WARNING!

● When entering a turn lane or highway off-ramp;

when driving on roads that are winding, icy, snow-

covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill

slopes.

● Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience

system. It is not a substitute for active driver

involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility

to be attentive of road, traffic, and weather

conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle

ahead and, most importantly, brake operation to

ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all

road conditions. Your complete attention is always

required while driving to maintain safe control of

your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can

result in a collision and death or serious personal

injury.

To Vary The Speed Setting

To Increase Or Decrease The Set Speed

Setting The Following Distance In ACC

After setting a speed, you can increase the set speed

by pushing the SET (+) button, or decrease speed by

pushing the SET (-) button.

The specified following distance for ACC can be set

by varying the distance setting between four bars

(longest), three bars (long), two bars (medium) and one

bar (short). Using this distance setting and the vehicle

speed, ACC calculates and sets the distance to the

vehicle ahead. This distance setting will show in the

instrument cluster display.

● The ACC system decelerates the vehicle to a full stop

when following the vehicle in front. If your vehicle

follows the vehicle in front to a standstill, after two

seconds the driver will either have to push the RES

(resume) button, or apply the accelerator pedal to

reengage the ACC to the existing set speed.

U.S. Speed (mph)

● Pushing the SET (+), or SET (-) button once will result

in a 1 mph speed adjustment. Each subsequent tap

of the button results in an adjustment of 1 mph.

● The ACC system maintains set speed when driving

uphill and downhill. However, a slight speed

change on moderate hills is normal. In addition,

downshifting may occur while climbing uphill or

descending downhill. This is normal operation and

necessary to maintain set speed. When driving

uphill and downhill, the ACC system will cancel

if the braking temperature exceeds normal range

(overheated).

● If the button is continually pushed, the set speed

will continue to adjust in 5 mph increments until the

button is released. The new set speed is reflected in

Cruise Control will smoothly take over at your preset

speed or reduce it to maintain your chosen following

distance.

● The vehicle ahead moves out of your lane or view of

the sensor.

● The distance setting is changed.

● The system disengages.

ACC Operation At Stop

The maximum braking applied by ACC is limited;

however, the driver can always apply the brakes

manually, if necessary.

If the ACC system brings your vehicle to a standstill

while following a vehicle ahead, your vehicle will

resume motion, without any driver interaction, if the

vehicle ahead starts moving within two seconds of your

vehicle coming to a standstill.

NOTE:

The brake lights will illuminate whenever the ACC

system applies the brakes.

If the target vehicle does not start moving within

two seconds of your vehicle coming to a standstill,

the ACC with Stop system will cancel and the brakes

will release. A cancel message will display on the

instrument cluster display and produce a warning

chime.

Distance Settings

A Proximity Warning will alert the driver if ACC predicts

that its maximum braking level is not sufficient to

maintain the set distance. If this occurs, a visual alert

“BRAKE!” will appear in the instrument cluster display

and a chime will sound while ACC continues to apply its

maximum braking capacity.

2 — Medium Distance Setting (Two Bars)

3 — Long Distance Setting (Three Bars)

4 — Short Distance Setting (One Bar)

When traveling at speeds below 36 mph (60 km/h) and

with good visibility, the system can identify stationary

vehicles and reduce speed to maintain a safe following

distance. Once the car comes to a complete stop, ACC

will turn off. You can reactivate the system when your

speed is above 5 km/h (3 mph) by pressing any of the

SET+, SET-, or RES buttons.

To decrease the distance setting, push the Distance

button and release. Each time the button is pushed, the

distance setting decreases by one bar (shorter). Once

the shortest distance has been reached, one more

press of the button will set the longest distance. The

set speed is held if there are no cars ahead.

NOTE:

The “BRAKE!” screen in the instrument cluster display

is a warning for the driver to take action and does not

necessarily mean that the Full Brake Control system is

applying the brakes autonomously.

If a slower moving vehicle is detected in the same

lane, the instrument cluster display will show the ACC

Overtake Aid

If the system keeps the vehicle stationary for two

minutes, the electric parking brake will engage, and the

system will be deactivated.

The Adaptive Cruise Control system, when traffic

conditions allow, offers an additional burst of speed

Display Warnings And Maintenance

● Do not remove any screws from the sensor. Doing

so could cause an ACC system malfunction or failure

and require a sensor realignment.

