STARTING AND OPERATING

121

To Set A Desired Speed

When the vehicle reaches the speed desired, push

the SET (+) button or the SET (-) button and

release. The instrument cluster display will show

the set speed.
NOTE:

Fixed Speed Cruise Control can be used without

ACC enabled. To change between the different

modes, push the ACC on/off button which turns

the ACC and the Fixed Speed Cruise Control off.

Pushing the Fixed Speed Cruise Control on/off

button will result in turning on (changing to) Fixed

Speed Cruise Control mode.

If ACC is set when the vehicle speed is below

20 mph (32 km/h), the set speed will default to

20 mph (32 km/h).

NOTE:

Fixed Speed Cruise Control cannot be set below

20 mph (32 km/h).
If either system is set when the vehicle speed is

above 20 mph (32 km/h), the set speed shall be

the current speed of the vehicle.
NOTE:



Keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal can

cause the vehicle to continue to accelerate

beyond the set speed. If this occurs, the

message “DRIVER OVERRIDE” will display in the

instrument cluster display.



If you continue to accelerate beyond the set

speed while ACC is enabled, the system will not

be controlling the distance between your vehicle

and the vehicle ahead. The vehicle speed will

only be determined by the position of the accel

erator pedal.

To Cancel

The following conditions cancel the ACC or Fixed

Speed Cruise Control systems:



The brake pedal is applied



The CANC (cancel) button is pushed



The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) activates



The gear selector is removed from the DRIVE

position



The Electronic Stability Control/Traction Control

System (ESC/TCS) activates



The vehicle parking brake is applied



The Trailer Sway Control (TSC) activates



The driver switches ESC to Full Off mode



The braking temperature exceeds normal range

(overheated)

The following conditions will only cancel the ACC

system:



Driver seat belt is unbuckled at low speeds



Driver door is opened at low speeds

To Turn Off

The system will turn off and clear the set speed in

memory if:



The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) on/off button

is pushed



The Fixed Speed Cruise Control on/off button is

pushed



The ignition is placed in the OFF position



4WD Low is engaged

WARNING!

In Fixed Speed Cruise Control mode, the system

will not react to vehicles ahead. In addition, the

proximity warning does not activate and no

alarm will sound even if you are too close to the

vehicle ahead since neither the presence of the

vehicle ahead nor the vehicle-to-vehicle distance

is detected. Be sure to maintain a safe distance

between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.

Always be aware which mode is selected.

122

STARTING AND OPERATING

To Resume

If there is a set speed in memory, push the RES

(resume) button and remove your foot from the

accelerator pedal. The instrument cluster display

will show the last set speed.
Resume can be used at any speed above 20 mph

(32 km/h) when only Fixed Speed Cruise Control is

being used.
Resume can be used at any speed above 0 mph

(0 km/h) when ACC is active.
NOTE:



If your vehicle is at standstill longer than two

seconds, the driver will either have to push the

RES (resume) button, or apply the accelerator

pedal to reengage the Adaptive Cruise Control

(ACC) to the existing set speed



ACC cannot be resumed if there is a stationary

vehicle in front of your vehicle in close proximity.

To Vary The Speed Setting

To Increase Or Decrease The Set Speed
After setting a speed, you can increase the set

speed by pushing the SET (+) button, or decrease

speed by pushing the SET (-) button.
U.S. Speed (mph)



Pushing the SET (+), or SET (-) button once will

result in a 1 mph speed adjustment. Each

subsequent tap of the button results in an

adjustment of 1 mph.



If the button is continually pushed, the set

speed will continue to adjust in 5 mph incre

ments until the button is released. The new set

speed is reflected in the instrument cluster

display.

Metric Speed (km/h)



Pushing the SET (+), or SET (-) button once will

result in a 1 km/h speed adjustment. Each

subsequent tap of the button results in an

adjustment of 1 km/h.



If the button is continually pushed, the set

speed will continue to adjust in 10 km/h incre

ments until the button is released. The new set

speed is reflected in the instrument cluster

display.

NOTE:

When you override and push the SET (+) button or

SET (-) button, the new set speed will be the current

speed of the vehicle.
When ACC Is Active



When you use the SET (-) button to decelerate, if

the engine’s braking power does not slow the

vehicle sufficiently to reach the set speed, the

brake system will automatically slow the

vehicle.



