STARTING AND OPERATING 185

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING

This only operates with the key turned to MAR/ON and

the engine started. The steering allows the force required at

the steering wheel to be adjusted to suit driving conditions.

NOTE: When turning the ignition key quickly, full power

steering functionality can be achieved after a few seconds.

SPEED CONTROL

When engaged, the Speed Control takes over accelerator

operations at speeds greater than 25 mph (40 km/h).

6

The Speed Control buttons are located on the right side of

the steering wheel.

Speed Control Buttons

1 — SET (+)/Accel

2 — RES/Resume

3 — On/Off

4 — SET (-)/Decel

5 — CANC/Cancel

NOTE: In order to ensure proper operation, the Speed

Control system has been designed to shut down if multiple

Speed Control functions are operated at the same time. If

this occurs, the Speed Control system can be reactivated by

pushing the Speed Control on/off button and resetting the

desired vehicle set speed.

Using Speed Control On Hills

U.S. Speed (mph)

The transmission may downshift on hills to maintain the

vehicle set speed.

• Pushing the SET (-) button once will result in a 1 mph

decrease in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the button

results in a decrease of 1 mph.

NOTE: The Speed Control system maintains speed up and

down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills is

normal.

• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will

continue to decrease until the button is released, then the

new set speed will be established.

On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so it

may be preferable to drive without Speed Control.

188 STARTING AND OPERATING

REAR PARK ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED

WARNING!

The Rear Park Assist system provides an audible indication

of the distance between the rear fascia/bumper and a

detected obstacle when backing up, e.g. during a parking

maneuver, as well as visual indications in the instrument

cluster display.

Speed Control can be dangerous where the system

cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could

go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose

control and have an accident. Do not use Speed Control

in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy,

snow-covered or slippery.

Rear Park Assist is automatically activated when the

transmission is placed into REVERSE. As the distance from

an obstacle behind the vehicle decreases, the audible alert

becomes more frequent.

To Resume Speed

To resume a previously set speed, push the RES button and

release. Resume can be used at any speed above 25 mph

(40 km/h).

Refer to the “Park Assist System Usage Precautions” for the

limitations of this system and recommendations.

To Deactivate

Interaction With Trailer Towing

A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing the CANC button,

or normal brake pressure while slowing the vehicle will

deactivate the Speed Control without erasing the set speed

from memory.

The Rear Park Assist system is automatically deactivated

when a trailer is hitched to the vehicle. The system will be

automatically activated as soon as the trailer is removed.

Pushing the on/off button or turning the ignition switch

OFF erases the set speed from memory.
