LANE CENTERING

HOW DOES LANE CENTERING
WORK

Adaptive cruise control with lane centering
uses the vehicle's front radar sensor and
front windshield camera sensor, together
with the steering sensor to operate.

Using these sensors, the system applies
continuous steering assistance towards
driving in the middle of the lane you choose
on highway roads.

Note:

The gap setting for adaptive cruise

control with lane centering, operates in the
same way as normal adaptive cruise control.

INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE
CRUISE CONTROL

HOW DOES INTELLIGENT
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
WORK

Intelligent adaptive cruise control
combines speed sign recognition and
navigation map data with adaptive cruise
control to adjust the cruise set speed to
the speed limit detected by the speed sign
recognition system. As the system detects
new speed signs, the set speed updates.

There are limitations that affect the
accuracy of the speed sign recognition
system and its ability to determine the
current speed limit. The intelligent
adaptive cruise control system and its
ability to determine the current speed limit
shares these limitations. See

Speed Sign

Recognition

(page 333).

Note:

The adaptive cruise control gap

setting operates normally when the feature
is enabled.

INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE CRUISE

information, for example, when a sign is
flashing, during specific time ranges, or
when children are present.

Note:

The system does not set the vehicle

speed to speed limits shown with a
supplementary traffic sign.

Under certain conditions, the system may
not adjust the vehicle speed until after your
vehicle passes the speed limit.

WHAT IS BLUECRUISE

BlueCruise keeps your vehicle centered in
the lane and offers a hands-free driving
mode in certain situations when using
adaptive cruise control.

HOW DOES BLUECRUISE
WORK

BlueCruise uses cameras to monitor your
vehicle position within a lane and applies
steering support to keep your vehicle
centered in the lane.

Using the cameras and location
information, BlueCruise allows you to
remove your hands from the steering wheel
and offers a hands-free driving mode in
certain areas.

When active, BlueCruise uses a driver
facing camera and infrared lighting to
monitor your eyes and head position to
detect if you are distracted. If the system
determines you are distracted, it alerts you
to return your eyes to the road.

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

Drive mode control adjusts your vehicle
configuration for each mode you select.

Changing the drive mode adjusts the
steering effort and feel of the steering
system.

The stability and traction control assist
your vehicle control in adverse conditions
or high-performance driving.

Throttle control enhances the powertrain
response, transmission controls become
optimized with shift schedules, and
four-wheel drive settings are optimized
and tuned to each mode.

Changing the drive mode can engage or
disengage the electronic locking
differentials.

Changing the drive mode changes the
four-wheel drive mode to the default
setting for the selected drive mode.

Note:

The system has diagnostic checks

that continuously monitor the system for
proper operation. If a mode is unavailable
due to a system fault, the drive mode
system defaults to normal. When the
system defaults to normal, the driveline
settings remain the same as prior to the
system fault.

Note:

The system reverts to the normal

mode each time you start your vehicle. At

DRIVE MODE CONTROL –
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why did the system default to
normal mode?

•

If a mode is unavailable due to a
system fault, it defaults to normal
mode and the driveline settings remain
the same as prior to the system fault.

Can I switch drive modes while I
am driving?

•

In most instances, you can switch drive
modes while you are driving (if you
maintain attention on the road), or
while the vehicle is stationary.
However, you should not switch the
vehicle into a drive mode intended for
off-road or track use while driving on
paved, public roads. For example, while
driving on a paved highway, it would
be acceptable to switch from normal
mode to eco mode, but not to off-road
mode.

How long does it take for the
vehicle to switch modes after I
make a selection?

•

After switching modes, the new drive
mode will activate within several
seconds, if all the appropriate
pre-conditions are met.

How should I decide which drive
mode to use?

•

Selecting a drive mode usually
depends on the driving experience you
would like to have, and the driving
conditions. For example, if you want to
have a more exciting on-road driving
experience, you could switch into sport
mode. If you find yourself driving on
slick roads, you could switch into
slippery mode.

Will drive modes impact my
vehicle’s fuel consumption?

•

Drive modes can have an impact on
your vehicle’s fuel consumption. In
addition to the active mode, your
driving style will also affect the fuel
consumption.

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

•

Alert + Aid
