FUEL SAVER TECHNOLOGY 5.7L ONLY —
IF EQUIPPED
This feature offers improved fuel economy by
shutting off four of the engine's eight cylinders
during light load and cruise conditions. The system
is automatic with no driver inputs or additional
driving skills required.
NOTE:This system may take some time to return to full
functionality after a battery disconnect.
POWER STEERING
The electric power steering system provides
enhanced vehicle response and increased ease of
maneuverability in tight spaces. The power
steering system adapts to different driving
conditions. If the electric power steering system
experiences a fault that prevents it from providing
assistance, you will still have the ability to steer the
vehicle manually.
NOTE:Alternate electric power steering efforts (Normal,
Comfort and Sport) can be selected through the
Uconnect System Ú page 204. If SPORT mode is
selected, steering efforts are optimized for sporty
driving.
If the Electric Power Steering warning
icon is displayed and the “Service Power
Steering” or the “Power Steering Assist
Off – Service System” message is
displayed within the instrument cluster display,
this indicates the vehicle needs to be taken to the
dealer for service Ú page 108.
NOTE:
Even if the power steering assistance is no
longer operational, it is still possible to steer the
vehicle. Under these conditions there will be a
substantial increase in steering effort, espe -
cially at low speeds and during parking maneu -
vers.
If the condition persists, see an authorized
dealer for service.
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced assist could
pose a safety risk to yourself and others. Service
should be obtained as soon as possible.

146STARTING AND OPERATING
To Vary The Speed Setting
To Increase Or Decrease The Set Speed
After setting a speed, you can increase the set
speed by pushing the SET (+) button, or decrease
speed by pushing the SET (-) button.
U.S. Speed (mph)
Pushing the SET (+) , or SET (-) button once will
result in a 1 mph speed adjustment. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in an
adjustment of 1 mph.
If the button is continually pushed, the set
speed will continue to adjust in 5 mph incre -
ments until the button is released. The new set
speed is reflected in the instrument cluster
display.
Metric Speed (km/h)
Pushing the SET (+) , or SET (-) button once will
result in a 1 km/h speed adjustment. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in an
adjustment of 1 km/h.
If the button is continually pushed, the set
speed will continue to adjust in 10 km/h incre -
ments until the button is released. The new set
speed is reflected in the instrument cluster
display.
NOTE:When you override and push the SET (+) button or
SET (-) button, the new set speed will be the current
speed of the vehicle.
When ACC Is Active
When you use the SET (-) button to decelerate, if
the engine’s braking power does not slow the
vehicle sufficiently to reach the set speed, the
brake system will automatically slow the
vehicle.
The ACC system decelerates the vehicle to a full
stop when following the vehicle in front. If your
vehicle follows the vehicle in front to a standstill,
after two seconds the driver will either have to
push the RES (resume) button, or apply the
accelerator pedal to reengage the ACC to the
existing set speed.
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).
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 appears in the instrument cluster display.

Distance Settings

To increase the distance setting, push the
Distance Increase button and release. Each time
the button is pushed, the distance setting
increases by one bar (longer). 1 — Longest Distance Setting (Four Bars)
2 — Medium Distance Setting (Two Bars)
3 — Long Distance Setting (Three Bars)
4 — Short Distance Setting (One Bar)

23_WL_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 146

172STARTING AND OPERATING
If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system
detects a vehicle in the adjacent lane, and the
turn signal is applied in that direction, the BSM
LED on the mirror will flash. If the driver
continues to attempt the lane change, steering
wheel torque will be provided to keep the
vehicle within its lane markings.
The driver may manually override the steering
assist warning by applying force to the steering
wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected and
the driver drifts across the lane marking (no turn
signal applied), the Active Lane Management
system provides a visual warning in the instrument
cluster, as well as a steering assist torque (if
configured in Uconnect Settings), to prompt the
driver to remain within the lane boundaries. If the
driver continues to drift out of the lane, the system
provides a flashing visual warning through the
instrument cluster display as well as a haptic
steering wheel vibration (if configured in Uconnect
Settings) when the vehicle crosses the lane
boundary.
NOTE:When operating conditions have been met, the
Active Lane Management system will monitor if the
driver’s hands are on the steering wheel and
provides an audible and visual warning to the
driver if removed. The system will cancel if the
driver does not return their hands to the wheel.
TURNING ACTIVE LANE MANAGEMENT
O
N OR OFF
The Active Lane Management button is

