LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (If Equipped)

This axle provides added traction on slippery surfaces, particularly when one wheel is on a poor traction surface. Under normal conditions, the limited-slip axle functions like a standard rear axle. The axle may exhibit a slight noise or vibration during tight turns with low vehicle speed. This is normal behavior and indicates the axle is working. Traction-Lok™ and TORSEN™ Axles (If Equipped) These axles provide improved traction on slippery and loose surfaces, particularly when one wheel is on a poor traction surface. Under normal conditions, these axles function like a standard rear axle. Extended use of tire sizes other than the manufacturer’s specified tire size on these axles could result in a permanent reduction in effectiveness. This loss does not affect your normal driving and should not be noticeable.

Brakes

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 turn the ignition on. If the light does not illuminate during start up, remains on or flashes, the 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.

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

checked by an authorized dealer.

HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES Note: When the system is operating, the brake pedal will pulse and may travel further. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal. You may also hear a noise from the system. This is normal. The anti-lock braking system will 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.

• • • PARKING BRAKE

WARNINGS

If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be

working properly. See your authorized dealer as soon as possible.

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 your 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 Alloy Wheels (page 233).

See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 80).

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

E144522E144522Brakes

When the system is active, your vehicle will remain stationary on the slope for two to three seconds after you release the brake pedal. This allows you time to move your foot from the brake to the accelerator pedal. The brakes are released automatically once the engine has developed sufficient drive to prevent your vehicle from rolling down the slope. This is an advantage when pulling away on a slope, for example from a car park ramp, traffic lights or when reversing uphill into a parking space. The system will activate automatically on any slope that will cause significant vehicle rollback. For vehicles with a manual transmission, you can switch this feature off using the information display. See Information Displays (page 84). The system will remain on or off depending on how it was last set. Note: The system only functions when you bring your vehicle to a complete stop. Shift into reverse (R) when facing downhill and first gear (1) when facing uphill. Note: There is no warning lamp to indicate the system is either on or off. Using Hill Start Assist 1. Press the brake pedal to bring your

vehicle to a complete standstill. Keep the brake pedal pressed. If the sensors detect that your vehicle is on a slope, the system will activate automatically.

2.

3. When you remove your foot from the brake pedal, your vehicle will remain on the slope without rolling away for about two or three seconds. This hold time will automatically be extended if you are in the process of driving off. 4. Drive off in the normal manner. The

brakes will release automatically.

WARNINGS

Always set the parking brake fully and make sure that the transmission is securely latched in park (P)

(automatic transmission) or first gear (1) (manual transmission).

To set the parking brake, pull the parking brake handle up as far as possible. To release the parking brake: 1. Press and hold the button located at the end of the parking brake handle. 2. Pull the handle up slightly, then push

the handle down.

HILL START ASSIST WARNINGS

The system does not replace the parking brake. When you leave your vehicle, always apply the parking

brake and shift the transmission into park (P) for automatic transmission or first gear for manual transmission.

You must remain in your vehicle once you have activated the system. During all times, you are responsible for controlling your vehicle, supervising the system and

intervening, if required.

If the engine is revved excessively, or if a malfunction is detected, the system will be deactivated.

The system makes it easier to pull away when your vehicle is on a slope without the need to use the parking brake.

Switching the System On and Off Vehicles with Manual Transmission You can switch this feature on or off in the information display. The system remembers the last setting when you start your vehicle. Vehicles with Automatic Transmission You cannot turn the system on or off. When you switch the ignition on, the system automatically turns on.

143

Mustang (CZG), enUSA, Third Printing

Traction Control

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 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 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.

Mustang (CZG), enUSA, Third Printing

Switching the System Off

The switch for the stability and traction control system is on the instrument panel. When you switch the system off, a message and an illuminated icon appear on the instrument cluster. Use the switch again to return the traction control system to normal operation. Your vehicle may have MyKey restrictions regarding this feature. See Principle of Operation (page 52). System Indicator Lights and Messages

The AdvanceTrac Control system helps you keep control of your vehicle when on a slippery surface. The electronic stability control portion of the system helps avoid skids and lateral slides. The traction control system helps avoid drive wheel spin and loss of traction. See Using Traction Control (page 144).

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNINGS

Vehicle modifications involving braking system, aftermarket roof racks, suspension, steering system, tire construction and wheel and tire size may change the handling characteristics of the vehicle and may adversely affect the performance of the AdvanceTrac system. In addition, installing any stereo loudspeakers may interfere with and adversely affect the AdvanceTrac 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 AdvanceTrac sensors. Reducing the effectiveness of the AdvanceTrac system could lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.

