AutoPark is a supplemental feature to assist in

placing the vehicle in PARK if the situations below

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.

ALWAYS DO A VISUAL CHECK that your vehicle is in

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.
If the vehicle is not in PARK and the driver

attempts to turn off the engine, if certain

conditions are met, the vehicle will AutoPark,

automatically shifting the vehicle’s transmission to

the PARK position. The gear selector will

automatically reset itself to the PARK position. The

vehicle’s ignition will then move to the OFF position

(engine off). When AutoPark is activated the

instrument cluster will display the message

“AutoPark Engaged”.
AutoPark will engage when all of these conditions

are met:



Vehicle is equipped with a gear selector



Vehicle is not in PARK



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



Driver has pushed the ENGINE START/STOP

button

If the vehicle is not in PARK and the driver exits the

vehicle with the engine running, if certain

conditions are met, the vehicle will AutoPark,

automatically shifting the vehicle’s transmission to

the PARK position. The Electric Park Brake SAFE

HOLD feature will also activate in some conditions

page 111.

AutoPark will engage when all of these conditions

are met:



Vehicle is equipped with a gear selector



Vehicle is not in PARK



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



Driver’s door is ajar



Driver’s seat belt is unbuckled



Brake pedal is not pressed

The message “AutoPark Engaged” will display in

the instrument cluster.

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 near 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.



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

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF EQUIPPED

The engine block heater warms the engine and

permits quicker starts in cold weather.
Connect the cord to a 110-115 Volt AC electrical

outlet with a grounded, three-wire extension cord.
For ambient temperatures below 0°F (-18°C), the

engine block heater is recommended. For ambient

temperatures below -20°F (-29°C), the engine

block heater is required.
The engine block heater cord is routed under the

hood, behind to the passenger’s side headlamp.

Follow the steps below to properly use the engine

block heater:
1. Locate the engine block heater cord (behind

the passenger’s side headlamp).

2. Undo the hook-and-loop strap that secures the

heater cord in place.

3. Pull the cord to the front of the vehicle and

plug it into a grounded, three-wire extension

cord.

4. After the vehicle is running, reattach the cord

to the hook-and-loop strap and properly stow it

away behind the passenger’s side headlamp.

NOTE:



The engine block heater cord is a factory

installed option. If your vehicle is not equipped,

heater cords are available from an authorized

dealer.



The engine block heater will require 110 Volt AC

and 6.5 Amps to activate the heater element.



The engine block heater must be plugged in at

least one hour to have an adequate warming

effect on the engine.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

A long break-in period is not required for the engine

and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in your

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.

WARNING!

Remember to disconnect the engine block

heater cord before driving. Damage to the

110-115 Volt electrical cord could cause

electrocution.

STARTING AND OPERATING

109

While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within

the limits of local traffic laws contributes to a good

break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low

gear can be detrimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory

is a high-quality energy conserving type lubricant.

Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated

climate conditions under which vehicle operations

will occur. For the recommended viscosity and

quality grades

page 249.

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 a problem.

PARKING BRAKE

LECTRIC

ARK

RAKE

(EPB)

Your vehicle is equipped with an EPB that offers

simple operation, and some additional features

that make the parking brake more convenient and

useful.

The parking brake is primarily intended to prevent

the vehicle from rolling while parked. Before

leaving the vehicle, make sure that the parking

brake is applied. Also, be certain to leave the

transmission in PARK.
You can engage the parking brake in two ways;



Manually, by applying the EPB switch.



Automatically, by enabling the Auto Park Brake

feature in the customer programmable features

page 141.

The EPB is located in the integrated center stack.

Electric Park Brake Switch

To apply the parking brake manually, push the

switch momentarily. You may hear a sound from

the back of the vehicle while the parking brake

engages. Once the parking brake is fully engaged,

the BRAKE warning lamp in the instrument cluster

and an indicator on the switch will illuminate.

If your foot is on the brake pedal while you apply

the parking brake, you may notice a small amount

of brake pedal movement. The parking brake can

be applied even when the ignition switch is OFF,

however, it can only be released when the ignition

switch in the ACC or ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

The EPB fault lamp will illuminate if the EPB switch

is held for longer than 180 seconds. The light will

extinguish upon releasing the switch.
If the Auto Park Brake feature is enabled, the

parking brake will automatically engage whenever

the transmission is placed into PARK. Once the

parking brake is engaged, the BRAKE warning

lamp in the instrument cluster and the LED

indicator on the switch will illuminate. If your foot is

on the brake pedal, you may notice a small amount

of brake pedal movement while the parking brake

is engaging.
The parking brake will release automatically when

the ignition is cycled to the ON/RUN position, the

transmission is in DRIVE or REVERSE, and the

driver seat belt is buckled and an attempt is made

to drive the vehicle away by pressing the

accelerator pedal.
To release the parking brake manually, the ignition

switch must be in the ON/RUN position. Press on

the brake pedal, then push the parking brake

switch momentarily.

