92STARTING AND OPERATING
ACTIVATION

To activate the feature, make sure the Traffic Sign
Recognition (TSR), and Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA) systems
are both enabled within Uconnect Settings

Ú
page 130, then
activate the Active Speed Limiter system by pushing the Mode
button located on the left of the steering wheel.

The white ISA indicator light in the instrument cluster
display will illuminate to signal that the system has been
enabled, but not yet detected a speed limit sign.
NOTE:Adaptive Cruise Control will be unavailable while the
ISA system is in use.
SIGN CAPTURE MODES
The way in which the ISA system sets a new maximum
vehicle speed depends on the Sign Capture Mode set
within the Uconnect system. When a new maximum speed
limit is set, the ISA indicator light in the instrument cluster
display will change from white to green.
Confirmation Mode
When Confirmation Mode is selected, and the Traffic Sign
Recognition (TSR) system detects a new speed limit sign,
the driver will confirm this new speed by pushing the
SET switch upward briefly, then releasing. This
confirmation of the new speed must be done within
five seconds of a newly detect speed limit sign being
shown in the instrument cluster display. Automatic Mode
When Automatic Mode is selected, the ISA system will
automatically adjust the maximum vehicle speed when
the TSR system detects a new speed limit sign. The new
speed is shown in the instrument cluster display.
The driver can reject this new speed by pushing the SET
switch upward briefly, then releasing within five seconds
of the new speed limit sign being detected and the speed
being adjusted.
NOTE:If a newly detected speed limit sign indicates a speed
higher or lower than the current maximum speed limit of
the Active Speed Limiter system, a message along with an
up arrow or a down arrow will appear in the instrument
cluster display to alert the driver.
EXCEEDING THE SET SPEED
By fully pressing the accelerator pedal, the maximum set
speed of the vehicle can be exceeded while the system is
active.
When the maximum set speed is exceeded, the green
indicator light on the instrument cluster display will blink
until the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle
speed drops below the previously set maximum vehicle
speed. The ISA system will then resume normal operation.
DEACTIVATION
The ISA system will deactivate in the following situations:

When the Mode button is pushed again
 When the TSR system is deactivated
 When the TSR system cannot detect/display any speed
limit
 When the TSR system detects the end of the speed
limit zone
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS
Your vehicle is equipped with the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) system. ACC will adjust the vehicle speed up to the
preset speed to maintain a distance with the vehicle
ahead.
NOTE:If Active Speed Limiter is enabled, Adaptive Cruise Control
will be unavailable, and vice versa.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) increases the driving
convenience provided by Cruise Control while traveling on
highways and major roadways. However, it is not a safety
system and not designed to prevent collisions.

23_GG_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 92

STARTING AND OPERATING93
(Continued)
ACC will allow you to keep Cruise Control engaged in light
to moderate traffic conditions without the constant need
to reset your speed. ACC utilizes a radar sensor and a
forward facing camera designed to detect a vehicle
directly ahead of you to maintain a set speed.
NOTE:

If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will
apply limited braking or accelerate (not to exceed the
original set speed) automatically to maintain a preset
following distance, while matching the speed of the
vehicle ahead.
 Any chassis/suspension or tire size modifications to
the vehicle will affect the performance of the Adaptive
Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning system.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Operation
The buttons on the left side of the steering wheel operate
the ACC system.

Adaptive Cruise Control Buttons

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) System
Status
The instrument cluster display will show the current ACC
system settings. The information it displays depends on
ACC system status.
Push the Mode button to enable the ACC system.
WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience
system. It is not a substitute for active driver involve -
ment. 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.
 The ACC system:
 Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehi -
cles, and stationary objects (e.g., a stopped
vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
 Cannot take street, traffic, and weather condi -
tions into account, and may be limited upon
adverse sight distance conditions.
 Does not always fully recognize complex driving
conditions, which can result in wrong or missing
distance warnings.
You should turn the ACC system off:
 When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet,
heavy traffic, and complex driving situations
(i.e., in highway construction zones).
 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.
 When towing a trailer up or down steep slopes.
 When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a
constant speed.

