WHAT IS CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT

The system alerts you of vehicles
approaching from the sides behind your
vehicle when you shift into reverse (R).

HOW DOES CROSS TRAFFIC
ALERT WORK

Cross traffic alert detects vehicles that
approach at a speed between 4–37 mph
(6–60 km/h). Coverage decreases when the
sensors are partially, mostly or fully
obstructed.

E142440

The sensor on the left-hand side is only
partially obstructed and zone coverage on
the right-hand side is maximized.

E142441

Zone coverage also decreases when parking
at narrow angles. The sensor on the left-hand
side is mostly obstructed and zone coverage
on that side is severely reduced.

Note:  Slowly reversing helps increase the
coverage area and effectiveness.

CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Do not use the cross

traffic alert system as a replacement for
using the interior and exterior mirrors or
looking over your shoulder before
reversing out of a parking space. The cross
traffic alert system is not a replacement for
careful driving.

WARNING: The system may not

operate properly during severe weather
conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy
rain and spray. Always drive with due care
and attention. Failure to take care may
result in a crash.

WHAT IS PRE-COLLISION ASSIST

Pre-collision assist detects and warns of
approaching hazards in the roadway. If your
vehicle is rapidly approaching another
stationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in the
same direction as yours, or a pedestrian
within your driving path, the system provides
multiple levels of assistance to help avoid a
collision.

HOW DOES PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST WORK

The system warns the driver of potential
hazards by providing three levels of
assistance.

E156130

If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
potential hazards, the system provides the
following levels of functionality:

1. Alert.

2. Brake Support.

3. Automatic Emergency Braking.

E255268

Alert: When active, a flashing visual warning
appears and an audible warning tone
sounds.

Brake Support: The system is designed to
help reduce the impact speed by preparing
the brakes for rapid braking. The system
does not automatically apply the brakes. If
you press the brake pedal, the system could
apply additional braking up to maximum
braking force, even if you lightly press the
brake pedal.

Automatic Emergency Braking: Automatic
emergency braking could activate if the
system determines that a collision is
imminent.

Note: If you perceive pre-collision assist
alerts as being too frequent or disturbing,
then you could reduce the alert sensitivity.
The manufacturer recommends using the
highest sensitivity setting where possible.
Setting a lower sensitivity would lead to
fewer and later system warnings.

Each system has various levels of detection
capabilities.  See Pre-Collision Assist
Limitations (page 284).

Pre-Collision Assist

PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
PRECAUTIONS

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 moving in a different
direction 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.

WARNING: The system may fail or

operate with reduced function during cold
and severe weather conditions. Snow, ice,
rain, spray and fog can adversely affect the
system. Keep the front camera and radar
free of snow and ice. Failure to take care
may result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, serious personal injury or death.

WARNING: Take additional care if

your vehicle is heavily loaded or you are
towing a trailer. These conditions could
result in reduced performance of this
system. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.

WARNING: The system cannot help

prevent all crashes. Do not rely on this
system to replace driver judgment and the
need to maintain a safe distance and
speed.

WARNING: In situations where the

vehicle camera has limited detection
capability, this may reduce system
performance. These situations include but
are not limited to direct or low sunlight,
vehicles at night without tail lights,
unconventional vehicle types, pedestrians
with complex backgrounds, running
pedestrians, partly obscured pedestrians,
or pedestrians that the system cannot
distinguish from a group. Failure to take
care may result in the loss of control of
your vehicle, serious personal injury or
death.

PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
LIMITATIONS

Pre-collision assist depends on the detection
ability of its camera and sensors. Any
obstructions or damage to these areas can
limit detection or prevent the system from
functioning.  See Locating the Pre-Collision
Assist Sensors (page 285).

284

Pre-Collision Assist

The system is active at speeds above 3 mph
(5 km/h)

Note: The pre-collision assist system
disables when you select four-wheel drive
low or manually disable AdvanceTrac™.

Note: Brake support and automatic
emergency braking are active at speeds up
to 80 mph (130 km/h). If the vehicle has a
radar sensor included with adaptive cruise
control, then brake support and automatic
emergency braking are active up to the
maximum speed of the vehicle.