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 AdvanceTrac 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 AdvanceTrac system activates, SLOW DOWN.

If a failure has been detected within the traction control system, the stability control light will illuminate

steadily. Verify that the traction control system was not manually disabled using the stability control button. If the stability control light still illuminates steadily, have

Parking Aids

Note: If your vehicle is equipped with MyKey, it is possible to prevent turning the sensing system off. See Principle of Operation (page 52). The sensing system warns the driver of obstacles within a certain range of the bumper area. The system turns on automatically whenever the ignition is switched on. When receiving a detection warning, the radio volume is reduced to a predetermined level. After the warning goes away, the radio volume returns to the previous level. Rear Sensing System The rear sensors are only active when the transmission is in reverse (R). As your vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the rate of the audible warning increases. When the obstacle is fewer than 12 in (30 cm) away, the warning sounds continuously. If a stationary or receding object is detected farther than 12 in (30 cm) from the side of your vehicle, the tone sounds for only three seconds. Once the system detects an object approaching, the warning sounds again. The coverage area is up to 6 ft (1.8 m) from the rear bumper. There is decreased coverage area at the outer corners of the bumper.

PARKING AID

WARNINGS

To help avoid personal injury, please read and understand the limitations of the system as contained in this section. Sensing is only an aid for some (generally large and fixed) objects when moving on a flat surface at parking speeds. Certain objects with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves, traffic control systems, fluorescent lamps, inclement weather, air brakes, and external motors and fans may also affect the function of the sensing system; this may include reduced performance or a false activation.

To help avoid personal injury, always use caution when in reverse (R) and when using the sensing system. This system is not designed to prevent contact with small or moving objects. The system is designed to provide a warning to assist the driver in detecting large stationary objects to avoid damaging the vehicle. The system may not detect smaller objects, particularly those close to the ground.

Certain add-on devices such as large trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks and any device that may block the

normal detection zone of the system, may create false beeps.

Note: Keep the sensors, located 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 alarms.

Parking Aids

The system can be switched off through the information display. If a fault is present in the system, a warning message appears in the information display and will not allow you to switch the faulted system on. REAR VIEW CAMERA WARNINGS

The rear view camera system is a reverse aid supplement device that still requires the driver to use it in

conjunction with the interior and exterior mirrors for maximum coverage.

You may not see objects that are close to either corner of the bumper or under the bumper due to the

limited coverage of the camera system. Back up as slow as possible since higher speeds might limit your reaction time to stop your vehicle. Use caution when using the rear video camera and the luggage compartment is ajar. If the luggage compartment is ajar, the camera will be out of position and the video image may be incorrect. All guidelines are removed when the luggage compartment is ajar. Use caution when turning camera features on or off. Make sure your vehicle is not moving.

The rear view camera system provides a video image of the area behind your vehicle. During operation, lines appear in the display which represent your vehicle’s path and proximity to objects behind your vehicle.

The system detects certain objects while the transmission is in reverse (R): • Moving toward a stationary object at

a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less. • Not moving, and a moving object is

approaching the rear of your vehicle at a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less.

• Moving at a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h)

while another moving object is approaching the rear of the vehicle at a speed of less than 3 mph (5 km/h). The system provides audio warnings only when the vehicle is moving or when the vehicle is stationary and the detected obstacle is fewer than 12 in (30 cm) away from the bumper. The system provides obstacle distance indication through the center stack display (if equipped). The distance indication will be present when the transmission is in reverse (R). • As the distance to the obstacle

decreases (obstacle becomes closer) the indicator blocks will illuminate and move towards the vehicle icon. If there is no obstacle detected, the distance indicator blocks will be grayed out.

•

150

E130178Parking Aids

The camera may not operate correctly under the following conditions: • Nighttime or dark areas if the reverse

lamps are not operating.

• Mud, water or debris obstructs the

camera's view. Clean the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner. The camera is misaligned due to damage to the rear of your vehicle.

•

Camera Guidelines Note: Active guidelines are only available when the transmission is in reverse (R). Note: Upon a battery disconnect, the active guidelines may not be functional until your vehicle has been driven a short distance and exceeds a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h).