on the speedometer at the location of the set speed.
NOTE:If the ACC system is canceled or paused, the triangle on
the speedometer will change to white, indicating the
saved set speed for when the RES button pushed.
Activating Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
The minimum set speed for the ACC system is 19 mph
(30 km/h).
NOTE:You cannot engage ACC under the following conditions:
When the brakes are applied
 When the parking brake is applied
 When the gear selector is in PARK, REVERSE or
NEUTRAL 
When the vehicle speed is below the minimum speed
range
 When the brakes are overheated
 When the driver’s door is open at low speeds
 When the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled at low speeds
 When there is a stationary vehicle in front of your
vehicle in close proximity
To Activate/Deactivate
Push and release the Mode button located on the left side
of the steering wheel to activate ACC. Then proceed to
setting the desired speed as described in the next section.
NOTE:Active Speed Limiter will be unavailable while ACC is in
use.
To turn the system off, push and release the Mode button
again. At this time, the system will turn off and Active
Speed Limiter will be active.
The system will also turn off during any of the conditions
listed in “To Turn Off”
Úpage 95.
To Set A Desired Speed
When the vehicle has reached the desired speed, push
the SET switch up or down briefly, then release. The
instrument cluster display will show the set speed.

If ACC is set when the vehicle speed is
below
19 mph
(30 km/h), the set speed will default to 19 mph (30 km/h).

If either system is set when the vehicle speed is above
19 mph (30 km/h), the set speed shall be the current speed of the vehicle.
NOTE:
 Keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal can cause
the vehicle to continue to accelerate beyond the set
speed.
 If you continue to accelerate beyond the set speed
while ACC is enabled, the system will not be controlling
the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead. The vehicle speed will only be determined by
the position of the accelerator pedal.
WARNING!
Leaving the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system on
when not in use is dangerous. You could accidentally
set the system or cause it to go faster than you want.
You could lose control and have a collision. Always leave
the system off when you are not using it.
WARNING!
If the Active Speed Limiter is active, the system will not
react to vehicles ahead. In addition, the proximity
warning does not activate and no alarm will sound even
if you are too close to the vehicle ahead since neither
the presence of the vehicle ahead nor the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance is detected. Be sure to
maintain a safe distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead. Always be aware which mode is
selected.

STARTING AND OPERATING101
Setting The ACC Speed Using Confirmation Mode
When Confirmation Mode is selected, and the Traffic Sign
Recognition (TSR) system detects a new speed limit sign,
the driver will confirm this new speed by pushing
the SET switch upward briefly, then releasing. This
confirmation of the new speed must be done within
five seconds of a newly detected speed limit sign being
shown in the instrument cluster display.
Setting The ACC Speed Using Automatic Mode
When Automatic Mode is selected, the ACC system will
automatically adjust the speed setting when the TSR
system detects a new speed limit sign.
The driver can reject this new speed by pushing the SET
switch upward briefly, then releasing within five seconds
of the new speed limit sign being detected and the speed
being adjusted.
Set the desired following distance as you normally would
using the ACC system
Úpage 96.
ACTIVE DRIVING ASSIST SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
OPERATION
The Active Driving Assist (ADA) system is combined with
the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system, and centers the
vehicle in the driving lane while traveling at speeds up to
93 mph (150 km/h). For ACC system operating instructions and system
limitations, see
Úpage 92.
NOTE:

