Enhanced Park Aids
Note:
Enhanced park aids is only available
when the transmission is in Reverse (R).
Note: The reverse sensing system is not
effective at speeds above 3 mph (5 km/h)
and may not detect certain angular or
moving objects.
The system uses red, yellow and green
highlights which appear on top of the video
image when an object is detected by the
reverse sensing system. The alert highlights
the closest object detected. The reverse
sensing alert can be disabled and if visual
park aid alert is enabled, highlighted areas
are still displayed.
Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF.
Manual Zoom WARNING
When manual zoom is on, the full area
behind your vehicle is not shown. Be
aware of your surroundings when using the
manual zoom feature. Note:
Manual zoom is only available when
the transmission is in Reverse (R).
Note: Only the centerline shows when you
enable manual zoom.
This allows you to get a closer view of an
object behind your vehicle. The zoomed
image keeps the bumper in the image to
provide a reference. The zoom is only active
while the transmission is in Reverse (R).
When you shift the transmission out of
Reverse (R), the feature automatically turns
off and you must enable it to use it used
again.
Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF. The default setting for the manual
zoom is OFF.
Rear Camera Delay
When shifting the transmission out of
Reverse (R) and into any gear other than Park
(P), the camera image remains in the display
until your vehicle speed reaches 5 mph (8
km/h). This occurs when the rear camera
delay feature is on, or until a radio button is
selected. Selectable settings for this feature are ON
and OFF. The default setting for the rear
camera delay is OFF.

USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL
(If Equipped) WARNINGS
Always pay close attention to changing
road conditions, especially when using
adaptive cruise control. Adaptive cruise
control cannot replace attentive driving.
Failing to follow any of the warnings below
or failing to pay attention to the road may
result in a crash, serious injury or death. Adaptive cruise control is not a crash
warning or avoidance system. WARNINGS
Adaptive cruise control will not detect
stationary or slow moving vehicles
below 6 mph (10 km/h). Adaptive cruise control will not detect
pedestrians or objects in the roadway.
Adaptive cruise control will not detect
oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
Do not use the adaptive cruise control
when entering or leaving a highway, in
heavy traffic or on roads that are winding,
slippery or unpaved. Do not use in poor visibility, specifically
fog, rain, spray or snow.
Note:
It is your responsibility to stay alert,
drive safely and control the vehicle at all
times.
The system adjusts your speed to maintain
a proper distance between you and the
vehicle in front of you in the same lane. You
can select from one of four gap settings. The controls for using your cruise control are
located on the steering wheel.
Switching the System On
Press and release
ON.
The information display shows the
grey indicator light.

Setting a Speed
1. Accelerate to the desired speed.
2. Press and release SET+. Memory stores
the vehicle speed.
3. The information display shows a green indicator light, current gap setting and
desired set speed.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. 5.
A lead vehicle graphic illuminates if there
is a vehicle detected in front of you.
Note: When adaptive cruise control is active,
the speedometer may vary slightly from the
set speed displayed in the information
display. Following a Vehicle WARNINGS
When following a vehicle in front of
you, your vehicle will not decelerate
automatically to a stop, nor will your vehicle
always decelerate quickly enough to avoid
a crash without driver intervention. Always
apply the brakes when necessary. Failing to
do so may result in a crash, serious injury or
death. Adaptive cruise control only warns of
vehicles detected by the radar sensor.
In some cases there may be no warning or
a delayed warning. You should always apply
the brakes when necessary. Failing to do so
may result in a crash, serious injury or death. Note:
The brakes may emit a sound when
the adaptive cruise control system is active.
When a vehicle ahead of you enters the
same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in the
same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts to
maintain a preset gap distance. The distance
setting is adjustable. The system may provide slight temporary
acceleration when you use your driver side
directional indicator while following a lead
vehicle, to aid in passing the vehicle.
The lead vehicle graphic illuminates.
The vehicle will maintain a constant distance
between the vehicle ahead until:
•
The vehicle in front of you accelerates to
a speed above the set speed.
• The vehicle in front of you moves out of
your lane or out of view.
• The vehicle speed falls below 12 mph (20
km/h).
• A new gap distance is set.
The system applies the brakes to slow the
vehicle to maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front. The system applies only
limited maximum braking. Press the brake
pedal to override the system.
If the system predicts that its maximum
braking level is insufficient, an audible
warning sounds while the system continues
to brake. A red warning bar appears on the
windshield heads up display. Take immediate
action to slow or stop the vehicle.

