Lane Change Alert (LCA) If equipped, the LCA system is a lane-changing aid that assists drivers with avoiding lane change crashes that occur with vehicles in the side blind zone (or spot) areas or with vehicles rapidly approaching these areas from behind. The LCA warning display will light up in the corresponding outside side mirror and will flash if the turn signal is on. The Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) system is included as part of the LCA system. See Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) on page 9-66 and Lane Change Alert (LCA) on page 9-66.

Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System If equipped, FCA may help avoid or reduce the harm caused by front-end crashes. FCA provides a green indicator, V, when a vehicle is detected ahead. This indicator displays amber if you follow a vehicle much too closely. When approaching a vehicle ahead too quickly, FCA provides a flashing red alert on the windshield and rapidly beeps or pulses the driver seat. See Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System on page 9-61.

Surround Vision If equipped, views around the vehicle are displayed to aid with parking and low-speed maneuvers. See “Surround Vision” under Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing on page 9-56. Front View Camera If equipped, a view of the area in front of the vehicle displays to aid with parking and low-speed maneuvers. See “Front View Camera” under Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing on page 9-56.

Rear Vision Camera (RVC) If equipped, RVC displays a view of the area behind the vehicle on the center stack display when the vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse) to aid with parking and low-speed backing maneuvers.

See Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing on page 9-56.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) System If equipped, the RCTA system uses a triangle with an arrow displayed on the RVC screen to warn of traffic behind your vehicle that may cross your vehicle's path while in R (Reverse). In addition, beeps will sound, or the driver seat will pulse. See Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing on page 9-56.

Parking Assist If equipped, Front and Rear Parking Assist (FRPA) uses sensors on the front and rear bumpers to assist with parking and avoiding objects during low speed parking maneuvers. It operates at speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph). FRPA may display a warning triangle on the Rear Vision Camera screen and a graphic on the instrument cluster to provide the object distance. In

addition, multiple beeps or seat pulses may occur if very close to an object. The vehicle may also have a higher speed Backing Warning System and the Rear Automatic Braking system. See Driver Assistance Systems on page 9-55.

Rear Automatic Braking (RAB) System If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) it also has the Rear Automatic Braking (RAB) system, which is designed to help avoid or reduce the harm caused by backing crashes when the vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse). If the system detects the vehicle is backing too fast to avoid a crash with a detected object behind your vehicle in your path, it may automatically brake hard to a stop.

Performance and Maintenance

Traction Control/ Electronic Stability Control The vehicle has a traction control system that limits wheel spin and the StabiliTrak system that assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. Both systems come on automatically when the vehicle is started and begins to move.

To turn off traction control, press and release g on the center stack. The traction off light i displays in the instrument cluster. The appropriate Driver Information Center (DIC) message displays. See Ride Control System Messages on page 5-41.

To turn off both traction control and StabiliTrak, press and hold g until i and g illuminate in the instrument cluster and the appropriate DIC message displays. See Ride Control System Messages on page 5-41.

. Press and release g again to

turn on both systems.

. StabiliTrak will automatically turn

on if the vehicle exceeds 56 km/h (35 mph). Traction control will remain off.

See Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control on page 9-42.

Tire Pressure Monitor This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).

The low tire pressure warning light alerts to a significant loss in pressure of one of the vehicle's tires. If the warning light comes on, stop as soon as possible and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label. See Vehicle Load Limits on page 9-14. The warning light will remain on until the tire pressure is corrected. The low tire pressure warning light may come on in cool weather when the vehicle is first started, and then turn off as the vehicle is driven. This may be an early indicator that the tire pressures are getting low and the tires need to be inflated to the proper pressure.

In Brief

The TPMS does not replace normal monthly tire maintenance. Maintain the correct tire pressures. See Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 10-47.

Engine Oil Life System The engine oil life system calculates engine oil life based on vehicle use and displays the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message when it is time to change the engine oil and filter. The oil life system should be reset to 100% only following an oil change.

Resetting the Oil Life System 1. Using the DIC controls on the

right side of the steering wheel, display OIL LIFE on the DIC. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 5-27. When remaining oil life is low, the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will appear on the display. See Engine Oil Messages on page 5-37.

2. Press SEL on the DIC controls

and hold SEL down for a few seconds to clear the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message and reset the oil life at 100%. Be careful not to reset the oil life display accidentally at any time other than after the oil is changed. It cannot be reset accurately until the next oil change.

The oil life system can also be reset as follows: 1. Turn the ignition on with the

engine off.

2. Fully press and release the

accelerator pedal three times within five seconds. If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message is not on, the system is reset.

See Engine Oil Life System on page 10-8.

Driving for Better Fuel Economy Driving habits can affect fuel mileage. Here are some driving tips to get the best fuel economy possible. . Avoid fast starts and accelerate

smoothly.

. Brake gradually and avoid

abrupt stops.

. Avoid idling the engine for long

periods of time.

. When road and weather

conditions are appropriate, use cruise control.

. Always follow posted speed

limits or drive more slowly when conditions require.

. Keep vehicle tires properly

inflated.

. Combine several trips into a

single trip.

. Replace the vehicle's tires with

the same TPC Spec number molded into the tire's sidewall near the size. Follow recommended scheduled maintenance.