The ACC system decelerates the vehicle to a full

stop when following the vehicle in front. If your

vehicle follows the vehicle in front to a standstill,

after two seconds the driver will either have to

push the RES (resume) button, or apply the

accelerator pedal to reengage the ACC to the

existing set speed.



The ACC system maintains set speed when

driving uphill and downhill. However, a slight

speed change on moderate hills is normal. In

addition, downshifting may occur while climbing

uphill or descending downhill. This is normal

operation and necessary to maintain set speed.

When driving uphill and downhill, the ACC

system will cancel if the braking temperature

exceeds normal range (overheated).

WARNING!

The Resume function should only be used if

traffic and road conditions permit. Resuming a

set speed that is too high or too low for

prevailing traffic and road conditions could

cause the vehicle to accelerate or decelerate too

sharply for safe operation. Failure to follow these

warnings can result in a collision and death or

serious personal injury.

STARTING AND OPERATING

123

Setting The Following Distance In ACC

The specified following distance for ACC can be set

by varying the distance setting between four bars

(longest), three bars (long), two bars (medium) and

one bar (short). Using this distance setting and the

vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets the

distance to the vehicle ahead. This distance

setting will show in the instrument cluster display.

Distance Settings

To increase the distance setting, push the

Distance Increase button and release. Each time

the button is pushed, the distance setting

increases by one bar (longer).

To decrease the distance setting, push the

Distance Decrease button and release. Each time

the button is pushed, the distance setting

decreases by one bar (shorter).
If a slower moving vehicle is detected in the same

lane, the instrument cluster display will show the

ACC Set With Target Detected Light. The system

will then adjust vehicle speed automatically to

maintain the distance setting, regardless of the set

speed.
The vehicle will then maintain the set distance

until:



The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed above

the set speed.



The vehicle ahead moves out of your lane or

view of the sensor.



The distance setting is changed.



The system disengages

page 120.

The maximum braking applied by ACC is limited;

however, the driver can always apply the brakes

manually, if necessary.
NOTE:

The brake lights will illuminate whenever the ACC

system applies the brakes.
A Proximity Warning will alert the driver if ACC

predicts that its maximum braking level is not

sufficient to maintain the set distance. If this

occurs, a visual alert “BRAKE!” will flash in the

instrument cluster display and a chime will sound

while ACC continues to apply its maximum braking

force.
NOTE:

The “BRAKE!” screen in the instrument cluster

display is a warning for the driver to take action

and does not necessarily mean that the Forward

Collision Warning system is applying the brakes

autonomously.

Overtake Aid

When driving with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

engaged and following a vehicle, the system will

provide an additional acceleration up to the ACC

set speed to assist in passing the vehicle. This

additional acceleration is triggered when the driver

utilizes the left turn signal and will only be active

when passing on the left hand side.

ACC Operation At Stop

In the event that the ACC system brings your

vehicle to a standstill while following a vehicle in

front, if the vehicle in front starts moving within two

seconds of your vehicle coming to a standstill, your

vehicle will resume motion without the need for

any driver action.
If the vehicle in front does not start moving within

two seconds of your vehicle coming to a standstill,

the driver will either have to push the RES (resume)

button, or apply the accelerator pedal to reengage

the ACC to the existing set speed.

1 — Longest Distance Setting (Four Bars)
2 — Medium Distance Setting (Two Bars)
3 — Long Distance Setting (Three Bars)
4 — Short Distance Setting (One Bar)

124

STARTING AND OPERATING

NOTE:

After the ACC system holds your vehicle at a stand

still for approximately three consecutive minutes,

the parking brake will be activated, and the ACC

system will be cancelled.
While ACC is holding your vehicle at a standstill, if

the driver seat belt is unbuckled or the driver door

is opened, the parking brake will be activated, and

the ACC system will be cancelled.

Display Warnings And Maintenance

“WIPE FRONT RADAR SENSOR IN FRONT OF

VEHICLE” WARNING

The “ACC Unavailable Wipe Front Radar Sensor”

warning will display and a chime will sound when

conditions temporarily limit system performance.
This most often occurs at times of poor visibility,

such as in snow or heavy rain. The ACC system may

also become temporarily blinded due to

obstructions, such as mud, dirt or ice. In these

cases, the instrument cluster display will display

the above message and the system will deactivate.
This message can sometimes be displayed while

driving in highly reflective areas (i.e. ice and snow,

or tunnels with reflective tiles). The ACC system will

recover after the vehicle has left these areas.

