STARTING AND OPERATING135
OPERATION
The indicator lamps 1 through 5 will illuminate to show the
current position of the vehicle. Flashing indicator lamps
will show a position which the system is working to
achieve. When raising, if multiple indicator lamps are
flashing while raising, the highest flashing indicator lamp
is the position the system is working to achieve. When
lowering, if multiple indicators are flashing while lowering
the lowest solid indicator lamp is the position the system
is working to achieve.
Toggle up once moves the suspension one position higher
from the current position, assuming all conditions are met
(i.e., engine running, speed below threshold, etc.). Toggle
up can be pushed multiple times. Each toggle up will raise
the requested level by one position up to a maximum
position of OR2 or the highest position allowed based on
current conditions (i.e., vehicle speed, etc.).
Toggle down once moves the suspension one position
lower from the current level, assuming all conditions are
met (i.e., engine running, doors closed, speed below
threshold, etc.). Toggle down can be pushed multiple
times. Each toggle down will lower the requested level by
one position down to a minimum of Park mode or the
lowest position allowed based on current conditions (i.e.,
vehicle speed, etc.) Automatic height changes will occur based on vehicle
speed and the current vehicle height. The indicator lamps
and instrument cluster display messages will operate the
same for automatic changes and user requested changes.

FUEL SAVER TECHNOLOGY 5.7L AND 6.4L
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 function -
ality after a battery disconnect.
POWER STEERING
The electric power steering system is designed to provide
increased vehicle response and 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
assist, you will still have the ability to steer the vehicle
manually.
NOTE:Alternate electric power steering efforts can be selected
through the Uconnect System Úpage 197.
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 an authorized dealer for
service
Úpage 108.
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced assist could pose a
safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be
obtained as soon as possible.

STARTING AND OPERATING139
(Continued)
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.
To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, push the RES button
and release. Resume can be used at any speed above
20 mph (32 km/h).
To Deactivate
A tap on the brake pedal, pushing the CANC button, or
normal brake pressure while slowing the vehicle will
deactivate the Cruise Control system without erasing the
set speed from memory. The following conditions will also deactivate the Cruise
Control without erasing the set speed from memory:

Vehicle parking brake is applied
 Stability event occurs
 Gear selector is moved out of DRIVE
 Engine overspeed occurs
Pushing the on/off button or placing the ignition in the OFF
position, will also erase the set speed from memory.
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. The Cruise
Control function performs differently
Úpage 138.
ACC will allow you to keep Cruise Control engaged in light
to moderate traffic conditions without the constant need
to reset your Cruise Control. ACC utilizes a radar sensor
and a forward facing camera designed to detect a vehicle
directly ahead of you.
NOTE:
 If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead, ACC will
apply limited braking or acceleration (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.
 In vehicles NOT equipped with the Active Driving Assist
system, Fixed Speed Cruise Control (ACC not enabled)
will not detect vehicles directly ahead of you. Always be
aware of the feature selected
Úpage 382.
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.
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 colli -
sion 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.

23_WS_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 139

142STARTING AND OPERATING
The Electronic Stability Control/Traction Control
System (ESC/TCS) activates
 The vehicle parking brake is applied
 The Trailer Sway Control (TSC) activates
 The driver switches ESC to Full Off mode
 The braking temperature exceeds normal range (over -
heated)
The following conditions will only cancel the ACC system:
 Driver seat belt is unbuckled at low speeds
 Driver door is opened at low speeds
To Turn Off
The system will turn off and erase the set speed in
memory if:
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) on/off button is
pushed
 The Fixed Speed Cruise Control (if equipped) on/off
button is pushed
 The ignition is placed in the OFF position
 4WD Low is engaged
To Resume
If 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 20 mph
(32 km/h) when only Fixed Speed Cruise Control is
being used.
Resume can be used at any speed above 0 mph (0 km/h)
when ACC is active.
NOTE:
While in ACC mode, when the vehicle comes to a
complete stop longer than two seconds, the driver will
either have to push the RES (resume) button or press
the accelerator pedal to reengage the ACC system.
 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 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 increments until the button
is released. The new set speed is reflected in the instru -
ment 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 increments 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 suffi -
ciently 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 reen -
gage 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).
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.

23_WS_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 142

STARTING AND OPERATING143
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). To decrease the distance setting, push the Distance
Decrease button and release. Each time the button is
pushed, the distance setting decreases by one bar
(shorter).
If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle will maintain the
set speed. If a slower moving vehicle is detected in the
same lane, the instrument cluster display will show the
ACC Set With Target Detected Indicator Light, and the
system will adjust the 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 141.
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!” will
flash in the instrument cluster display and a chime will
sound while ACC continues to apply its maximum braking
capacity.
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 side.
ACC Operation At Stop
If the ACC system brings your vehicle to a standstill while
following a vehicle ahead, your vehicle will resume motion,
without any driver interaction, if the vehicle ahead starts
moving within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill.
If the vehicle in front does not start moving within two
seconds of your vehicle coming to a standstill, 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.

