STARTING AND OPERATING91
NOTE:
The Mode button also activates the Adaptive Cruise 
Control (ACC) system. Pushing the Mode button will 
switch between activating the Active Speed Limiter or 
the Adaptive Cruise Control systems. They cannot be 
active at the same time.
 The Active Speed Limiter can be set while the vehicle is 
in motion, or with the gear selector in the PARK posi -
tion.
ACTIVATION
To activate the feature, push the Mode button located on 
the left side of the steering wheel. A white indicator light in 
the instrument cluster display to signal that Active Speed 
Limiter has been enabled.
After the Active Speed Limiter system is enabled, activate 
the system by setting the speed limit of the vehicle by 
pushing the SET switch upward or downward.
Pushing the SET switch upward or downward to the first 
detent, and releasing, will result in a 1 mph (1 km/h) 
speed adjustment. Each subsequent movement of the 
switch to the first detent will result in an adjustment of 
1 mph (1 km/h).
If the switch is pushed upward or downward briefly to 
the second detent, the set speed will adjust in 5 mph 
(10 km/h) increments. The new set speed is reflected in 
the instrument cluster display. If the switch is held upward or downward, the set speed 
will continue to adjust until the switch is released.
NOTE:
Once the speed as been set, the indicator light in the 
instrument cluster display will change to green.
 If Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) or the Active Speed 
Limiter is active when the ignition is placed in the 
OFF position, it will remain activated when the vehicle 
is started again.
 ACC will be unavailable while the Active Speed Limiter 
is in use.
EXCEEDING THE SET SPEED
By fully pressing the accelerator pedal, the programmed 
maximum speed can be exceeded while the device is 
active.
In the event that the Active Speed Limiter set value is 
exceeded manually with a driver acceleration, an audible 
chime will sound. The indicator light will flash rapidly, and 
a message will appear in the instrument cluster display.
The feature will remain disabled until the vehicle speed 
drops below the set Active Speed Limiter value, where it 
will reactivate automatically.
NOTE:While driving at a higher speed than previously set, the set 
limit can be updated by pushing the SET switch upward or 
downward to the new desired speed.
DEACTIVATION
To turn off Active Speed Limiter, push the Mode button 
again. The indicator light in the instrument cluster display 
will no longer be illuminated to confirm that the feature 
has been turned off, and Adaptive Cruise Control will be 
active.
The Active Speed Limiter can be deactivated by pressing 
the CANC button. In this case, the system is not completely 
turned off, and the driver can reactivate the Active Speed 
Limiter by pressing the RES button to the previously set 
speed.
INTELLIGENT SPEED ASSIST (ISA) — 
IF EQUIPPED
The Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA) system 
combines the Active Speed Limiter and 
Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) systems to 
automatically adjust the maximum speed of 
the vehicle based on detected speed limit signs.
When the ISA system is activated, the maximum speed of 
the vehicle will be adjusted according to the detected 
traffic signs depending on the Sign Capture Mode selected 
within Uconnect Settings  
Úpage 130.

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   
Page 95 of 288

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.

94STARTING AND OPERATING  
Adaptive Cruise Control Off
When ACC is deactivated, all ACC visualizations will not be 
shown in the instrument cluster display.
Adaptive Cruise Control Ready
When ACC is activated, but the vehicle speed setting has 
not been selected, the white ACC icon will illuminate above 
dashes in place of a speed in the instrument cluster 
display.
Adaptive Cruise Control Set
When the vehicle has reached the desired speed, push 
the SET switch up or down briefly, then release. When the 
ACC speed is set, the green ACC icon over the set speed 
will illuminate in the instrument cluster display.
When the ACC menu screen is not being viewed in the 
instrument cluster display, a green triangle will illuminate 
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.

