assist*
with Parallel Parking, Perpendicular Parking and Parallel Park Out Assist Active Park Assist detects an available parallel or perpendicular parking space and automatically steers the vehicle into the space (hands-free) when you control the accelerator, gearshift and brakes. The system visually and audibly guides you to park your vehicle. Press the Active Park Assist button once for parallel parking or twice for perpendicular parking. The system displays a message and a corresponding graphic to indicate that it is searching for a parking space. Use the direction indicator to select from which direction you want to begin searching, either to the left- or right-hand side of your vehicle. Use the park out assist feature when your vehicle is at rest in a parallel parking space. Press the button, and then follow the instructions  on the display.
Use your direction indicator to signal from which side of your vehicle you want to exit the parking space. After the system directs your vehicle past the adjacent vehicle or object, it guides you to take control of the steering to complete the exit from the parking spot. To stop the parking procedure, grab the steering wheel or press the control again. For complete information, refer to the Parking Aids chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
Driver Alert*
Automatically monitors your driving behavior using various inputs including the front camera sensor. If the system detects that your driving alertness level reduces below a certain threshold, then the system alerts you with a tone and a message in the information display.
Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel Info**
For vehicles with 1.5L, 2.5L or front-wheel drive 2.0L engines, the fuel tank capacity is 16.5 gallons (62.5 liters). For vehicles with 2.7L or all-wheel drive 2.0L engines, the fuel tank capacity is 18 gallons (68.1 liters). We recommend regular unleaded gasoline with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87.
To provide improved performance, we recommend premium fuel for severe duty usage, such as trailer towing. Use only UNLEADED fuel or UNLEADED fuel blended with a maximum of 15% ethanol and a minimum octane rating of 87.
Do not use any other fuel because it could damage or impair the emission control system.
Refueling
When refueling your vehicle:

1. Make sure the ignition is switched off.
2. Fully open the fuel door.
3. Insert the fuel filler nozzle into the fuel system up to the first notch, and leave the nozzle inserted and resting against the cover of the fuel tank until you are done pumping.
4. Make sure you keep the fuel pump nozzle in a level position when refueling or it may impact the flow of the fuel. Improper position can also cause the fuel pump to shut off before the fuel tank is full.
5. When you finish refueling, slowly raise and remove the fuel pump nozzle. Fully close the fuel door.

If you are refilling your tank from a fuel container, make sure you use the fuel filler funnel included with your vehicle. Using an aftermarket funnel may not work with the capless system and could cause damage to your vehicle. For more information and for your fuel filler funnel location, please see the Fuel and Refueling chapter of your Owner’s Manual.

In Canada, call 1 -800-665-2006.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
The tire pressure monitoring system allows you to view the tire pressure readings through the information display. When one or more of your tires are under-inflated, your vehicle turns on the low tire pressure warning light in the instrument cluster. If this happens, stop and check your tires as soon as possible. Inflate them to the proper pressure. Refer to the Tire Pressure Monitoring section in the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual for more information.
Location of Spare Tire and Tools
Your spare tire and tools are located beneath the carpeted wheel covering in the rear of your vehicle. The spare tire is designed for emergency use only and should be replaced as soon as possible.
