(ABS)

The ABS provides increased vehicle stability and

brake performance under most braking conditions.

The system 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

characteristics when the ABS activates:



The ABS motor noise or clicking sounds (you may

continue 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

Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) tires. Modification

may result in degraded ABS performance.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning

Light

The yellow ABS 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 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

ence 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 performed by qual

ified 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

YSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced

Electronic Brake Control (EBC) system. This system

includes Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Brake

Assist System (BAS), Dynamic Steering Torque

(DST), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD),

Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Electronic Roll

Mitigation (ERM), Hill Start Assist (HSA), and

Traction Control System (TCS). These systems work

together to enhance both vehicle stability and

control in various driving conditions.

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.

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

continuous 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.

Dynamic Steering Torque (DST)

DST is a feature of the ESC and Electric Power

Steering (EPS) modules that provides torque at the

steering wheel for certain driving conditions in

which the ESC module is detecting vehicle

instability. The torque that the steering wheel

receives is only meant to help the driver realize

optimal steering behavior in order to reach/

maintain vehicle stability. The only notification the

driver receives that the feature is active is the

torque applied to the steering wheel.
NOTE:

The DST feature is only meant to help the driver

realize the correct course of action through small

torques on the steering wheel, which means the

effectiveness of the DST feature is highly

dependent on the driver’s sensitivity and overall

reaction to the applied torque. It is very important

to realize that this feature will not steer the vehicle,

meaning the driver is still responsible for steering

the vehicle.

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 overslip of the rear wheels to avoid vehicle

instability, and to prevent the rear axle from

entering ABS before the front axle.

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 hydroplaning. The capabilities of a

BAS-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in

a reckless or dangerous manner, which could

jeopardize the user's safety or the safety of

others.

SAFETY

(Continued)

Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)

ERM anticipates the potential for wheel lift by

monitoring 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, striking

objects or other vehicles.

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 counteract the above 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 counteracting 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 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.

WARNING!

Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road

conditions and driving conditions, influence the

chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur. ERM

cannot prevent 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 dangerous

manner which could jeopardize the user's safety

or the safety of others.

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 condi

-

tions. ESC cannot prevent accidents, including

those resulting from excessive speed in turns,

driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro

-

planing. ESC also cannot prevent accidents

resulting from loss of vehicle control due to

inappropriate driver input for the conditions.

Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can

prevent accidents. 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.

SAFETY

177

ESC Operation Modes
To disable ESC and other active safety systems,

follow the instruction below.
There are two operation modes of active safety

systems on the vehicle:



ESC On



Partial Off

ESC On
All active safety systems are enabled. This is the

normal operating mode when driving a vehicle.
This mode should be used in most driving

conditions. The system will be in "ESC On" mode

every time the engine is started
NOTE:

You are advised to select "Partial Off " mode only

for specific driving requirements.
Partial Off
By pressing the ESC OFF button located below the

radio screen when driving, the intervention of the

ESC and TCS systems is limited to braking action

on the single wheels.
The other systems remain enabled. Activation of

this mode is indicated by the warning lamp on the

instrument panel switching on (if equipped,

together with a message on the display).
To restore "ESC On" operating mode, press the

button below the radio screen again.
"ESC On" mode will automatically reactivate every

time the engine is started.
NOTE:

When traveling on snowy roads with snow chains,

it may be helpful to activate "Partial Off" mode: in

these conditions, you can obtain better traction by

slipping the drive wheels.

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 system 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.



Vehicle modifications, or failure to properly

maintain your vehicle, may change the

handling characteristics 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 perfor

-

mance. Improperly inflated and unevenly worn

tires may also degrade ESC performance. Any

vehicle modification or poor vehicle mainte

-

nance that reduces the effectiveness of the

ESC system can increase the risk of loss of

vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal

injury and death.

WARNING!

WARNING!

When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS functionality

of ESC, except for the limited slip feature

described in the Traction Control System (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 TCS is disabled, and the enhanced

vehicle stability offered by the ESC system is

reduced.

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 vehicle 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 vehicle torque

to be applied to the wheel that is not spinning. BLD

may remain enabled even if TCS and ESC are in

reduced modes.

QUIPPED

BSM 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.

Rear Detection Zones

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

and enters standby mode when the vehicle is in

PARK.
The BSM detection zone covers approximately one

lane width on both sides of the vehicle, 10 ft (3 m).

The zone length starts at the outside mirror and

extends approximately 20 ft (6 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 reaches

approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and will

alert the driver of vehicles in these areas.

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.

SAFETY

The area on the rear fascia/bumper where the

radar sensors are located must remain free of

snow, ice, and dirt/road contamination so that the

BSM system can function properly. Do not block

the radar sensors located on the rear fascia/

bumper with foreign objects (bumper stickers,

bicycle racks, etc.).

Rear Sensor Locations

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 to

sounding an audible (chime) alert (whenever the

turn signal is activated) and reducing the radio

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, bicyclists, or animals. Even if your

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

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 1 mph (2 km/h), to objects

moving a maximum of approximately 22 mph

(35 km/h), such as in parking lot situations.
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.

NOTE:

In a parking lot situation, oncoming vehicles can be

blocked by vehicles parked on either side. If the

sensors are blocked by other structures or

vehicles, the system will not be able to alert the

driver.

Blind Spot Modes

Blind Spot has three selectable modes of

operation that are available in the Uconnect

system.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the BSM

system 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 appropriate 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 will 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.

WARNING!

RCP is not a backup 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.



A chime will turn on.



An instrument cluster message will display

“Blind Spot Monitoring Unavailable - Service

Required.”

NOTE:

The vehicle must be taken to the nearest autho

-

rized dealer for service.

The Full Brake Control system with Mitigation

provides the driver with audible warnings (through

the radio), visual warnings (within the instrument

cluster display), and may apply a brake jerk to warn

the driver when it detects a potential frontal

collision. The warnings and limited braking are

intended to provide the driver with enough time to

react, avoid or mitigate the potential collision.
NOTE:



The Full Brake Control system 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 progressive warnings, then the system

will provide a limited level of active braking to

help slow the vehicle and mitigate the potential

forward collision. If the driver reacts to the warn

-

ings by braking and the system determines 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.

After the end of the intervention of automatic

braking, the transmission may remain in last gear

stored; therefore the car could lurch forward, once

the brakes release a few seconds later. If the Full

Brake Control system event stops the vehicle

completely, the system will hold the vehicle at

standstill for two seconds and then release the

brakes.
If a Full Brake Control system event begins at a

speed below 26 mph (42 km/h), the system may

provide the maximum braking possible to mitigate

the potential forward collision. If the Full Brake

Control system event stops the vehicle completely,

the system will hold the vehicle at standstill for two

seconds and then release the brakes.
