HOW DOES ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL WITH STOP AND GO
WORK

Adaptive cruise control with stop and go
uses radar and camera sensors to maintain
a set gap between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you while following it to
a complete stop. Stop and go can also be
set to follow a vehicle directly in front of
you and adjust the set speed, while you are
at a complete stop.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
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:

Do not use adaptive

cruise control on winding roads, in heavy
traffic or when the road surface is
slippery. This could result in loss of
vehicle control, serious injury or death.

WARNING:

Pay close attention to

changing road conditions such as
entering or leaving a highway, on roads
with intersections or roundabouts, roads
without visible lanes of travel, roads that
are winding, slippery, unpaved, or steep
slopes.

WARNING:

The system is not a

crash warning or avoidance system.

WARNING:

Do not use the system

when towing a trailer that has
aftermarket electronic trailer brake
controls. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.

WARNING:

Do not use tire sizes

other than those recommended because
this can affect the normal operation of
the system. Failure to do so may result
in a loss of vehicle control, which could
result in serious injury.

WARNING:

Do not use the system

with a snow plow blade installed.

WARNING:

Do not use the system

in poor visibility, for example fog, heavy
rain, spray or snow.

When Following a Vehicle

WARNING:

When following a

vehicle that is braking, your vehicle does
not always decelerate quickly enough to
avoid a crash without driver intervention.
Apply the brakes when necessary. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.

Hilly Condition Usage

You should select a lower gear when the
system is active in situations such as
prolonged downhill driving on steep slopes,
for example in mountainous areas.

On rare occasions,

detection issues can occur due to the
road infrastructures, for example bridges,
tunnels and safety barriers. In these
cases, the system may brake late or
unexpectedly. At all times, you are
responsible for controlling your vehicle,
supervising the system and intervening,
if required.

WARNING:

If the system

malfunctions, have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible.

WARNING:

Large contrasts in

outside lighting can limit sensor
performance.

WARNING:

The system only warns

of vehicles detected by the radar sensor.
In some cases there may be no warning
or a delayed warning. Apply the brakes
when necessary. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.

WARNING:

The system may not

detect stationary or slow moving
vehicles below 6 mph (10 km/h).

WARNING:

The system does not

detect pedestrians or objects in the road.

WARNING:

The system does not

detect oncoming vehicles in the same
lane.

WARNING:

The system may not

operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from
obstruction.

WARNING:

The sensor may

incorrectly track lane markings as other
structures or objects. This can result in
a false or missed warning.

E307893

The camera is mounted on the windshield
behind the interior mirror.

E307892

The radar sensor is in the lower grille.

Note:

You cannot see the sensor. It is

behind a fascia panel.

sensor performance.

216

Adaptive Cruise Control

(If Equipped)

A message displays if something obstructs
the camera or the sensor. When something
blocks the sensor, the system cannot
detect a vehicle ahead and does not
function. See

Adaptive Cruise Control

– Information Messages

(page 223).

The radar sensor has a limited field of view.
It may not detect vehicles at all or detect
a vehicle later than expected in some
situations. The lead vehicle image does
not illuminate if the system does not
detect a vehicle in front of you.

Detection issues can occur:

E71621

When driving on a different line
than the vehicle in front.

With vehicles that edge into your
lane. The system can only detect
these vehicles once they move
fully into your lane.

There may be issues with the
detection of vehicles in front
when driving into and coming out
of a bend or curve in the road.

In these cases, the system may brake late
or unexpectedly.

If something hits the front end of your
vehicle or damage occurs, the
radar-sensing zone may change. This could
cause missed or false vehicle detection.

WHAT IS DRIVE MODE
CONTROL

Your vehicle has various drive modes that
you can select for different driving
conditions. Depending on the drive mode
that you select, the system adjusts various
vehicle settings.

HOW DOES DRIVE MODE
CONTROL WORK

Selectable drive modes change various
electronic and mechanical settings within
your vehicle to tailor its performance and
driving characteristics to on-road or
off-road driving conditions. Steering feel
and effort, traction control, stability
control, chassis control, powertrain
response, transmission shift points and
four-wheel driveline settings alter to a
pre-determined setting depending upon
the drive mode that you select.

Note:

Your vehicle has diagnostic checks

that continuously monitor all systems for
proper operation. If a drive mode is
unavailable due to a system fault, your
vehicle defaults to normal mode.

SELECTING A DRIVE MODE

E355263

To select drive modes, use the console
mounted control.

Note:

Drive mode changes may not be

available when the ignition is off.

Note:

Button icon shown may vary from

your vehicle.

Note:

Selected drive mode displays in the

instrument cluster display.

DRIVE MODES

ECO

(If Equipped)

E295413

For efficient driving. This mode
helps deliver maximum fuel
efficiency and helps to increase

driving range.

MUD/RUTS

(If Equipped)

E296606

For off-road driving. This mode
enhances vehicle performance
to traverse muddy, rutted or

uneven terrains. Lower gears hold longer
in mud/ruts mode to maintain momentum
in soft conditions. Mud/ruts mode
optimizes braking for off-road conditions,
allowing quick path corrections and
minimized stopping distance when on
deformable surfaces.

Note:

This mode may help get your vehicle

unstuck from deep snow or sand.

Note:

Using mud/ruts mode on dry, hard

surfaces could produce some vibration,
driveline bind up, and potential excessive
tire and vehicle wear.

226

Drive Mode Control

NORMAL

E225310

For everyday driving. This mode
is a perfect balance of
excitement, comfort and

convenience. This is the default mode after
each ignition cycle.

SAND

(If Equipped)

E332185

For off-road driving. Sand mode
is for off-road driving on soft, dry
sand or deep conditions. Lower

gears hold longer in sand mode to maintain
momentum in soft conditions. Sand mode
optimizes braking for off-road conditions,
allowing quick path corrections and
minimized stopping distance when on
deformable surfaces.

Note:

Using sand mode on dry, hard

surfaces could produce some vibration,
driveline bind up, potential excessive tire
wear and vehicle wear.

Note:

Do not use on firm, slippery surfaces,

such as paved roads covered with snow or
ice or driving on packed snow. For slippery,
firm surfaces use slippery mode.

SLIPPERY

E295414

For less than ideal road
conditions such as snow or ice
covered roads. You can use this

mode for crossing terrain where loose, wet
or slippery materials covers a firm surface.
Slippery mode lowers throttle response
and optimizes shifting for slippery surfaces.

SPORT

(If Equipped)

E246593

For sporty driving with improved
performance handling and
response. This mode increases

throttle response and provides a sportier
steering feel. The powertrain system
provides improved gear holding, helping
your vehicle accelerate faster.

TOW/HAUL

E246592

For improved transmission
operation when towing a trailer
or a heavy load. This mode

moves upshifts to higher engine speeds to
reduce the frequency of transmission
shifting. This mode also provides engine
braking in all forward gears, which slows
your vehicle and assists you in controlling
your vehicle when descending a slope. The
amount of downshift braking provided
varies based on the amount you press the
brake pedal.

The system tunes the steering and
suspension to enhance driving comfort
when towing or carrying heavy loads.