“FRONT RADAR SENSOR TEMPORARILY

BLOCKED” WARNING

Speed Reductions On Bends

The Adaptive Cruise Control system has the capability

to make slight speed reductions during bends to

enhance vehicle stability and passenger comfort. This

feature can be especially helpful in roundabouts

or on gently curved roads where the curvature

gradually increases. However, it cannot compensate for

abrupt steering maneuvers or moderate-to-high lateral

accelerations in general.

● If the sensor or front end of the vehicle is damaged

due to a collision, see an authorized dealer for

service.

The “ACC Front Radar Sensor Temporarily Blocked”

warning will display and a chime will sound when

conditions temporarily limit system performance.

● Do not attach or install any accessories near

the sensor, including transparent material or

aftermarket grilles. Doing so could cause an ACC

system failure or malfunction.

This most often occurs at times of poor visibility, such

as in snow or heavy rain. The ACC system may also

become temporarily blinded due to obstructions, such

as mud, dirt or ice. In these cases, the instrument

cluster display will read “ACC/FCW Unavailable Wipe

Front Radar Sensor” and the system will deactivate.

When the condition that deactivated the system is no

longer present, the system will return to the “Adaptive

Cruise Control Off” state and will resume function by

simply reactivating it.

In scenarios where the traffic situation demands it,

it is the drivers responsibility to apply the brakes,

as needed, to further decrease the vehicle's speed,

ensuring stability on tight bends or steep descents.

The “ACC Front Radar Sensor Temporarily Blocked”

message can sometimes be displayed while driving in

highly reflective areas (i.e. ice and snow, or tunnels

with reflective tiles). The ACC system will recover after

the vehicle has left these areas. Under rare conditions,

when the radar is not tracking any vehicles or objects in

its path this warning may temporarily occur.

NOTE:

Extension Of Adaptive Cruise Control: Co-

Driver

● If the “ACC Front Radar Sensor Temporarily Blocked”

message occurs frequently (e.g. more than once on

every trip) without any snow, rain, mud, or other

obstruction, have the radar sensor realigned at an

authorized dealer.

The Adaptive Cruise Control system can operate in

available.

● Installing a snow plow, front-end protector, an

aftermarket grille or modifying the grille is not

recommended. Doing so may block the sensor and

inhibit ACC/Full Brake Control System operation.

If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver should

examine the sensor. It may require cleaning or removal

of an obstruction. The sensor is located in the center of

occurs at times of poor visibility, such as in snow or

heavy rain and fog. The ACC system may also become

temporarily blinded due to obstructions, such as mud,

dirt, or ice on windshield and fog on the inside of glass.

In these cases, the instrument cluster display will read

“ACC/FCW Limited Functionality Wipe Front Windshield”

and the system will have degraded performance.

Although the vehicle is still drivable under normal

conditions, ACC will be temporarily unavailable. If this

occurs, try activating ACC again later, following an

ignition cycle. If the problem persists, see an authorized

dealer.

Precautions While Driving With ACC

In certain driving situations, ACC may have detection

issues. In these cases, ACC may brake late or

unexpectedly. The driver needs to stay alert and may

need to intervene. The following are examples of these

types of situations:

The “ACC/FCW Limited Functionality Wipe Front

Windshield” message can sometimes be displayed

while driving in adverse weather conditions. The ACC/

Full Brake Control system will recover after the vehicle

has left these areas. Under rare conditions, when the

camera is not tracking any vehicles or objects in its

path this warning may temporarily occur.

Offset Driving Condition Example

4

TOWING A TRAILER

TURNS AND BENDS

Towing a trailer is not recommended when using ACC.

OFFSET DRIVING

If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver should

examine the windshield and the camera located on

the back side of the inside rear view mirror. They may

require cleaning or removal of an obstruction.

When driving on a curve with ACC engaged, the

system may increase or decrease the vehicle speed

for stability, with no vehicle ahead detected. Once the

vehicle is out of the curve, the system will resume your

original set speed. This is a part of normal ACC system

functionality.

ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane that

is offset from your direct line of travel, or a vehicle

merging in from a side lane. There may not be sufficient

distance to the vehicle ahead. The offset vehicle may

move in and out of the line of travel, which can cause

your vehicle to brake or accelerate unexpectedly.

When the condition that created limited functionality

is no longer present, the system will return to full

functionality.

NOTE:

On tight turns ACC performance may be limited.

If the “ACC/FCW Limited Functionality Wipe Front

Windshield” message occurs frequently (e.g. more than

once on every trip) without any snow, rain, mud, or

other obstruction, have the windshield and forward

facing camera inspected at an authorized dealer.

USING ACC ON HILLS

ACC performance may be limited when driving on hills.