The camera is located on the luggage compartment door. Using the Rear View Camera System The rear view camera system displays what is behind your vehicle when you place the transmission in reverse (R). Note: The reverse sensing system is not effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h) and may not detect certain angular or moving objects. The system uses two types of guides to help you see what is behind your vehicle: Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path • your vehicle is moving in while reversing in a straight line. This can be helpful when backing into a parking space or aligning your vehicle with another object behind you.

• Centerline: Helps align the center of

your vehicle with an object.

Note: If the transmission is in reverse (R) and the luggage compartment is open, no camera features will display.

Always use caution while reversing. Objects in the red zone are closest to your vehicle and objects in the green zone are farther away. Objects are getting closer to your vehicle as they move from the green zone to the yellow or red zones. Use the side view mirrors and rear view mirror to get better coverage on both sides and rear of your vehicle. Manual Zoom

WARNING

When manual zoom is on, the full area behind your vehicle does not show. Be aware of your surroundings

when using the manual zoom feature.

Note: Manual zoom is only available when the transmission is in reverse (R). Note: When manual zoom is enabled, only the centerline is shown. Selectable settings for this feature are Zoom in (+) and Zoom out (-). Press the symbol in the camera screen to change the view. The default setting is Zoom OFF. This feature allows you to get a closer view of an object behind your vehicle. The zoomed image keeps the bumper in the image to provide a reference. The zoom is only active while the transmission is in reverse (R). When the transmission shifts out of reverse (R), the feature automatically turns off and must be reset when it is used again. Camera System Settings To access any of the rear view camera system settings, make the following selections in the multifunctional display when the transmission is not in reverse (R):

Active guidelines Centerline Fixed guideline: Green zone Fixed guideline: Yellow zone Fixed guideline: Red zone Rear bumper

Active guidelines only show with fixed guidelines. To use active guidelines, turn the steering wheel to point the guidelines toward an intended path. If the steering wheel position changes while reversing, your vehicle might deviate from the original intended path. The fixed and active guidelines fade in and out depending on the steering wheel position. The active guidelines do not show when the steering wheel position is straight.

Following a Vehicle

WARNINGS

When you are following a vehicle, your vehicle does not automatically decelerate to a stop, nor does your vehicle always decelerate quickly enough to avoid a crash without driver intervention. Always apply the brakes when necessary. Failing to do so may result in a crash, serious injury or death.

Adaptive cruise control only warns of vehicles detected by the radar sensor. In some cases there may be

no warning or a delayed warning. You should always apply the brakes when necessary. Failing to do so may result in a crash, serious injury or death.

Note: The brakes may emit a sound when modulated by the adaptive cruise control system. When a vehicle ahead of you enters the same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in the same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts to maintain a preset gap distance. Note: When you are following a vehicle and you switch on a direction indicator, adaptive cruise control may provide a small temporary acceleration to help you pass. Your vehicle maintains a constant gap between the vehicle ahead until: •

The vehicle in front of you accelerates to a speed above the set speed. The vehicle in front of you moves out of your lane or out of view. The vehicle speed falls below 12 mph (20 km/h).

•

•

• A new gap distance is set. The system applies the brakes to slow your vehicle to maintain a safe gap distance from the vehicle in front. You can override the system by applying the brakes.

Resuming the Set Speed Note: Only use resume if you are aware of the set speed and intend to return to it. Press and release RES. The vehicle returns to the previously set speed. The set speed continuously displays while the system is active. Automatic Cancellation The system is not functional at vehicle speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h). An audible alarm sounds and the automatic braking releases if your vehicle drops below this speed. The system cancels at low speeds if you switch off electronic stability control. Hilly Condition Usage You should select a lower gear position when the system is active in situations such as prolonged downhill driving on steep grades, for example in mountainous areas. The system needs additional engine braking in these situations to reduce the load on the vehicle’s regular brake system to prevent them from overheating. Note: An audible alarm sounds and the system shuts down if it is applying brakes for an extended period of time. This allows the brakes to cool down. The system functions normally again when the brakes have cooled down. Switching the System Off Press and release OFF when the system is in stand by mode or switch off the ignition. Note: You erase the set speed when you switch the system off.

Canceling the Set Speed Press and release CNCL or tap the brake pedal. The last set speed displays in grey but does not erase. Overriding the set speed

WARNING

If the system is overridden by pressing the accelerator pedal, it does not automatically apply the

brakes to maintain a gap from any vehicle ahead.