CAUTION!

Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral

Oil in the engine or damage may result.

110

STARTING AND OPERATING

(Continued)

You may hear a sound from the back of the vehicle

while the parking brake disengages. You may also

notice a small amount of movement in the brake

pedal. Once the parking brake is fully disengaged,

the BRAKE warning lamp in the instrument cluster

and the LED indicator on the switch will extinguish.

NOTE:

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. 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.

If exceptional circumstances should make it

necessary to engage the parking brake while the

vehicle is in motion, push on the EPB switch for as

long as engagement is desired. The BRAKE

warning lamp will illuminate, and a continuous

chime will sound. The rear stop lamps will also be

illuminated automatically while the vehicle

remains in motion.
To disengage the parking brake while the vehicle is

in motion, release the switch. If the vehicle is

brought to a complete stop using the parking

brake, when the vehicle reaches approximately

3 mph (4.8 km/h), the parking brake will remain

engaged.
In the unlikely event of a malfunction of the EPB

system, a yellow EPB fault lamp will illuminate. This

may be accompanied by the BRAKE warning lamp

flashing. In this case, urgent service of the EPB

system is required. Do not rely on the parking

brake to hold the vehicle stationary.

WARNING!



Never use the PARK position as a substitute

for the parking brake. Always apply the

parking brake fully when parked to guard

against vehicle movement and possible injury

or damage.



When exiting the vehicle, always make sure

the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the

key fob from the vehicle, and lock your vehicle.



Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil

dren to be in a vehicle unattended is

dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or

others could be seriously or fatally injured.

Children should be warned not to touch the

parking brake, brake pedal or the transmis

sion gear selector.



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.



Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged

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.



Driving the vehicle with the parking brake

engaged, or repeated use of the parking brake

to slow the vehicle may cause serious damage

to the brake system.

WARNING!

CAUTION!

If the Brake System 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.

STARTING AND OPERATING

(Continued)

Auto Park Brake

The Electric Park Brake (EPB) can be programmed

to be applied automatically whenever the vehicle is

at a standstill and the automatic transmission is

placed in PARK. Auto Park Brake is enabled and

disabled by customer selection through the

customer programmable features

page 141.

SafeHold

SafeHold is a safety feature of the Electric Park

Brake (EPB) system that will engage the parking

brake automatically if the vehicle is left unsecured.

If the automatic transmission is not in PARK, the

seat belt is unbuckled, the driver door is open, the

vehicle is at a standstill, and there is no attempt to

press the brake pedal or accelerator pedal, the

parking brake will automatically engage to prevent

the vehicle from rolling.
SafeHold can be temporarily bypassed by pushing

the EPB while the driver door is open and brake

pedal is pressed. Once manually bypassed,

SafeHold will be enabled again once the vehicle

reaches 12 mph (20 km/h) or the ignition is cycled

to the OFF position and back to ON again.

Brake Service Mode

We recommend having your brakes serviced by an

authorized dealer. You should only make repairs

for which you have the knowledge and the right

equipment. You should only enter Brake Service

Mode during brake service.

When servicing your rear brakes, it may be

necessary for you or your technician to push the

rear piston into the rear caliper bore. With the

Electric Park Brake (EPB) system, this can only be

done after retracting the EPB actuator.

Fortunately, actuator retraction can be done easily

by entering Brake Service Mode in your vehicle

page 141. This menu-based system will guide

you through the steps necessary to retract the EPB

actuator in order to perform rear brake service.
Brake Service Mode has requirements that must

be met in order to be activated:



The vehicle must be at a standstill.



The parking brake must be unapplied.



The transmission must be in PARK or NEUTRAL.

While in Brake Service Mode, the EPB fault lamp

will flash continuously while the ignition switch is

ON.
When brake service work is complete, the following

steps must be followed to reset the parking brake

system to normal operation:



Ensure the vehicle is at a standstill.



Press the brake pedal with moderate force.



Apply the EPB.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

You must press and hold the brake pedal while

shifting out of PARK.

WARNING!

You can be badly injured working on or around a

motor vehicle. Do only that service work for

which you have the knowledge and the right

equipment. If you have any doubt about your

ability to perform a service job, take your vehicle

to a competent mechanic.

