false alerts due to obstruction of the sensor.
We recommend switching the feature off
when using a bike or cargo rack.

Cross Traffic Alert Indicator

E268294

When the system detects an
approaching vehicle, a tone
sounds, a warning lamp illuminates

in the relevant exterior mirror, and arrows
appear in the information display to show
which side the approaching vehicle is coming
from.

Note: If arrows do not display, a message
appears in the information display.

If the system malfunctions, a warning lamp
illuminates in the instrument cluster and a
message appears in the information display. 
Have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.

Note: In exceptional conditions, the system
could alert you, even when there is nothing
in the detection zone, for example a vehicle
passing further away from your vehicle.

STEERING

Electric Power Steering

WARNING: The electric power

steering system has diagnostic checks that
continuously monitor the system. If a fault
is detected, a message displays in the
information display. Stop your vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so. Switch the

ignition off. After at least 10 seconds,
switch the ignition on and watch the
information display for a steering system
warning message. If a steering system
warning message returns, have the system
checked as soon as possible.

WARNING: If the system detects an

error, you may not feel a difference in the
steering, however a serious condition may
exist. Have your vehicle checked as soon
as possible. Failure to do so may result in
loss of steering control.

Your vehicle is equipped with an electric
power-assisted steering system. There is no
fluid reservoir to check or fill.

If your vehicle loses electrical power while
you are driving (or if the ignition is turned
off), you can steer the vehicle manually, but
it takes more effort. You must adapt your
speed and driving behavior to reduced
steering assist. Extreme continuous steering
may increase the effort it takes for you to
steer. This occurs to prevent internal
overheating and permanent damage to your
steering system. If this should occur, you will

neither lose the ability to steer the vehicle
manually nor will it cause permanent
damage. Typical steering and driving
maneuvers will allow the system to cool
down and steering assist will return to
normal.

Steering Tips

If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
•

An improperly inflated tire.

•

Uneven tire wear.

•

Loose or worn suspension components.

•

Loose or worn steering components.

•

Improper vehicle alignment.

A high crown in the road or high crosswinds
may also make the steering seem to wander
or pull.

PRE-COLLISION ASSIST

WARNING: You are responsible for

controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death.

WARNING: The system does not

detect vehicles that are driving in a
different direction, pedestrians at night,
cyclists or animals. Apply the brakes when
necessary. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.

WARNING: The system does not

operate during hard acceleration or
steering. Failure to take care may lead to
a crash or personal injury.

WARNING: The system may fail or

operate with reduced function during cold
and severe weather conditions. Snow, ice,
rain, spray and fog can adversely affect the
system. Keep the front camera and radar
free of snow and ice. Failure to take care
may result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, serious personal injury or death.

WARNING: In situations where the

vehicle camera has limited detection
capability, this may reduce system
performance. These situations include but
are not limited to direct or low sunlight,
vehicles at night without tail lights,
unconventional vehicle types, pedestrians
with complex backgrounds, running
pedestrians, partly obscured pedestrians,
or pedestrians that the system cannot
distinguish from a group. Failure to take
care may result in the loss of control of
your vehicle, serious personal injury or
death.

331

Driving Aids

WARNING: Take additional care if

your vehicle is heavily loaded or you are
towing a trailer. These conditions could
result in reduced performance of this
system. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.

WARNING: The system cannot help

prevent all crashes. Do not rely on this
system to replace driver judgment and the
need to maintain a safe distance and
speed.

Using the Pre-Collision Assist System

The system detects and warns of
approaching hazards in the roadway. If your
vehicle is rapidly approaching another
stationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in the
same direction as yours, or a pedestrian
within your driving path, the system provides
multiple levels of assistance to help avoid a
collision.

The system is active at speeds above 3 mph
(5 km/h) and pedestrian detection is active
at speeds up to 50 mph (80 km/h).

E156130

If your vehicle is rapidly approaching another
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:

1. Alert.

2. Brake support.

3. Active braking.

E255268

Alert: When active, a flashing visual warning
appears and an audible warning tone
sounds.

