Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to
ash to signal a lane change. Hold it there until the
lane change is complete. The lever returns to its
original position when it is released.
Rapid ashing of arrows when signaling for a turn
or lane change may be caused by a burned-out
signal bulb. Other driver’s will not see the signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. Check the fuse and for burned-out bulbs
if the arrow fails to work when signaling a turn.
SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 487for

not be enabled and you will not be provided
with FCA audible and visual warnings. See
Head-Up Display (HUD) on page 223for more
information.
{CAUTION:
On winding roads, FCA may not detect
a vehicle ahead. You could crash into
a vehicle ahead of you. Do not rely on
FCA on winding roads.
When weather limits visibility, such as
in fog, rain, or snow, FCA performance
is limited. There may not be enough
warning distance to the vehicle in front
of you. Do not rely on FCA in low
visibility conditions.
{CAUTION:

The mist and wash cycles operate as normal and
are not affected by the Rainsense™ function.
The Rainsense™ system can be overridden at any
time by manually turning the wiper band to low
or high speed.
When Rainsense™ is active, the headlamps will
turn on automatically. The headlamps will turn
off again once the wipers turn off if it is light
enough outside. If it is dark, they will remain on.
SeeWiper Activated Headlamps on page 215.
Notice:Do not place stickers or other items
on the exterior glass surface directly in front of
the moisture sensor. Doing this could cause
the moisture sensor to malfunction.

continue to clear the window for about six seconds
after the button is released and then stop or
return to your preset speed.
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your
washer until the windshield is warmed.
Otherwise the washer uid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking your vision.
If the uid in the windshield washer uid reservoir
is low, the message CHECK WASHER FLUID
will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC)
display. It will take 60 seconds after the bottle
is relled for this message to turn off. For
information on the correct washer uid mixture to
use, seeWindshield Washer Fluid on page 404
andRecommended Fluids and Lubricants on
page 516.

Engaging Adaptive Cruise Control With
the Set Button
{CAUTION:
If you leave your Adaptive Cruise Control
switch on when you are not using cruise,
you might hit a button and go into cruise
when you do not want to. You could be
startled and even lose control. Keep the
Adaptive Cruise Control switch off until
you want to use cruise control.
{CAUTION:
If you operate Adaptive Cruise Control
without your Head-up Display (HUD)
properly adjusted, your Adaptive Cruise
Control settings may not be visible. You
could forget your settings and be startled
by Adaptive Cruise Control response and
even lose control. Keep your HUD on and
properly adjusted when using Adaptive
Cruise Control.
The set speed is selected by the driver. This is the
speed you will travel if there is no vehicle
detected in your path.
200

To set Adaptive Cruise Control, do the following:
1. Make sure the Head-Up Display (HUD) is
on and properly adjusted. You cannot
engage Adaptive Cruise Control unless the
HUD is on. SeeHead-Up Display (HUD)
on page 223for more information.
2. Move the switch to on.
3. Get up to the speed you want.
4. Press in the set button at the end of the lever
and release it.
5. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Once Adaptive Cruise Control is set, it may
immediately apply the brakes if it detects a vehicle
ahead is too close or moving slower than your
vehicle.This symbol will
appear on the Head-Up
Display (HUD) to
indicate that Adaptive
Cruise Control is active.
The number indicates
the set speed.
SeeHead-Up Display (HUD) on page 223for
more information.
Make sure the set speed is visible on the HUD so
you know the speed your vehicle will accelerate to if
a vehicle is not detected in your path. Keep in mind
speed limits, surrounding traffic speeds and
weather conditions when adjusting your set speed.
If your vehicle is in Adaptive Cruise Control when
the traction control system begins to limit wheel
spin, the Adaptive Cruise Control will automatically
disengage. SeeTraction Control System (TCS) on
page 323andStabiliTrak
®System on page 326.
When road conditions allow you to safely use it
again, you may turn the Adaptive Cruise Control
back on.

Increasing Set Speed While Using Adaptive
Cruise Control
There are two ways to increase the set speed:
Use the accelerator to get to the higher speed.
Press the set button at the end of the lever,
then release the button and the accelerator
pedal. You will now cruise at the higher speed.
Move the Adaptive Cruise Control switch from
on to resume/increase. Hold it there until the
desired set speed is displayed in the HUD,
then release the switch. To increase your set
speed in very small amounts, move the
switch briey to resume/increase. Each time
you do this, your vehicle set speed will
increase by 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
Your vehicle will not reach the set speed until the
system determines there is not a vehicle in
front of you. At that point, your vehicle speed will
increase to the set speed.
Decreasing Set Speed While Using
Adaptive Cruise Control
Press in the set/decrease button on the end of the
lever until you reach the lower speed you want,
then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, briey press
the set/decrease button. Each time you do this,
your set speed will be 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your Adaptive Cruise Control at
a desired speed and then you apply the brake.
This will disengage the Adaptive Cruise Control.
But you do not need to reset it.
Once you are going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, move the Adaptive Cruise Control
switch briey from on to resume/increase. Adaptive
Cruise Control will be engaged with the previously
chosen set speed.
202

Low-Speed Deactivation
If your speed falls below 20 mph (32 km/h) while
following a vehicle ahead, Adaptive Cruise Control
will begin to disengage. The driver alert symbol
on the HUD will ash and the warning beep
will sound. The driver must take action since
Adaptive Cruise Control will not slow the vehicle
to a stop.
Deactivation When Head-Up Display is
Turned Off
If you turn the HUD off when Adaptive Cruise
Control is engaged, it will begin to disengage. A
warning beep will sound and the message RADAR
CRUISE NOT READY will appear on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 264for additional
information. If Adaptive Cruise Control was braking
when the HUD is turned off, the braking will
continue briey.
Passing a Vehicle/Adaptive Cruise
Control Override
If you need to increase speed to pass a vehicle, use
the accelerator pedal. While you are doing this, the
system will not automatically apply the brakes. A
PEDAL APPLIED ACC OVERRIDE message will
appear on the HUD. SeeHead-Up Display (HUD)
on page 223for additional information. Once you
pass the vehicle and remove your foot from the
accelerator pedal, Adaptive Cruise Control will
return to normal operation and be able to apply the
brakes, if needed.
{CAUTION:
If you rest your foot on the accelerator
pedal, the system will not automatically
apply the brakes. You could crash into a
vehicle ahead of you. Do not rest your
foot on the accelerator pedal when using
Adaptive Cruise Control.
