Distance Settings

To adjust the distance setting, push the Distance
Setting Button and release. Each time the button is
pushed, the distance setting decreases by one bar
(longer). Once the longest setting is reached, if the
button is pushed again it will be set to the shortest
setting available.
If a slower moving vehicle is detected in the same
lane, the instrument cluster display will show the
ACC Set With Target Detected Light. The system
will then adjust 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 Ú
page 84.
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
force.
NOTE:The “BRAKE!” screen in the instrument cluster
display is a warning for the driver to take action
and does not necessarily 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 hand side.
ACC Operation At Stop
In the event that the ACC system brings your
vehicle to a standstill while following a vehicle in
front, if the vehicle in front starts moving within two
seconds of your vehicle coming to a standstill, your
vehicle will resume motion without the need for
any driver action.
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.
NOTE:After the ACC system holds your vehicle at a stand -
still for approximately three consecutive minutes,
the parking brake will be activated, and the ACC
system will be cancelled.
While ACC is holding your vehicle at a standstill, if
the driver seat belt is unbuckled or the driver door
is opened, the parking brake will be activated, and
the ACC system will be cancelled.

engage the system.
Do Not Grip Inside Of Steering Wheel

System Deactivation
The system will be deactivated in any of the
following situations:
If the system has detected driver inattentive -
ness, and has gone through all escalation warn -
ings after hands are no longer detected on the
steering wheel
If lane markings are no longer detected
If the Active Driving Assist on/off button is
pushed again (ADA will turn off)
If a turn signal is used
If the driver applies torque to the steering wheel

If the vehicle speed exceeds 93 mph (150 km/h)

If the ACC system is deactivated

If the Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
becomes active and is providing warnings/braking

NOTE:
Pushing the Active Driving Assist on/off button
will turn the system off. All other deactivation
conditions will place the system back into the
“enabled” state with the steering wheel indi -
cator displayed in grey until all engagement
conditions are met again.
When the system is deactivated, the system
status indicator lights will turn off, Active Lane
Management will return to its previous state,
and ACC will disable.
INDICATIONS ON THE DISPLAY
The Active Driving Assist system status can always
be viewed in the instrument cluster display, and
status changes are shown by changes in color of
the system’s indicator lights.
As the system detects driver inattentiveness as
previously described Ú page 92, the system
status indicator lights will change from green, to
yellow, to red, while the steering wheel icon on
the display moves up the screen to the center.
The following indicators will change in color as
warnings to the driver escalate:
Active Driving Assist Indicator (steering wheel
icon in the instrument cluster display)
Glow effect of the instrument cluster display

Driver inattentiveness is still being detected,
warning the driver to place hands on the
steering wheel.
NOTE:The driver MUST replace hands on the steering
wheel and take control of the vehicle when the
system is deactivated.
Active Driving Assist Cancelled Message

MINIMUM RISK MANEUVER
If the driver removes the hands from the steering
wheel, a counter will start in order to display and
activate visual and acoustic alerts. When the
hands absence is detected the system will start
Minimum Risk Maneuver for bringing the vehicle in
a safe position.
After 23 seconds from the absence of the hands
on the steering wheel, the Adaptive System Cruise
Control will apply a brake jerk to warn the driver to
take vehicle control. If, after another 3 seconds the
driver does not take the control of the vehicle, the
system will apply a second brake jerk.Subsequently, if the absence of hands on the
steering wheel persists, the system will apply an
automatic braking intervention to bring the vehicle
to the stop. As soon as the standstill condition is
reached, the hazard emergency lights will be
activated. Then, the system will unlock the doors
(if previously locked). If the driver will take the
control of the vehicle during the Minimum Risk
Maneuver by placing the hands on the steering
wheel or pressing the pedal throttle, the system
will behave normally and the Minimum Risk
Maneuver will be stopped.
SYSTEM STATUS

Along with changes in the system’s indicator lights
(green, yellow, and red), the system can also issue a
steering wheel vibration to accompany these warnings.
The vibration warning (if enabled) will occur if the
vehicle crosses a lane marker, for example, when
driving on a tight curve. This feature can be turned on
or off within the Uconnect system

SYSTEM OPERATION/LIMITATIONS
The Active Driving Assist system DOES NOT:
Warn or prevent collisions with other vehicles
Steer your vehicle around stopped vehicles,
slower vehicles, construction equipment,
pedestrians, or animals
Respond to traffic lights or stop signs
Merge onto highways or exit off ramps
Turn your vehicle
Change lanes
React to cross traffic The Active Driving Assist system may have limited
or reduced functionality when one of the following
conditions occur:
The vehicle’s radar sensors and/or forward
facing camera is damaged, covered, or
obstructed (e.g. by mud, ice, snow, etc.)
Driving near highway toll booths
NOTE:If damage to the windshield occurs, have the wind
-
shield replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
PARKSENSE FRONT/REAR PARK ASSIST —
IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Park Assist system provides visual
and audible indications of the distance between
the rear, and if equipped, the front fascia/bumper
and a detected obstacle when backing up or
moving forward (e.g. during a parking maneuver).
For limitations of the system (e.g. during a parking
maneuver), see Ú page 101.
NOTE:
The system is designed to assist the driver and
not to substitute the driver.

The driver must stay in full control of the vehicle's
acceleration and braking and is responsible for
controlling the vehicle's movements.
ParkSense will retain the last system state
(enabled or disabled) from the last ignition cycle
when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.
ParkSense is active when the gear selector is
shifted to REVERSE or to a forward gear and an
obstacle is detected, as long as the system is on.
When the gear selector shifted to NEUTRAL or
PARK, the system becomes inactive. When the
vehicle is moving forward, the system will remain
active until the vehicle speed remains below
approximately 11 mph (18 km/h). Reducing the
speed approximately below 9 mph (15 km/h), the
system will come back active. When the vehicle is
moving in REVERSE, the system will remain active
as long as the speed remains below the maximum
operating speed of 7 mph (11 km/h). When the
maximum speed limit is exceeded, the system is
disabled and the ParkSense switch LED with
illuminate. The system will become active again if
the vehicle speed reduces below approximately
6 mph (9 km/h).
WARNING!
To prevent serious injury or death:
Always remain alert and be ready to take
control of the vehicle in the event that the
Active Driving Assist system disables.

Always keep your hands on the steering wheel
when the Active Driving Assist system is activated.

Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles
and pay attention to traffic conditions.
Do not place any objects on the steering wheel
(e.g. steering wheel covers) which could inter
-
fere with the hand detection sensors.

Towing Requirements — Trailer Lights And
Wiring
Whenever you pull a trailer, regardless of the trailer
size, stoplights and turn signals on the trailer are
required for motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include a four- and
seven-pin wiring harness. Use a factory approved
trailer harness and connector.
NOTE:Do not cut or splice wiring into the vehicle’s wiring
harness. The electrical connections are all complete to the
vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer
connector. Refer to the following illustrations.
NOTE:
Disconnect trailer wiring connector from the
vehicle before launching a boat (or any other
device plugged into vehicle’s electrical connect)
into water.

Be sure to reconnect after clear from water area.

Four-Pin Connector Seven-Pin Connector

TOWING TIPS
Before towing, practice turning, stopping, and
backing up the trailer in an area located away from
heavy traffic.
Towing any trailer will increase your stopping
distance. When towing, you should allow for
additional space between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you. Failure to do so could
result in an accident.
CAUTION!
If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lb (453 kg)
loaded, it should have its own brakes and they
should be of adequate capacity. Failure to do
this could lead to accelerated brake lining wear,
higher brake pedal effort, and longer stopping
distances.