Pedestrian Detection Limitations

Pedestrian detection is active at speeds up
to 50 mph (80 km/h).

Pedestrian detection functions optimally
when detected hazards are clearly
identifiable. System performance may reduce
in situations where pedestrians are running,
partly obscured, have a complex
background, or cannot be distinguished from
a group.

If a message regarding a blocked sensor or
camera appears in the information display,
something is obstructing the radar signals or
camera images. The radar sensor is behind
the fascia cover in the center of the lower
grille. With a blocked sensor or camera, the
system may not function, or performance
may reduce.  See Pre-Collision Assist –
Information Messages (page 289).

Note: Proper system operation requires a
clear view of the road by the camera. Have
any windshield damage in the area of the
camera's field of view repaired.

Note: If something hits the front end of your
vehicle or damage occurs and your vehicle
has a radar sensor, the radar sensing zone
could change. This could cause missed or
false vehicle detections. Have your vehicle
serviced to have the radar checked for
proper coverage and operation.

Note: If your vehicle detects excessive heat
at the camera or a potential misalignment
condition, a message could display in the
information display indicating temporary
sensor unavailability. When operational
conditions are correct, the message
deactivates. For example, when the ambient
temperature around the sensor decreases
or the sensor recalibrates successfully.

EVASIVE STEERING ASSIST

 (IF EQUIPPED)

WHAT IS EVASIVE STEERING ASSIST

If your vehicle is rapidly approaching a road
user, evasive steering assist helps you steer
around the road user.

After you turn the steering wheel in an
attempt to avoid a crash with the road user,
the system applies additional steering torque
to help you steer around the road user. After
you pass the road user, the system applies
steering torque when you turn the steering
wheel to steer back into the lane. The system
deactivates after you fully pass the road user.

Note: Road users are defined as another
stationary vehicle in the same lane or a
vehicle traveling in the same lane in the
same direction as you.  See Pre-Collision
Assist Precautions (page 284).

EVASIVE STEERING ASSIST
LIMITATIONS

Evasive steering assist only activates when
all the following occur:
•

Automatic emergency braking and
evasive steering assist are on.

•

The system detects a road user ahead
and starts to apply the brakes.

•

You significantly turn the steering wheel
to steer around a road user.

Note: Evasive steering assist does not
automatically steer around a road user. If
you do not turn the steering wheel, evasive
steering assist does not activate.

Note: Evasive steering assist does not
activate if the distance to the road user
ahead is too small and the system cannot
avoid a crash.

Note: Evasive steering does not activate with
cyclists or pedestrians.

LOAD CARRYING PRECAUTIONS

Keep your loaded vehicle weight within
its design rating capability, with or
without a trailer. Properly loading your
vehicle provides maximum return of
vehicle design performance. Before you
load your vehicle, become familiar with
the following terms for determining your
vehicle’s weight rating, with or without
a trailer, from the vehicle’s Tire and
Loading Information label or Safety
Compliance Certification label.

WARNING: The appropriate

loading capacity of your vehicle can
be limited either by volume capacity
(how much space is available) or by
payload capacity (how much weight
the vehicle should carry). Once you
have reached the maximum payload
of your vehicle, do not add more
cargo, even if there is space available.
Overloading or improperly loading
your vehicle can contribute to loss of
vehicle control and vehicle rollover.

WARNING: Exceeding the Safety

Compliance Certification label vehicle
weight limits can adversely affect the
performance and handling of your
vehicle, cause vehicle damage and
can result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, serious personal injury or
death.

WARNING: Do not use

replacement tires with lower load
carrying capacities than the original
tires because they may lower your
vehicle's GVWR and GAWR limitations.
Replacement tires with a higher limit
than the original tires do not increase
the GVWR and GAWR limitations.

WARNING: Do not exceed the

GVWR or the GAWR specified on the
certification label.

WARNING: Exceeding any

vehicle weight rating can adversely
affect the performance and handling
of your vehicle, cause vehicle damage
and can result in the loss of control of
your vehicle, serious personal injury
or death.

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.

The gross combined weight must never
exceed the Gross Combined Weight
Rating.