Each time you start the vehicle, the system
selects the last chosen gap for the current
driver.
Disengaging the System
Press the brake pedal or press CNCL. The
last set speed will display in grey but will not
erase.
Overriding the System WARNING
Whenever you press the accelerator
pedal and override the system, the
system will not automatically apply the
brakes to maintain separation from any
vehicle ahead. While you press the accelerator pedal, you
override the set speed and gap distance.
When you override the system,
the green indicator light
illuminates and the lead vehicle
graphic does not show in the information
display. The system resumes operation when you
release the accelerator pedal. The vehicle
speed decreases to the set speed, or a lower
speed if following a slower vehicle.
Changing the Set Speed
•
Accelerate or brake to the desired speed,
then press and release
SET+.
• Press and hold
SET+ or SET- until the
desired set speed shows on the
information display. The vehicle speed
gradually changes to the selected speed.
• Press and release SET+ or SET-. The set
speed will change in approximately 1 mph
(2 km/h) increments.
The system may apply the brakes to slow
the vehicle to the new set speed. The set
speed will display continuously in the
information display while the system is active.
Resuming the Set Speed
Note: Only use resume if you are aware of
the set speed and intend to return to it. Press and release
RES. The vehicle returns
to the previously set speed. The set speed
shows continuously in the information display
while the system is active.
Low Speed Automatic Cancellation
The system is not functional at vehicle
speeds below 12 mph (20 km/h). An audible
alarm will sound and the automatic braking
releases if the vehicle drops below this
speed.
Hilly Condition Usage
Note: An audible alarm will sound and the
system will shut down if it applies brakes for
an extended period of time. This allows the
brakes to cool. The system functions
normally again when the brakes have
cooled.

System Not Available
Conditions that can cause the system to
deactivate or prevent the system from
activating when requested include:
•
A blocked sensor.
• High brake temperature.
• A failure in the system or a related
system. Blocked Sensor WARNINGS
Do not use the system when towing a
trailer with aftermarked trailer brake
controls. Aftermarket trailer brakes will not
function properly when you switch the
system on because the brakes are
electronically controlled. Failing to do so may
result in loss of vehicle control, which could
result in serious injury. Do not use tire sizes other than those
recommended because this can affect
the normal operation of the system. Failing
to do so may result in a loss of vehicle
control, which could result in serious injury. A message displays if something obstructs
the radar signals from the sensor. The sensor
is located behind a cover near the driver side
of the lower grille. The system cannot detect
a vehicle ahead and will not function when
something obstructs the radar signals. The
following table lists possible causes and
actions for this message displaying.
209
MKC (TME), enUSA Cruise ControlE145632

Action
Cause
Clean the grille surface in front of the radar or remove the objectcausing the obstruction.
The surface of the radar in the grille is dirty or obstructed in some
way.
Wait a short time. It may take several minutes for the radar to detectthat it is free from obstruction.
The surface of the radar in the grille is clean but the message remains
in the display.
Do not use the system in these conditions because it may not detectany vehicles ahead.
Heavy rain or snow is interfering with the radar signals.
Do not use the system in these conditions because it may not detectany vehicles ahead.
Swirling water, or snow or ice on the surface of the road may interfere
with the radar signals.
Wait a short time or switch to normal cruise control.
You are in a desert or remote area with no other vehicles and no
roadside objects.
Due to the nature of radar technology, it is
possible to get a blockage warning and not
be blocked. This can happen, for example,
when driving in sparse rural or desert
environments. A false blocked condition will
either self clear or clear after a key cycle. Switching to Normal Cruise Control WARNING
Normal cruise control will not brake
due to slower vehicles. Always be
aware of which mode you have selected and
apply the brakes when necessary. You can manually change from adaptive
cruise control to normal cruise control
through the information display.