To Turn Off
The system will turn off and clear the set speed in memory 
if:
The Mode button is pushed
 The ignition is placed in the OFF position
To Resume
If ACC was canceled, and there is a set speed in memory, 
push the RES (resume) button and remove your foot from 
the accelerator pedal. The instrument cluster display will 
show the last set speed. Resume can be used at any speed above 0 mph (0 km/h) 
when ACC is active.
NOTE:ACC cannot be resumed if there is a stationary vehicle in 
front of your vehicle in close proximity.
To Vary The Speed Setting
To Increase Or Decrease The Set Speed
After setting a speed, you can adjust the speed by pushing 
the SET switch upward or decrease the speed by pushing 
the SET switch downward.
U.S. Speed (mph)
Pushing the SET switch upward or downward to the first 
detent will result in a 1 mph speed adjustment. Each 
subsequent movement of the switch to the first detent 
will result in an adjustment of 1 mph.
 If the switch is pushed upward or downward briefly to 
the second detent, the set speed will adjust in 5 mph 
increments. The new set speed is reflected in the 
instrument cluster display. 
If the switch is held upward or downward, the set speed 
will continue to adjust until the switch is released.
Metric Speed (km/h)
 Pushing the SET switch upward or downward to the first 
detent will result in a 1 km/h speed adjustment. Each 
subsequent movement of the switch to the first detent 
will result in an adjustment of 1 km/h.
 If the switch is pushed upward or downward briefly to 
the second detent, the set speed will adjust in 10 km/h 
increments. The new set speed is reflected in the instru -
ment cluster display.
 If the switch is held upward or downward, the set speed 
will continue to adjust until the switch is released.
NOTE:
When you override the set speed by pushing the SET 
switch upward or downward, the new set speed will be 
the current speed of the vehicle.
 When you use the SET switch to decelerate, if the 
engine’s braking power does not slow the vehicle suffi -
ciently to reach the set speed, the brake system will 
automatically slow the vehicle.
 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).
WARNING!
The Resume function should only be used if traffic and 
road conditions permit. Resuming a set speed that is 
too high or too low for prevailing traffic and road 
conditions could cause the vehicle to accelerate or 
decelerate too sharply for safe operation. Failure to 
follow these warnings can result in a collision and death 
or serious personal injury.

96STARTING AND OPERATING  
TO ACCELERATE FOR PASSING
While the Cruise Control is set, press the accelerator to 
pass as you would normally. When the pedal is released, 
the vehicle will return to the set speed.
Using Cruise Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to maintain the 
vehicle set speed.
The Cruise Control system maintains speed up and down 
hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. 
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so it 
may be preferable to drive without Cruise Control.
Setting The Following Distance In ACC
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.
Distance Settings
To decrease the distance setting, push the Distance 
Setting Button and release. Each time the button is 
pushed, the distance setting increases by one bar (longer). 
Once the longest setting is reached, if the button is 
pushed again it will be set to the shortest setting available.
If a slower moving vehicle is detected in the same lane, 
the system will then adjust vehicle speed automatically to 
maintain the distance setting, regardless of the set speed.
The vehicle will then maintain the set distance until:
The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed above the 
set speed.
 The vehicle ahead moves out of your lane or view of the 
sensor. 
The distance setting is changed.
 The system disengages  
Úpage 94.
The maximum braking applied by ACC is limited; however, 
the driver can always apply the brakes manually, if 
necessary.
NOTE:The brake lights will illuminate whenever the ACC system 
applies the brakes.
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!” (or 
similar warning message) will flash in the instrument 
cluster display and a chime will sound while ACC continues 
to apply its maximum braking force.
NOTE:The “BRAKE!” screen in the instrument cluster display is a 
warning for the driver to take action and does not neces -
sarily mean that the Forward Collision Warning system is 
applying the brakes autonomously.
Overtake Aid
When driving with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) engaged 
and following a vehicle, the system will provide an 
additional acceleration up to the ACC set speed to assist 
in passing the vehicle. This additional acceleration is 
triggered when the driver utilizes the left turn signal and 
will only be active when passing on the left hand side.
WARNING!
Cruise Control can be dangerous where the system 
cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could 
go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose control 
and have an accident. Do not use Cruise Control in 
heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, 
snow-covered or slippery.