turns on).
NOTE:The Active Lane Management system will retain
the last system state on or off from the last ignition
cycle when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
position.
ACTIVE LANE MANAGEMENT WARNING
M
ESSAGE
The Active Lane Management system will indicate
the current lane drift condition through the
instrument cluster display.
When the system is on, the lane lines are gray
when both of the lane boundaries have not been
detected.
System On (Gray Lines)

Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected
When the system is on and only the left lane
marking has been detected, and the system is
ready to provide visual warnings in the instru-
ment cluster display and a vibration and/or
steering assist warning in the steering wheel if a
lane departure occurs, the left lane line will be
green.
When the system senses the lane line has been
approached (but not crossed), the left lane line
will change to solid yellow and the system will
provide a haptic steering wheel vibration and/or
steering assist torque (if programmed in
Uconnect Settings).
When the system senses the lane line is being
crossed, the left lane line will change to flashing
yellow.

200STARTING AND OPERATING
OFF-ROAD DRIVING TIPS
Quadra-Lift — If Equipped
When off-roading, it is recommended that the
lowest useable vehicle height that will clear the
current obstacle or terrain be selected. The vehicle
height should then be raised as required by the
changes in terrain.
The Selec-Terrain switch will automatically change
the vehicle to the optimized height based on the
Selec-Terrain switch position. The vehicle height
can be changed from the default height for each
Selec-Terrain mode by normal use of the air
suspension switches Úpage 131.
When To Use 4WD LOW Range —
If Equipped
When off-road driving, shift to 4WD LOW for
additional traction. This range should be limited to
extreme situations such as deep snow, mud, or
sand where additional low speed pulling power is
needed. Vehicle speeds in excess of 25 mph
(40 km/h) should be avoided when in 4WD LOW
range.
Driving Through Water
Although your vehicle is capable of driving through
water, there are a number of precautions that
must be considered before entering the water.
NOTE:Your vehicle is capable of water fording in up to
24 inches (61 cm) with air suspension or
21 inches (53 cm) without air suspension, of water
while crossing small rivers or streams. To maintain
optimal performance of your vehicle's heating and
ventilation system it is recommended to switch the
system into recirculation mode during water
fording. Be sure to avoid lowering the vehicle in
water, ensure that the easy exit entry setting is
turned off in Uconnect settings. Driving through water more than a few inches/
centimeters deep will require extra caution to
ensure safety and prevent damage to your vehicle.
If you must drive through water, try to determine
the depth and the bottom condition (and location
of any obstacles) prior to entering. Proceed with
caution and maintain a steady controlled speed
less than 5 mph (8 km/h) in deep water to
minimize wave effects.
Flowing Water
If the water is swift flowing and rising (as in storm
run-off), avoid crossing until the water level
recedes and/or the flow rate is reduced. If you
must cross flowing water avoid depths in excess of
9 inches (23 cm). The flowing water can erode the
streambed, causing your vehicle to sink into
deeper water. Determine exit point(s) that are
downstream of your entry point to allow for drifting.
WARNING!
Do not drive in 4WD LOW range on dry
pavement; driveline damage may result. 4WD
LOW range locks front and rear drivelines
together and does not allow for differential
action between the front to rear driveshafts.
Driving in 4WD LOW on pavement will cause
driveline binding; use only on wet or slippery
surfaces.
CAUTION!
When driving through water, do not exceed
5 mph (8 km/h). Always check water depth
before entering as a precaution, and check all
fluids afterward. Driving through water may
cause damage that may not be covered by the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
