CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
INDICATORS

E268294

When the cross traffic alert
detects an approaching vehicle,
a tone sounds, a warning lamp

illuminates in the relevant exterior mirror
and arrows appear in the information
display to show which side the vehicle is
approaching from.

If the system malfunctions, a warning lamp
illuminates in the instrument cluster and
a message appears in the information
display. Have your vehicle checked as soon
as possible.

Note:

If arrows do not display, a message

appears in the information display.

Note:

In some conditions, the system could

alert you, even when there is nothing in the
detection zone, for example a vehicle
passing further away from your vehicle.

Cross Traffic Alert

WHAT IS PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST

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

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:

Alert.

2. Brake Support.

3. Automatic Emergency Braking.

E329466

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 may
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 can reduce the alert sensitivity,
although the manufacturer recommends
using the highest sensitivity setting where
possible. Setting lower sensitivity would
lead to fewer and later system warnings.

Each system has various levels of
detection capabilities. See

Pre-Collision

Assist Limitations

(page 314).

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.

313

Pre-Collision Assist

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 316).

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

Note:

The pre-collision assist system

automatically 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 your 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 your vehicle.

Pedestrian Detection Limitations

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

Pedestrian detection operates 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.

Cyclist Detection Limitations

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

Cyclist detection functions optimally when
detected hazards are clearly identifiable.
System performance may reduce in
situations where cyclists are fast-moving,
partly obscured, have a complex
background, or cannot be distinguished
from a group.

Intersection Assist

(If Equipped)

If your vehicle comes with a radar sensor
included in adaptive cruise control, the
pre-collision assist system may operate in
a scenario where you are turning across an
oncoming vehicle's path. Detection of
vehicles driving in an oncoming direction
is active if your vehicle is driving at speeds
up to 19 mph (30 km/h).

LOCATING THE PRE-
COLLISION ASSIST SENSORS

E355942

Camera.

Radar sensor (if equipped).

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 322).

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

pedestrians or bicyclists in your vehicle's
path or 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

313).

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.
