SAFETY FEATURES

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)

The ABS provides increased vehicle stability and brake
performance under most braking conditions. The sys-
tem automatically prevents wheel lock and enhances
vehicle control during braking.

The ABS performs a self-check cycle to ensure that the
ABS is working properly each time the vehicle is started
and driven. During this self-check, you may hear a slight
clicking sound as well as some related motor noises.

The ABS is activated during braking when the system
detects one or more wheels are beginning to lock. Road
conditions such as ice, snow, gravel, bumps, railroad
tracks, loose debris, or panic stops may increase the
likelihood of ABS activation(s).

You also may experience the following normal charac-
teristics when the ABS activates:

•

ABS motor noise or clicking sounds (you may con-
tinue to hear for a short time after the stop).

•

Brake pedal pulsations.

•

A slight drop of the brake pedal at the end of the
stop.

The ABS is designed to function with the Original Equip-
ment Manufacturer (OEM) tires. Modification may result
in degraded ABS performance.

WARNING!

•

The ABS contains sophisticated electronic equip-
ment that may be susceptible to interference
caused by improperly installed or high output radio
transmitting equipment. This interference can
cause possible loss of anti-lock braking capability.
Installation of such equipment should be per-
formed by qualified professionals.

•

Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish their
effectiveness and may lead to a collision. Pumping
makes the stopping distance longer. Just press
firmly on your brake pedal when you need to slow
down or stop.

•

The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
braking or steering efficiency beyond that afforded
by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or
the traction afforded.

•

The ABS cannot prevent collisions, including those
resulting from excessive speed in turns, following
another vehicle too closely, or hydroplaning.

•

The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle must
never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous man-
ner that could jeopardize the user’s safety or the
safety of others.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning

Light

The yellow ABS Warning Light will turn on when the igni-
tion is placed in the ON/RUN mode and may stay on for
as long as four seconds.

If the ABS Warning Light remains on or comes on while
driving, it indicates that the anti-lock portion of the brake
system is not functioning and that service is required.
However, the conventional brake system will continue to
operate normally if the ABS Warning Light is on.

If the ABS Warning Light is on, the brake system should
be serviced as soon as possible to restore the benefits
of Anti-Lock Brakes. If the ABS Warning Light does not
come on when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
mode, have the light repaired as soon as possible.

REAR SEAT REMINDER ALERT
(RSRA)

RSRA alerts of the possible presence of an object, pas-
senger, or pet in the rear seats through a visual and
auditory notification. When the system is activated, it
displays the message “Check Rear Seat” on the instru-
ment cluster display and sounds an auditory alert upon
the driver placing the ignition in the OFF position to exit
the vehicle. The system will activate automatically if a
rear door is opened within 10 minutes of the ignition
being placed in the ON/RUN position. RSRA should be
used as a reminder to check the rear seats; it does not
directly detect objects, passengers, or pets and is only
activated when the previous conditions are met.

To enable or disable RSRA, see

page 182.

227

WARNING!

•

Before exiting a vehicle, always come to a com-
plete stop, then shift the automatic transmission
into PARK and apply the parking brake.

•

Always make sure the keyless ignition node is in
the OFF position, key fob is removed from the
vehicle and vehicle is locked.

•

Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Leaving children 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 gear
selector.

•

Do not leave children or animals inside parked
vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat buildup may
cause serious injury or death.

DROWSY DRIVER DETECTION
(DDD) — IF EQUIPPED

DDD detects when the driver is feeling fatigued and
warns the driver to pull over and take a break.

To Activate/Deactivate

DDD can be activated and deactivated through the
Uconnect system by selecting the following in order:

1. “Safety & Driving Assistance”

2. “Drowsy Driver Detection”

WARNING!

The DDD system is an aid for driving and does not
relieve the driver of the responsibility of driving the
vehicle. If you experience fatigue while driving, pull
over safely for a break without waiting for the DDD to
intervene. Only return to the road when you are in the
right physical and mental condition to prevent endan-
gering yourself and other drivers.

System Intervention

Using feedback obtained from the driver’s steering pat-
terns, any buttons/switches that are pressed, and from
the front camera, the system implements two operating
logics:

•

The first operating logic takes the driving style into
account, observing the road and detecting to what
extent the driver can continue driving with few lane
crossing events.

•

The second operating logic measures the time
spent behind the wheel with the vehicle speed
above 40 mph (60 km/h) and below 100 mph
(160 km/h).

If the driving style indicates that the driver is unable to
follow the road trajectory and respect the horizontal
lane markings while within the operating speed range
of the system, a pop-up will display on the instrument
cluster display suggesting the driver stop for a break.
An audible signal will also sound.

If the driver

accepts

the suggestion provided by the sys-

tem by pushing the “OK” button on the left side of the
steering wheel, the message will disappear from the
display.

If the driver

does not acknowledge

the warning it will

be displayed for 60 seconds and then disappear.

