Driving with the Adaptive Headlight
System
If equipped, this feature allows the
high beam to function as the main
driving light at night. The camera in
the windshield detects the lights of
oncoming or preceding vehicles.
Individual segments of the headlamp
high beam are faded out according to
the traffic situation, preventing high
beam light from shining onto
incoming or preceding traffic. This
gives the best light distribution
without glaring other road users.
The high beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot
detect another vehicle's lamps because
of any of the following:
. The other vehicle's lamps are
missing, damaged, obstructed from
view, or otherwise undetected.
. The other vehicle's lamps are
covered with dirt, snow, and/or
road spray.
. The other vehicle's lamps cannot
be detected due to dense exhaust,
smoke, fog, snow, road spray, mist,
or other airborne obstructions.
. The vehicle's windshield is dirty,
cracked, or obstructed by
something that blocks the view of
the light sensor.
. The vehicle is loaded such that the
front end points upward, causing
the light sensor to aim high and
not detect headlamps and
taillamps.
. Driving on winding or hilly roads.
The automatic high-beam headlamps
may need to be disabled if any of the
above conditions exist.

226 DRIVING AND OPERATING
Warning (Continued)
.The vehicle is not in
R (Reverse).
To help avoid death or injury,
always check for pedestrians
around the vehicle before backing
up. Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. See Defensive
Driving 0166. Keep the RVC,
taillamps, and back-up lamps clean
and in good repair.
Rear Pedestrian Alert can be set to Off
or Alert. See “Rear Pedestrian
Detection ”in “Collision/Detection
Systems” underVehicle Personalization
0 135. If equipped, alerts can be set to
beeps or seat pulses. See “Alert Type”
in “Collision/Detection Systems” under
Vehicle Personalization 0135.
Assistance Systems for
Driving
If equipped, when driving the vehicle
in a forward gear, Forward Collision
Alert (FCA), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Side
Blind Zone Alert (SBZA), Lane Change
Alert (LCA), Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB), and/or the Front
Pedestrian Braking (FPB) System can
help to avoid a crash or reduce crash
damage.
Forward Collision Alert
(FCA) System
If equipped, the FCA system may help
to avoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes. When approaching
a vehicle ahead too quickly, FCA
provides a red flashing alert on the
windshield and rapidly beeps or pulses
the driver seat. FCA also lights an
amber visual alert if following another
vehicle much too closely.
FCA detects vehicles within a distance
of approximately 60 m (197 ft) and
operates at speeds above 8 km/h
(5 mph). If the vehicle has Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC), it can detect
vehicles to distances of approximately
110 m (360 ft) and operates at all
speeds. See
Adaptive Cruise Control
0 205.
{Warning
FCA is a warning system and does
not apply the brakes. When
approaching a slower-moving or
stopped vehicle ahead too rapidly,
or when following a vehicle too
closely, FCA may not provide a
warning with enough time to help
avoid a crash. It also may not
provide any warning at all. FCA
does not warn of pedestrians,
animals, signs, guardrails, bridges,
construction barrels, or other
objects. Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. See Defensive
Driving 0166.
FCA can be disabled. See “Collision/

{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 Cluster0113. 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.
Adjust the instrument panel
brightness to make the image no
brighter than necessary. Turn the
image off by selecting another view
on the instrument cluster.
Warm objects, such as pedestrians,
animals, and other moving vehicles,
should appear whiter on the Night
Vision display. Cold objects, such as
the sky, signs, and parked vehicles,
should appear darker. Night Vision
only shows objects that are warmer or
colder than the surroundings. It does
not detect brake lamps, turn signals,
emergency flashers, traffic lights,
or sign information. Use this system as an aid by
occasionally glancing at the image. Do
not stare at the image or use the
image under well-lit conditions.
{Warning
Do not stare at the image while
driving as this might cause
important objects ahead not to be
seen. You could crash, and you or
others could be injured.
When a pedestrian or large animal is
detected, an amber box displays
around the pedestrian or animal on
the Night Vision display and an amber
pedestrian icon,
~, or animal
icon,
!, displays on the instrument
cluster. This pedestrian icon is also
shown on the Head-Up Display (HUD).
When the system detects the vehicle
is approaching a pedestrian much too
quickly, the amber pedestrian icon
and box turns red, and a red flashing
icon,
~, displays on the HUD with
rapid beeping or pulsing of the Safety
Alert Seat, if equipped.

236 DRIVING AND OPERATING
How the System Works
The LCA symbol lights up in the side
mirrors when the system detects a
moving vehicle in the next lane over
that is in the side blind zone or
rapidly approaching that zone from
behind. A lit LCA symbol indicates it
may be unsafe to change lanes. Before
making a lane change, check the LCA
display, check mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use the turn
signals.
Left Side MirrorDisplayRight Side Mirror Display
When the vehicle is started, both
outside mirror LCA displays will
briefly come on to indicate the system
is operating. When the vehicle is in a
forward gear, the left or right side
mirror display will light up if a moving
vehicle is detected in the next lane
over in that blind zone or rapidly
approaching that zone. If the turn signal is activated in the same
direction as a detected vehicle, this
display will flash as an extra warning
not to change lanes.
LCA is disabled when the trailer
connection status is displayed. A DIC
message may display. The SBZA
system still operates.
LCA can be disabled through vehicle
personalization. When you disable
LCA, SBZA is also disabled. See
Vehicle
Personalization 0135. If LCA is
disabled by the driver, the LCA mirror
displays will not light up.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The LCA system requires some driving
for the system to calibrate to
maximum performance. This
calibration may occur more quickly if
the vehicle is driving on a straight
highway road with traffic and roadside
objects (e.g., guardrails, barriers).
LCA displays may not come on when
passing a vehicle quickly, for a
stopped vehicle, or when towing a
trailer. The LCA detection zones that
extend back from the side of the vehicle do not move further back
when a trailer is towed. Use caution
while changing lanes when towing a
trailer. LCA may alert to objects
attached to the vehicle, such as a
trailer, bicycle, or object extending out
to either side of the vehicle. Attached
objects may also interfere with the
detection of vehicles. This is normal
system operation; the vehicle does not
need service.
LCA may not always alert the driver to
vehicles in the next lane over,
especially in wet conditions or when
driving on sharp curves. The system
does not need to be serviced. The
system may light up due to guardrails,
signs, trees, shrubs, and other
non-moving objects. This is normal
system operation; the vehicle does not
need service.
LCA may not operate when the LCA
sensors in the left or right corners of
the rear bumper are covered with
mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush, or in
heavy rainstorms. For cleaning
instructions, see "Washing the
Vehicle" under
Exterior Care0324.
If the DIC still displays the system
