Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist

(if equipped)

Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA)

detects objects up to 5 feet (1.5 m)

behind the vehicle when the shift lever 

is in the Reverse position and vehicle

speed is less than 3 mph (5 km/h).

Three color-coded lights inside the 

vehicle, above the rear window, provide

distance and system information to the

driver. 

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Antilock Brake System 

The Antilock Brake System (ABS) helps

prevent a braking skid. The ABS warn-

ing light illuminates briefly when the

engine is started. Momentary motor or

clicking noises and slight brake pedal

movement are normal as the system

checks itself when reaching speeds of

approximately 3 to 5 mph.

See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.

Traction Control System (TCS)

The Traction Control System (TCS) 

limits wheelspin. TCS activates when it

senses one or both front wheels spin-

ning or losing traction. Then the system

reduces engine power and may upshift

the transaxle to limit wheelspin. It is nor-

mal to hear or feel the system working.

TCS is always enabled unless you dis-

able it manually to rock the vehicle free

from sand, mud or snow. 

To disable TCS, press the TCS button

on the instrument panel. The TCS warn-

ing light will come on. Press the button

again to turn TCS on.

See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.

StabiliTrak

® 

– Stability Control

System (if equipped)

StabiliTrak is a computer-controlled sys-

tem that detects and corrects differences

between the path you have chosen and

the vehicle’s actual direction by applying

brake pressure individually at the appro-

priate wheel. When the system acti-

vates, STABILITY CONTROL ACTIVE

displays on the DIC.

See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