NOTE:

In the event of a DDD system failure, a dedicated mes-
sage will appear in the instrument cluster display.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL
(EBC) SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced EBC system.
This system includes the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS),
Brake Assist System (BAS), Electronic Brake Force Dis-
tribution (EBD), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Elec-
tronic Roll Mitigation (ERM), Hill Start Assist (HSA),
Intersection Collision Assist (ICA), and Traction Control
System (TCS). These systems work together to enhance
both vehicle stability and control in various driving
conditions.

Your vehicle may also be equipped with Dynamic Steer-
ing Torque (DST), Rain Brake Support (RBS), Ready
Alert Braking (RAB), and Trailer Sway Control (TSC).

DDD Warning Message

SAFETY

Brake Assist System (BAS)

The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking
capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The
system detects an emergency braking situation by
sensing the rate and amount of brake application and
then applies optimum pressure to the brakes. This can
help reduce braking distances. The BAS complements
the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). Applying the brakes
very quickly results in the best BAS assistance. To
receive the benefit of the system, you must apply con-
tinuous braking pressure during the stopping sequence
(do not “pump” the brakes). Do not reduce brake pedal
pressure unless braking is no longer desired. Once the
brake pedal is released, the BAS is deactivated.

WARNING!

The Brake Assist System (BAS) cannot prevent the
natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor
can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing
road conditions. BAS cannot prevent collisions,
including those resulting from excessive speed in
turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplan-
ing. The capabilities of a BAS-equipped vehicle must
never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous man-
ner, which could jeopardize the user's safety or the
safety of others.

Brake System Warning Light

The red Brake System Warning Light will turn on when
the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN mode and may
stay on for as long as four seconds.

If the Brake System Warning Light remains on or comes
on while driving, it indicates that the brake system is
not functioning properly and that immediate service is
required. If the Brake System Warning Light does not
come on when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
mode, have the light repaired as soon as possible.

Electronic Brake Force Distribution

(EBD)

EBD manages the distribution of the braking torque
between the front and rear axles by limiting braking
pressure to the rear axle. This is done to prevent over-
slip of the rear wheels to avoid vehicle instability, and to
prevent the rear axle from entering ABS before the front
axle.

Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)

ERM anticipates the potential for wheel lift by monitor-
ing the driver’s steering wheel input and the speed of
the vehicle. When ERM determines that the rate of
change of the steering wheel angle and vehicle’s speed
are sufficient to potentially cause wheel lift, it then
applies the appropriate brake and may also reduce
engine power to lessen the chance that wheel lift will
occur. ERM can only reduce the chance of wheel lift
occurring during severe or evasive driving maneuvers; it
cannot prevent wheel lift due to other factors, such as
road conditions, leaving the roadway, or striking objects
or other vehicles.

NOTE:

ERM is disabled any time the ESC is in “Full Off” mode
(if equipped). See

page 229 for a complete expla-

nation of the available ESC modes.

WARNING!

Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road condi-
tions and driving conditions, influence the chance
that wheel lift or rollover may occur. ERM cannot pre-
vent all wheel lift or rollovers, especially those that
involve leaving the roadway or striking objects or
other vehicles. The capabilities of an ERM-equipped
vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dan-
gerous manner which could jeopardize the user's
safety or the safety of others.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC enhances directional control and stability of the
vehicle under various driving conditions. ESC corrects
for oversteering or understeering of the vehicle by
applying the brake of the appropriate wheel(s) to assist
in counteracting these conditions. Engine power may
also be reduced to help the vehicle maintain the
desired path.

•

Oversteer — when the vehicle is turning more than
appropriate for the steering wheel position.

•

Understeer — when the vehicle is turning less than
appropriate for the steering wheel position.

ESC uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the
vehicle path intended by the driver and compares it to
the actual path of the vehicle. When the actual path
does not match the intended path, ESC applies the
brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counteract-
ing the oversteer or understeer condition.

The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light located
in the instrument cluster will start to flash as soon as
the ESC system becomes active. The ESC Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light also flashes when the Trac-
tion Control System (TCS) is active. If the ESC

SAFETY

229

Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light begins to flash
during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and
apply as little throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your
speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions.

WARNING!

•

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) cannot prevent
the natural laws of physics from acting on the
vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by
prevailing road conditions. ESC cannot prevent
accidents, including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or
hydroplaning. ESC also cannot prevent accidents
resulting from loss of vehicle control due to inap-
propriate driver input for the conditions. Only a
safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent acci-
dents. The capabilities of an ESC equipped vehicle
must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or
the safety of others.

•

Vehicle modifications, or failure to properly main-
tain your vehicle, may change the handling charac-
teristics of your vehicle, and may negatively affect
the performance of the ESC system. Changes to
the steering system, suspension, braking system,
tire type and size or wheel size may adversely
affect ESC performance. Improperly inflated and
unevenly worn tires may also degrade ESC perfor-
mance. Any vehicle modification or poor vehicle
maintenance that reduces the effectiveness of the
ESC system can increase the risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.

