Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control that may lead to an accident,
severe personal injury, and death. The driver’s primary responsibility is in the safe and legal operation of a vehicle, and use of any handheld devices, other equipment, or vehicle systems
which take the driver’s eyes, attention, and focus away from the safe operation of a vehicle or which are not permissible by law should never be used during operation of the vehicle.

Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
9
When driving down a steep slope, the DBC feature is designed to help make it easier to slowly
and safely negotiate such terrain without having to use excessive brake pedal force.
The DBC select button
A
must be actively selected by depressing the button (button pictured
left) prior to starting your descent. This system can be cancelled by pressing the DBC select
button for a second time, or it will be automatically cancelled if the vehicle is accelerated to a
speed above 38 MPH.
You may notice a slight spring-type noise or feel a mild vibration while the DBC is engaged and
operating; however, this is completely normal.
USB Ports and Use of Cables
Vehicle may contain USB port(s) for transferring data or playing music from a compatible media
device
A
, as well as USB port(s) designed for fast charging
B
.
Note:
Devices will only charge while the vehicle is in ACC/ON/Start position.
If you encounter difficulty plugging in a compatible USB device, change the orientation of
the device (may be upside down). Always use the USB charging cable that has been certified
by the device manufacturer. Use of aftermarket cables is NOT recommended as they may
impact functionality.
Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
9
The HAC system is designed to help prevent the vehicle from rolling backward on an inclined surface. This system is a supplemental
system only, and does not replace the need to apply brakes depending on road and traffic conditions. HAC holds the braking pressure
for 2 seconds after releasing the brake pedal. During the pressure-hold period, the system is designed to help provide the driver with
enough time to press the accelerator pedal to drive off.
Wireless Smartphone Charging System*
10
1. System must be enabled in instrument cluster settings menu, and all doors must be closed
for it to function.
2. Place a compatible smartphone on the center of the charging pad.
3. Indicator light
A
will change to amber once the wireless charging begins.
4. Once charging is complete, the amber light will change to green.
Condensation Inside Exterior Vehicle Lights
Your vehicle’s exterior lights with clear lenses are vented to the atmosphere to release pressure as the air inside heats and cools. When
humid/moist air enters the headlight/tail light, the moisture may condense on the lens surface and appear as fogging or water droplets.
This is a normal condition and the moisture will evaporate when the lights are turned ON or when the temperature increases.
Rear View Monitor (RVM)
7
The Rear View Monitor is a supplemental system that displays the view behind the vehicle
through the audio head unit screens while the vehicle is in Reverse.
The RVM activates when the:
1. Vehicle is ON or running.
2. Gear Shift Lever is in the R (Reverse) position.
Reminders:
Through normal use and after inclement weather or washing, the rear camera may become dirty.
Use a clean microfiber cloth to remove any dirt, debris, or spots that may have accumulated on
the lens.
While RVM is active, the volume will be lowered on all audio modes.
