5. A lead vehicle graphic willilluminate if there is a vehicle
detected in front of you.
Note: When adaptive cruise control is
active, the set speed displayed in the
information display may vary slightly
from the speedometer.
Following a Vehicle
WARNINGS
When following a vehicle in front
of you, your vehicle will not
decelerate automatically to a stop,
nor will your vehicle always decelerate
quickly enough to avoid a crash
without driver intervention. Always
apply the brakes when necessary.
Failing to do so may result in a crash,
serious injury or death.
Adaptive cruise control only
warns of vehicles detected by
the radar sensor. In some cases there
may be no warning or the warning
may be delayed. The driver should
always apply the brakes when
necessary. Failing to do so may result
in a crash, serious injury or death.
Note: The brakes may emit a sound
when modulated by the adaptive cruise
control system.
When a vehicle ahead of you enters
the same lane or a slower vehicle is
ahead in the same lane, the vehicle
speed adjusts to maintain a preset
gap distance. The distance setting is
adjustable.
The lead vehicle graphic will
illuminate.
The vehicle will maintain a constant
distance between the vehicle ahead
until:
• the vehicle in front of you accelerates to a speed above the
set speed
• the vehicle in front of you moves out of your lane or out of view
200
Cruise Control

• the vehicle speed falls below 12mph (20 km/h)
• a new gap distance is set.
The vehicle will apply the brakes to
slow the vehicle to maintain a safe
distance from the vehicle in front. The
maximum braking which the system
can apply is limited. You can override
the system by applying the brakes.
If the system predicts that its
maximum braking level will not be
sufficient, an audible warning will
sound while the system continues to
brake. This is accompanied by a
heads-up display; a red warning bar
illuminating on the windshield. You
should take immediate action.
Setting the Gap Distance
Note: It is your responsibility to select
a gap appropriate to the driving
conditions.

Disengaging the System
Press the brake pedal or press CNCL.
The last set speed will display in grey
but will not erase.
Overriding the System
WARNING
Whenever the driver is overriding
the system by pressing the
accelerator pedal, the system will not
automatically apply the brakes to
maintain separation from any vehicle
ahead.
You can override the set speed and
gap distance by pressing the
accelerator pedal.
E144529
When you override the
system, the green indicator
light illuminates and the
lead vehicle graphic does not show in
the information display.
The system will resume operation
when you release the accelerator
pedal. The vehicle speed will decrease
to the set speed, or a lower speed if
following a slower vehicle.

Cruise Control

E145632
A message displays if something
obstructs the radar signals from the
sensor. The sensor is located behind
a fascia cover near the driver side of
the lower grille. The system cannot
detect a vehicle ahead and will not
function when something obstructs
the radar signals. The following table
lists possible causes and actions for
this message displaying.
Action
Cause
Clean the grille surface in front of the
radar or remove the object causing the obstruction.
The surface of the radar in the grille is
dirty or obstructed in some way.
Wait a short time. It may take several
minutes for the radar to detect that it is no longer obstructed.
The surface of the radar in the grille is
clean but the message remains in the display.
Do not use the system in these condi-tions because it may not detect any vehicles ahead.
Heavy rain or snow is interfering with
the radar signals.
Do not use the system in these condi-tions because it may not detect any vehicles ahead.
Swirling water, or snow or ice on the
surface of the road may interfere with the radar signals.
Wait a short time or switch to normalcruise control.
You are in a desert or remote area with
no other vehicles and no roadside objects.
Due to the nature of radar technology,
it is possible to get a blockage warning
and not be blocked. This can happen,
for example, when driving in sparse
rural or desert environments. A false
blocked condition will either self clear
or clear after a key cycle.
Switching to Normal Cruise
Control
WARNING
Normal cruise control will not
brake due to slower vehicles.
Always be aware of which mode is
selected and apply the brakes when
necessary.