ESC Operating Modes

Depending upon model and mode of operation, the ESC
system may have multiple operating modes.

ESC On

This is the normal operating mode for the ESC. When-
ever the vehicle is started, the ESC system will be in
this mode. This mode should be used for most driving
conditions. Alternate ESC modes should only be used
for specific reasons as noted in the following
paragraphs.

Partial Off

This mode may be useful if the vehicle becomes stuck.
This mode may modify TCS and ESC thresholds for acti-
vation, which allows for more wheel spin than normally
allowed.

To enter the “Partial Off” mode, momentarily push the
ESC OFF button and the ESC OFF Indicator Light will
illuminate. To turn the ESC on again, momentarily push
the ESC OFF button and the ESC OFF Indicator Light will
turn off.

NOTE:

For vehicles with multiple partial ESC modes, the push
and release of the button will toggle the ESC modes.
Multiple attempts may be required to return to "ESC On"
mode.

WARNING!

•

When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS functionality of
ESC, except for the limited slip feature described in
the TCS section, has been disabled and the ESC OFF
Indicator Light will be illuminated. When in “Partial
Off” mode, the engine power reduction feature of

•

Trailer Sway Control (TSC) is disabled when the
ESC system is in the “Partial Off” mode.

ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator

Light And ESC OFF Indicator Light

The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light in the instrument cluster will come on
when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
mode. It should go out with the engine run-

ning. If the ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
comes on continuously with the engine running, a mal-
function has been detected in the ESC system. If this
light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the
vehicle has been driven several miles (kilometers) at
speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see an autho-
rized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem
diagnosed and corrected.

The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light starts to
flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESC sys-
tem becomes active. The ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light also flashes when TCS is active. If the
ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light begins to
flash during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator
and apply as little throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt
your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions.

The ESC OFF Indicator Light indicates the
customer has elected to have the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) in a reduced mode.

230

SAFETY

NOTE:

•

The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light and the
ESC OFF Indicator Light come on momentarily each
time the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN mode.

•

Each time the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
mode, the ESC system will be on even if it was
turned off previously.

•

The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking
sounds when it is active. This is normal; the sounds
will stop when ESC becomes inactive following the
maneuver that caused the ESC activation.

Hill Descent Control (HDC) — If Equipped

HDC is intended for low speed off-road driv-
ing while in 4WD Low. HDC maintains vehicle
speed while descending hills during various
driving situations. HDC controls vehicle

speed by actively controlling the brakes.

HDC Has Three States:

1. Off (feature is not enabled and will not activate).

2. Enabled (feature is enabled and ready but activation

conditions are not met, or driver is actively overrid-
ing with brake or throttle application).

3. Active (feature is enabled and actively controlling

vehicle speed).

Enabling HDC

HDC is enabled by pushing the HDC switch, but the fol-
lowing conditions must also be met to enable HDC:

•

The driveline is in 4WD Low.

•

The vehicle speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h).

•

The parking brake is released.

•

The driver door is closed.

Activating HDC

Once HDC is enabled it will activate automatically if
driven down a grade of sufficient magnitude. The set
speed for HDC is selectable by the driver, and can be
adjusted by using the gear shift +/-. The following sum-
marizes the HDC set speeds:

HDC Target Set Speeds

•

P = No set speed. HDC may be enabled but will not
activate.

•

R = 0.6 mph (1 km/h)

•

N = 1.2 mph (2 km/h)

•

D = 0.6 mph (1 km/h)

NOTE:

During HDC the +/- shifter input is used for HDC target
speed selection, but will not affect the gear chosen by
the transmission. When actively controlling HDC the
transmission will shift appropriately for the driver-
selected set speed and corresponding driving
conditions.

Driver Override

The driver may override HDC activation with throttle or
brake application at any time.

Deactivating HDC

HDC will be deactivated but remain available if any of
the following conditions occur:

•

The driver overrides HDC set speed with throttle or
brake application.

•

The vehicle speed exceeds 20 mph (32 km/h) but
remains below 40 mph (64 km/h).

•

The vehicle is on a downhill grade of insufficient
magnitude, is on level ground, or is on an uphill
grade.

•

The vehicle is shifted to PARK.

Disabling HDC

HDC will be deactivated and disabled if any of the fol-
lowing conditions occur:

•

The driver pushes the HDC switch.

•

The driveline is shifted out of 4WD Low.

•

The parking brake is applied.

•

The driver door opens.

•

The vehicle is driven greater than 20 mph
(32 km/h) for greater than 70 seconds.

•

The vehicle is driven greater than 40 mph
(64 km/h) (HDC exits immediately).

•

HDC detects excessive brake temperature.

Feedback To The Driver

The instrument cluster has an HDC icon and the HDC
switch has an LED icon, which offers feedback to the
driver about the state HDC is in.

•

The cluster icon and switch light will illuminate and
remain on solid when HDC is enabled or activated.
This is the normal operating condition for HDC.

