DRIVING AND OPERATING 323
The AEB system does not need
service.
Front Pedestrian Braking
(FPB) System
If equipped, the FPB system may help
avoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes with pedestrians
near the forward path of the vehicle
when driving in a forward gear. FPB
displays an amber indicator,
~, when
a nearby pedestrian is detected ahead.
When approaching a detected
pedestrian too quickly, FPB provides a
red flashing alert on the windshield
and rapidly beeps or pulses the driver
seat. FPB can provide a boost to
braking or automatically brake the
vehicle. This system includes
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA), and the
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
system may also respond to
pedestrians. See Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB) 0321.
The FPB system can detect and alert
to pedestrians in a forward gear at
speeds between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). During daytime
driving, the system detects pedestrians up to a distance of
approximately 40 m (131 ft). During
nighttime driving, system performance
is very limited.
{Warning
FPB does not provide an alert or
automatically brake the vehicle,
unless it detects a pedestrian. FPB
may not detect pedestrians,
including children:
.When the pedestrian is not
directly ahead, fully visible,
or standing upright, or when part
of a group.
.Due to poor visibility, including
nighttime conditions, fog, rain,
or snow.
.If the FPB sensor is blocked by
dirt, snow, or ice.
.If the headlamps or windshield
are not cleaned or in proper
condition.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Be ready to take action and apply
the brakes. For more information,
seeDefensive Driving 0232. Keep
the windshield, headlamps, and FPB
sensor clean and in good repair.
FPB can be set to Off, Alert, or Alert
and Brake through vehicle
personalization. See “Collision/
Detection Systems” underVehicle
Personalization 0140.
Detecting the Pedestrian Ahead
FPB alerts and automatic braking will
not occur unless the FPB system
detects a pedestrian. When a nearby
pedestrian is detected in front of the
vehicle, the pedestrian ahead indicator
will display amber.

15567102) - 2022 - CRC - 11/17/21
DRIVING AND OPERATING 325
Cleaning the System
If FPB does not seem to operate
properly, cleaning the outside of the
windshield in front of the rearview
mirror may correct the issue.
Night Vision System
If equipped, this system can help the
driver see and alert the driver to
pedestrians or large animals ahead of
the vehicle beyond the area lit by the
headlamps. A thermal heat image of
the view ahead is displayed when it is
dark enough outside. If a pedestrian
or large animal is detected more than
25 m (82 ft) away, a yellow box
appears around the pedestrian or large
animal. With the vehicle moving,
when the system detects a pedestrian
or large animal may approach or cross
the vehicle's path, an amber
pedestrian or animal icon displays and
an amber box appears around the
identified object. When the system
detects that the vehicle is approaching
a pedestrian or large animal ahead too
quickly, the yellow or amber box
changes to red.
With the Pedestrian Braking system
turned on, Night Vision provides a red
Head-Up Display (HUD) alert when
the system detects that the vehicle is
approaching a pedestrian ahead too
quickly. In addition, an alert beeps or
the Safety Alert Seat pulses,
if equipped. SeeFront Pedestrian
Braking (FPB) System 0323.
{Warning
The system does not detect all
objects or the vehicle distance from
objects. The system may not
provide a warning with enough time
to help avoid a crash.
1. Low-Beam Headlamps
2. High-Beam Headlamps
3. Night Vision System
By selecting a view on the instrument
cluster, the Night Vision image can be
displayed. See Instrument Cluster 0115
. The Night Vision system can operate
only if:
.The ignition is on.
.The vehicle is in P (Park) or a
forward gear.
.It is dark enough outside.
.The headlamps are on, except when
parked.