Brake support: The system helps reduce the
impact speed by preparing the brakes for
rapid braking. Brake support does not
automatically apply the brakes. If you press
the brake pedal, the system could apply
additional braking up to maximum braking
force, even if you lightly press the brake
pedal.

Active braking: It activates if the system
determines that a collision is about to occur.
The system may help the driver reduce
impact damage or completely avoid the
crash.

Note: If you perceive pre-collision assist
alerts as being too frequent or disturbing,
you can reduce the alert sensitivity, though
we recommend using the highest sensitivity
setting where possible. Setting lower
sensitivity would lead to fewer and later
system warnings.

332

Driving Aids

Note: Brake support and active braking are
active at speeds up to 80 mph (130 km/h). If
your vehicle has a radar sensor included
with adaptive cruise control, then brake
support and active braking are active up to
the maximum speed of your vehicle.

Note: The system turns off when you select
the deep conditions drive mode.

Pedestrian Detection Limitations

Pedestrian detection is active at speeds up
to 50 mph (80 km/h). Pedestrian detection
functions optimally when detected hazards
are clearly identifiable. System performance
may reduce in situations where pedestrians
are running, partly obscured, have a complex
background, or you cannot distinguish them
from a group.

Distance Indication and Alert

 (If Equipped)

This feature is a function that provides the
driver with a graphical indication of the time
gap to other preceding vehicles traveling in
the same direction. The information display
screen shows one of the images that follow.

E356487

If the time gap to a preceding vehicle is
small, a red visual indication displays to the
driver.

Note: Distance indication and alert turns off
and the images do not display when
adaptive cruise control is active.

Automatic Emergency Braking

This may activate if the system determines
that a collision is imminent. The system may
help reduce impact damage to avoid the
crash completely. Automatic emergency
braking is only available up to certain
speeds.

Evasive Steering Assist

 (If Equipped)

If your vehicle is rapidly approaching a
stationary vehicle or a vehicle traveling in
the same direction as your vehicle, the
system helps you steer around the vehicle.

The system only activates when all the
following occur:
•

The pre-collision assist system detects a
vehicle ahead and starts to apply active
braking.

•

You turn the steering wheel in an attempt
to steer around the vehicle.

After you turn the steering wheel, the system
applies additional steering torque to help
you steer around the vehicle. After you pass
the vehicle, the system applies steering
torque in the opposite direction to encourage
you to steer back into the lane. The system
turns off after you fully pass the vehicle.

Note: The system does not automatically
steer around a vehicle. If you do not turn the
steering wheel, the system does not activate.

Note: The system does not activate if the
distance to the vehicle ahead is too small
and it cannot avoid a crash.

Note: The system does not activate with
cyclists or pedestrians.

Adjusting the Pre-Collision Assist
Settings

You can adjust the following settings by
using the center stack screen.
•

Change alert and distance alert sensitivity
to one of three settings.

•

Switch distance indication and alert on
or off.

334

Driving Aids

•

If required, switch active braking on or
off.

•

Action

Cause

Clean the grille surface in front of the radar or remove the object

causing the obstruction

The surface of the radar in the grille is dirty or obstructed in some

way.

Wait a short time. It could take several minutes for the radar to detect

that there is no obstruction.

The surface of the radar in the grille is clean but the message remains

in the display screen.

The pre-collision assist system temporarily disables. Pre-collision

assist reactivates a short time after the weather conditions improve.

Heavy rain, spray, snow or fog is interfering with the radar signals.

The system temporarily disables.

Swirling water, snow or ice on the surface of the road could interfere

with the radar signals.

The system temporarily disables.

Radar is out of alignment due to a front-end impact.

Note: Proper system operation requires a
clear view of the road by the camera. Have
any windshield damage in the camera's field
of view repaired.

Note: If something hits the front-end of your
vehicle or damage occurs, the radar sensing
zone may change. This could cause missed
or false detections. Have the system
checked as soon as possible.