•

The cluster icon and switch light will flash for several
seconds, then extinguish when the driver pushes
the HDC switch but enable conditions are not met.

SAFETY

231

•

The cluster icon and switch light will flash for several
seconds, then extinguish when HDC disables due to
excess speed.

•

The cluster icon and switch light will flash when HDC
deactivates due to overheated brakes. The flashing
will stop and HDC will activate again once the
brakes have cooled sufficiently.

WARNING!

HDC is only intended to assist the driver in controlling
vehicle speed when descending hills. The driver must
remain attentive to the driving conditions and is
responsible for maintaining a safe vehicle speed.

Hill Start Assist (HSA)

HSA is designed to mitigate roll back from a complete
stop while on an incline. If the driver releases the brake
while stopped on an incline, HSA will continue to hold
the brake pressure for a short period. If the driver does
not apply the throttle before this time expires, the sys-
tem will release brake pressure and the vehicle will roll
down the hill as normal.

The following conditions must be met in order for HSA
to activate:

•

The feature must be enabled.

•

The vehicle must be stopped.

•

The parking brake must be off.

•

The driver door must be closed.

•

The vehicle must be on a sufficient grade.

•

The gear selection must match vehicle uphill direc-
tion (i.e., vehicle facing uphill is in forward gear;
vehicle backing uphill is in REVERSE (R) gear).

•

HSA will work in REVERSE gear and all forward
gears. The system will not activate if the transmis-
sion is in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).

WARNING!

There may be situations where the Hill Start Assist
(HSA) will not activate and slight rolling may occur,
such as on minor hills or with a loaded vehicle, or
while pulling a trailer. HSA is not a substitute for
active driving involvement. It is always the driver’s
responsibility to be attentive to distance to other
vehicles, people, and objects, and most importantly
brake operation to ensure safe operation of the
vehicle under all road conditions. Your complete
attention is always required while driving to maintain
safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in a collision or serious personal
injury.

Disabling And Enabling HSA

This feature can be turned on or turned off. To change
the current setting, proceed as follows:

•

If disabling HSA using your instrument cluster dis-
play, see

page 95 for further information.

•

If disabling HSA using Uconnect Settings, see

page 182 for further information.

Towing With HSA

HSA will also provide assistance to mitigate roll back
while towing a trailer.

WARNING!

•

If you use a trailer brake controller with your trailer,
the trailer brakes may be activated and deacti-
vated with the brake switch. If so, there may not be
enough brake pressure to hold both the vehicle
and the trailer on a hill when the brake pedal is
released. In order to avoid rolling down an incline
while resuming acceleration, manually activate the
trailer brake or apply more vehicle brake pressure
prior to releasing the brake pedal.

•

HSA is not a parking brake. Always apply the park-
ing brake fully when exiting your vehicle. Also, be
certain to place the transmission in PARK.

•

Failure to follow these warnings can result in a col-
lision or serious personal injury.

Rain Brake Support (RBS)

RBS may improve braking performance in wet condi-
tions. It will periodically apply a small amount of brake
pressure to remove any water buildup on the front
brake rotors. It functions when the windshield wipers
are in LO or HI speed. When RBS is active, there is no
notification to the driver and no driver interaction is
required.

Ready Alert Braking (RAB)

RAB may reduce the time required to reach full braking
during emergency braking situations. It anticipates
when an emergency braking situation may occur by
monitoring how fast the throttle is released by the
driver. The Electronic Brake Controller (EBC) will pre-
pare the brake system for a panic stop.

232

SAFETY

Selec-Speed Control (SSC) — If Equipped

Selec-Speed Control (SSC) is intended for
off-road driving in 4WD Low only. SSC main-
tains vehicle speed by actively controlling
engine torque and brakes.

SSC has three states:

1. Off (feature is not enabled and will not activate)

2. Enabled (feature is enabled and ready but activation

conditions are not met, or driver is actively overrid-
ing with brake or throttle application)

3. Active (feature is enabled and actively controlling

vehicle speed)

Enabling SSC

SSC is enabled by pushing the SSC switch, but the fol-
lowing conditions must also be met to enable SSC:

•

The driveline is in 4WD Low.

•

The vehicle speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h).

•

The parking brake is released.

•

The driver door is closed.

•

The driver is not applying throttle.

Activating SSC

Once SSC is enabled it will activate automatically once
the following conditions are met:

•

Driver releases throttle.

•

Driver releases brake.

•

Transmission is in any selection other than PARK.

•

Vehicle speed is below 20 mph (32 km/h).

