WHAT IS REVERSE BRAKING
ASSIST

The system uses sensors on the rear of
your vehicle to detect a possible collision
and applies the brakes to either reduce the
damage from impact, or to assist in
avoiding the collision.

HOW DOES REVERSE
BRAKING ASSIST WORK

Reverse Braking Assist functions when in
reverse (R) and traveling at a speed of
1–7 mph (1.5–12 km/h).

If the system detects an obstacle behind
your vehicle, it provides a warning through
the rear parking aid or cross traffic alert
system.

REVERSE BRAKING ASSIST
PRECAUTIONS

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: 

To help avoid personal

injury, always use caution when in
reverse (R) and when using the sensing
system.

WARNING: 

The system may not

operate properly during severe weather
conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy
rain and spray. 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: 

Some situations and

objects prevent hazard detection. For
example low or direct sunlight, inclement
weather, unconventional vehicle types,
and pedestrians. 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: 

Do not use the system

with accessories that extend beyond the
front or rear of your vehicle, for example
a trailer hitch or bike rack. The system is
not able to make corrections for the
additional length of the accessories.

The system only applies the brakes for a
short period of time when an event occurs.
Act as soon as you notice the brakes apply
in order to remain in control of the vehicle.

Note:

Certain add-on devices around the

bumper or fascia may create false alerts.
For example, large trailer hitches, bicycle 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:

The system does not react to small

or moving objects, particularly those close
to the ground.

Note:

The system does not operate during

hard acceleration or steering.

245

Reverse Braking Assist

Note:

If your vehicle sustains damage to

the bumper or fascia leaving it misaligned
or bent, it could alter the sensing zone
causing inaccurate measurement of
obstacles or false alerts.

Note:

Vehicle loading and suspension

changes can impact the angle of the sensors
and may change the normal detection zone
of the system resulting in inaccurate
measurement of obstacles or false alerts.

Note:

When you connect a trailer, the

system may detect the trailer and provide
an alert, or the system turns off. If the
system does not turn off, switch the system
off manually after you connect the trailer.

Note:

You may experience reduced system

performance on road surfaces that limit
deceleration. For example, roads with ice,
loose gravel, mud or sand.

WHAT IS HILL START ASSIST

Hill Start Assist makes it easier for you to
pull away when your vehicle is on a slope
without using the parking brake.

HOW DOES HILL START
ASSIST WORK

When the system activates, your vehicle
remains stationary for a few seconds after
you release the brake pedal.  This gives you
time to move your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.  The brakes
release when the engine has developed
sufficient torque to prevent your vehicle
from rolling down the slope.

WHAT IS TRACTION CONTROL

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

HOW DOES TRACTION
CONTROL WORK

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

SWITCHING TRACTION
CONTROL ON AND OFF -
VEHICLES WITH: SYNC 3 LITE,
VEHICLES WITHOUT: SYNC

WARNING: 

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 traction control system turns on each
time you switch the power on.

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

SWITCHING STABILITY
CONTROL ON AND OFF

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 speakers may
interfere with and adversely affect the
electronic stability control system.
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.

The system turns on when you switch the
power on and you cannot switch the
system off.

The system is disabled when you shift into
reverse (R).

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
PRECAUTIONS

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 vehicle off. After at least 10
seconds, switch the vehicle 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.

Adapt your speed and driving behavior
according to reduced steering assist.

Extreme continuous steering may increase
the effort to steer. This occurs to prevent
internal overheating and damage to the
steering system. If this occurs, you will not
lose the ability to steer your vehicle
manually nor will it cause damage to the
system. Normal steering and driving allows
the system to cool down and steering
assist returns to normal.

Note:

There is no fluid reservoir to check or

fill.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
ADAPTIVE STEERING

The adaptive steering system changes the
steering ratio with changes to vehicle
speed, optimizing the steering response in
all conditions. The system also changes
when you switch on the transmission
tow/haul feature. When you select the
tow/haul button, the adaptive steering
system reduces vehicle sensitivity to
steering inputs at higher vehicle speeds,
while maintaining the ease of parking and
maneuverability at low speeds.

Note:

The adaptive steering system

continuously monitors for faults. If the
system detects a fault, a message appears
in the information display. If a red warning
message displays, stop your vehicle as soon
as it is safe to do so. The message could
clear if the fault is no longer present. If an
adaptive steering system warning message
appears each time you start your vehicle,
have the system checked as soon as
possible.

Note:

The system has a locking device. It

remains mechanically locked at a fixed
steering ratio with the lock engaged. You
may notice a click when you turn your
vehicle on or off.

Note:

If your vehicle loses electrical power

or detects a fault when you are driving, the
system shuts down and you retain a normal
steering function with a fixed steering ratio.
During this time, it is possible that the
steering wheel could not be straight when
the vehicle is driving straight ahead. In
addition, you could notice that the steering
wheel angle required to steer your vehicle
could be different.

255

Steering

Note:

During parking maneuvers, the

adaptive steering system balances the driver
workload for various steering wheel inputs
and vehicle loading conditions. Under
extreme operating conditions the system
locking device could engage. This strategy
prevents overheating and permanent
damage to the adaptive steering system.
Typical steering and driving maneuvers
allow the system to cool and return to
normal operation.

Adaptive Learning

Adaptive learning helps correct road
irregularities and improves overall handling
and steering. It communicates with the
brake system to help operate advanced
stability control and crash avoidance
systems. Additionally, whenever you
disconnect the battery or install a new
battery, you must drive your vehicle a short
distance before the system relearns the
strategy and reactivates all systems.

PARKING AID PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: 

To help avoid personal

injury, always use caution when in
reverse (R) and when using the sensing
system.

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,

fluorescent lamps, 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.

WARNING: 

The parking aid system

can only assist you to detect objects
when your vehicle is moving at parking
speeds. To help avoid personal injury you
must take care when using the parking
aid system.

WARNING: 

The system may not

function if the sensor is blocked.

WARNING: 

In cold and severe

weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all
limit sensor performance.

WARNING: 

If damage occurs in the

immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.

Note:

If your vehicle sustains damage

leaving the sensors misaligned, this will
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts.

When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,
the rear parking aid detects the trailer and
provides an alert. Disable the parking aid
when you connect a trailer to prevent the
alert.

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 could block the normal detection zone
of the parking aid system. Aftermarket spare
tires or spare tire covers mounted to the rear
tailgate could cause false alerts from the
park aid system. Remove the add-on device
to prevent false alerts.

Note:

 Keep the sensors 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.
