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:

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 263).

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.

262

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 264).

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, manually disable
AdvanceTrac™, or select rock crawl mode.

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 when the system cannot
distinguish pedestrians 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).

EVASIVE STEERING ASSIST

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 262).

266

Pre-Collision Assist

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

271

Load Carrying

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.

LOCATING THE SAFETY
COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION
LABELS

Safety Compliance Certification Label
Example:

E198828

The Safety Compliance Certification label
is located on the door hinge pillar,
door-latch post, or the door edge that
meets the door-latch post, next to the
driver seating position.

WHAT IS THE GROSS AXLE
WEIGHT RATING

GAWR (Gross Axle Weight
Rating)

GAWR is the maximum allowable
weight that a single axle (front or
rear) can carry. These numbers
are on the Safety Compliance
Certification label.

WHAT IS THE GROSS VEHICLE
WEIGHT RATING

GVWR is the maximum allowable
weight of the fully loaded vehicle.
This includes all options,
equipment, passengers and cargo.
It appears on the Safety
Compliance Certification label.

WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM
LOADED TRAILER WEIGHT

Maximum loaded trailer weight is the
highest possible weight of a fully loaded
trailer the vehicle can tow. Consult an
authorized dealer (or the RV and Trailer
Towing Guide available at an authorized
dealer) for more detailed information. See

Towing a Trailer

(page 283).

WHAT IS THE GROSS
COMBINED WEIGHT RATING

Gross Combined Weight Rating
(GCWR) is the maximum
allowable weight of the vehicle
and the loaded trailer, including
all cargo and passengers, that the
vehicle can handle without risking

272

Load Carrying

damage. (Important: The towing
vehicle’s braking system is rated
for operation at Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating, not at Gross
Combined Weight Rating.)
Separate functional brakes should

be used for safe control of towed
vehicles and for trailers where the
Gross Combined Weight of the
towing vehicle plus the trailer
exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating of the towing vehicle.

Load Carrying

CALCULATING PAYLOAD

Tire and Loading Label Information
Example:

E198719

Payload is the combined weight
of cargo and passengers that your
vehicle is carrying. The maximum
payload for your vehicle appears
on the Tire and Loading label. The
label is either on the B-pillar or the
edge of the driver door. Vehicles
exported outside the US and
Canada may not have a tire and
loading label. Look for “The
combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lb” for maximum
payload. The payload listed on the
Tire and Loading Information label

is the maximum payload for your
vehicle as built by the assembly
plant. If you install any additional
equipment on your vehicle, you
must determine the new payload.
Subtract the weight of the
equipment from the payload listed
on the Tire and Loading label.
When towing, trailer tongue
weight or king pin weight is also
part of payload.

CALCULATING THE LOAD
LIMIT

Steps for determining the correct
load limit:

1. Locate the statement "The

combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed

XXX kg or XXX lb." on your
vehicle’s placard.

2. Determine the combined

weight of the driver and
passengers that will be riding
in your vehicle.

3. Subtract the combined weight

of the driver and passengers
from XXX kg or XXX lb.

4. The resulting figure equals the

available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For
example, if the “XXX” amount
equals 1,400 lb. and there will
be five 150 lb. passengers in
your vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lb.
(1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lb.)

274

Load Carrying

5. Determine the combined

weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely
exceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity
calculated in Step 4.

6. If your vehicle will be towing a

trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred to your
vehicle. Consult this manual to
determine how this reduces the
available cargo and luggage
load capacity of your vehicle.

Helpful examples for
calculating the available
amount of cargo and luggage
load capacity

Suppose your vehicle has a

1400-pound (635-kilogram) cargo
and luggage capacity. You decide
to go golfing. Is there enough load
capacity to carry you, four of your
friends and all the golf bags? You
and four friends average 220
pounds (99 kilograms) each and
the golf bags weigh approximately
30 pounds (13.5 kilograms) each.
The calculation would be: 1400 -
(5 x 220) - (5 x 30) = 1400 - 1100
- 150 = 150 pounds. Yes, you have
enough load capacity in your
vehicle to transport four friends
and your golf bags. In metric units,
the calculation would be: 635
kilograms - (5 x 99 kilograms) -
(5 x 13.5 kilograms) = 635 - 495 -
67.5 = 72.5 kilograms.

Suppose your vehicle has a
1400-pound (635-kilogram) cargo
and luggage capacity. You and
one of your friends decide to pick
up cement from the local home
improvement store to finish that
patio you have been planning for
the past two years. Measuring the
inside of the vehicle with the rear
seat folded down, you have room
for twelve 100-pound
(45-kilogram) bags of cement. Do
you have enough load capacity to
transport the cement to your
home? If you and your friend each
weigh 220 pounds (99 kilograms),
the calculation would be: 1400 -
(2 x 220) - (12 x 100) = 1400 - 440
- 1200 = - 240 pounds. No, you do
not have enough cargo capacity
to carry that much weight. In

metric units, the calculation would
be: 635 kilograms - (2 x 99
kilograms) - (12 x 45 kilograms) =
635 - 198 - 540 = -103 kilograms.
You will need to reduce the load
weight by at least 240 pounds
(104 kilograms). If you remove
three 100-pound (45-kilogram)
cement bags, then the load
calculation would be: 1400 - (2 x
220) - (9 x 100) = 1400 - 440 -
900 = 60 pounds. Now you have
the load capacity to transport the
cement and your friend home. In
metric units, the calculation would
be: 635 kilograms - (2 x 99
kilograms) - (9 x 45 kilograms) =
635 - 198 - 405 = 32 kilograms.
