HEAD UP DISPLAY (IF EQUIPPED)
This is a visual system that shows information
in your field of view as you drive. The
information comes from various vehicle
systems and includes vehicle speed, speed
limit, navigation, and advanced driver
assistance systems (ADAS), such as adaptive
cruise control (ACC) and the lane keeping
system. This system projects the information
off the windshield, and focuses the image
near the end of the hood approximately
7 ft
(2 m) in front of the driver. Viewing this
information does not require you to
significantly move your head, allowing you
to keep your eyes on the road while having
quick and easy access to information. Configuring The Head Up Display
You can control the system's options through
the information display by using the 4-way
toggle on the right-hand side of your steering
wheel.
See General Information (page 134).

HOW DOES ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL WITH STOP AND GO
WORK
Adaptive cruise control with stop and go
uses radar and camera sensors to adjust the
speed of your vehicle to maintain a set gap
from the vehicle in front of you in the same
lane while following it to a complete stop.
You can also engage the system to follow a
vehicle in front of you and adjust set speed
while stopped.
WHAT IS ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL WITH LANE CENTERING
Adaptive cruise control with lane centering
uses radar and camera sensors to help keep
your vehicle in the lane by applying
continuous assistance steering torque input
toward the lane center on highways.
Note:
The adaptive cruise control gap setting
operates normally. WHAT IS INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE
CRUISE CONTROL
Intelligent adaptive cruise control combines
speed sign recognition with adaptive cruise
control to adjust the cruise set speed to the
speed limit detected by the speed sign
recognition system. For example, if the speed
sign recognition system detects a 50 mph
(80 km/h) speed limit, the cruise set speed
is updated to 50 mph (80 km/h).
Note: The adaptive cruise control gap setting
operates normally.

Hilly Condition Usage
You should select a lower gear when the
system is active in situations such as
prolonged downhill driving on steep grades,
for example in mountainous areas. The
system needs additional engine braking in
these situations to reduce the load on the
vehicle
’s regular brake system to prevent it
from overheating.
Note: An audible alarm sounds and the
system shuts down if it applies brakes for an
extended period of time. This allows the
brakes to cool. The system functions
normally again after the brakes cool.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
LIMITATIONS - VEHICLES WITH:
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
WITH LANE CENTERING
Adaptive cruise control limitations apply to
lane centering unless stated otherwise or

See Adaptive Cruise Control Limitations
(page 293). The system may not correctly operate in any
of the following conditions:
•
Your vehicle is not centered in the lane.
• The lane is too narrow or wide.
• The system does not detect at least one
lane marking or when lanes merge or
split.
• You switch the direction indicator on.
• Limited steering torque input is applied.
• Areas under construction or new
infrastructure.
• When modifications to the steering
system have been made.
• When using a spare tire.
