See General Information (page

110).

Grade assist:

Provides additional grade braking with a
combination of engine motoring and
high-voltage battery charging to help
maintain vehicle speed when descending
a grade.

As your vehicle determines the amount
of engine motoring and high-voltage
battery charging, you may notice the
engine speed increasing and decreasing
to help maintain your vehicle speed when
descending a grade.

E144523

The grade assist lamp illuminates
grey when the grade assist feature
is switched on through the

instrument display settings menu. The lamp
changes from grey to green when grade
assist is actively providing additional grade
braking.

at any vehicle speed.

Not intended for use under extended or
normal driving conditions and results in
lower fuel economy.

Brake-Shift Interlock Override

WARNING: Do not drive your vehicle

until you verify that the stoplamps are
working.

WARNING: When doing this

procedure, you need to take the
transmission out of park (P) which means
your vehicle can roll freely. To avoid
unwanted vehicle movement, always fully
apply the parking brake prior to doing this
procedure. Use wheels chocks if
appropriate.

WARNING: If the parking brake is

fully released, but the brake warning lamp
remains illuminated, the brakes may not
be working properly. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.

Note: See your authorized dealer as soon
as possible if this procedure is used.

Note: For some markets this feature is
disabled.

Note: This feature only functions if your
12-volt battery has power. If vehicle battery
voltage is not sufficient, an external 12-volt
power source (for example, jumper cables,
battery charger or jump pack) may be
required to function the interlock override
switch.

Use the brake-shift interlock override to
move your transmission from the park
position in the event of an electrical
malfunction. If your vehicle has a dead
battery, an external power source is required.

1. Apply the parking brake and turn your

ignition off before performing this
procedure.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Note:  Occasional brake noise is normal.  If
a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding or
continuous squeal sound is present, the
brake linings may be worn-out.  Have the
system checked by an authorized dealer. If
the vehicle has continuous vibration or
shudder in the steering wheel while braking,
have it checked by an authorized dealer.

Note: Brake dust may accumulate on the
wheels, even under normal driving
conditions. Some dust is inevitable as the
brakes wear and does not contribute to
brake noise.  See Cleaning the Wheels
(page 325).

E138644

See Warning Lamps and
Indicators
 (page 104).

Wet brakes result in reduced braking
efficiency.  Gently press the brake pedal a
few times when driving from a car wash or
standing water to dry the brakes.

Brake Over Accelerator

In the event the accelerator pedal becomes
stuck or entrapped, apply steady and firm
pressure to the brake pedal to slow the
vehicle and reduce engine power.  If you
experience this condition, apply the brakes
and bring your vehicle to a safe stop.  Move
the transmission to park (P), switch the
engine off and apply the parking brake. 
Inspect the accelerator pedal for any
interference. If none are found and the
condition persists, have your vehicle towed
to the nearest authorized dealer.

Brake Assist

Brake assist detects when you rapidly brake
by measuring the rate at which you press the
brake pedal. It provides maximum braking
efficiency as long as you press the pedal.
Brake assist can reduce stopping distances
in critical situations.

Anti-lock Brake System

This system helps you maintain steering
control during emergency stops by keeping
the brakes from locking.

This lamp momentarily illuminates
when you switch the ignition on. If
the light does not illuminate during

start up, remains on or flashes, the anti-lock
braking system may be disabled. Have the
system checked by an authorized dealer. If
the anti-lock brake system is disabled,
normal braking is still effective.

E138644

If the brake warning lamp
illuminates when you release the
parking brake, have your system

checked by an authorized dealer. It also
illuminates momentarily when you switch the
ignition on to confirm the lamp is functional.
If it does not illuminate when you switch the
ignition on or begins to flash at any time,
have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.

Note: The brake warning lamp may
illuminate and stay illuminated until you
switch off your vehicle as a result of driving
at high elevation.