You can override the set speed and gap distance by pressing the accelerator pedal. When you override the system, the green indicator light illuminates. The vehicle graphic does not appear in the

information display. The system resumes operation when you release the accelerator pedal. The vehicle speed decreases to the set speed, or a lower speed if following a slower vehicle. Changing the Set Speed • Accelerate or brake to the desired

speed, then press and release SET+. • Press and hold SET+ or SET- until the desired set speed shows on the information display. The vehicle speed gradually changes to the set speed.

On rare occasions, detection issues can occur due to the road infrastructures, for example bridges, tunnels and safety barriers. In these cases, the system may brake late or unexpectedly. At all times, you are responsible for controlling your vehicle, supervising the system and intervening, if required.

The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. It may not detect vehicles at all or detect a vehicle later than expected in some situations. The vehicle graphic does not appear in the information display if the system does not detect a vehicle in front of you.

Detection issues can occur:

With vehicles that edge into your lane that can only be detected once they have moved fully into your lane. Motorcyclists may be detected late, or not at all. With vehicles in front of you when going into and coming out of a bend. The detection beam does not follow sharp curves in the road.

In these cases the system may brake late or unexpectedly. You should stay alert and intervene if necessary. If something hits the front end of your vehicle or damage occurs, the radar-sensing zone may change. This could cause missed or false vehicle detections. See an authorized dealer to have the radar checked for proper coverage and operation. System Not Available Conditions that can cause the system to deactivate or prevent the system from activating when requested include: • A blocked sensor. • High brake temperature. • A failure in the system or a related

system.

Blocked Sensor

WARNINGS

Do not use the system when towing a trailer with brake controls. Aftermarket trailer brakes will not operate when you switch the system on because the brakes are electronically controlled. Failure to do so may result in loss of vehicle control, which could result in serious injury.

WARNINGS

Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended because this can affect the normal operation of the

system. Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control, which could result in serious injury.

A message displays if something obstructs the radar signals from the sensor. The sensor is located on the lower grille. The system cannot detect a vehicle ahead and does not function when something obstructs the sensor.

The following table lists possible causes and actions for this message displaying.

Cause

Action

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

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

Heavy rain or snow is interfering with the radar signals.

Clean the grille surface in front of the radar or remove the object causing the obstruc- tion. Wait a short time. It may take several minutes for the radar to detect that it is free from obstruction. Do not use the system in these conditions because it may not detect any vehicles ahead. Do not use the system in these conditions because it may not detect any vehicles ahead.

Swirling water, or snow or ice on the surface of the road may interfere with the radar signals. It is possible to get a blockage warning and not be blocked. A false blocked condition self clears or clears after a key cycle.

You can manually change from adaptive cruise control to normal cruise control through the information display.

Switching to Normal Cruise Control

WARNING

Normal cruise control does not brake due to slower vehicles. Always be aware of which mode you have selected and apply the brakes when necessary.

WARNING

To help avoid personal injury, NEVER use the cross traffic alert system as a replacement for using the interior and exterior mirrors and looking over your shoulder before backing out of a parking space. Cross traffic alert is not a replacement for careful driving.

Cross traffic alert warns you of vehicles approaching from the sides when the transmission is in reverse (R). Note: The Blind Spot Information System does not prevent contact with other vehicles or objects; nor does it detect parked vehicles, people, animals or infrastructure (fences, guardrails or trees). It only alerts you to vehicles in the blind zones. Note: When a vehicle passes quickly through the blind zone, the system may not trigger. Using the Systems The Blind Spot Information System turns on when you start the engine and you drive your vehicle forward above 5 mph (8 km/h), it remains on while the transmission is in drive (D) or neutral (N). If shifted into reverse (R), the system enters cross traffic alert mode. Once shifted back into drive (D), the Blind Spot Information System turns back on when you drive your vehicle above 5 mph (8 km/h). Note: The Blind Spot Information System does not function in reverse (R) or park (P). Note: Cross traffic alert detects approaching vehicles and bicycles from up to 131 ft (40 m) away though coverage decreases when the sensors are blocked. Reversing slowly helps increase the coverage area and effectiveness.

BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM Blind Spot Information System (BLIS™) with Cross Traffic Alert (If Equipped)

WARNING

To help avoid injuries, NEVER use the Blind Spot Information System as a replacement for using the interior

and exterior mirrors and looking over your shoulder before changing lanes. The Blind Spot Information System is not a replacement for careful driving.

The Blind Spot Information System aids you in detecting vehicles that may have entered the blind spot zone (A). The detection area is on both sides of your vehicle, extending rearward from the exterior mirrors to approximately 23 ft (7 m) beyond the bumper. The system alerts you if certain vehicles enter the blind spot zone while driving.