15567102) - 2022 - CRC - 11/17/21
DRIVING AND OPERATING 327
Warning (Continued)
.If the pedestrian is wearing
certain types of clothing.
.If headlamps are off, except
when parked.
.If the outside temperature
is high.
.Due to poor visibility, including
in heavy fog, rain, or snow.
.If the sensor is blocked by dirt,
snow, rain, or ice.
Be ready to take action and apply
the brakes. For more information,
see Defensive Driving 0232. Keep
the Night Vision sensor clean and
in good repair.
Night Vision Detection Unavailable
and icon
\is displayed when the
Night Vision system is unable to
detect pedestrians or animals. It may
be caused by high ambient
temperatures or other conditions. The
message can be dismissed and the
system does not need service. In rain, snow, or fog the image may
not be clear and the direction of the
road ahead may not be seen. In more
severe weather conditions, the image
may be unclear and unusable. The
system does not need service.
Keep the night vision camera clean by
activating the front windshield washer
five times when it is dark enough for
the system to operate. If the Night
Vision image still looks blurry, use a
soft wet cloth to gently clean the
sensor camera lens and dry
thoroughly. The night vision camera is
behind the lower front grille below the
driver side headlamp.
The camera must also be aligned to
work correctly. If the camera needs
adjustment, see your dealer. Do not
attempt to adjust the camera yourself.Side Blind Zone
Alert (SBZA)
If equipped, the SBZA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists drivers
with avoiding crashes that occur with
moving vehicles in the side blind
zone, or blind spot areas. When the
vehicle is in a forward gear, the left orright side mirror display will light up
if a moving vehicle is detected in that
blind zone. If the turn signal is
activated and a vehicle is also
detected on the same side, the display
will flash as an extra warning not to
change lanes. Since this system is part
of the Lane Change Alert (LCA)
system, read the entire LCA section
before using this feature.
Lane Change Alert (LCA)
If equipped, the Lane Change Alert
(LCA) system is a lane-changing aid
that can assist drivers with avoiding
lane change crashes with moving
vehicles in the side blind zone,
or blind spot areas or with vehicles
rapidly approaching these areas from
behind. When a vehicle is detected in
the blind zone, the LCA warning
display will light up in the
corresponding side mirror and will
flash if the turn signal is on. The Side
Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) system is
included as part of the LCA system.

DRIVING AND OPERATING 331
{Warning
The LKA system does not
continuously steer the vehicle.
It may not keep the vehicle in the
lane or give a Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) alert, even if a lane
marking is detected.
The LKA and LDW systems
may not:
.Provide an alert or enough
steering assist to avoid a lane
departure or crash.
.Detect lane markings under poor
weather or visibility conditions.
This can occur if the windshield
or headlamps are blocked by dirt,
snow, or ice; if they are not in
proper condition; or if the sun
shines directly into the camera.
.Detect road edges.
.Detect lanes on winding or hilly
roads.
If LKA only detects lane markings
on one side of the road, it will only
assist or provide an LDW alert (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
when approaching the lane on the
side where it has detected a lane
marking. Even with LKA and LDW,
you must steer the vehicle. Always
keep your attention on the road and
maintain proper vehicle position
within the lane, or vehicle damage,
injury, or death could occur. Always
keep the windshield, headlamps,
and camera sensors clean and in
good repair. Do not use LKA in bad
weather conditions or on roads with
unclear lane markings, such as
construction zones.
{Warning
Using LKA on slippery roads could
cause loss of control of the vehicle
and a crash. Turn the system off.
{Warning
LKA will not alert the driver if a
towed trailer crosses into an
adjacent lane of travel. Serious
injury or property damage may
occur if the trailer moves into
another lane. Always monitor the
trailer position while towing to
make sure it is within the same
lane as the tow vehicle.
How the System Works
LKA uses a camera sensor installed on
the windshield ahead of the rearview
mirror to detect lane markings. It may
provide brief steering assist if it
detects an unintended lane departure.
It may further provide an audible alert
or the driver seat may pulse indicating
that a lane marking has been crossed.
The system does not provide a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) when
intentionally steering across a lane
marker.
To turn LKA on and off, press
Aon
the center console. If equipped, the
indicator light on the button comes
on when LKA is on and turns off