STARTING AND OPERATING97
Display Warnings And Maintenance
LIMITED OPERATION WARNING
If a warning message appears in the instrument cluster 
display indicating limited operation of the ACC system, a 
fault or obstruction of the system’s radar or camera may 
have occurred.
If an obstruction is detected, clean the area of the 
windshield opposite the interior rearview mirror, where the 
camera is located, as well as the area of the front fascia/
bumper where the sensor is located. Then check that the 
message has disappeared.
When the conditions limiting the system function as been 
corrected, normal operation will resume.
Should the fault persist, contact 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:
TOWING A TRAILER
Towing a trailer is not recommended when using ACC.
OFFSET DRIVING
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.
Offset Driving Condition Example
TURNS AND BENDS
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.
NOTE:On tight turns ACC performance may be limited.
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.

STARTING AND OPERATING99
TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION —
IF EQUIPPED
The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system uses a camera 
mounted on the windshield, as well as map data when the 
vehicle is equipped with Navigation, to detect 
recognizable road signs such as:
Speed limits
 School zones
 No passing zones
NOTE:
The TSR system will automatically display the road sign 
detected in the unit of measurement (mph or km/h) 
selected within Uconnect Settings, or within the instru -
ment cluster display.
 If no speed limit signs are detected, the system will 
revert to the speed limit signs that are stored in the 
Navigation system.
 The system always checks the traffic signs indicating 
the current speed limit signs. The system is able to 
recognize and display up to two different road signs in 
the instrument cluster display.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
The TSR System can be enabled/disabled within the 
Uconnect system  Úpage 130. System ON is signaled by 
road signs shown on the instrument cluster display.
NOTE:
 The TSR system will keep the activated/deactivated 
selection in memory between key cycles.
 Even if the system is disabled, the speed limit sign will 
be displayed when the driver selects it in the Driver 
Assist menu.
TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION MODES
TSR has three selectable modes of operation that are 
available through the Uconnect system.
Visual
When Visual is selected, the system will alert the driver 
when the current speed of the vehicle exceeds the 
detected speed limit by showing a graphic in the 
instrument cluster display. Visual + Chime
When Visual + Chime is selected, the system will alert the 
driver when the current speed of the vehicle exceeds the 
detected speed limit by showing a graphic in the 
instrument cluster display, and by sounding an audible 
alert. The audible alert will last for 10 seconds, and the 
visual alert will remain on as long as the vehicle is 
exceeding the speed limit.
NOTE:Whenever an audible alert is requested by the TSR 
system, the radio is also muted.
TSR Off
When the TSR system is turned off, the system will not 
show any traffic signs (unless selected in the Driver Assist 
menu, which will show detected speed limit signs), and no 
alerts will be issued to the driver.

NOTE:Supplemental information will not be displayed when the 
vehicle is ONLY equipped with GPS.
Speed Limit Exceeded
When the vehicle’s speed exceeds the displayed speed 
limit, the speed limit sign on the instrument cluster display 
will show a red outline to alert the driver.
INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL — 
IF EQUIPPED
The Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (IACC) system 
allows the driver to set the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) 
speed to be equal to the traffic signs detected by the 
Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system  
Úpage 99.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
IACC is enabled when ACC has been activated using the 
Mode button on the left side of the steering wheel, and 
either “Confirmation” or “Automatic” sign capture mode is 
selected within the Uconnect system  
Úpage 130. System 
ON is signaled by a green circle around the detected road 
sign in the instrument cluster display.
1 — Next Speed Limit Detected

(School Zone)
CAUTION!
Functionality may be limited or the system may not 
work if the sensor is obstructed.
 The system may have limited operation or not work at 
all in weather conditions such as heavy rain, hail, and 
thick fog. Strong light contrasts can influence the 
recognition capability of the sensor.
The area surrounding the sensor must not be 
covered with stickers or any other object.
 Do not tamper or perform any operations in the area of 
the windshield glass directly surrounding the sensor.
 Clean foreign matters such as bird droppings, insects, 
snow or ice on the windshield. Use specific detergents 
and clean cloths to avoid scratching the windshield.
CAUTION!

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.
