Adaptive Learning
The electronic power steering system
adaptive learning improves overall handling
and steering on roads with irregularities. It
communicates with the brake system to help
operate advanced stability control and
accident avoidance systems. When you
install a new battery or disconnect the
battery, you need to drive your vehicle a
short distance so it can relearn and reactivate
all systems.
Adaptive Steering
The adaptive steering system continually
changes the steering ratio with changes to
the vehicle speed, optimizing the steering
response in all conditions.
The adaptive steering system is designed
with a locking device. When the lock
engages, your vehicle returns to a fixed
steering ratio. Your vehicle may make a
sound when you start or switch off your
vehicle as the lock engages or disengages.
If your vehicle loses electrical power or
detects a fault when you are driving, the lock
engages and you are able to continue
steering. During this time, the steering wheel
may not be straight even when driving
straight ahead. You may need to use a
different steering wheel angle to properly
drive your vehicle. Extreme operating
conditions may cause the lock to engage.
This strategy prevents overheating and
permanent damage to the adaptive steering
system. Typical steering and driving
maneuvers allow the system to cool and
operate as normal.
Note:
The adaptive steering system has
diagnostic checks that continuously monitor
the system. If the system detects a fault, a
message displays in the information display.
If a red warning message displays, stop your
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. The
message may clear if the fault is no longer
present. If an adaptive steering system
warning message appears each time you
start your vehicle, have the system checked
as soon as possible. PRE-COLLISION ASSIST (IF EQUIPPED) WARNING:
You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
The system does not
detect vehicles that are driving in a
different direction, cyclists or animals.
Apply the brakes when necessary. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
The system does not
operate during hard acceleration or
steering. Failure to take care may lead to
a crash or personal injury.

Special Loading Instructions for
Owners of Pick-up Trucks and Utility-
type Vehicles
WARNING: When loading the
roof racks, we recommend you evenly
distribute the load, as well as maintain
a low center of gravity. Loaded
vehicles, with higher centers of gravity,
may handle differently than unloaded
vehicles. Take extra precautions, such
as slower speeds and increased
stopping distance, when driving a
heavily loaded vehicle.
AIR SUSPENSION
(IF EQUIPPED) WARNING:
If your vehicle has
self-leveling air suspension, you must
switch the system off before carrying out
any maintenance or repair. Failure to follow
this warning could result in serious
personal injury or death. The air suspension system automatically
adjusts to maintain a constant frame height,
allows for ease of vehicle loading, provides
improved vehicle ride, and increased driver
comfort.
You can adjust different ride settings through
the selectable drive modes.
See Selecting
a Drive Mode (page 306).
Note: The air suspension system may not
operate properly if you exceed the load limit.
See
Load Limit (page 310).
Note: When your vehicle is off, the air
compressor may run for a short time. This is
normal.
Switching the systems on or off
You can access the air suspension, liftgate
and easy entry features through the
information display menu settings.
See
General Information (page 130).
Using the Service Mode
When the service mode is active, the air
suspension does not make any adjustments
while your vehicle is stationary. Note:
Always switch the air suspension
service mode to on before servicing your
vehicle.
Using Cargo Loading
The air suspension cargo loading feature
lowers your vehicle for easier access when
the system detects the liftgate is opening.
When the liftgate is closed your vehicle
returns to its normal height after a short time.
Note: To preserve your vehicle battery, your
vehicle may only lower for cargo mode one
to two times per ignition cycle.
Using Easy Entry
The air suspension can lower your vehicle
to an easier access entry height when the
system detects the intelligent access key,
you press the unlock button, use the remote
start, or use Phone as a Key.
The leveling process stops when you open
a door or the target level is achieved.
Note: To stop the leveling process, press the
lock button on the intelligent access key.
