WARNING: 

Do not use the system

if any changes or modifications to the
steering wheel have been made. Any
changes or modifications to the steering
wheel could affect the functionality or
performance of the system. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death.

WARNING: 

The system may not

function if the sensor is blocked.

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: 

Large contrasts in

outside lighting can limit sensor
performance.

WARNING: 

The system attempts

to keep your vehicle in the center of the
lane as well as maintain speed and gap
control. The system may not be able to
perform these tasks in all situations. Do
not use the system in complex or
uncertain driving conditions. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death.

WARNING: 

Your vehicle could drift

out of the lane of travel. Always be
prepared to manually steer your vehicle.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.

WARNING: 

The system will not

operate if the sensor cannot track the
road lane markings.

BLUECRUISE ALERTS

When BlueCruise is providing hands-on
driving or transitioning to hands-on driving
from hands-free driving and detects no
steering activity for a certain period of time,
the system alerts you with a message in
the instrument cluster to put your hands
on the steering wheel. After the first alert,
the system alerts you with a message in
the instrument cluster and an audible
warning.

When BlueCruise is providing hands-on or
hands-free driving and detects you are not
looking at the road for a certain period of
time, the system alerts you to return your
eyes to the road. Depending on where you
are looking, the alert can be a message in
the instrument cluster and an audible
warning.

If you do not react to the warnings,
BlueCruise cancels, quickly activates and
releases the brakes, and slows your vehicle
down to low speeds while maintaining
steering control.

If your vehicle slows down and you resume
control, a message appears to prompt you
to press the accelerator pedal to allow the
system to resume.

Note:

If the system detects repeated

inactivity, it disables until the next key cycle.

BLUECRUISE AUTOMATIC
CANCELLATION

When an external condition cancels
BlueCruise, for example, no lane markings
available, a tone sounds and a message
appears in the instrument cluster.

E308130

If your vehicle starts to slow
down, you must take control of
steering and press and release

the button to reactivate BlueCruise.

System cancellation can also occur if:

The lane becomes too narrow.

The system cannot detect valid lane
markings.

Lane markings cross.

Your eyes are not on the road or your
hands are not the steering wheel.

If you have your hands on the steering
wheel and your eyes are on the road when
the feature is active and a cancellation
occurs, the system sounds a tone and
displays a cancelled graphic in the
instrument cluster.

If you are not paying attention to the road
or your hands are not on the steering wheel
and a cancellation occurs, the system
displays a message and a tone sounds until
you resume control. If you do not resume
control in time, BlueCruise quickly activates
and releases the brakes, and slows your
vehicle down to low speeds while
maintaining steering control. If your vehicle
slows down and you resume control, a
message appears to prompt you to press
the accelerator pedal to allow the system
to resume.

Note:

The system disables until the next

key cycle if it detects repeated inactivity.

BLUECRUISE INDICATORS

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 controls, powertrain
response, transmissions shift points,
four-wheel driveline setting, exhaust noise
level and suspension dampening are
automatically altered to a pre-determined
setting depending upon the drive mode
that is selected.

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 and the
driveline remains in the four-wheel drive
setting that was last selected prior to the
system fault.

Note:

Your vehicle reverts to normal mode

each time it is started. If you shut your
vehicle off in a drive mode other than
normal mode, at startup the instrument
cluster screen displays a pop-up asking if
you would like to return to your last used
drive mode. If you select yes to the pop-up,
your vehicle returns to the last selected drive
mode and the default four-wheel driveline
setting associated with that drive mode. If
you select no, your vehicle remains in normal
mode and the default four-wheel driveline
setting associated with that drive mode. If
you do not select yes or no the pop up
message times out, your vehicle remains in
normal mode, and the four-wheel driveline
setting remains in its last used setting.