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

UTOMATIC

RANSMISSION

The transmission is controlled using a rotary

electronic gear selector located on the center

console. The transmission gear selector has PARK,

REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, and LOW shift

positions. Using the LOW position manually

downshifts the transmission to a lower gear based

on vehicle speed. The transmission gear range

(PRNDL) is displayed both above the gear selector

and in the instrument cluster. To select a gear

range, simply rotate the gear selector. Push down

on the gear selector and then rotate it, to access

the L position. You must also press the brake pedal

to shift the transmission out of PARK (or NEUTRAL,

when stopped or moving at low speeds). To shift

past multiple gear ranges at once (such as PARK to

DRIVE), simply rotate the gear selector to the

appropriate detent. Select the DRIVE range for

normal driving.

NOTE:

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. The

transmission electronics are self-calibrating;

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).
The 9-speed transmission has been developed to

meet the needs of current and future FWD/AWD

vehicles. Software and calibration is refined to

optimize the customer’s driving experience and

fuel economy. By design, some vehicle and

driveline combinations utilize NINTH gear only in

very specific driving situations and conditions.
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.

sion is locked in PARK, securing the vehicle

against unwanted movement.

WARNING!



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.



Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil

dren to be in a vehicle unattended is

dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or

others could be seriously or fatally injured.

Children should be warned not to touch the

parking brake, brake pedal or the transmis

sion gear selector.



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.

WARNING!

STARTING AND OPERATING

115

The following indicators should be used to ensure

that you have properly engaged the transmission

into the PARK position:



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. The

engine may be started in this range. Apply the

parking brake and shift the transmission into PARK

if you must exit the vehicle.

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. The DRIVE position provides

optimum driving characteristics under all normal

operating conditions.
If the transmission temperature exceeds normal

operating limits, the transmission controller may

modify the transmission shift schedule, reduce

engine torque, and/or expand the range of torque

converter clutch engagement. This is done to

prevent transmission damage due to overheating.
If the transmission becomes extremely hot, the

Transmission Temperature Warning Light will

illuminate, a warning message will appear in the

instrument cluster, and the transmission may

operate differently until the transmission cools

down.

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, and shifts into EIGHTH or NINTH gear, are

inhibited until the transmission fluid is warm

page 116. Normal operation will resume once

the transmission temperature has risen to a

suitable level.

LOW (L)

Use this range for engine braking when

descending very steep grades. In this range, the

transmission will downshift for increased engine

braking. To access the LOW position, push down

on the gear selector and rotate it fully clockwise.

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 a fixed

gear, or may remain in NEUTRAL. The Malfunction

Indicator Light (MIL) may be illuminated. Limp

Home Mode may allow the vehicle to be driven to

an authorized dealer for service without damaging

the transmission.

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.

116

STARTING AND OPERATING

In the event of a momentary problem, the

transmission can be reset to regain all forward

gears by performing the following steps:
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.

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.

Torque Converter Clutch

A feature designed to improve fuel economy has

been included in the automatic transmission on

your vehicle. A clutch within the torque converter

engages automatically at calibrated speeds. This

may result in a slightly different feeling or response

during normal operation in the upper gears. When

the vehicle speed drops or during some

accelerations, the clutch automatically

disengages.

NOTE:

The torque converter clutch will not engage until

the engine and/or transmission is warm (usually

after 1 to 3 miles [2 to 5 km] of driving). Because

the engine speed is higher when the torque

converter clutch is not engaged, it may seem as if

the transmission is not shifting properly when the

vehicle is cold. This is normal. The torque converter

clutch will function normally once the powertrain is

sufficiently warm.

ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION

Your vehicle is equipped with an Active Noise

Cancellation system. This system is designed to

address exhaust and engine noise. The system

relies on four microphones embedded in the

headliner, which monitor exhaust and engine

noise, and assists an onboard frequency

generator, which creates counteracting sound

waves in the audio system’s speakers. This helps

keep the vehicle quiet at idle and during drive.

POWER STEERING

The electric power steering system will provide

increased vehicle response and ease of

maneuverability. The power steering system

adapts to different driving conditions.

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

117

If the Steering icon is displayed and the “POWER

STEERING SYSTEM OVER TEMP” message is

displayed on the instrument cluster screen, this

indicates 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

page 95.

If the “SERVICE POWER STEERING" or

"POWER STEERING ASSIST OFF -

SERVICE SYSTEM” message and a

steering wheel icon are displayed on the

instrument cluster screen, it indicates that the

vehicle needs to be taken to an authorized dealer

for service. It is likely the vehicle has lost power

steering assistance

page 95.

NOTE:



Even if the power steering assistance is no

longer operational, it is still possible to steer the

vehicle. Under these conditions there will be a

substantial increase in steering effort, espe

cially at low speeds and during parking maneu

vers.



The power steering system is fully electric; it

requires no power steering fluid.



If the condition persists, see an authorized

dealer for service.

STOP/START SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

The Stop/Start function is developed to reduce

fuel consumption. The system will stop the engine

automatically during a vehicle stop if the required

conditions are met. Releasing the brake pedal,