The set speed for SSC is selectable by the driver, and
can be adjusted by using the gear shift +/-. Additionally,
the SSC set speed may be reduced when climbing a
grade and the level of set speed reduction depends on
the magnitude of grade. The following summarizes the
SSC set speeds:

SSC Target Set Speeds

•

1st = .6 mph (1 km/h)

•

2nd = 1.2 mph (2 km/h)

•

3rd = 1.8 mph (3 km/h)

•

4th = 2.5 mph (4 km/h)

•

5th = 3.1 mph (5 km/h)

•

6th = 3.7 mph (6 km/h)

•

7th = 4.3 mph (7 km/h)

•

8th = 5 mph (8 km/h)

•

9th = 5.6 mph (9 km/h) – If Equipped

•

REVERSE = .6 mph (1 km/h)

•

NEUTRAL = 1.2 mph (2 km/h)

•

PARK = SSC remains enabled but not active

NOTE:

•

During SSC the +/- shifter input is used for SSC tar-
get speed selection but will not affect the gear cho-
sen by the transmission. While actively controlling
SSC the transmission will shift appropriately for the
driver-selected set speed and corresponding driving
conditions.

•

SSC performance is influenced by the Select-Terrain
mode. This difference may be notable to the driver
and may be perceived as a varying level of
aggressiveness.

Driver Override:

The driver may override SSC activation with throttle or
brake application at any time.

Deactivating SSC

SSC will be deactivated but remain available if any of
the following conditions occur:

•

Driver overrides SSC set speed with throttle or brake
application

•

Vehicle speed exceeds 20 mph (32 km/h) but
remains below 40 mph (64 km/h)

•

Vehicle is shifted to PARK

Disabling SSC

SSC will deactivate and be disabled if any of the follow-
ing conditions occur:

•

The driver pushes the SSC switch.

•

The driveline is shifted out of 4WD Low.

•

The parking brake is applied.

•

The driver door opens.

•

The vehicle is driven greater than 20 mph
(32 km/h) for greater than 70 seconds.

•

The vehicle is driven greater than 40 mph
(64 km/h) (SSC exits immediately).

Feedback To The Driver:

The instrument cluster has an SSC icon and the SSC
switch has an LED which offers feedback to the driver
about the state SSC is in.

•

The cluster icon and switch light will illuminate and
remain on solid when SSC is enabled or activated.
This is the normal operating condition for SSC.

•

The cluster icon and switch light will flash for several
seconds then extinguish when the driver pushes the
SSC switch but enable conditions are not met.

SAFETY

233

•

The cluster icon and switch light will flash for several
seconds then extinguish when SSC disables due to
excess speed.

•

The cluster icon and switch light will flash then extin-
guish when SSC deactivates due to overheated
brakes.

WARNING!

SSC is only intended to assist the driver in controlling
vehicle speed when driving in off-road conditions. The
driver must remain attentive to the driving conditions
and is responsible for maintaining a safe vehicle
speed.

Traction Control System (TCS)

The TCS monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of
the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, the TCS
may apply brake pressure to the spinning wheel(s)
and/or reduce engine power to provide enhanced
acceleration and stability. A feature of the TCS, Brake
Limited Differential (BLD) functions similarly to a limited
slip differential and controls the wheel spin across a
driven axle. If one wheel on a driven axle is spinning
faster than the other, the system will apply the brake of
the spinning wheel. This will allow more engine power
to be applied to the wheel that is not spinning. BLD may
remain enabled even if the TCS and Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) are in reduced modes.

Trailer Sway Control (TSC)

TSC uses sensors in the vehicle to recognize an exces-
sively swaying trailer and will take the appropriate
actions to attempt to stop the sway. TSC will become
active automatically once an excessively swaying trailer
is recognized.

NOTE:

TSC cannot stop all trailers from swaying. Always use
caution when towing a trailer and follow the trailer
tongue weight recommendations

page 167.

When TSC is functioning, the ESC Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light will flash, the engine power
may be reduced and you may feel the brakes being
applied to individual wheels to attempt to stop the
trailer from swaying. TSC is disabled when the ESC sys-
tem is in the “Partial Off” mode.

WARNING!

If TSC activates while driving, slow the vehicle down,
stop at the nearest safe location, and adjust the
trailer load to eliminate trailer sway.

AUXILIARY DRIVING SYSTEMS

BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM)

BSM system uses two radar sensors, located inside the
rear fascia/bumper, to detect highway licensable
vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, etc.) that
enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of
the vehicle.

When the vehicle is started, the BSM Warning Light will
momentarily illuminate in both outside rearview mirrors
to let the driver know that the system is operational.
The BSM system sensors operate when the vehicle is in
any forward gear.

The BSM detection zone covers approximately one lane
in width on both sides of the vehicle 12 ft (3.8 m). The
zone length starts at the side of the vehicle, near the
B-pillar, and extends approximately 10 ft (3 m) beyond
the rear fascia/bumper of the vehicle. The BSM system
monitors the detection zones on both sides of the
vehicle when the vehicle speed is 7 mph (11 km/h) or
higher and will alert the driver of vehicles in these
areas. BSM will alert earlier on faster-approaching
vehicles – up to 33 mph (54 km/h) difference.

Rear Detection Zones

234

SAFETY

NOTE:

The BSM system detection zone DOES NOT change if
your vehicle is towing a trailer. Therefore, visually verify
the adjacent lane is clear for both your vehicle and
trailer before making a lane change. If the trailer or
other object (i.e., bicycle, sports equipment) extends
beyond the side of your vehicle, this may result in ran-
dom false detections on the trailer, and false chimes
when the turn signal is used

page 182.