Under rare conditions, when the radar is not

tracking any vehicles or objects in its path this

warning may temporarily occur.
NOTE:

If the “ACC Unavailable Wipe Front Radar Sensor”

warning is active, Fixed Speed Cruise Control is still

available.
If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver

should examine the sensor. It may require cleaning

or removal of an obstruction. The sensor is located

in the center of the vehicle behind the lower grille.
To keep the ACC system operating properly, it is

important to note the following maintenance

items:



Always keep the sensor clean. Carefully wipe the

sensor lens with a soft cloth. Be cautious not to

damage the sensor lens.



Do not remove any screws from the sensor.

Doing so could cause an ACC system malfunc

tion or failure and require a sensor realignment.



If the sensor or front end of the vehicle is

damaged due to a collision, see an authorized

dealer for service.



Do not attach or install any accessories near the

sensor, including transparent material or after

market grilles. Doing so could cause an ACC

system failure or malfunction.

When the condition that deactivated the system is

no longer present, the system will return to the

“Adaptive Cruise Control Off” state and will resume

function by simply reactivating it.
NOTE:



If the “ACC Unavailable Wipe Front Radar

Sensor” message occurs frequently (e.g. more

than once on every trip) without any snow, rain,

mud, or other obstruction, have the radar

sensor realigned at an authorized dealer.



Installing a snow plow, front-end protector, an

aftermarket grille or modifying the grille is not

recommended. Doing so may block the sensor

and inhibit ACC operation.

WARNING!

When the ACC system is resumed, the driver

must ensure that there are no pedestrians,

vehicles or objects in the path of the vehicle.

Failure to follow these warnings can result in a

collision and death or serious personal injury.

STARTING AND OPERATING

125

“CLEAN FRONT WINDSHIELD” WARNING

The “ACC Limited Functionality Clean Front

Windshield” warning will display and a chime will

sound when conditions temporarily limit system

performance. This most often occurs at times of

poor visibility, such as in snow or heavy rain and

fog. The ACC system may also become temporarily

blinded due to obstructions, such as mud, dirt, or

ice on windshield and fog on the inside of glass. In

these cases, the instrument cluster display will

read “ACC Limited Functionality Clean Front

Windshield” and the system will have degraded

performance.
This message can sometimes be displayed while

driving in adverse weather conditions. The ACC

system will recover after the vehicle has left these

areas. Under rare conditions, when the camera is

not tracking any vehicles or objects in its path this

warning may temporarily occur.
If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver

should examine the windshield and the camera

located on the back side of the inside rearview

mirror. They may require cleaning or removal of an

obstruction.

When the condition that created limited

functionality is no longer present, the system will

return to full functionality.
NOTE:

If the “ACC Limited Functionality Clean Front Wind

shield” message occurs frequently (e.g. more than

once on every trip) without any snow, rain, mud, or

other obstruction, have the windshield and forward

facing camera inspected at an authorized dealer.

SERVICE ACC WARNING

If the system turns off, and the instrument cluster

display reads “ACC Unavailable Service Required”

or “Cruise Unavailable Service Required”, there

may be an internal system fault or a temporary

malfunction that limits ACC functionality. Although

the vehicle is still drivable under normal

conditions, ACC will be temporarily unavailable. If

this occurs, try activating ACC again later, following

an ignition cycle. If the problem persists, see an

authorized dealer.

Precautions While Driving With ACC

In certain driving situations, ACC may have

detection issues. In these cases, ACC may brake

late or unexpectedly. The driver needs to stay alert

and may need to intervene. The following are

examples of these types of situations:

TOWING A TRAILER

Towing a trailer is not recommended when

using ACC.

OFFSET DRIVING

ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane that

is offset from your direct line of travel, or a vehicle

merging in from a side lane. There may not be

sufficient distance to the vehicle ahead. The offset

vehicle may move in and out of the line of travel,

which can cause your vehicle to brake or

accelerate unexpectedly.

Offset Driving Condition Example

126

STARTING AND OPERATING

TURNS AND BENDS

When driving on a curve with ACC engaged, the

system may increase or decrease the vehicle

speed for stability, with no vehicle ahead detected.