AAE124788Driving Aids

Note: For manual transmission vehicles, the cross traffic alert will be active only if the transmission is in reverse (R). If your vehicle is rolling backward and the transmission is not in reverse (R) then cross traffic alert will not be active.

In this first example, the left sensor is only partially obstructed; zone coverage is nearly maximized.

163

Mustang (CZG), enUSA, Third Printing

E142440E142441Driving Aids

Zone coverage also decreases when parking at shallow angles. Here, the left sensor is mostly obstructed; zone coverage on that side is severely limited. System Lights and Messages

Note: It is possible to get a blockage warning with no blockage present; this is rare and known as a false blockage warning. A false blocked condition either self-corrects or clears after a key cycle.

The Blind Spot Information and cross traffic alert systems illuminate a yellow alert indicator in the outside mirror on the side of your vehicle the approaching vehicle is coming from. In addition, the yellow alert indicator will flash if the direction indicator is ON while a Blind Spot Warning System alert is active. Cross traffic alert also sounds a series of tones and a message appears in the information display indicating a vehicle is coming from the right or left. System Sensors

WARNING

Just prior to the system recognizing a blocked condition and alerting the driver, the number of missed objects will increase. To help avoid injuries, NEVER use the Blind Spot Information System as a replacement for using the side and rear view mirrors and looking over your shoulder before changing lanes. The Blind Spot Information System is not a replacement for careful driving.

164

Mustang (CZG), enUSA, Third Printing

The system uses radar sensors which are located behind the bumper fascia on each side of your vehicle. Do not allow mud, snow or bumper stickers to obstruct these areas, this can cause degraded system performance. If the system detects a degraded performance condition, a message warning of a blocked sensor or low visibility will appear in the information display along with a warning indicator. You can clear the information display warning but the warning indicator will remain illuminated.

E142442E205199Driving Aids

The following are other situations that may limit the cross traffic alert system: • Adjacently parked vehicles or objects

obstructing the sensors.

• Approaching vehicles passing at

speeds greater than 37 mph (60 km/h).

• Driving in reverse faster than 7 mph

(12 km/h). Backing out of an angled parking spot.

• False Alerts Note: If your vehicle has a factory equipped tow bar and it is towing a trailer, the sensors will detect the trailer and turn the Blind Spot Information and cross traffic alert systems off to avoid false alerts. For non-factory equipped tow bars, you may want to switch the Blind Spot Information System off manually. There may be certain instances when there is a false alert by either the Blind Spot Information or the cross traffic alert system that illuminates the alert indicator with no vehicle in the coverage zone. Some amount of false alerts are normal; they are temporary and self-correct. System Errors If either system senses a problem with the left or right sensor, the Blind Spot Information System telltale will illuminate and a message will appear in the information display. All other system faults will display only with a message in the information display. See Information Messages (page 92).

When you remove a blockage, you can reset the system in two ways: • While driving, the system detects at

least two objects. You cycle the ignition from on to off and then back on.

•

If the blockage is still present after the key cycle and driving in traffic, check again for a blockage.

Reasons for messages being displayed The radar Clean the fascia area in surface is dirty or

front of the radar or remove

the obstruction.

obstructed The radar surface is not dirty or obstructed

Drive normally in traffic for a few minutes to allow the

radar to detect passing

vehicles so it can clear the

blocked state.

Heavy rain-

fall or snowfall interferes with the radar signals

No action required. The system automatically resets to an unblocked state once the rainfall or snowfall rate decreases or stops. Do not use the Blind Spot Information System or cross traffic alert in these

conditions.

System Limitations The Blind Spot Information and cross traffic alert systems do have their limitations; situations such as severe weather conditions or debris build-up on the sensor area may limit vehicle detection. The following are other situations that may limit the Blind Spot Information System: • Vehicles passing through the blind zone

at very quickly.

• When several vehicles closely following each other pass through the blind zone.

Driving Aids

If your vehicle loses electrical power while you are driving, electric power steering assistance is lost. The steering system still operates and you can steer your vehicle manually. Manually steering your vehicle requires more effort. Extreme continuous steering may increase the effort required for you to steer your vehicle. This increased effort prevents overheating and permanent damage to the steering system. You do not lose the ability to steer your vehicle manually. Typical steering and driving maneuvers allow the system to cool and return to normal operation. Steering Tips If the steering wanders or pulls, check for: • Correct tire pressures. • Uneven tire wear. •

Loose or worn suspension components. Loose or worn steering components. Improper vehicle alignment.

