ELECTRIC POWER STEERING

HOW DOES ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING WORK

The electric power steering system assists
the brake system to help operate
advanced stability control and accident
avoidance systems.

If your vehicle loses electrical power or
detects a concern when you are driving,
the system switches to reduced steering
assist or manual steering. Additionally,
whenever disconnecting the battery or
installing a new one, you must drive your
vehicle a short distance before the system
relearns the strategy and reactivates all
systems.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

The electric power

steering system has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor the system. If
a fault is detected, a message displays
in the information display. Stop your
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Switch the vehicle off. After at least 10
seconds, switch the vehicle on and
watch the information display for a
steering system warning message. If a
steering system warning message
returns, have the system checked as
soon as possible.

WARNING:

If the system detects

an error, you may not feel a difference in
the steering, however a serious condition
may exist. Have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible. Failure to do so may
result in loss of steering control.

Adapt your speed and driving behavior
according to reduced steering assist.

Extreme continuous steering may increase
the effort to steer. This occurs to prevent
internal overheating and damage to the
steering system. If this occurs, you will not
lose the ability to steer your vehicle
manually nor will it cause damage to the
system. Normal steering and driving allows
the system to cool down and steering
assist returns to normal.

Note:

There is no fluid reservoir to check or

fill.

PARKING AID PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

To help avoid personal

injury, always use caution when in
reverse (R) and when using the sensing
system.

WARNING:

The system may not

detect objects with surfaces that absorb
reflection. Always drive with due care
and attention. Failure to take care may
result in a crash.

WARNING:

Traffic control systems,

fluorescent lamps, inclement weather,
air brakes, external motors and fans may
affect the correct operation of the
sensing system. This may cause reduced
performance or false alerts.

WARNING:

The system may not

detect small or moving objects,
particularly those close to the ground.

WARNING:

The parking aid system

can only assist you to detect objects
when your vehicle is moving at parking
speeds. To help avoid personal injury you
must take care when using the parking
aid system.

WARNING:

The system may not

function if the sensor is blocked.

WARNING:

In cold and severe

weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all
limit sensor performance.

WARNING:

If damage occurs in the

immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.

Note:

If your vehicle sustains damage

leaving the sensors misaligned, this will
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts.

When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,
the rear parking aid detects the trailer and
provides an alert. Disable the parking aid
when you connect a trailer to prevent the
alert.

Note:

The system might detect a connected

trailer, if so, it turns parking aid off.

Note:

Certain add-on devices installed

around the bumper or fascia may create
false alerts. For example, large trailer
hitches, bike or surfboard racks, license plate
brackets, bumper covers or any other device
could block the normal detection zone of
the parking aid system. Aftermarket spare
tires or spare tire covers mounted to the rear
tailgate could cause false alerts from the
park aid system. Remove the add-on device
to prevent false alerts.

Note:

Keep the sensors free of debris.

Accumulation of dirt, snow or ice over the
sensors can affect the accuracy of the
system.

Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects.

Note:

When using a programmed MyKey,

you cannot switch the parking aids off. See

MyKey™

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why does active park assist not
operate correctly?

•

The system is unable to detect a
vehicle, curb or object to park next to
or in between. The system needs
boundary objects to operate correctly.

Why does active park assist not
search for a parking space?

•

You have switched traction control off.

•

The transmission is in reverse (R). Your
vehicle must be moving forward to be
able to detect a parking space.

Why does active park assist not
offer a parking space?

•

The sensors could be blocked. For
example, snow, ice or large
accumulations of dirt. Blocked sensors
can affect how the system functions.

•

The sensors in the front or rear bumper
could be damaged.

•

There is not enough room in the parking
space for your vehicle to safely park.

209

Active Park Assist

(If Equipped)

•

There is not enough space for the
parking maneuver on the opposite side
of the parking space.

•

The parking space is more than 1.6 yd
(1.5 m) or less than 0.5 yd (0.5 m)
away from your vehicle.

•

Your vehicle's speed is greater than
21.7 mph (35 km/h) for parallel parking
or greater than 11.8 mph (19 km/h) for
perpendicular parking.

•

You recently disconnected or replaced
the battery. After you reconnect the
battery you must drive your vehicle on
a straight road for a short period of
time.

Why does active park assist not
correctly position the vehicle into
a parking space?

•

An irregular curb along the parking
space prevents the system from
correctly aligning your vehicle.

•

Vehicles or objects bordering the space
could not be correctly parked.

•

Your vehicle stopped too far past the
parking space.

•

The tires are not correctly installed or
maintained. For example, using a spare
tire, not inflated correctly, improper
size, or of different sizes.

•

A repair or alteration changed the
detection capabilities.

•

A parked vehicle has a high
attachment. For example, a salt
sprayer, snowplow or moving truck bed.

•

The parking space length or position of
parked objects changes after your
vehicle passes the space.

•

The temperature around your vehicle
quickly changes. For example, driving
from a heated garage into a cold
outside temperature, or after leaving a
car wash.

Cruise Control

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

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 unpaved, or steep slopes. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death.

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:

In situations with poor

visibility, such as fog, heavy rain or other
inclement weather, you may need to
override or completely switch off the
system.

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

Select a lower gear when the system is
active in situations such as prolonged
downhill driving on steep slopes, for

WHAT IS THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM

The lane keeping system alerts you by
providing temporary steering assistance
or steering wheel vibration when it detects
an unintended lane departure.

HOW DOES THE LANE
KEEPING SYSTEM WORK

The lane keeping system uses a forward
looking camera mounted on the windshield
to monitor vehicle movement within the
lane of travel.

When the camera detects a drift out of the
lane of travel, the lane keeping system
alerts the driver by vibrating the steering
wheel, or aids the driver by providing a
small steering input to move the vehicle
back into the lane of travel.

The driver can select one of three modes:

•

Alert

•

Aid

•