NIGHT VISION CAMERA SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Night Vision Camera
system which uses an infrared camera to view the area
ahead of the vehicle, beyond the headlights, to detect
people and large animals when it is dark outside.
The system detects pedestrians or large animals by
measuring the temperature difference between the object
and the surrounding area.
The thermal objects detected by the camera can be
displayed in the instrument cluster display. Scroll to the
Night Vision page in the instrument cluster display menu
Úpage 104 to display the Night Vision screen.
Warm objects (e.g. animals) will appear lighter on the
display while cold objects (e.g. traffic signs) will appear
darker.
NOTE:
 Night Vision only shows objects of interest that are
warmer or colder than the surroundings.
 Adjust the instrument cluster dimmer control bright -
ness to make the image appear brighter or dimmer.
To exit out of the Night Vision screen, select a different
menu in the instrument cluster display.
A yellow or red border and box highlight will appear around
objects of interest. More than one object of interest may
be highlighted.

Highlight Around Objects Of Interest

The highlighting of the object(s) of interest will update in
real time based upon the current Night Vision
assessment.
The Night Vision system display can be deactivated under
certain conditions. See
Úpage 174 for further
information.
The two categories of Night Vision warnings are
Pedestrian Warnings and Animal Warnings.
Pedestrian Warning Telltale
Animal Warning Telltale
A Pedestrian or Animal Warning is considered either Level
1 or Level 2. Level 1 warnings are yellow, and Level 2
warnings are red. The colors are not configurable.

23_WS_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 172

STARTING AND OPERATING173
(Continued)
Level 1 Warnings:

Yellow telltale in the instrument cluster display
 Yellow highlights around the detected
pedestrian/animal
 Occurs when the vehicle is moving at speeds greater
than 8 mph (13 km/h) and the target is in or
approaching the vehicle path
Level 2 Warnings:
 Red telltale in the instrument cluster display
 Red highlights around the detected pedestrian/animal
 Occurs when the vehicle is moving at speeds greater
than 8 mph (13 km/h) and a collision with the detected
pedestrian/animal is possible
 The pedestrian/animal is directly in the vehicle path,
close to the headlight area
 A video pop-up will display when there is a target
detected and the instrument cluster display is not
showing the Night Vision page
 A chime will sound for a Level 2 Warning detection
event
Only one telltale can be displayed at a time based upon
priority.
The priority order of the warnings from highest to lowest is:

1. Pedestrian Warning Level 2

2. Animal Warning Level 2
3. Pedestrian Warning Level 1
4. Animal Warning Level 1
Level 2 Warnings may display in the Head Up Display
(if equipped).
NOTE:If the vehicle is stopped, or slowing down, all Level 2
warnings become Level 1 warnings.
You can enable or disable the warnings within the
Uconnect system
Úpage 197.
If the warnings are off, the telltales, chimes, and warning
messages will all be off. Pedestrians and animals can still
be detected by the system, but there will be no warnings. The Night Vision alert status telltale will be gray
when the warnings are suppressed. The telltale
will also turn gray to indicate that the alerts are
suppressed due to environmental factors (e.g.
daylight hours, external temperature is greater than 86°F
(30°C)) or if the gear selector is in REVERSE. When the
Night Vision alerts are active, the telltale will be green
Úpage 108.
Camera Washers
When the front window washer is activated, the Night
Vision camera will also be washed
Úpage 63.DETECTION RANGE
The system can detect people 4 ft (1.25 m) tall or greater
in the upright position. The system can also detect
animals that are four-legged and 3 ft (1 m) tall or greater
in the upright position.
The detection distance for the system is between 26 ft
(8 m) and 328 ft (100 m) from the front of the vehicle.WARNING!
 Do not jerk the steering wheel in response to a
warning.
 Never attempt to swerve around animals if doing so
would endanger you or others.
 Do not stare at the image while driving. You could
crash and you or others could be injured.
The Night Vision system only provides alerts to
objects of interest and cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver’s personal judgment. The warnings are
meant to direct your attention to the detected
objects, but the Night Vision system does not auto -
matically brake the vehicle and may not provide a
warning with enough time to help avoid a crash.
 Warnings are only provided if a pedestrian or large
animal is detected by the system.
 It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive
