FUEL ECONOMY (ECON) MODE

The Fuel Economy (ECON) mode can improve the vehicle’s overall fuel economy
during normal driving conditions.
• Press the ECON switch in the center

stack of the instrument panel and a
green light will indicate the ECON
mode is engaged.

When the ECON Mode is engaged, the
vehicle control systems will be able to
change the following:
• The transmission will upshift sooner

and downshift later.

• The transmission will skip select gears

during shifts to allow the engine to
operate at lower speeds.

• The torque converter clutch may en-

gage sooner (lower engine rpm’s) and
remain on longer.

• The engine idle speed will be lower.
• The overall driving performance will be more conservative.

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 will sound, (closer the object
the faster the tone) that changes speed depending on the distance of the object from
the bumper, will sound.

When the Instrument Cluster reads either “Clean Sensor” or “Blinded”, clean off the
bumper sensors to see if the condition is corrected.
