Natural Speech
Natural speech allows the user to
speak commands in phrases or com-
plete sentences. The system filters out
certain non-word utterances and
sounds such as “ah” and “eh”. The
system handles fill-in words such as
“I would like to”.
The system handles multiple inputs in
the same phrase or sentence such as
“make a phone call” and “to Kelly
Smith”. For multiple inputs in the
same phrase or sentence, the system
identifies the topic or context and pro-
vides the associated follow-up prompt
such as “Who do you want to call?” in
the case where a phone call was re-
quested but the specific name was not
recognized.
The system utilizes continuous dialog;

(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The SmartBeam™ system provides
increased forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control
through the use of a digital camera
mounted on the inside rearview mir-
ror. This camera detects vehicle spe-
cific light and automatically switches
from high beams to low beams until
the approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
SmartBeam™ can be turned on or
off using the Uconnect Touch™
System, refer to “Uconnect
Touch™ Settings” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel”
for further information.
 Broken, muddy, or obstructed
headlights and taillights of ve-
hicles in the field of view will
cause the high beams to remain
on longer and not automatically
switch to low beams until you
are closer to the approaching ve-
hicle. Also, dirt, film, and other
obstructions on the windshield
or camera lens will cause the
system to function improperly.
If the windshield or SmartBeam™
mirror is replaced, the SmartBeam™
mirror must be re-aimed to ensure
proper performance. See your local
authorized dealer.
To Activate
1. Turn the headlight switch to the
AUTO headlight position.
2. Push the multifunction lever away
from you (toward front of vehicle) to

DISPLAY WARNINGS AND
MAINTENANCE
“Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of
Vehicle” Warning
The ACC “Clean Radar Sensor In
Front Of Vehicle” warning will dis-
play when conditions temporarily limit system performance. This most
often occurs at times of poor visibility,
such as in snow or heavy rain. The
ACC system may also become tempo-
rarily blinded due to obstructions,
such as mud, dirt or ice. In these
cases, the EVIC will display “Clean
Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle”
and the system will deactivate.
The “Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of
Vehicle” message can sometimes be
displayed while driving in highly re-
flective areas (i.e. tunnels with reflec-
tive tiles, or ice and snow). The ACC
system will recover after the vehicle
has left these areas. Under rare condi-
tions, when the radar is not tracking
any vehicles or objects in its path this
warning may temporarily occur.
NOTE: If the ACC “Clean Radar
Sensor In Front Of Vehicle” warn-
ing is active Normal (Fixed Speed)
Cruise Control is still available.
For additional information refer to
“Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise
Control Mode” in this section.

Narrow Vehicles
Some narrow vehicles traveling near
the outer edges of the lane or edging
into the lane are not detected until
they have moved fully into the lane.
There will not be sufficient distance to
the vehicle ahead.
Stationary Objects And VehiclesACC does not react to stationary objects
and stationary vehicles. For example,
ACC will not react in situations wherethe vehicle you are following exits your
lane and the vehicle ahead is stopped in
your lane. Always be attentive and
ready to apply the brakes if necessary.
NORMAL (FIXED SPEED)
CRUISE CONTROL MODE
In addition to Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol mode, a normal (fixed speed)
Cruise Control mode is available for
cruising at fixed speeds. The normal
Cruise Control mode is designed to
maintain a set cruising speed without
requiring the driver to operate the
accelerator. Cruise Control can only
be operated if the vehicle speed is
above 32 km/h.
To change modes, press the MODE
button when the system is in either the
OFF, READY, or SET position.
“Cruise Ready” will be displayed if
the system was in ACC READY or
ACC SET position. “Cruise Off” will
be displayed if the system was in the
ACC OFF position. To switch back to
Adaptive Cruise Control mode, press
the MODE button a second time.
WARNING!
In the normal Cruise Control mode,
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 nei-
ther 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.

CAUTION!
 ParkSense® is only a parking aidand it is unable to recognize every
obstacle, including small ob-
stacles. Parking curbs might be
temporarily detected or not de-
tected 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. When back-
ing up, it is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder
when using ParkSense®.WARNING!
 Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using the
ParkSense® Park Assist system.
Always check carefully behind
your vehicle, look behind you,
and be sure to check for pedestri-
ans, animals, other vehicles, ob-
structions, and blind spots before

WARNING!(Continued)
backing up. You are responsible
for safety and must continue to
pay attention to your surround-
ings. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
 Before using the ParkSense® Park Assist system, it is strongly
recommended that the ball
mount and hitch ball assembly is
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 when the
warning display turns on the
single flashing arc and 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 be-
hind the vehicle. PARKVIEW® REAR
