You must keep your hands on the steering
wheel at all times.

When the system is active and detects no
steering activity for a period of time, the
system alerts you to put your hands on the
steering wheel. If you do not react to the
warnings the system cancels and slows
your vehicle down to idle speeds while
maintaining steering control. See 

Lane

Centering Automatic Cancellation

(page 349).

The system also alerts you if your vehicle
crosses lane markings without detected
steering activity.

Note:

The system could detect a light grip

or touch on the steering wheel as hands-off
driving.

LANE CENTERING AUTOMATIC
CANCELLATION

When an external condition cancels the
system, and your hands are on the steering
wheel, a tone sounds and a message
appears in the instrument cluster display.

349

Adaptive Cruise Control

 (If Equipped)

When an external condition cancels the
system, and your hands are not on the
steering wheel, the system immediately
alerts you to take control of the vehicle. If
this alert is ignored, the system slows the
vehicle while maintaining steering
assistance when lane markings are
available. When no lane markings are
available, the vehicle comes to a stop.

PREDICTIVE SPEED ASSIST

HOW DOES PREDICTIVE SPEED
ASSIST WORK

Predictive Speed Assist works with
adaptive cruise control and adjusts the
vehicle speed to the road geometry and to
the speed limit detected by the speed sign
recognition system. As the system
identifies curves and highway exits, the
vehicle speed temporarily decreases ahead
of and during the changing road geometry.
When passing new speed signs, the set
speed updates.  See 

Predictive Speed

Assist Precautions

 (page 351).

There are limitations that affect the
accuracy of the speed sign recognition
system and its ability to determine the
current speed limit. Predictive speed assist
and its ability to determine the current
speed limit shares these limitations.  See

Speed Sign Recognition

 (page 408).

Note:

The adaptive cruise control gap

setting operates normally when the feature
is enabled.

PREDICTIVE SPEED 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: 

Pay close attention to

changing road conditions. You may need
to override the system by pressing the
brake or accelerator pedal if the adjusted
speed becomes higher or lower than
necessary.

351

Adaptive Cruise Control

 (If Equipped)

WARNING: 

The system only

provides limited braking. Your vehicle
may not always decelerate quickly
enough to avoid a crash without driver
intervention. Apply the brakes when
necessary.

WARNING: 

The system does not

activate the turn signal.

Adaptive cruise control precautions apply
to predictive speed assist unless stated
otherwise or contradicted by a predictive
speed assist precaution.  See 

Adaptive

Cruise Control Precautions

 (page 341).

The system only applies limited braking.
You can override the system with the
accelerator pedal or cancel the system by
applying the brakes.

The system may adapt to various factors
such as time of day, lane width. This could
influence speed adjustments and
accelerations.

The system may adapt to various drive
modes.  See 

Drive Mode Control

 (page

372). This could influence speed
adjustments and accelerations.

Note:

The system does not activate the

turn signal automatically.

PREDICTIVE SPEED ASSIST
LIMITATIONS

WARNING: 

The system may not

always adjust vehicle speed in certain
road or weather conditions such as
crossing traffic, yield or stop signs, right
of way, traffic lights, speed bumps, rain,
snow, fog. You must always apply the
brake or accelerator pedal when
necessary.

The road geometry and speed limit
information provided by the navigation
map data could be inaccurate or out of
date.

The system may not detect and read
speed limit signs with conditional
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.

Detection of road geometry operates only
where related information is available.
Road geometry information may not be
available in some areas.

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.

automatically adjusts your vehicle’s
position in the lane based on the current
driving situation.

Note:

In-lane repositioning is active only

when BlueCruise is enabled while traveling
on divided highways and when any of the
following occur:

•

Passing or being passed by adjacent
lane vehicles in close proximity.

•

In a curve.

•

Driving in outer lanes.

Note:

In certain situations, the vehicle may

bias without showing the indicators.

Note:

Keep the front of your vehicle free of

dirt, metal badges or objects. Vehicle front
protectors, aftermarket lights, additional
paint or plastic coatings could also degrade
sensor performance.

Note:

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.

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.

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

LANE KEEPING SYSTEM
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 will not

operate if the sensor cannot track the
road lane markings.

WARNING: 

The sensor may

incorrectly track lane markings as other
structures or objects. This can result in
a false or missed warning.

WARNING: 

In cold and severe

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

WARNING: 

The system may not

operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from
obstruction.

WARNING: 

If damage occurs in the

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

WARNING: 

The system may not

correctly operate if your vehicle is fitted
with a suspension kit not approved by
us.

WARNING: 

Large contrasts in

outside lighting can limit sensor
performance.