Note: If your vehicle detects excessive heat
at the camera or a potential misalignment
condition, a message could display in the
information display indicating temporary
sensor unavailability. When operational
conditions are correct, the message
deactivates. For example, when the ambient
temperature around the sensor decreases
or the sensor recalibrates successfully.

WHAT IS DRIVE MODE CONTROL

The system delivers a driving experience
through a suite of sophisticated electronic
vehicle systems. These systems optimize
steering, handling and powertrain response.
This provides a single location to control
multiple systems performance settings.

Changing the drive mode automatically
changes the functionality of the following
systems:
•

Electronically power-assisted steering
system adjusts steering effort and feel
based on the mode you select. See
Steering (page 330).

•

Electronic stability control and traction
control maintains your vehicle control in
adverse conditions or high performance
driving. See Stability Control (page 281).

•

Electronic throttle control enhances the
powertrain response to your driving
inputs.

•

Transmission controls optimize with shift
schedules tuned to each mode.

•

AWD settings become optimized and
tuned to each mode.

The system automatically tailors your vehicle
configuration for each mode you select.

Note: Not all settings, or modes, may be
available.

Note: The system has diagnostic checks that
continuously monitor the system for proper
operation. If a mode is unavailable due to a
system fault, the mode defaults to Normal.

SELECTING A DRIVE MODE

Note: Drive mode changes may not be
available when the ignition is off.

E307643

Rotate the drive mode dial on the center
console to change the drive mode.

DRIVE MODES

CONSERVE

Enables efficient driving. It helps to deliver
maximum fuel efficiency and helps to
increase driving range.

DEEP CONDITIONS

For crossing terrain that has deformable
deep, rutted surfaces such as mud, deep
sand or deep snow. Do not use on dry, hard
surfaced roads.

337

Drive Mode Control

EXCITE

For sporty on-road driving. This mode
increases throttle response, provides a
sportier exhaust sound and steering feel,
along with quicker shifting. The suspension
could stiffen, with an emphasis on handling
and control. The transmission also holds
gears longer, helping your vehicle accelerate
faster when shifting gears.

Note: Sportier exhaust sound may not be
available depending on vehicle
configuration.

NORMAL

For everyday driving. This mode is a perfect
balance of excitement, comfort and
convenience. This is the default mode after
each ignition cycle.

PRESERVE EV - PLUG-IN HYBRID
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (PHEV)

Your vehicle runs the engine as needed to
save electric driving range for later use in
another drive mode. For example, you first
drive at high speeds on open roads where
engine operation is appropriate. Later, you
drive at low speeds in an urban area where
electric only is most efficient.  See Plug-In
Hybrid Vehicle Operation (page 215).

PURE EV - PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC
VEHICLE (PHEV)

This mode provides an electric only driving
experience. Your vehicle could accelerate
more slowly, and the top speed could
reduce. For more power, you can temporarily
enable your engine at any time by using one
of the following methods:

•

Press and hold the folder button on the
steering wheel when viewing the pure
EV information screen. Your vehicle
enables the engine as needed, and
returns to pure EV after several seconds,
or when the vehicle no longer needs the
engine.

•

Press the accelerator pedal fully. A
pop-up message appears. Press OK on
the steering wheel to activate as needed.

Your vehicle could enable the engine if
system conditions require it. An engine
enabled message displays if this occurs.  See
Information Messages (page 142).

Your engine could enable if the climate
control is in a defrost mode and the outside
temperature is cold. If the vehicle does not
need defrost, select a different climate
control mode to permit pure EV.

Your vehicle changes from pure EV mode to
normal mode when the vehicle electric range
is zero.

Note: When in pure EV mode, your vehicle
stays in this mode if there is all electric
driving range available and the system does
not fault.

338

Drive Mode Control

SLIPPERY

For less than ideal road conditions, such as
snow or ice covered roads. Slippery mode
inspires confidence without taking away from
driving pleasure. Slippery mode lowers
throttle response and optimizes shifting for
slippery surfaces.

Note: Using slippery mode on dry hard
surfaces could produce some vibration,
driveline bind up, and potential excessive
tire wear as the intent of this mode is for
slippery and loose surfaces.