ACC may not detect a vehicle in your lane depending

on the speed, vehicle load, traffic conditions, and the

steepness of the hill.

SERVICE ACC/FCW WARNING

If the system turns off, and the instrument cluster

display reads “ACC/FCW Limited Functionality Frontal

Camera Service Required” or “Cruise Control Service

Required”, there may be an internal system fault or

a temporary malfunction that limits ACC functionality.

86 STARTING AND OPERATING

STATIONARY OBJECTS AND VEHICLES

ACC does not react to stationary objects or vehicles.

For example, ACC will not react in situations where

the vehicle you are following exits your lane and the

vehicle ahead is stopped in your lane. It will consider

this stopped vehicle a stationary object as it did not

previously detect movement from it. Always be attentive

and ready to apply the brakes if necessary.

ACC Hill Example

Lane Changing Example

LANE CHANGING

NARROW VEHICLES

ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is completely in

the lane in which you are traveling. In the following

lane changing example, ACC has not yet detected the

vehicle changing lanes and it may not detect the vehicle

until it's too late for the ACC system to take action.

ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is completely in

the lane. There may not be sufficient distance to the

lane-changing vehicle. Always be attentive and ready to

apply the brakes if necessary.

Some narrow vehicles traveling near the outer edges of

WARNING!

When the ACC system is resumed, the driver must

ensure that there are no pedestrians, vehicles or

objects in the path of the vehicle. Failure to follow

these warnings can result in a collision and death or

serious personal injury.

2 — Medium Distance Setting (Two Bars)

3 — Long Distance Setting (Three Bars)

4 — Short Distance Setting (One Bar)

SETTING THE DISTANCE BETWEEN VEHICLES

The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle

ahead may be set to 1 bar (short), 2 bars (medium),

3 bars (long), 4 bars (maximum).

These distances are relative to the vehicle's speed.

The time interval in relation to the vehicle ahead

remains consistent, ranging from 1 second for the

short-distance 1-bar setting to 2 seconds for the

maximum-distance 4-bar setting. The selected distance

is shown on the instrument cluster display.

TO RESUME

If the system has been canceled by pressing the

brake pedal or the CANC (cancel) button, but have

not deactivated it by pressing the ACC button on the

steering wheel, the system can be recalled to the

previously set speed. To do this:

To Recall The Set Speed

● Press the RES button on the steering wheel.

● Remove foot from accelerator pedal.

The system will then be set to the last stored speed set

before canceling it.

94 STARTING AND OPERATING

● The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed higher

than the set speed.

OVERTAKING AID FUNCTION

The Adaptive Cruise Control system, when traffic

conditions allow, permits additional acceleration for

overtaking by simply activating the direction indicator.

This extra acceleration is provided as long as it's

ensured that there is sufficient distance to overtake the

other vehicle.

● The vehicle ahead changes lanes or leaves the

detection field of the Adaptive Cruise Control device

sensor.

● The distance setting is altered.

● The Adaptive Cruise Control device is deactivated or

canceled.

Once the acceleration begins, the driver should ensure

that it's safe to do so, considering the traffic and

vehicles approaching from behind. The driver can then

execute the lane change maneuver to overtake. After

the overtaking is completed and the path is clear

of vehicles, the Adaptive Cruise Control system will

resume control of the chosen speed or reduce it to

maintain the desired distance from the vehicle ahead.

CAUTION!

ACC Distance Icon

● The maximum breaking applied by the device is

limited. The driver may apply the brakes in all

cases if needed.

The system is initially set to 4 bars (maximum) the first

time it is used. After the driver adjusts the distance, the

new setting will be retained even after the system is

turned off and then reactivated.

● If the device predicts that the level of braking is

not sufficient to maintain the set distance, the

word “BRAKE!” or a dedicated message on the

instrument panel display warns the driver that the

vehicle ahead is too close. An acoustic signal is

also emitted. In this case, it is advisable to brake

immediately as necessary to hold a safe distance

from the vehicle ahead.

NOTE:

The overtaking aid function is available on the side

where overtaking is legally permitted according to the

traffic regulations (on the left in countries with right-

side traffic and on the right in countries with left-side

traffic).

To Decrease The distance

Press and release the Distance Increase/Decrease

button on the steering wheel to decrease the distance

setting. Each time the button is pressed, the distance

setting decreases by one bar, making it shorter.

WARNING!

When the shortest distance setting is reached, pressing

the button again will set the longest distance. The

system will maintain the set speed if there are no

vehicles ahead.

● The driver is responsible for ensuring that there

are no pedestrians, other vehicles or objectives

along the direction of the vehicle. Failure to

comply with these precautions may cause serious

accidents and injuries.