The driver should always obey traffic laws and speed
limits. Never drive above applicable speed limit restric -
tions.
 The driver can override ADA at any time by braking,
accelerating, or steering the vehicle.
Just like ACC, ADA will maintain a set speed as long as the
set distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front
is maintained. ADA will also keep your vehicle centered
between the lane lines, and monitor for other vehicles in
adjacent lanes by utilizing the Blind Spot Monitoring
sensors.
ADA uses sensors within the steering wheel to measure
driver attentiveness. ADA requires the driver’s hands on
the steering wheel at all times. The system will generally
aim to keep the vehicle centered in the lane, but when the
driver turns the steering wheel (e.g. to move farther away
from a large vehicle in an adjacent lane) the system will
reduce its control and enter "co-steering" mode. While in
co-steering mode, the system will provide reduced
assistance and allow the driver to control the path of the
vehicle. Once the driver stops providing input to the
steering wheel, the system will require a few seconds to
fully resume lane centering assistance, especially during
curves.
WARNING!
The Active Driving Assist (ADA) system 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, weather conditions, vehicle
speed, distance to the vehicle ahead, position in the
lane compared to other vehicles, and 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.
You should turn off the Active Driving Assist system:
 When driving in complex driving situations
(e.g. urban environments, construction zones, etc.),
adverse weather or low visibility conditions (e.g. rain,
snow, fog, sleet, dust), or adverse road conditions
(e.g. heavy traffic, worn or missing lane markings,
etc.).
 When entering a highway off-ramp, when driving on
roads that are icy, snow covered, or slippery.
 When driving during difficult or uncertain conditions.

104STARTING AND OPERATING
MINIMUM RISK MANEUVER
When the vehicle begins the hands-off steering wheel
warning escalation, previously described, the system will
initiate the Minimum Risk Maneuver for bringing the
vehicle to a stop.
After 23 seconds from the initial absence of the hands on
the steering wheel, the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
system will apply a brake jerk to warn the driver to take
vehicle control. If, after another 3 seconds the driver does
not take the control of the vehicle, the system will apply a
second brake jerk.
If the absence of hands on the steering wheel persists, the
system will apply automatic braking to bring the vehicle to
the stop and activate the vehicle’s hazard warning lights.
After the vehicle is stopped, the system will unlock the
doors (if previously locked).
NOTE:If the driver takes control of the vehicle during the
Minimum Risk Maneuver by placing hands on the steering
wheel or pressing the accelerator, the system Minimum
Risk Maneuver will be canceled, and the ADA system will
resume normal function.
SYSTEM STATUS
Along with changes in the system’s indicator lights (green,
yellow, and red), the system can also issue several
accompanying warnings intended to provide the driver
with enough time to react, avoid or mitigate a potential
collision.
Two haptic brake jerk warnings will be issued (red
warning light is being issued).
 A steering wheel vibration warning (if enabled) will
occur if the vehicle crosses a lane marker, for example,
when driving on a tight curve. The steering wheel vibra -
tion feature can be turned on or off within the Uconnect
system
Úpage 130.
SYSTEM OPERATION/LIMITATIONS
The Active Driving Assist system DOES NOT:
 Warn or prevent collisions with other vehicles
 Steer your vehicle around stopped vehicles, slower
vehicles, construction equipment, pedestrians, or
animals
 Respond to traffic lights or stop signs
 Merge onto highways or exit off ramps
 Turn your vehicle
 Change lanes
 React to cross traffic
NOTE:Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a core component of ADA.
For ACC system limitations, see Úpage 92.
The Active Driving Assist system may have limited or
reduced functionality when one of the following conditions
occur:
 The vehicle’s radar sensors and/or forward facing
camera is damaged, covered, misaligned, or
obstructed (e.g. by mud, ice, snow, etc.)
 If the suspension alignment is not correct, if the vehicle
is modified (e.g. lifting or lowering the suspension,
installing different sized wheels or tires)
 Driving near highway toll booths
NOTE:If damage to the windshield occurs, have the windshield
replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
WARNING!
The DDD system is an aid for driving and does not
relieve the driver of the responsibility of driving the
vehicle. If you experience fatigue while driving, pull over
safely for a break without waiting for the DDD warnings.
Only return to the road when you are in the right
physical and mental condition to prevent endangering
yourself and other drivers.

108STARTING AND OPERATING
(Continued)
Side Distance Warning Usage Precautions
Some conditions may influence the performance of the
Side Distance Warning system:
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.
 Construction equipment, large trucks, and other vibra -
tions could affect the performance of ParkSense.
 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.
 The presence of a tow hook without a trailer may inter -
fere with the correct operation of the parking sensors.
Before using the ParkSense system, it is recom -
mended 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 tow hook
could be detected as an obstacle by the sensors.
Contact your authorized dealer to update the
ParkSense system operations.

PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED

The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is intended to
assist the driver during parallel, perpendicular, and
parallel park exit maneuvers by identifying a proper
parking space, providing audible/visual instructions, and
controlling the steering wheel. The ParkSense Active Park
Assist system is defined as “semi-automatic” since the
driver maintains control of the accelerator, gear selector
and brakes. Depending on the driver's parking maneuver
selection, the ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
capable of maneuvering a vehicle into a parallel or a
perpendicular parking space on either side (i.e., driver
side or passenger side), as well as exiting a parallel
parking space.
NOTE:
 The driver is always responsible for controlling the
vehicle, responsible for any surrounding objects, and
must intervene as required.
 The system is designed to assist the driver and not to
substitute the driver.
WARNING!
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 respon -
sible for safety and must continue to pay attention to
your surroundings. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
 Before using ParkSense, 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/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.
CAUTION!
ParkSense 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.
The vehicle must be driven slowly when using
ParkSense 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
ParkSense.
CAUTION!

23_GG_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 108

STARTING AND OPERATING109
During a semi-automatic maneuver, if the driver
touches the steering wheel after being instructed to
remove their hands from the steering wheel, the
system will cancel, and the driver will be required to
manually complete the parking maneuver.
 The system may not work in all conditions (e.g. environ -
mental conditions such as heavy rain, snow, etc., or if
searching for a parking space that has surfaces that
will absorb the ultrasonic sensor waves).
 New vehicles from the dealership must have at least
30 miles (48 km) accumulated before the ParkSense
Active Park Assist system is fully calibrated and
performs accurately. This is due to the system’s
dynamic vehicle calibration to improve the perfor -
mance of the feature. The system will also continuously
perform the dynamic vehicle calibration to account for
differences such as over or under inflated tires and
new tires.
ENABLING AND DISABLING THE
P
ARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK ASSIST
S
YSTEM
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system can
be enabled and disabled with the ParkSense
Active Park Assist switch, located in front of the
center console, to the rear of the gear selector. To enable the ParkSense Active Park Assist system, push
the ParkSense Active Park Assist switch once (LED turns
on). Pushing the switch a second time will disable the
system (LED turns off).
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will turn off
automatically for any of the following conditions:

Parking maneuver is complete.
 Vehicle speed is greater than 18 mph (30 km/h) when
searching for a parking space.
 Vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (7 km/h) during
active steering guidance into the parking space.
 Steering Wheel is touched during active steering guid -
ance into the parking space.
 ParkSense Front and Rear Park Assist switch is
pushed.
 Driver's door is opened.
 Rear liftgate is opened.
 Electronic Stability Control/Anti-lock Braking System
intervention.
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will allow a
maximum number of shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE.
If the maneuver cannot be completed within the maximum
amount of shifts, the system will cancel and the
instrument cluster display will instruct the driver to
complete the maneuver manually. The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will only operate
and search for a parking space when the following
conditions are present:

Gear selector is in DRIVE.
 Ignition is in the RUN position.
 ParkSense Active Park Assist switch is activated.
 Driver's door is closed.
 Rear liftgate is closed.
 Vehicle speed is less than 18 mph (30 km/h).
 The outer surface and the underside of the front and
rear fascias/bumpers are clean and clear of snow, ice,
mud, dirt or other obstructions.
NOTE:If the vehicle is driven above approximately 15 mph
(25 km/h), the instrument cluster display will instruct the
driver to slow down. If the vehicle is driven above approxi -
mately 18 mph (30 km/h), the system will cancel. The driver must then reactivate the system by pushing the
ParkSense Active Park Assist switch.
When pushed, the LED on the ParkSense Active Park
Assist switch will blink momentarily, and then the LED will
turn off if any of the preceding conditions are not present.
If the vehicle is in any other gear than DRIVE, and an
objected is detected, the system will default to Parallel
Park Exit. A prompt will appear in the radio screen, and the
driver will need to select “Yes” or “No” for a Parallel Park
Exit maneuver. Any other conditions will result in a default
to a Parallel Parking maneuver.