The BSM system can become blocked if snow, ice, mud,
or other road contaminants accumulate on the rear
fascia/bumper where the radar sensors are located.
The system may also detect blockage if the vehicle is
operated in areas with extremely low radar returns such
as a desert or parallel to a large elevation drop. If block-
age is detected, a “Blind Spot Temporarily Unavailable,
Sensor Blocked” message will display in the cluster,
both mirror lights will illuminate, and BSM and RCP
alerts will not occur. This is normal operation. The sys-
tem will automatically recover and resume function
when the condition clears or when an ignition cycle
occurs. To minimize system blockage, do not block the
area of the rear fascia/bumper where the radar sen-
sors are located with foreign objects (bumper stickers,
bicycle racks, etc.) and keep it clear of road
contaminants.

The BSM system notifies the driver of objects in the
detection zones by illuminating the BSM Warning Light
located in the outside mirrors. In addition, when the
turn signal is activated during the alert on the side of
the vehicle corresponding to the alert, an audible
(chime) alert can be heard. During this audible (chime)
alert, the radio volume will be reduced

page 237.

The BSM system monitors the detection zone from
three different entry points (Side, Rear, Front) while
driving to see if an alert is necessary. The BSM system
will issue an alert during these types of zone entries.

Entering From The Side

Vehicles that move into your adjacent lanes from either
side of the vehicle.

Entering From The Rear

Vehicles that come up from behind your vehicle on
either side and enter the rear detection zone with a
relative speed of less than 33 mph (54 km/h). Fast
approaching vehicles will receive an earlier alert based
on relative speed.

SAFETY

235

Overtaking Traffic

If you pass another vehicle slowly with a relative speed
of less than 13 mph (24 km/h) the warning light will be
illuminated. If the difference in speed between the two
vehicles is greater than 13 mph (24 km/h), the warning
light will not illuminate.

The BSM system is designed not to issue an alert on
stationary objects such as guardrails, posts, walls, foli-
age, berms, etc. However, occasionally the system may
alert on such objects. This is normal operation and your
vehicle does not require service.

The BSM system will not alert you of objects that are
traveling in the opposite direction of the vehicle in adja-
cent lanes.

WARNING!

The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only an aid to
help detect objects in the blind spot zones. The BSM
system is not designed to detect pedestrians, bicy-
clists, or animals. Even if your vehicle is equipped
with the BSM system, always check your vehicle’s
mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and use your turn
signal before changing lanes. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.

Rear Cross Path (RCP)

RCP is intended to aid the driver when backing out of
parking spaces where their vision of oncoming vehicles
may be blocked. Proceed slowly and cautiously out of
the parking space until the rear end of the vehicle is
exposed. The RCP system will then have a clear view of
the cross traffic and if an oncoming vehicle is detected,
alert the driver.

RCP Detection Zones

236

SAFETY

RCP monitors the rear detection zones on both sides of
the vehicle, for objects that are moving toward the side
of the vehicle with a minimum speed of approximately
5 mph (8 km/h), to objects moving a maximum of
approximately 20 mph (32 km/h), such as in parking lot
situations.

NOTE:

In a parking lot situation, oncoming vehicles can be
obscured by vehicles parked on either side. If the sen-
sors are blocked by other structures or vehicles, the
system will not be able to alert the driver.

When RCP is on and the vehicle is in REVERSE, the
driver is alerted using both the visual and audible
alarms, including reducing the radio volume.

WARNING!

Rear Cross Path (RCP) Detection is not a back up aid
system. It is intended to be used to help a driver
detect an oncoming vehicle in a parking lot situation.
Drivers must be careful when backing up, even when
using RCP. Always check carefully behind your
vehicle, look behind you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions,
and blind spots before backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.

Blind Spot Modes

Three selectable modes of operation are available in
the Uconnect system

page 182.

Blind Spot Alert Lights Only

When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the BSM sys-
tem will provide a visual alert in the appropriate side
view mirror based on a detected object. However, when

the system is operating in Rear Cross Path (RCP) mode,
the system will respond with both visual and audible
alerts when a detected object is present. Whenever an
audible alert is requested, the radio is muted.

Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime

When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime mode,
the BSM system will provide a visual alert in the appro-
priate side view mirror based on a detected object. If
the turn signal is then activated, and it corresponds to
an alert present on that side of the vehicle, an audible
chime will also be sounded. Whenever a turn signal and
detected object are present on the same side at the
same time, both the visual and audible alerts will be
issued. In addition to the audible alert the radio (if on)
will also be muted.

NOTE:

Whenever an audible alert is requested by the BSM
system, the radio is also muted.

When the system is in RCP, the system shall respond
with both visual and audible alerts when a detected
object is present. Whenever an audible alert is
requested, the radio is also muted. Turn/hazard signal
status is ignored; the RCP state always requests the
chime.