The device detects the direction of traffic

automatically when the car passes from left-hand

traffic to right-hand traffic. In this case, the

overtaking assist function is only active when the

reference vehicle is overtaken on the right. The

additional acceleration is activated when the driver

uses the right direction indicator. In this condition,

the device no longer provides the overtaking assist

function on the lefthand side until it determines that

the car has returned to left-hand traffic conditions.

If a vehicle in the same lane, traveling at a slower

speed, is detected on the instrument panel, an icon

(if equipped) will appear on the display. The system will

automatically adjust your car's speed to maintain the

set distance, regardless of the set speed.

● The driver is fully responsible for holding a safe

distance from the vehicle ahead respecting the

highway code in force in the respective country.

The car will maintain the set distance until any of the

following occur:

STARTING AND OPERATING 95

remains above the minimum speed that can be set

within the system.

Offset Driving

SPEED REDUCTIONS ON BENDS

ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane that

is offset from your direct line of travel, or a vehicle

merging in from a side lane. There may not be sufficient

distance to the vehicle ahead. The offset vehicle may

move in and out of the line of travel, which can cause

your vehicle to brake or accelerate unexpectedly.

The Adaptive Cruise Control system has the capability

to make slight speed reductions during bends to

enhance vehicle stability and passenger comfort. This

feature can be especially helpful in roundabouts

or on gently curved roads where the curvature

gradually increases. However, it cannot compensate for

abrupt steering maneuvers or moderate-to-high lateral

accelerations in general.

SYSTEM LIMITED OPERATION WARNING

If the dedicated message is shown on the display,

a condition limiting the system operation may have

occurred. The possible reasons of this limitation are

something blocking the camera view or a fault.

In the case of camera glare (e.g., due to low sun

in front of the windscreen or in foggy or heavy rain

conditions), it's advisable to wait until the lighting

and glare conditions improve, allowing the system to

resume full operation.

In scenarios where the traffic situation demands it,

it is the drivers responsibility to apply the brakes,

as needed, to further decrease the vehicle's speed,

ensuring stability on tight bends or steep descents.

4

If an obstruction is signalled, clean the camera area

of the windshield and verify if the message has

disappeared.

DEACTIVATION

The device is deactivated, and the set speed is

canceled if:

Once the conditions that limited the system's

functionality have ended, it will return to its regular and

full operation. If the issue persists, it's recommended to

contact an authorized dealer for assistance.

● The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) On/Off is pressed.

● The Active Speed Limiter button is pressed.

● The ignition device switch is in the OFF position.

PRECAUTIONS WHILE DRIVING WITH ACC

When driving on a curve with ACC engaged, the

system may increase or decrease the vehicle speed

for stability, with no vehicle ahead detected. Once the

vehicle is out of the curve, the system will resume your

original set speed. This is a part of normal ACC system

functionality.

The system is canceled, and the set speed and

distance are stored in the following cases:

In certain driving situations, ACC may have detection

issues. In these cases, ACC may brake late or

unexpectedly. The driver needs to stay alert and may

need to intervene. The following are examples of these

types of situations:

96 STARTING AND OPERATING

Using ACC On Hills

Stationary Objects And Vehicles

ACC performance may be limited when driving on hills.

ACC may not detect a vehicle in your lane depending

on the speed, vehicle load, traffic conditions, and the

steepness of the hill.

ACC does not react to stationary objects or vehicles.

For example, ACC will not react in situations where

the vehicle you are following exits your lane and the

vehicle ahead is stopped in your lane. It will consider

this stopped vehicle a stationary object as it did not

previously detect movement from it. Always be attentive

and ready to apply the brakes if necessary.

Lane Changing Example

Narrow Vehicles

Some narrow vehicles traveling near the outer edges of

the lane or edging into the lane are not detected until

they have moved fully into the lane. There may not be

sufficient distance to the vehicle ahead.

ACC Hill Example

Lane Changing

Stationary Object And Stationary Vehicle Example

ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is completely in

the lane in which you are traveling. In the following

lane changing example, ACC has not yet detected the

vehicle changing lanes and it may not detect the vehicle

until it's too late for the ACC system to take action.

ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is completely in

Front Park Assist Audible Alerts

The rear sensors are automatically deactivated if a

trailer’s electric plug is inserted in the vehicle’s trailer

electrical socket. The front sensors stay active and can

provide acoustic and visual warnings. The rear sensors

are automatically reactivated when the trailer's cable

plug is removed.