Once the vehicle is out of the curve, the system will

resume your original set speed. This is a part of

normal ACC system functionality.
NOTE:

On tight turns ACC performance may be limited.

USING ACC ON HILLS

ACC performance may be limited when driving on

hills. ACC may not detect a vehicle in your lane

depending on the speed, vehicle load, traffic

conditions, and the steepness of the hill.

ACC Hill Example

LANE CHANGING

ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is completely

in the lane in which you are traveling. In the lane

changing example below, ACC has not yet detected

the vehicle changing lanes and it may not detect

the vehicle until it's too late for the ACC system to

take action. ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is

completely in the lane. There may not be sufficient

distance to the lane-changing vehicle. Always be

attentive and ready to apply the brakes if

necessary.

Lane Changing Example

NARROW VEHICLES

Some narrow vehicles traveling near the outer

edges of the lane or edging into the lane are not

detected until they have moved fully into the lane.

There may not be sufficient distance to the vehicle

ahead.

Narrow Vehicle Example

STARTING AND OPERATING

127

STATIONARY OBJECTS AND VEHICLES

ACC does not react to stationary objects or

vehicles. For example, ACC will not react in

situations where the vehicle you are following exits

your lane and the vehicle ahead is stopped in your

lane. It will consider this stopped vehicle a

stationary object as it did not previously detect

movement from it. Always be attentive and ready

to apply the brakes if necessary.

Stationary Object And Stationary Vehicle Example

TRAFFIC SIGN ASSIST SYSTEM —

IF EQUIPPED

The Traffic Sign Assist (TSA) system uses a camera

mounted on the windshield, as well as map data

when the vehicle is equipped with Navigation, to

detect recognizable road signs such as:



Speed limits



School zones



No passing zones

NOTE:



The TSA system will automatically display the

road sign detected in the unit of measurement

(mph or km/h) selected within Uconnect

Settings or within the instrument cluster display.



If no speed limit signs are detected, the system

will revert to the speed limit signs that are

stored in the Navigation system.



The system always checks the traffic signs indi

cating the current speed limit signs. The system

is able to recognize and display up to two

different road signs in the instrument cluster

display.

CTIVATION

EACTIVATION

The TSA System can be enabled/disabled within

the Uconnect system through the Safety/Driver

Assistance menu. System ON is signaled by road

signs shown on the instrument cluster display.
NOTE:

Even if the system is OFF, the speed limit sign will

be displayed when the driver selects it in the HOME

screen.

RAFFIC

IGN

SSIST

ODES

TSA has three selectable modes of operation that

are available through the Uconnect system.
Visual
When Visual is selected, the system will alert the

driver when the current speed of the vehicle

exceeds the detected speed limit by showing a

graphic in the instrument cluster display.
Visual + Chime
When Visual + Chime is selected, the system will

alert the driver when the current speed of the

vehicle exceeds the detected speed limit by

showing a graphic in the instrument cluster

display, and by sounding an audible alert. The

audible alert will last for 10 seconds, and the

visual alert will remain on as long as the vehicle is

exceeding the speed limit.

128

STARTING AND OPERATING

NOTE:

Whenever an audible alert is requested by the TSA

system, the radio is also muted.
TSA Off
When the TSA system is turned off, the system will

not show any traffic signs (unless selected in the

HOME screen, which will show detected speed

limit signs), and no alerts will be issued to the

driver.

NDICATIONS

ISPLAY

Detected traffic signs are shown in the instrument

cluster display, and can display any combination of

signs at one time (e.g. speed limit, speed limit and

supplemental info, and “Do Not Pass” signs)

depending on what information is available.
When a newly detected speed limit is higher than

the current speed limit, the display will update

along with an up arrow.
When a newly detected speed limit is lower than

the current speed limit, the display will update

along with a down arrow.
NOTE:

Up or down arrows will be displayed for up to five

seconds.

on the instrument cluster display will show a

red outline to alert the driver.

1 — Current Speed Limit With Supplemental Infor

mation (School Zone)
2 — Next Speed Limit Detected
3 — No Passing Zone Detected

CAUTION!



Functionality may be limited or the system

may not work if the sensor is obstructed.



The system may have limited operation or not

work at all in weather conditions such as

heavy rain, hail, and thick fog. Strong light

contrasts can influence the recognition capa

bility of the sensor.



