WHAT IS HILL DESCENT
CONTROL

Hill descent control allows the driver to set
and maintain vehicle speed while
descending steep slopes in various surface
conditions.

HOW DOES HILL DESCENT
CONTROL WORK

Hill descent control can maintain vehicle
speeds on downhill slopes between
2–20 mph (3–32 km/h). Above 20 mph
(32 km/h), the system remains on but the
descent speed cannot be set or
maintained.

Note:

The system does not function below

2 mph (3 km/h).

The system requires a cool down interval
after a period of sustained use. Hill descent
control provides a warning in the message
center and a tone sounds when the system
is about to disengage for cooling. At this
time, manually apply the brakes as needed
to maintain descent speed.

Note:

The amount of time that the system

can remain active before cooling varies with
conditions.

HILL DESCENT CONTROL
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

The system does not

control speed in low traction conditions
or extremely steep slopes. 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
personal injury.

WARNING:

Hill descent control

cannot control descent in all surface
conditions and circumstances, such as
ice or extremely steep grades. Hill
descent control is a driver assist system
and cannot substitute for good judgment
by the driver. Failure to do so may result
in loss of vehicle control, crash or serious
injury.

WARNING:

The system does not

replace the parking brake. When you
leave your vehicle, always apply the
parking brake and shift the transmission
into park (P) for automatic transmission
or first gear for manual transmission.

SWITCHING HILL DESCENT
CONTROL ON AND OFF

E163171

Press the button on the
instrument panel or the center
console. A light illuminates and

a tone sounds when the system is active.

SETTING THE HILL DESCENT
SPEED

To increase or decrease the descent speed,
press the accelerator or brake pedal, or use
the SET

and SET

buttons on the

steering wheel. Once you reach the
preferred speed remove your feet from the
pedals.

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.

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.

270

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.

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

(If Equipped)

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
unexpectedly brake or brake late.

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.

Optimal system performance requires a
clear view of the road by the windshield
camera.

Optimal performance may not occur if:

•

The camera is blocked.

•

There is poor visibility or lighting
conditions.

•