Park Assist will turn off the Front Park Assist audible

alert (chime) after approximately three seconds when

an obstacle has been detected, and the vehicle is

stationary. If the obstacle has been detected within less

than 12 inches (30 cm), then the Park Assist will not

turn off the Front Park Assist audible alert.

the outer surface and the underside of the rear fascia/

bumper and/or front fascia/bumper is clean and clear

of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction and then

cycle the ignition. If the message continues to appear

see an authorized dealer.

● Park Assist is only a parking aid and it is unable

to recognize every obstacle, including small

obstacles. Parking curbs might be temporarily

detected or not detected at all. Obstacles located

above or below the sensors will not be detected

when they are in close proximity.

● Objects such as bicycle carriers, etc., must not be

placed within 12 inches (30 cm) from the rear

fascia/bumper while driving the vehicle. Failure to

do so can result in the system misinterpreting a

close object as a sensor problem, causing a failure

indication to be displayed in the instrument cluster.

● The vehicle must be driven slowly when using Park

Assist in order to be able to stop in time when an

obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the

driver looks over his/her shoulder when using Park

Assist.

If the "PARK ASSIST UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED"

message appears in the instrument cluster display, see

an authorized dealer.

WARNING!

● Drivers must be careful when backing up even

when using Park Assist. Always check carefully

behind your vehicle, look behind you, and be sure

to check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,

obstructions, and blind spots before backing up.

You are responsible for safety and must continue

to pay attention to your surroundings. Failure to do

so can result in serious injury or death.

If it is necessary to keep the trailer hitch and hitch

ball assembly mounted for a long period, it is possible

to filter out the trailer hitch and hitch ball assembly

presence within the sensor’s field of view. The filtering

operation must be performed only by an authorized

dealer.

CLEANING THE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM

Clean the Park Assist sensors with water, car wash

soap and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths.

Do not scratch or poke the sensors. Otherwise, you

could damage the sensors.

PARK ASSIST SYSTEM USAGE PRECAUTIONS

NOTE:

● Before using Park Assist, it is strongly

recommended that the ball mount and hitch ball

assembly be disconnected from the vehicle when

the vehicle is not used for towing. Failure to do

so can result in injury or damage to vehicles or

obstacles because the hitch ball will be much

closer to the obstacle than the rear fascia when

the vehicle sounds the continuous tone. Also, the

sensors could detect the ball mount and hitch ball

assembly, depending on its size and shape, giving

a false indication that an obstacle is behind the

vehicle.

SIDE DISTANCE WARNING SYSTEM — IF

EQUIPPED

The Side Distance Warning system detects the

presence of side obstacles near the vehicle using the

parking sensors located in the front and rear fascia/

bumpers.

● Ensure that the outer surface and the underside of

the front and rear fascia/bumper are clean and clear

of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction to keep

the Park Assist system operating properly.

● Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations

could affect the performance of Rear Park Assist.

Side Distance Warning Display

The Side Distance Warning screen will only be displayed

if this feature is enabled within Uconnect Settings

WARNING!

NOTE:

● Ensure that the front and rear fascias/bumpers are

free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep the

ParkSense system operating properly.

● Drivers must be careful when backing up even

when using ParkSense. Always check carefully

behind your vehicle, look behind you, and be sure

to check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,

obstructions, and blind spots before backing up.

You are responsible for safety and must continue

to pay attention to your surroundings. Failure to do

so can result in serious injury or death.

Visual indications are always provided to the driver,

even when the obstacle is not in the trajectory of the

vehicle.

● Construction equipment, large trucks, and other

vibrations could affect the performance of

ParkSense.

NOTE:

ParkSense will reduce the volume of the radio if on

when the system is sounding an audible tone.

● When you turn ParkSense off, the message in the

instrument cluster display will read “PARKSENSE

OFF.” Furthermore, once you turn ParkSense off, it

remains off until you turn it on again, even if you

cycle the ignition key.

● Before using ParkSense, it is strongly

Activation/Deactivation

recommended that the ball mount and hitch ball

assembly be disconnected from the vehicle when

the vehicle is not used for towing. Failure to do

so can result in injury or damage to vehicles or

obstacles because the hitch ball will be much

closer to the obstacle than the rear fascia/bumper

when the vehicle sounds the continuous tone.

Also, the sensors could detect the ball mount and

hitch ball assembly, depending on its size and

shape, giving a false indication that an obstacle

is behind the vehicle.

The system can operate only after driving a short

distance and if the vehicle speed is between 0 and

11 mph (0 and 18 km/h). The system can be activated/

deactivated via the "Settings" menu of the Uconnect

system. If the ParkSense System is deactivated via

the ParkSense switch, then the side distance warning

system will automatically be deactivated.

