Adaptive Learning (If Equipped)
The electronic power steering systemadaptive learning helps correct roadirregularities and improves overall handlingand steering feel. It communicates withthe brake system to help operateadvanced stability control and accidentavoidance systems. Additionally, wheneverthe battery is disconnected or a newbattery installed, you must drive yourvehicle a short distance before the systemrelearns the strategy and reactivates allsystems.
PRE-COLLISION ASSIST (IF
EQUIPPED)
WARNING: You must remain inyour vehicle when the system turns on.At all times, you are responsible forcontrolling your vehicle, supervising thesystem and intervening, if required.Failure to take care may result in the lossof control of your vehicle, seriouspersonal injury or death.
WARNING: The system does notdetect vehicles that are driving in adifferent direction, cyclists or animals.Apply the brakes when necessary. Failureto follow this instruction could result inthe loss of control of your vehicle,personal injury or death.
WARNING: The system does notoperate during hard acceleration orsteering. Failure to take care may leadto a crash or personal injury.
WARNING: The system may fail oroperate with reduced function duringcold and severe weather conditions.Snow, ice, rain, spray and fog canadversely affect the system. Keep thefront camera and radar free of snow andice. Failure to take care may result in theloss of control of your vehicle, seriouspersonal injury or death.
WARNING: Some situations andobjects prevent hazard detection. Forexample low or direct sunlight, inclementweather, unconventional vehicle types,and pedestrians. Apply the brakes whennecessary. Failure to follow thisinstruction could result in the loss ofcontrol of your vehicle, personal injury ordeath.
WARNING: The system cannothelp prevent all crashes. Do not rely onthis system to replace driver judgmentand the need to maintain a safe distanceand speed.
Using the Pre-Collision AssistSystem
The system is active at speeds above3 mph (5 km/h) and pedestrian detectionis active at speeds up to 50 mph(80 km/h).
If your vehicle is rapidly approachinganother stationary vehicle, a vehicletraveling in the same direction as yours, ora pedestrian within your driving path, thesystem provides three levels offunctionality:
1.Alert.
2.Brake support.

3.Active braking.
Alert: When active, a flashing visualwarning and an audible warning tonesounds.
Brake support: The system helps reducethe impact speed by preparing the brakesfor rapid braking. The system does notautomatically apply the brakes. If you pressthe brake pedal, the system can applyadditional braking up to maximum brakingforce, even if you lightly press the brakepedal.
Active braking: It activates if the systemdetermines that a collision is about tooccur. The system may help the driverreduce impact damage or completelyavoid the crash.
Note:Brake support and active braking areactive at speeds up to 80 mph (130 km/h).If your vehicle has a radar sensor withadaptive cruise control, then brake supportand active braking are active up to themaximum speed of your vehicle.
Note:If you perceive pre-collision assistalerts as being too frequent or disturbing,you can reduce the alert sensitivity, thoughthe manufacturer recommends using thehighest sensitivity setting. Setting lowersensitivity would lead to fewer and latersystem warnings.
Note:The system turns off when youmanually disable AdvanceTrac™, or whenyou select track mode.
Distance Indication and Alert (If
Equipped)
Distance indication and alert provides agraphical indication of the time gap toother preceding vehicles traveling in thesame direction. The distance indicationand alert screen in the information displayshows an image similar to the one thatfollows.
If the time gap to a preceding vehicle issmall, a red visual indication displays tothe driver.
Note:Distance indication and alertdeactivates and the images do not displaywhen adaptive cruise control is active.
