speeds up to 50 mph (80 km/h). If your vehicle is rapidly approaching a
stationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in the same direction as yours or a
pedestrian within your driving path, the system provides three levels of
functionality:
Alert: When activated, a warning lamp flashes and an audible warning sounds.
Brake Support: Assists the driver in reducing collision speed by preparing the
brake system for rapid braking. Brake support does not automatically apply the
brakes, but if the brake pedal is pressed even lightly by the driver, brake
support could add additional braking up to full force.
Active Braking: Active braking may activate if the system determines that a
collision is imminent. The system may help the driver reduce impact damage or
avoid the crash completely.
POST-CRASH ALERT SYSTEM*

limited volume levels. For complete information, refer to the MyKey chapter in
your Owner’s Manual.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM CONTROL
The system turns on high beams if it is dark enough and no other traffic is
present in front of you. If it detects an approaching vehicle’s headlamps,
tail lamps, street
lighting ahead or severe weather, the system turns off high beams before they
can distract other road users. Low beams remain on. To switch the system on,
use the information display to select Settings, then select Vehicle Settings,
Lighting and then Auto Highbeam.
AUTOLAMPS
Autolamps turn the headlamps on in low light situations or when the wipers
operate. Your headlamps remain on for a period of time after you switch off
the ignition. You can adjust the time delay using the information display
controls. WARNING It may be necessary to switch your headlamps on manually in
severe weather conditions.

you move closer to the detected obstacle, the rate of the warning tone
increases in frequency. The system turns on automatically whenever you switch
the ignition on.
Press the parking aid button to switch the system off. The side sensing system
uses the front and rear side sensors to detect and map obstacles that are near
the sides of your vehicle. The front sensors are active when the transmission
is in any position other than park (P). The rear sensors are active when the
vehicle is in reverse (R) and your vehicle is traveling at a low speed.
Keep the sensors, located on the bumper or fascia, free from snow, ice and
large accumulations of dirt. If the sensors are covered, the system’s accuracy
can be affected. Do not clean the sensors with sharp objects. See the Parking
Aids chapter in your Owner’s Manual for complete information on your vehicle’s

FUNCTION
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM (BLIS) WITH TRAILER TOW AND CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT*
This system is designed to aid you in detecting vehicles that may have entered
the detection area. The detection area is on both sides of your vehicle and
trailer, extending rearward from the exterior mirrors to the end of your
trailer. Cross traffic alert warns you of vehicles approaching from the sides
when the transmission is in reverse (R). When a trailer is attached and you
have set up a Blind Spot Trailer, the system becomes active when driving
forward above 6 mph (10 km/h). Refer to the Driving Aids chapter in your
Owner’s Manual for more information.
WARNING NEVER use BLIS or cross traffic alert as a replacement for using the
interior and exterior mirrors and looking over your shoulder before changing
lanes.
ACTIVE PARK ASSIST*

steers the vehicle into the space (hands-free) while you control the
accelerator, gearshift and brakes.
The system visually and audibly instructs you to park your vehicle.
To use active park assist, press the 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, turn the steering wheel or press the button
again.
For complete information, refer to the Parking Aids chapter in your Owner’s
Manual.
14 *if equipped
ESSENTIAL FEATURES
CARGO LAMPS*
To switch the cargo lamps off when a door is open, press the button inside the
cargo area behind the left-hand rear door, if equipped. Press the button again
to turn the cargo lamps on.
NOTE The cargo lamps switch only operates when the ignition is off and the
cargo lamps turn off after a short period of time to prevent the battery from
dying.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
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 Wheels and Tires chapter in your Owner’s Manual for
more information.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY AND FUEL INFO
Your vehicle has a 25.1 gallon (95 liter) fuel tank capacity for a standard
tank. The larger tank has a 30.5 gallon (115.4 liter) capacity.
We recommend regular unleaded gasoline with a pump rating of 87. To provide
improved performance, we recommend premium fuel for severe-duty usage, such as
trailer towing. For non-flex fuel vehicles, 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.
If your vehicle has a yellow fuel filler cap, a yellow bezel around the fuel
filler inlet, a yellow fuel filler housing or a yellow E85 label on the fuel
tank filler door, you have a flex fuel vehicle and can use either regular
unleaded fuel, E85 ethanol fuel or any mixture of the two. Add at least half a
tank of fuel when switching between regular unleaded fuel or E85 and drive the
vehicle immediately after refueling for at least 5 miles (8 kilometers) to
allow the vehicle to adapt to the change in ethanol concentration. If you use
E85 fuel exclusively, we recommend filling the fuel tank with regular unleaded
gasoline at each scheduled oil change.
*if equipped
See the Fuel and Refueling chapter in your Owner’s Manual for complete flex
fuel usage details.
LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS*
The spare tire is under the rear of your vehicle. The jack, jack handle and
lug wrench are in the storage compartment in the front right-hand side
stepwell. NOTE For vehicles with Dual Rear Alloy Wheels, please use the wheel
trim removal tool. The tool is in the storage compartment in the front right-
hand side stepwell. A dissimilar spare tire is designed for emergency use only
and should be replaced as soon as possible. For complete details on changing
your tire, refer to the Wheels and Tires chapter in your Owner’s Manual.