both the vehicle anti-lock brakes and
the trailer brakes may not function,
which could result in a crash.
Trailer Wiring Harness
The seven-pin trailer connector is
mounted in the bumper. This
connector can be plugged into a
seven-pin universal heavy-duty trailer
connector available through your
dealer.
Use only a round, seven-wire
connector with flat blade terminals
meeting SAE J2863 specifications for
proper electrical connectivity.
The seven-wire harness contains the
following trailer circuits:
.Yellow/Grey: Left Stop/Turn Signal
.Green/Violet: Right Stop/Turn
Signal
.Grey/Brown: Taillamps
.White: Ground
.White/Green: Back-up Lamps
.Red/Green: Battery Feed
.Dark Blue: Trailer BrakeTo help charge a remote (non-vehicle)
battery, change drive mode to Tow
Haul. If the trailer is too light for
Tow/Haul Mode, turn on the
headlamps to help charge the battery.
Electric Brake Control Wiring
Provisions
These wiring provisions are included
with the vehicle as part of the trailer
wiring package. These provisions are
for an electric brake controller.
The harness should be installed by
your dealer or a qualified service
center.
Refer to the aftermarket electric trailer
brake controller owner's manual to
determine wire color coding of the
electric trailer brake controller. The
wire colors on the brake controller
may be different from the vehicle.
Trailer Lamps
Always check all trailer lamps are
working at the beginning of each trip,
and periodically on longer trips.
If equipped, the Trailering App will
monitor the RH turn/brake lamp
circuit, LH turn/brake lamp circuit,
running lamp circuit, and reverse
lamp circuits on the trailer. DIC
messages and Trailering App alerts
may be displayed if lighting circuit
issues are detected on the trailer.
Pressing START LIGHT TEST in the
Trailering App automatically activates
trailer lamps. The Trailering App is
not a substitute for manually
inspecting your trailer lamps. See
Trailering App
0355.
Trailer Connection and Lamp
Messages
When a trailer is properly connected
and working, no trailer connection or
lamp messages appear on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). However; if
the vehicle detects an issue with a
trailer connection or lamp, you may
see the following DIC message(s):
.TRAILER DISCONNECTED CHECK
CONNECTION appears when a
connected trailer is disconnected.
It appears immediately when the
vehicle is on, or upon the next

Headlamp Aiming
Front Headlamp Aiming
Headlamp aim has been preset and
should need no further adjustment.
If the vehicle is damaged in a crash,
the headlamp aim may be affected.
If adjustment to the headlamps is
necessary, see your dealer.
Bulb Replacement
For the proper type of replacement
bulbs, or any bulb changing procedure
not listed in this section, contact your
dealer.
Caution
Do not replace incandescent bulbs
with aftermarket LED replacement
bulbs. This can cause damage to
the vehicle electrical system.

3. Use the fuse puller to remove thefuse from the top or side, as shown
above.
4. If the fuse must be replaced immediately, spare fuses are also
provided on the instrument panel
end cap or borrow a replacement
fuse with the same amperage from
the fuse block. Choose a vehicle
feature that is not needed to safely
operate the vehicle. Repeat
Steps 2-3. 5. Insert the replacement fuse into
the empty slot of the blown fuse.
At the next opportunity, see your
dealer to replace the blown fuse.
Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may cause the
lamps to go on and off, or in some
cases to remain off. Have the
headlamp wiring checked right away if
the lamps go on and off or remain off.
Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to
heavy snow or ice, the windshield
wipers will stop until the motor cools
and will then restart.
Although the circuit is protected from
electrical overload, overload due to
heavy snow or ice may cause wiper
linkage damage. Always clear ice and
heavy snow from the windshield
before using the windshield wipers.
If the overload is caused by an
electrical problem and not snow or
ice, be sure to get it fixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the
chance of damage caused by electrical
problems.
{Danger
Fuses and circuit breakers are
marked with their ampere rating.
Do not exceed the
specified amperage rating when
replacing fuses and circuit breakers.
Use of an oversized fuse or circuit
breaker can result in a vehicle fire.
You and others could be seriously
injured or killed.