● ParkSense, when on, will reduce the volume of the

radio when it is sounding a tone.

● Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly, taking care

not to scratch or damage them. The sensors must

not be covered with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt or

debris. Failure to do so can result in the system not

working properly. The ParkSense system might not

detect an obstacle behind or in front of the fascia/

bumper, or it could provide a false indication that an

obstacle is behind or in front of the fascia/bumper.

NOTE:

The vehicle needs to be driven approximately one car

length in order for the Side Distance Warning system to

activate.

CAUTION!

Operation With A Trailer

● The presence of a tow hook without a trailer may

interfere with the correct operation of the parking

sensors. Before using the ParkSense system, it is

recommended to remove the removable tow hook

ball assembly and any attachments from the vehicle

when it is not used for towing operations. If you leave

the tow hook fitted when not towing a trailer, the

page 113.

ð

NOTE:

The LaneSense system is operational at speeds above

37 mph (60 km/h) and below 93 mph (150 km/h).

The LaneSense system uses a forward facing camera

to detect lane markings and measure vehicle position

within the lane boundaries.

NOTE:

Once active, the system will operate when the following

conditions are met:

● The driver maintains at least one hand on the

steering wheel at all times.

LANESENSE — IF EQUIPPED

TURNING LANESENSE ON OR OFF

● The vehicle's speed falls within the range of 37 mph

to 93 mph (60 km/h to 150 km/h).

LANESENSE OPERATION

The LaneSense button is located on the end

of the turn signal stalk, located on the left

side of the steering column.

● The lane is marked on at least one side.

● Visibility conditions are appropriate.

The LaneSense system utilizes a windshield-mounted

camera to identify lane boundaries and determine the

car’s position within those boundaries, ensuring it stays

within the lane.

To turn the LaneSense system on, push the

LaneSense button once. A “Lane Sense On” message is

shown in the instrument cluster display.

● The road is straight or with wide radius bends.

● The turn signal is not engaged in the same direction

as the lane departure.

When one of the lane markings are detected and the

driver drifts out of the lane (no turn signal applied),

the LaneSense system provides a haptic warning in

the form of torque applied to the steering wheel to

prompt the driver to remain within the lane boundaries.

If the driver continues to drift out of the lane, the

LaneSense system provides a visual warning through

the instrument cluster display to prompt the driver to

remain within the lane boundaries.

To turn the LaneSense system off, push the LaneSense

button twice within 5 seconds.

NOTE:

The system will not apply torque to the steering wheel

whenever a safety system engages. (Anti-Lock Brakes,

Traction Control System, Electronic Stability Control, Full

Brake Control system, etc.).

On some models, when LaneSense is disabled, a

message along with a warning light will be displayed

on the instrument cluster display.

NOTE:

LANESENSE WARNING MESSAGE

The LaneSense system alerts the driver when the

car drifts out of its lane by displaying symbols and

messages on the instrument panel display.

The system will retain the last state (on or off) that

was active during engine shut down. The next time the

engine is started, the system will either be active or

stay off.

NOTE:

The torque applied to the steering wheel by the system

is sufficient for the driver to notice it, but always limited,

so that they can easily override it. The driver may

manually override the haptic warning by applying force

to the steering wheel at any time.

While the system is in operation and hasn't detected

the lane boundaries, the lane lines appear in grey, and

a specific icon is displayed in the dedicated upper

section of the display.

NOTE:

Single Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected

NOTE:

Based on the various conditions it detects, the

system can grab the driver's attention by modifying

the characteristics of the lane identification lines on

the display. Specifically, it can change their color

(from white to yellow and vice versa) and make them

flash. Additionally, the system adjusts the color of

the car icon displayed on the screen as needed.

● When the system is active and has detected only

the left lane, the car icon is displayed in the

dedicated area of the screen. In this state, the

system is prepared to deliver visual warnings in case

of unintentional lane departure to the left (with no

direction indicator activation).

● The LaneSense system operates with similar

behavior for a right lane departure when only the

right lane marking has been detected.

● The system will only provide visual warnings and will

not make steering corrections to realign the car's

path.

● When the LaneSense system senses a lane drift

situation, the left lane line turns solid yellow. The

LaneSense telltale changes from solid green to solid

yellow. At this time torque is applied to the steering

wheel in the opposite direction of the lane boundary.