• • Note: A high crown in the road or high crosswinds may also make the steering seem to wander or pull. Adaptive Learning The electronic power steering system adaptive learning helps correct road irregularities and improves overall handling and steering feel. It communicates with the brake system to help operate advanced stability control and accident avoidance systems. Additionally, whenever the battery is disconnected or a new battery installed, you must drive your vehicle a short distance before the system relearns the strategy and reactivates all systems.

Switching the Systems Off and On You can temporarily switch off one or both systems in the information display. See General Information (page 84). When you switch off the Blind Spot Information System, you will not receive alerts and the information display shows a system off message. Note: The cross traffic alert system always turns on whenever the ignition is switched on. However, the Blind Spot Information System will remember the last selected on or off setting. You cannot switch one or both systems off when MyKey is used. See Principle of Operation (page 52). You can also have one or both systems switched off permanently at an authorized dealer. Once switched off, only an authorized dealer can switch the system back on. 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 by an authorized dealer.

Your vehicle has an electric power steering system. There is no fluid reservoir. No maintenance is required.

Driving Aids

If it is, a red warning light illuminates and an audible warning chime sounds. The brake support system assists the driver in reducing the collision speed by charging the brakes. If the risk of collision further increases after the warning light illuminates, the brake support prepares the brake system for rapid braking. This may be apparent to the driver. The system does not automatically activate the brakes but, if the brake pedal is pressed, full force braking is applied even if the brake pedal is lightly pressed. Using the Collision Warning System

WARNING

The collision warning system’s brake support can only help reduce the speed at which a collision occurs if the driver applies the vehicle’s brakes. The brake pedal must be pressed just like any typical braking situation.

The warning system sensitivity can be adjusted to one of three possible settings by using the information display control. See General Information (page 84). Note: If collision warnings are perceived as being too frequent or disturbing then the warning sensitivity can be reduced, though the manufacturer recommends using the highest sensitivity setting where possible. Setting lower sensitivity would lead to fewer and later system warnings. See General Information (page 84).

COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM (If Equipped) PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNINGS

This system is designed to be a supplementary driving aid. It is not intended to replace the driver’s

attention, and judgment, or the need to apply the brakes. This system does NOT activate the brakes automatically. Failure to press the brake pedal to activate the brakes may result in a collision.

The collision warning system with brake support cannot help prevent all collisions. Do not rely on this

system to replace driver judgment and the need to maintain distance and speed.

Note: The system does not detect, warn or respond to potential collisions with vehicles to the rear or sides of the vehicle. Note: The collision warning system is active at speeds above approximately 5 mph (8 km/h).

This system is designed to alert the driver of certain collision risks. A radar detects if your vehicle is rapidly approaching another vehicle traveling in the same direction as yours.

Driving Aids

If a message regarding a blocked sensor appears in the information display, the radar signals from the sensor have been obstructed. The sensors are located behind a fascia cover near the driver side of the lower grille. When the sensors are obstructed, a vehicle ahead cannot be detected and the collision warning system does not function. The following table lists possible causes and actions for this message being displayed.

LOAD LIMIT Vehicle Loading - with and without a Trailer This section will guide you in the proper loading of your vehicle, trailer or both, to keep your loaded vehicle weight within its design rating capability, with or without a trailer. Properly loading your vehicle will provide maximum return of vehicle design performance. Before loading your vehicle, familiarize yourself with

the following terms for determining your vehicle’s weight ratings, with or without a trailer, from the vehicle’s Tire Label or Safety Compliance Certification Label: Base Curb Weight - is the weight of the vehicle including full fluids and all standard equipment. It does not include passengers, cargo, or optional equipment. Vehicle Curb Weight - is the weight of your new vehicle when you picked it up from your authorized dealer plus any aftermarket equipment.

Tire Label is the maximum payload for the vehicle as built by the assembly plant. If you install any aftermarket or authorized-dealer installed equipment on the vehicle, you must subtract the weight of the equipment from the payload listed on the Tire Label in order to determine the new payload.

Payload - is the combined weight of cargo and passengers that the vehicle is carrying. The maximum payload for your vehicle can be found on the Tire Label on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver door (vehicles exported outside the US and Canada may not have a Tire Label). Look for “THE COMBINED WEIGHT OF OCCUPANTS AND CARGO SHOULD NEVER EXCEED XXX kg OR XXX lb.” for maximum payload. The payload listed on the