Brakes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regenerative Braking System

This feature is used to simulate the engine
braking of an internal combustion engine
and assist the standard brake system while
recovering some of the energy of motion and
storing it in the battery to improve fuel
economy. The standard brake system is
designed to fully stop the car if regenerative
braking is not available. During regenerative
braking, the motor is spun as a generator to
create electrical current. This recharges the
battery and slows the vehicle. In effect, once
the accelerator pedal is released, the motor
changes from an energy user to an energy
producer.

When you release the accelerator pedal or
press the brake pedal, the brake controller
automatically detects the amount of
deceleration requested and optimizes how
much of the deceleration will be produced
by regenerative braking. The remaining
portion is generated by standard friction
braking. When the battery is almost fully
charged, the amount of regenerative braking
is limited to avoid overcharging, and the
requested deceleration is produced by
standard friction braking alone.

Regenerative braking does not take the
place of the standard friction brakes; it only
assists them. Regenerative braking has also
been designed to interact with the anti-lock
brake system. Regenerative braking is
disabled when the anti-lock brake system is
activated or the battery is fully charged.

HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ANTI-
LOCK BRAKES

The anti-lock braking system does not
eliminate the risks when:

You drive too closely to the vehicle in
front of you.

Your vehicle is hydroplaning.

You take corners too fast.

The road surface is poor.

Note:  If the system activates, the brake
pedal may pulse and may travel further. 
Maintain pressure on the brake pedal.  You
may also hear a noise from the system.  This
is normal.

ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE

WARNING: Always fully apply the

parking brake and make sure you shift into
park (P). Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death.

WARNING: If you drive extended

distances with the parking brake applied,
you could cause damage to the brake
system.

WARNING: The electric parking

brake does not operate if the vehicle
battery is running out of charge.

Your vehicle has an electric parking brake.
You operate it with a switch instead of a
lever. The switch is on the center console or
to the left-hand side of the steering wheel,
on the lower part of the instrument panel.

Note: The electric parking brake makes
noises during operation. This is normal.

your vehicle, always apply the parking
brake.

WARNING: You must remain in your

vehicle when the system turns on. At all
times, you are responsible for controlling
your vehicle, supervising the system and
intervening, if required. Failure to take care
may result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, serious personal injury or death.

WARNING: The system will turn off

if a malfunction is apparent. Failure to take
care may result in the loss of control of
your vehicle, serious personal injury or
death.

Auto Hold uses your vehicle's brakes to hold
your vehicle at a stop once your vehicle has
reached a standstill condition. For example,
Auto Hold can assist you while stopping at
traffic lights or while in traffic jams by holding
the brake pressure for you once you bring
your vehicle to a stop.

Switch Auto Hold off during vehicle or trailer
towing.

Note: In case of a malfunction in the system
while Auto Hold actively holds the vehicle
(for example, low power supply), a message
appears in the information display asking
you to press the brake pedal. If you see this
message, press the brake pedal
immediately.

Note: Auto Hold only activates if the system
recognizes it is applying enough brake
pressure. On a steep hill or incline, you may
need to make sure the brake pedal is
pressed sufficiently to activate the Auto Hold
system.

203

Brakes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The traction control system helps avoid drive
wheel spin and loss of traction.

If your vehicle begins to slide, the system
applies the brakes to individual wheels and,
when needed, reduces engine power at the
same time. If the wheels spin when
accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,
the system reduces engine power in order
to increase traction.

USING TRACTION CONTROL

WARNING: The stability and traction

control light illuminates steadily if the
system detects a failure. Make sure you
did not manually disable the traction
control system using the information
display controls or the switch. If the stability
control and traction control light is still

illuminating steadily, have the system
serviced by an authorized dealer
immediately. Operating your vehicle with
the traction control disabled could lead to
an increased risk of loss of vehicle control,
vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.

The system automatically turns on each time
you switch the ignition on.

If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow,
switching traction control off may be
beneficial as this allows the wheels to spin.

