Action

Contact an authorized dealer to have the radar checked for proper coverage and operation. Clean the outside of the windshield in front of the camera. Wait a short time. It may take several minutes for the camera to detect that there is no obstruction. Changing the drive mode automatically changes the functionality of the following systems: • Electronic stability control and traction control maintains your vehicle control in adverse conditions or high performance driving. See Stability Control (page 228). • Electronic throttle control enhances the powertrain response to your inputs. • Transmission controls are optimized with shift schedules tuned to each terrain. Using the System The system automatically tailors your vehicle configuration for each mode you select. Column Shifter

Radar is out of alignment due to a front end impact. The windshield in front of the camera is dirty or obstructed in some way. The windshield in front of the camera is clean but the message remains in the display. Note: Proper system operation requires a clear view of the road by the camera. Have any windshield damage in the area of the camera's field of view repaired. Note: If something hits the front end of your vehicle or damage occurs, the radar sensing zone may change. This could cause missed or false vehicle detections. Contact an authorized dealer to have the radar checked for proper coverage and operation. Note: If your vehicle detects excessive heat at the camera or a potential misalignment condition, a message may display in the information display indicating temporary sensor unavailability. When operational conditions are correct, the message deactivates. For example, when the ambient temperature around the sensor decreases or the sensor automatically recalibrates successfully. DRIVE CONTROL Selectable DriveModes The system delivers a driving experience through a suite of sophisticated electronic vehicle systems. These systems optimize steering, handling and powertrain response. This provides a single location to control multiple systems performance settings.
