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.

259

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 WORK

Adaptive cruise control uses a radar sensor
to adjust your vehicle speed to maintain a
set gap between you and the vehicle in
front of you in the same lane.

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.

You are responsible for

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 winding, slippery, unpaved, or steep
slopes.

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:

The system is not a

crash warning or avoidance system.

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.

263

Adaptive Cruise Control

(If Equipped)

Hilly Condition 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.

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.

The camera is mounted on the windshield
behind the interior mirror.

The radar sensor is in the lower grille.

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 276).

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.

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:

Your vehicle reverts to normal mode

each time it is started. If you shut your
vehicle off in a drive mode other than
normal mode, at startup the instrument
cluster screen displays a pop-up asking if
you would like to return to your last used
drive mode. If you select yes to the pop-up,
your vehicle returns to the last selected drive
mode and the default four-wheel driveline
setting associated with that drive mode. If
you select no, your vehicle remains in normal
mode and the default four-wheel driveline
setting associated with that drive mode. If
you do not select yes or no the pop up
message times out, your vehicle remains in
normal mode, and the four-wheel driveline
setting remains in its last used setting.

SELECTING A DRIVE MODE