Note: When you switch traction control off,
stability control remains fully active.

Switching the System Off

When you switch the system off or on, a
message appears in the information display
showing system status.

You can switch the system off by either using
the information display controls or the switch.

Using the Information Display Controls

You can switch this feature off or on in the
information display. See General Information
(page 110).

Using a Switch

 (If Equipped)

Use the traction control switch on the
instrument panel to switch the system off or
on.

System Indicator Lights and Messages

E138639

Traction Control

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNING: Vehicle modifications

involving braking system, aftermarket roof
racks, suspension, steering system, tire
construction and wheel and tire size may
change the handling characteristics of your
vehicle and may adversely affect the
performance of the electronic stability
control system. In addition, installing any
stereo loudspeakers may interfere with
and adversely affect the electronic stability
control system. Install any aftermarket
stereo loudspeaker as far as possible from
the front center console, the tunnel, and
the front seats in order to minimize the risk
of interfering with the electronic stability
control sensors. Reducing the
effectiveness of the electronic stability
control system could lead to an increased
risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle
rollover, personal injury and death.

WARNING: Remember that even

advanced technology cannot defy the laws
of physics. It’s always possible to lose
control of a vehicle due to inappropriate
driver input for the conditions. Aggressive
driving on any road condition can cause
you to lose control of your vehicle
increasing the risk of personal injury or
property damage. Activation of the
electronic stability control system is an
indication that at least some of the tires
have exceeded their ability to grip the
road; this could reduce the operator’s
ability to control the vehicle potentially
resulting in a loss of vehicle control, vehicle
rollover, personal injury and death. If your
electronic stability control system activates,
SLOW DOWN.

The system automatically turns on each time
you switch the ignition on.

If a fault occurs in either the stability control
or the traction control system, you may
experience the following conditions:

The stability and traction control light
illuminates steadily.

The stability control and traction control
systems do not enhance your vehicle's
ability to maintain traction of the wheels.

If a driving condition activates either the
stability control or the traction control system
you may experience the following conditions:

The stability and traction control light
flashes.

Your vehicle slows down.

Reduced engine power.

A vibration in the brake pedal.

The brake pedal is stiffer than usual.

If the driving condition is severe and your
foot is not on the brake, the brake pedal
may move as the system applies higher
brake force.

The stability control system has several
features built into it to help you maintain
control of your vehicle:

205

Stability Control

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Electronic Stability Control

The system enhances your vehicle’s ability
to prevent skids or lateral slides by applying
brakes to one or more of the wheels
individually and, if necessary, reducing
engine power.

Traction Control

The system enhances your vehicle’s ability
to maintain traction of the wheels by
detecting and controlling wheel spin. See
Using Traction Control (page 204).

WARNING: The system may not

detect objects with surfaces that absorb
reflection. Always drive with due care and
attention. Failure to take care may result
in a crash.

WARNING: Traffic control systems,

inclement weather, air brakes, external
motors and fans may affect the correct
operation of the sensing system.This may
cause reduced performance or false alerts.

WARNING: The system may not

detect small or moving objects, particularly
those close to the ground.

Note: If your vehicle has MyKey™, the sensing
system cannot be switched off when a
MyKey™ is present. See Principle of
Operation
 (page 62).

Note: Keep the sensors 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.

Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of
obstacles or false alerts.

Note: Certain add-on devices installed
around the bumper or fascia may create
false alerts. For example, large trailer
hitches, bike or surfboard racks, license plate
brackets, bumper covers or any other device
that may block the normal detection zone
of the system. Remove the add-on device to
prevent false alerts.

Note: When you connect a trailer to your
vehicle, the rear parking aid may detect the
trailer and therefore provide an alert. Disable
the rear parking aid when you connect a
trailer to prevent the alert.

The sensing system warns the driver of
obstacles within a certain range of your
vehicle. The system turns on automatically
whenever you switch the ignition on.

You can switch the system off through the