Blind Spot Alert Off

When the BSM system is turned off, there will be no
visual or audible alerts from either the BSM or RCP
systems.

NOTE:

The BSM system will store the current operating mode
when the vehicle is shut off. Each time the vehicle is
started, the previously stored mode will be recalled and
used.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING
(FCW) WITH MITIGATION

FCW with Mitigation system provides the driver with
audible warnings, visual warnings (within the instru-
ment cluster display), and may apply a brake jerk to
warn the driver when it detects a potential frontal colli-
sion. The warnings and limited braking are intended to
provide the driver with enough time to react, avoid or
mitigate the potential collision.

NOTE:

FCW monitors the information from the forward looking
sensors as well as the Electronic Brake Controller
(EBC), to calculate the probability of a forward collision.
When the system determines that a forward collision is
probable, the driver will be provided with audible and
visual warnings and may provide a brake jerk warning.
If the driver does not take action based upon these pro-
gressive warnings, then the system will provide a lim-
ited level of active braking to help slow the vehicle and
mitigate the potential forward collision. If the driver
reacts to the warnings by braking and the system deter-
mines that the driver intends to avoid the collision by
braking but has not applied sufficient brake force, the
system will compensate and provide additional brake
force as required.

If a Forward Collision Warning with Mitigation event
begins at a speed below 39 mph (62 km/h), the system
may provide the maximum or partial braking to mitigate
the potential forward collision. If the Forward Collision
Warning with Mitigation event stops the vehicle com-
pletely, the system will hold the vehicle at a standstill
for two seconds and then release the brakes.

SAFETY

237

When the system determines a collision with the
vehicle in front of you is no longer probable, the
warning message will be deactivated.

NOTE:

•

The minimum speed for FCW activation is 3 mph
(5 km/h).

•

The FCW alerts may be triggered on objects other
than vehicles, such as guardrails or sign posts
based on the course prediction. This is expected
and is a part of normal FCW activation and
functionality.

•

It is unsafe to test the FCW system. To prevent such
misuse of the system, after four Active Braking
events within an ignition cycle, the Active Braking
portion of FCW will be deactivated until the next igni-
tion cycle.

•

The FCW system is intended for on-road use only. If
the vehicle is taken off-road, the FCW system should
be deactivated to prevent unnecessary warnings to
the surroundings. If the vehicle enters 4WD Low, the
FCW system will be automatically deactivated.

WARNING!

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to
avoid a collision on its own, nor can FCW detect every
type of potential collision. The driver has the respon-
sibility to avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle
via braking and steering. Failure to follow this warning
could lead to serious injury or death.

FCW Braking Status And Sensitivity

The FCW Sensitivity and Active Braking status are pro-
grammable through the Uconnect system

page 182.

The default sensitivity of FCW is the “Medium” setting
and the system status is “Warning & Braking”. This
allows the system to warn the driver of a possible colli-
sion with the vehicle in front using audible/visual warn-
ings and it applies autonomous braking.

Changing the FCW status to the “Far” setting allows the
system to warn the driver of a possible collision with the
vehicle in front using an audible/visual warning when
the latter is at a farther distance than “Medium” set-
ting. This provides the most reaction time to avoid a
possible collision.

NOTE:

The “Far” setting may result in a greater number of FCW
possible collision warnings experienced.

Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting allows
the system to warn the driver of a possible collision with
the vehicle in front when the distance between the
vehicle in the front is much closer. This setting provides
less reaction time than the “Far” and “Medium” set-
tings, which allows for a more dynamic driving
experience.

NOTE:

The “Near” setting may result in a lesser number of
FCW possible collision warnings experienced.

NOTE:

•

Changing the FCW status to “Only Warning” pre-
vents the system from providing limited active brak-
ing, or additional brake support if the driver is not
braking adequately in the event of a potential frontal
collision, but maintains the audible and visual
warnings.

•

Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the sys-
tem from providing autonomous braking, or addi-
tional brake support if the driver is not braking
adequately in the event of a potential frontal
collision.

•

The system will retain the last setting selected by
the driver after ignition shut down.

•

FCW may not react to irrelevant objects such as
overhead objects, ground reflections, objects not in
the path of the vehicle, stationary objects that are
far away, oncoming traffic, or leading vehicles with
the same or higher rate of speed.

•

FCW will be disabled like ACC, with the unavailable
screens.

FCW Message

238

SAFETY

FCW Limited Warning

If the instrument cluster displays “ACC/FCW Limited
Functionality” or “ACC/FCW Limited Functionality Clean
Front Windshield” momentarily, there may be a condi-
tion that limits FCW functionality. Although the vehicle
is still drivable under normal conditions, the active
braking may not be fully available. Once the condition
that limited the system performance is no longer pres-
ent, the system will return to its full performance state.
If the problem persists, see an authorized dealer.