The area surrounding the sensor must not be

covered with stickers or any other object.



Do not tamper or perform any operations in

the area of the windshield glass directly

surrounding the sensor.

(Continued)

HIGHWAY ASSIST SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

PERATION

The Highway Assist system (HAS) is combined with

the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system, and

centers the vehicle in the driving lane while

traveling on controlled access highways at speeds

up to 90 mph (145 km/h).
For ACC system operating instructions and system

limitations, see

page 118.

NOTE:



The driver should always obey traffic laws and

speed limits. Never drive above applicable

speed limit restrictions.



The driver can override HAS at any time by

braking, accelerating, or steering the vehicle.

Just like ACC, HAS will maintain a set speed as long

as the set distance between your vehicle and the

vehicle in front is maintained. HAS will also keep

your vehicle centered between the lane lines, and

monitor for other vehicles in adjacent lanes by

utilizing the Blind Spot Monitoring sensors.

HAS uses sensors within the steering wheel to

measure driver attentiveness. HAS requires the

driver’s hands on the steering wheel at all times.

The system will generally aim to keep the vehicle

centered in the lane, but when the driver turns the

steering wheel (e.g. to move further away from a

large vehicle in the next lane) the system will

reduce its control and enter "co-steering" mode.

While in co-steering mode, the system will provide

reduced assistance and allow the driver to control

the path of the vehicle. Once the driver stops

providing input to the steering wheel, the system

will require a few seconds to fully resume lane

centering assistance, especially during curves.

WARNING!

The Highway Assist system is a convenience

system. It is not a substitute for active driver

involvement. It is always the driver’s

responsibility to be attentive of road traffic,

weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to

the vehicle ahead, position in the lane compared

to other vehicles, and brake operation to ensure

safe operation of the vehicle under all road

conditions. Your complete attention is always

required while driving to maintain safe control of

your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can

result in a collision and death or serious

personal injury.

You should turn off the Highway Assist system:



When driving in complex driving situations

(e.g. urban environments, construction zones,

etc.), adverse weather (e.g. rain, snow, fog,

sleet, dust), or adverse road conditions

(e.g. heavy traffic, worn or missing lane

markings, etc.).



When entering a highway off ramp, when

driving on roads that are, icy, snow covered, or

slippery.



When circumstances do not allow safe driving

at a constant speed.

PARKSENSE FRONT/REAR PARK ASSIST

SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

The ParkSense Park Assist system provides visual

and audible indications of the distance between

the rear, and if equipped, the front fascia/bumper

and a detected obstacle when backing up or

moving forward (e.g. during a parking maneuver).
NOTE:



The system is provided to assist the driver and

not to substitute the driver.



The driver must stay in full control of the

vehicle's acceleration and braking and is

responsible for controlling the vehicle's move

ments

page 137.

ParkSense will retain the last system state

(enabled or disabled) from the last ignition cycle

when the ignition is changed to the ON/RUN

position.
ParkSense is active in DRIVE or REVERSE, as long

as the system is on. The system will remain active

until the vehicle speed is increased to

approximately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above. While in

REVERSE and above the system's operating speed,

a warning will appear in the instrument cluster

display indicating the vehicle speed is too fast. The

The six ParkSense sensors (four when vehicle is

not equipped with front sensors), located in the

rear fascia/bumper, and the six ParkSense

sensors located in the front fascia/bumper,

monitor the area in front and behind the vehicle

that is within the sensors’ field of view. The front

sensors detect obstacles from approximately

12 inches (30 cm) up to 47 inches (120 cm) from

the front fascia/bumper. The rear sensors can

detect obstacles from approximately 12 inches

(30 cm) up to 79 inches (200 cm) from the rear

fascia/bumper. These distances depend on the

location, type and orientation of the obstacle in the

horizontal direction.

The warning display will turn on indicating the

system status when the vehicle is in REVERSE or

when the vehicle is in DRIVE and an obstacle has

been detected.
The system will indicate a detected obstacle by

showing a single arc in the left and/or right front or

rear regions based on the object’s distance and

location relative to the vehicle.
If an object is detected in the left and/or right rear

region, the display will show a single arc in the

left and/or right rear region and the system will

produce a tone. As the vehicle moves closer to the

object, the display will show the single arc moving

closer to the vehicle and the tone will change from

a single 1/2 second tone to slow, to fast, to

continuous.
