OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE SYNC Temperature Button • Push the SYNC button once to control the driver and passenger temperatures simultaneously. Push the SYNC button a second time to control the temperatures individually. Air Recirculation • Use recirculation for maximum A/C operation. • For window defogging turn the recirculation button off. • If the recirculation button is pushed while in the AUTO mode, the indicator light may flash three times to indicate the cabin air is being controlled automatically. PARKSENSE® REAR PARK ASSIST • If an object is detected behind the rear bumper while the vehicle is in REVERSE, a warning will display in the instrument cluster and a tone, that changes speed depending on the distance of the object from the bumper, will sound. Enable/Disable ParkSense® • ParkSense® can be enabled and disabled with a switch located in the switch bank of the instrument panel or through the Customer-Programmable Features section of the EVIC. When the switch is pressed to disable the system, the instrument cluster will display the "PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF" message for approximately five seconds. PARKVIEW® REAR BACK-UP CAMERA • You can see an on-screen image of the rear of your vehicle whenever the shift lever is put into REVERSE. The ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera image will be displayed on the radio display screen, located on the center stack of the instrument panel. WARNING! Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using the ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before backing up. You are responsible for the safety of your surroundings and must continue to pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death. DIESEL EXHAUST BRAKE (ENGINE BRAKING) • The exhaust brake feature will only function when the driver turns the exhaust brake switch to the ON position. • The switch is located on the switch bank below the audio system. • Once the switch is in the ON position and the vehicle is moving faster than 5 mph (8 km/h), the exhaust brake will automatically operate when the driver removes pressure from the accelerator pedal. • Exhaust braking is most effective when the engine RPM is higher. 24