● As the system detects the car's proximity to the lane

line, the left lane line on the display turns yellow,

and the car icon displayed also turns yellow. If the

system detects that the car is approaching the lane

line and is about to cross it, the left lane line (in

yellow) flashes, and the car icon displayed also turns

yellow.

Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected

● When the LaneSense system is on, the lane lines

turn from gray to white to indicate that both of the

lane markings have been detected. The LaneSense

telltale is solid green when both lane markings have

been detected and the system is ready to provide

visual warnings in the instrument cluster display and

a torque warning in the steering wheel if a lane

departure occurs.

For example: If approaching the left side of the lane

the steering wheel will turn to the right.

the rear of the vehicle on the boot tailgate.

Once the conditions restricting the system's functions

are resolved, it will return to its normal and complete

operation. However, if the fault continues, it's advisable

to get in touch with an authorized dealer for further

assistance.

No Hands On Steering Wheel Detection

When the system detects the absence of hands on

the steering wheel during active system intervention, it

will initiate a series of escalating visual and acoustic

warnings. This process will span 15 seconds, with the

goal of prompting the driver to place their hands back

on the steering wheel.

Lane Sensed (Solid

Yellow Line/Solid Yellow Telltale)

● When the LaneSense system senses the lane

has been approached and is in a lane departure

situation, the left lane line flashes yellow (on/off).

The LaneSense telltale changes from solid yellow to

flashing yellow. At this time torque is applied to the

steering wheel in the opposite direction of the lane

boundary.

Back Up Camera Location

If the driver does not return their hands to the

wheel within this 15-second window, the system will

disengage and issue an additional warning lasting 5

seconds.

When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE with

camera delay turned off, the rear camera mode is

exited and the navigation or audio screen appears

again.

System Fault

When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE with

camera delay turned on, the camera image will

continue to be displayed for up to 10 seconds unless

the vehicle speed exceeds 8 mph (13 km/h), the

vehicle is shifted into PARK, or the ignition is placed

in the OFF position.

If the system deactivates and displays a message on

the instrument cluster display, it signifies a fault within

the system. It is still possible to drive the car, but it is

strongly recommended that you contact an authorized

dealer.

For example: If approaching the left side of the lane

the steering wheel will turn to the right.

System Limited Operation Warning

If a dedicated message appears on the display, it

could indicate a condition that limits the system's

operation. Possible reasons for this limitation include

an obstruction blocking the camera's view or a system

fault.

A touchscreen button to disable the camera is available

when the vehicle is not in REVERSE. Display of the

camera image after shifting out of REVERSE can be

disabled via Uconnect Settings.

PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA

The ParkView Rear Back Up Camera allows you to see

an on-screen image of the rear surroundings of your

vehicle when the gear selector is put into REVERSE.

The label also specifies maximum capacities of front

and rear GAWR. Total load must be limited so GVWR

and front and rear GAWR are not exceeded.

CAUTION!

Inflation Pressure

● To avoid vehicle damage, ParkView should only be

used as a parking aid. The ParkView camera is

unable to view every obstacle or object in your

drive path.

This is the cold tire inflation pressure for your vehicle

for all loading conditions up to full GAWR.

Curb Weight

● This vehicle must be towed on a dolly or vehicle

trailer with the front wheels OFF the ground.

WARNING!

The curb weight of a vehicle is defined as the total

weight of the vehicle with all fluids, including vehicle

fuel, at full capacity conditions, and with no occupants

or cargo loaded into the vehicle. The front and rear curb

weight values are determined by weighing your vehicle

on a commercial scale before any occupants or cargo

are added.

Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR

or the maximum front and rear GAWR. If you do,

parts on your vehicle can break, or it can change the

way your vehicle handles. This could cause you to

lose control. Overloading can shorten the life of your

vehicle.

CAUTION!

Towing this vehicle in violation of the above

requirements can cause severe transmission

damage. Damage from improper towing is not

covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Loading

TRAILER TOWING

Trailer towing with this vehicle is not recommended.

DRIVING TIPS

The actual total weight and the weight of the front

and rear of your vehicle at the ground can best be

determined by weighing it when it is loaded and ready

for operation.

ENERGY CONSUMPTION

REDUCTION

Below are some useful tips that allow you to achieve

a reduction in energy consumption of the high-voltage

battery and a consequent increase in range.

RECREATIONAL TOWING (BEHIND

MOTORHOME, ETC.)