Service FCW Warning

If the system turns off, and the instrument cluster dis-
plays:

•

ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Required

•

Cruise/FCW Unavailable Service Required

This indicates there is an internal system fault.
Although the vehicle is still drivable under normal condi-
tions, have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.

Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB)

PEB is a subsystem of the Forward Collision Warning
(FCW) system which provides the driver with audible
warnings and visual warnings, in the instrument cluster
display. It may apply limited automatic braking when it
detects a potential frontal collision with a
pedestrian/cyclist.

If a PEB event begins at a speed below 39 mph
(62 km/h), the system may provide maximum braking
to mitigate the potential collision with a pedestrian/
cyclist. If the PEB event stops the vehicle completely,
the system will hold the vehicle at a standstill for two
seconds and then release the brakes. When the system
determines a collision with the pedestrian/cyclist in
front of you is no longer probable, the warning message
will be deactivated.

The minimum speed for PEB activation is 3 mph
(5 km/h).

WARNING!

Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) is not intended
to avoid a collision on its own, nor can PEB detect
every type of potential collision with a pedestrian/
cyclist. The driver has the responsibility to avoid a
collision by controlling the vehicle via braking and
steering. Failure to follow this warning could lead to
serious injury or death.

Turning PEB On Or Off

NOTE:

The default status of PEB is “On.” This allows the sys-
tem to warn you of a possible frontal collision with the
pedestrian/cyclist.

The PEB button is located in the Uconnect display in the
control settings

page 182.

To turn the PEB system off, push the Pedestrian Emer-
gency Braking button once.

To turn the PEB system back on, push the Pedestrian
Emergency Braking button again.

Changing the PEB status to “Off” deactivates the sys-
tem, so no warning or active braking will be available in
case of a possible frontal collision with the
pedestrian/cyclist.

NOTE:

The PEB system will retain the last setting selected by
the driver after ignition shut down. The system will not
reset to the default setting when the vehicle is
restarted.

Intersection Collision Assist (ICA) —

If Equipped

ICA uses three front radar sensors located in the front
fascia/bumper, to detect oncoming vehicles from the
front or side when driving through an intersection.
When the system determines that a collision is prob-
able when turning across oncoming traffic, the system
will attempt to mitigate a possible collision by decelerat-
ing the vehicle. When the system determines that a
collision with a crossing vehicle is probable, the system
may apply additional braking to supplement the driver
braking input to attempt to mitigate a possible collision.
The system will also provide audible warnings and

PEB Message

SAFETY

239

visual warnings (shown in the instrument cluster). If the
driver determines acceleration is needed to avoid a
collision, when the accelerator is pressed ICA will
cancel.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)

The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure
based on the vehicle recommended cold tire pressure.

The tire pressure will vary with temperature by about
1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means that
when the outside temperature decreases, the tire pres-
sure will decrease. Tire pressure should always be set
based on cold inflation tire pressure. This is defined as
the tire pressure after the vehicle has not been driven
for at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile
(1.6 km) after a three-hour period. The tire pressure will
also increase as the vehicle is driven — this is normal
and there should be no adjustment for this increased
pressure.

For information on how to properly inflate the vehicle’s
tires, see

page 325.

The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure if
the tire pressure falls below the low pressure warning
threshold for any reason, including low temperature
effects, or natural pressure loss through the tire.

The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of low tire
pressure as long as the condition exists, and will not
turn off until the tire pressure is at or above recom-
mended cold tire pressure. Once the low tire pressure
warning has been illuminated, the tire pressure must
be increased to the recommended cold tire pressure in
order for the TPMS Warning Light to be turned off.

NOTE:

When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may need to
be increased up to an additional 4 psi (28 kPa) above
the recommended cold placard pressure in order to
turn the TPMS Warning Light off.

The system will automatically update and the TPMS
Warning Light will extinguish once the updated tire
pressures have been received. The vehicle may need to
be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h) to receive this information.

For example, your vehicle has a recommended cold
(parked for more than three hours) tire pressure of
33 psi (227 kPa). If the ambient temperature is 68°F
(20°C) and the measured tire pressure is 28 psi
(193 kPa), a temperature drop to 20°F (-7°C) will
decrease the tire pressure to approximately 24 psi
(165 kPa). This tire pressure is sufficiently low enough
to turn on the TPMS Warning Light. Driving the vehicle
may cause the tire pressure to rise to approximately
28 psi (193 kPa), but the TPMS Warning Light will still
be on. In this situation, the TPMS Warning Light will turn
off only after the tires have been inflated to the vehi-
cle’s recommended cold tire pressure value.

CAUTION!

•

The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and
warnings have been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when

•

Using aftermarket tire sealants may cause the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor to
become inoperable. After using an aftermarket tire
sealant it is recommended that you take your
vehicle to an authorized dealership to have your
sensor function checked.

•

After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure,
always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will pre-
vent moisture and dirt from entering the valve
stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System sensor.

NOTE:

•

The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire
care and maintenance, or to provide warning of a
tire failure or condition.

•

The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure
gauge while adjusting your tire pressure.

•

Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
