REAR PARKING AID AUDIBLE
WARNINGS

A warning tone sounds when your vehicle
approaches an object. As your vehicle
moves closer to an object, the rate of the
tone increases. The warning tone
continuously sounds when an object is 12 in
(30 cm) or less from the rear bumper.

If your vehicle remains stationary for a few
seconds, the audible warning turns off. If
your vehicle moves backward the tone
sounds again.

Note:

When the parking aid system sounds

a tone, the audio system could reduce the
set volume.

FRONT PARKING AID

WHAT IS THE FRONT PARKING
AID

Front parking sensors detect objects in
front of your vehicle.

FRONT PARKING AID
LIMITATIONS

The front parking aid sensors are active
when your vehicle is in any position other
than park (P) and the vehicle speed is less
than 5 mph (8 km/h).

The sensor coverage area is up to 47 in
(120 cm) from the bumper.

If your vehicle is in reverse (R), the front
parking aid detects objects when your
vehicle is moving at a low speed or an
object is moving toward your vehicle and
provides an audible warning, for example
another vehicle at a low speed. If your
vehicle remains stationary for a few
seconds, the audible warning turns off.
Visual indication is always active in reverse
(R).

If your vehicle is in any forward gear, the
front parking aid provides audible warnings
and visual indication when your vehicle is
moving at a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) or
below and the system detects an object
within the detection zone. If your vehicle
remains stationary for a few seconds, the
visual indication and audible warning turns
off.

If your vehicle is in neutral (N), the front
and rear sensors provide visual indication
only when your vehicle is moving below a
speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) and obstacles
are detected inside the detection areas.
Once your vehicle stops, the visual
indication and audible warning stops after
a few seconds.

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 and Trailer Tow
Usage

You should select a lower gear when the
system is active in situations such as
prolonged downhill driving on steep slopes,
for example in mountainous areas. The
system needs additional engine braking in
these situations to reduce the load on the
vehicle’s regular brake system to prevent
it from overheating.

294

Adaptive Cruise Control

(If Equipped)

Note:

An audible alarm sounds and the

system shuts down if it applies brakes for
an extended period of time. This allows the
brakes to cool. The system functions
normally again after the brakes cool.

Note:

When towing with adaptive cruise

control, switch on Tow/Haul mode and
diesel engine brake.

Note:

Tow/Haul mode increases the time

gaps and allows more distance for braking.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
LIMITATIONS

Sensor Limitations

WARNING:

On rare occasions,

detection issues can occur due to the
road infrastructures, for example bridges,
tunnels and safety barriers. In these
cases, the system may brake late or
unexpectedly. At all times, you are
responsible for controlling your vehicle,
supervising the system and intervening,
if required.

WARNING:

If the system

malfunctions, have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible.

WARNING:

Large contrasts in

outside lighting can limit sensor
performance.

WARNING:

The system only warns

of vehicles detected by the radar sensor.
In some cases there may be no warning
or a delayed warning. Apply the brakes
when necessary. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.

WARNING:

The system may not

detect stationary or slow moving
vehicles below 6 mph (10 km/h).

WARNING:

The system does not

detect pedestrians or objects in the road.

WARNING:

The system does not

detect oncoming vehicles in the same
lane.

WARNING:

The system may not

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

WARNING:

The sensor may

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

Note:

You cannot see the sensor. It is

behind a fascia panel.

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.

A message displays if something obstructs
the camera or the sensor. When something
blocks the sensor, the system cannot
detect a vehicle ahead and does not
function. See

Adaptive Cruise Control

– Information Messages

(page 308).

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 brake late
or unexpectedly.

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.

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.

LANE CENTERING PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Do not use the system

when towing a trailer or when the vehicle
is loaded to near or over maximum
payload. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your

PREDICTIVE SPEED ASSIST

(IF

EQUIPPED)

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 305).

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

WHAT IS DRIVE MODE
CONTROL

This feature connects multiple vehicle
systems through a single interface,
providing you with enhanced vehicle
control and driving dynamics for different
driving scenarios, terrains, weather, or
various road conditions.

HOW DOES DRIVE MODE
CONTROL WORK

When a drive mode is selected it alters
various electrical and mechanical systems
within the vehicle to a predetermined
configuration. The systems altered and
features available will depend on which
mode is selected.

Note:

: The electronic locking differential is

available and automatically engages in
some drive modes. See

Electronic Locking

environments. See

Brake Over Accelerator

(page 246).

Note:

Your vehicle automatically starts in

the last selected drive mode, for applicable
modes, when you return to your vehicle after
short trips up to 2 hours between ignition
cycles. At startup, the system displays a
prompt on the instrument cluster display
that gives you the option to return to the last
drive mode that you chose prior to shutting
the vehicle off. If you select yes, the system
returns to the last selected drive mode and
the default four-wheel drive mode
associated with that mode. If you select no
or do not make a selection, the system
remains in normal Mode and the four-wheel
drive mode remains the same as selected
in the prior ignition cycle.