The entire vehicle should first be weighed on a

commercial scale to ensure that the GVWR has not

been exceeded. The weight on the front and rear of

the vehicle should then be determined separately to

be sure that the load is properly distributed over the

front and rear axle. Weighing the vehicle may show

that the GAWR of either the front or rear axles has

been exceeded but the total load is within the specified

GVWR. If so, weight must be shifted from front to rear

or rear to front as appropriate until the specified weight

limitations are met. Store the heavier items down low

and be sure that the weight is distributed equally. Stow

all loose items securely before driving.

NOTE:

● When towing your vehicle, always follow applicable

state and provincial laws. Contact state and

provincial Highway Safety offices for additional

details.

STARTING AND OPERATING 111

Unnecessary Loads

Flowing/Rising Water

WARNING!

Do not travel with an overloaded luggage compartment.

The weight of the vehicle and its trim greatly affect

electrical energy consumption and stability.

Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is dangerous.

Unequal traction can cause sudden pulling of the

front wheels. You could lose control of the vehicle

and possibly have a collision. Accelerate slowly and

carefully whenever there is likely to be poor traction

(ice, snow, wet, mud, loose sand, etc.).

WARNING!

Do not drive on or across a road or path where

water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off).

Flowing water can wear away the road or path's

surface and cause your vehicle to sink into deeper

water. Furthermore, flowing and/or rising water can

carry your vehicle away swiftly. Failure to follow this

warning may result in injuries that are serious or fatal

to you, your passengers, and others around you.

Electric Devices

Use electrical devices only for the amount of time

needed. The heated rear window, windshield wipers

and heater fan require a considerable amount of

energy; increasing the current uptake increases

electrical energy consumption.

Traction

When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is possible for

a wedge of water to build up between the tire and road

surface. This is hydroplaning and may cause partial or

complete loss of vehicle control and stopping ability. To

reduce this possibility, the following precautions should

be observed:

4

Climate Control System

Shallow Standing Water

Using the climate control system will increase electrical

energy consumption: use standard ventilation when the

temperature outside permits.

Although your vehicle is capable of driving through

shallow standing water, consider the following Cautions

and Warnings before doing so.

● Slow down during rainstorms or when the roads are

slushy.

Devices For Aerodynamic Control

WARNING!

The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic

control may adversely affect air drag and electrical

energy consumption levels.

● Slow down if the road has standing water or puddles.

● Driving through standing water limits your vehicle’s

traction capabilities. Do not exceed 5 mph (8

km/h) when driving through standing water.

● Replace the tires when tread wear indicators first

become visible.

DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES

Information in this section will aid in safe controlled

launches in adverse conditions.

● Keep tires properly inflated.

● Driving through standing water limits your vehicle’s

braking capabilities, which increases stopping

distances. Therefore, after driving through

standing water, drive slowly and lightly press on

the brake pedal several times to dry the brakes.

● Maintain sufficient distance between your vehicle

and the vehicle in front of you to avoid a collision in a

sudden stop.

Acceleration

DRIVING THROUGH WATER

Driving through water more than a few inches/

centimeters deep will require extra caution to ensure

safety and prevent damage to your vehicle.

● Failure to follow these warnings may result in

injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your

passengers, and others around you.

Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other

slippery surfaces may cause the driving wheels to pull

erratically to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs

when there is a difference in the surface traction under

the front (driving) wheels.

112 STARTING AND OPERATING

CAUTION!

D^RIVINGSTYLE

Top Speed

● Always check the depth of the standing water

before driving through it. Never drive through

standing water that is deeper than the bottom of

the tire rims mounted on the vehicle.

Energy consumption considerably increases as speed

increases. Maintain a constant speed, avoiding

unnecessary braking and acceleration, which cost in

terms of electrical energy consumption and emissions.

● Determine the condition of the road or the path

that is under water and if there are any obstacles

in the way before driving through the standing

water.

Acceleration

Accelerating violently will greatly affect electrical energy

consumption and emissions. Acceleration should be

gradual.

● Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving

through standing water. This will minimize wave

effects.

CONDITIONS OF USE

● Driving through standing water may cause damage

to your vehicle’s drivetrain components. Always

inspect your vehicle’s fluids (i.e., engine oil,

transmission, axle, etc.) for signs of contamination

(i.e., fluid that is milky or foamy in appearance)

after driving through standing water. Do not

continue to operate the vehicle if any fluid appears

contaminated, as this may result in further

damage. Such damage is not covered by the New

Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Traffic And Road Conditions

Heavy traffic with fast acceleration causes high

electrical energy consumption. Winding mountain

roads and rough road surfaces also adversely affect

consumption.

● Getting water inside your vehicle’s engine can

cause it to lock up and stall out, and cause serious

internal damage to the engine. Such damage is

not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