Alert + Aid – Provides an assistance
steering torque input toward the lane
center. If the vehicle continues drifting
out of the lane, a steering wheel
vibration is provided.
Note: The alert and aid diagrams are
meant to illustrate general zone
coverage. They are not intended to
provide the exact zone parameters.
Intensity: This setting affects the
intensity of the steering wheel
vibration used for the alert and alert
+ aid modes. This setting does not
impact the aid mode.

When the system is turned on, an
overhead graphic of a vehicle with
lane markings will be displayed in the
information display. If the aid mode is
selected when the system is turned
on, a separate white icon will also
appear in the instrument cluster or in
some vehicles arrows will be
displayed with the lane markings.
When the system is turned off, the
lane marking graphics will not be
displayed.
Note:
The overhead vehicle graphic
may still be displayed if adaptive cruise
control is enabled.
While the system is on, the color of
the lane markings will change to
indicate the system status.
Gray: Indicates that the system is
temporarily unable to provide a
warning or intervention on the
indicated side(s). This may be
because:
• the vehicle is under the activation speed
• the turn indicator is active
210
Driving Aids

• the vehicle is in a dynamicmaneuver
• the road has no or poor lane markings in the camera
field-of-view
• the camera is obscured or unable to detect the lane markings due to
environmental conditions (e.g.
significant sun angles or shadows,
snow, heavy rain, fog), traffic
conditions (e.g. following a large
vehicle that is blocking or
shadowing the lane), or vehicle
conditions (e.g. poor headlamp
illumination).
See Troubleshooting for additional
information. Green: Indicates that the system is
available or ready to provide a
warning or intervention, on the
indicated side(s).
Yellow: Indicates that the system is
providing or has just provided a lane
keeping aid intervention.
Red: Indicates that the system is
providing or has just provided a lane
keeping alert warning.
The system can be temporarily
suppressed at any time by the
following:
• Quick braking
• Fast acceleration
• Using the turn signal indicator
• Evasive steering maneuver
Troubleshooting
Why is the feature not available (line markings are gray) when I can see the lane markings on the road?
Vehicle speed is outside the operational range of the feature
Sun is shining directly into the camera lens
Quick intentional lane change
Staying too close to the lane marking
Driving at high speeds in curves
Previous feature activation happened within the last one second
Ambiguous lane markings (mainly in construction zones)
Rapid transition from light to dark or vice versa
Sudden offset in lane markings
ABS or AdvanceTrac activation

Driving Aids

The warning system sensitivity can be
adjusted to one of three possible
settings by using the information
display control. See General
Information (page 101).
Note:If the system cannot be turned
off in a vehicle equipped with MyKey®,
Note: If collision warnings are
perceived as being too frequent or
disturbing then the warning sensitivity
can be reduced, though the
manufacturer recommends using the
highest sensitivity setting where
possible. Setting lower sensitivity
would lead to fewer and later system
warnings. See General Information
(page 101). Blocked Sensors
E145632
If a message regarding a blocked
sensor appears in the information
display, the radar signals from the
sensor have been obstructed. The
sensors are located behind a fascia
cover near the driver side of the lower
grille. When the sensors are
obstructed, a vehicle ahead cannot
be detected and the collision warning
system does not function. The
following table lists possible causes
and actions for this message being
displayed.

System Limitations
WARNING
The collision warning system’s
brake support can only help
reduce the speed at which a collision
occurs if the driver applies the
vehicle’s brakes. The brake pedal
must be pressed just like any typical
braking situation.
Due to the nature of radar technology,
there may be certain instances where
vehicles do not provide a collision
warning. These include: • Stationary vehicles or vehicles
moving below 6 mph (10 km/h).
• Pedestrians or objects in the roadway.
• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
• Severe weather conditions (see blocked sensor section).
• Debris build-up on the grille near the headlamps (see blocked
sensor section).
• Small distance to vehicle ahead.
• Steering wheel and pedal movements are large (very active
driving style).
