Once the system is active, the high beams
will switch on if:
•
the ambient light level is low enough
• there is no traffic in front of the vehicle
• the vehicle speed is greater than
approximately 24 mph (39 km/h)
The high beams will switch off if:
• the system detects the headlamps of an
approaching vehicle or the tail lamps of
a preceding vehicle.
• vehicle speed falls below approximately
17 mph (27 km/h)
• the ambient light level is high enough
that high beams are not required
• the system detects severe rain, snow or
fog
• the camera is blocked
Activating the System
Switch on the system using the information
display and autolamps.
See Information
Displays (page 110). See Autolamps (page
87). Switch the lighting control to the autolamps
position.
Manually Overriding the System When the automatic control has activated
the high beams, pushing or pulling the stalk
will provide a temporary override to low
beam.
Use the information display menu to
permanently deactivate the system, or turn
the lighting control switch from autolamps to
headlamps.
ADAPTIVE HEADLAMPS
The headlamp beams move in the same
direction as the steering wheel. This provides
more visibility when driving around curves.

The keyless starting system has three
modes:
•
Off: Turns the ignition off.
• Without applying the brake pedal,
press and release the button once
when the ignition is in the on mode,
or when the vehicle is running but is
not moving.
• On:
All electrical circuits are operational
and the warning lamps and indicators
illuminate.
• Without applying the brake pedal,
press and release the button once.
• Start:
Starts the vehicle. The engine may
not start when the vehicle starts.
• Press the brake pedal, and then press
the button until the vehicle starts. An
indicator light on the button
illuminates when the ignition is on
and when the vehicle starts. STARTING A GASOLINE ENGINE
When the engine starts for the first time on
your drive, the idle speed increases, this
helps to warm up the engine. If the engine
idle speed does not slow down automatically,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer.
Note:
You can crank the engine for a total
of 60 seconds (without the engine starting)
before the starting system temporarily
disables. The 60 seconds does not have to
be all at once. For example, if you crank the
engine three times for 20 seconds each time,
without the engine starting, you reached the
60-second time limit. A message appears in
the information display alerting you that you
exceeded the cranking time. You cannot
attempt to start the engine for at least 15
minutes. After 15 minutes, you are limited to
a 15-second engine cranking time. You need
to wait 60 minutes before you can crank the
engine for 60 seconds again. Before starting the vehicle, check the
following:
•
Make sure all occupants have fastened
their safety belts.
• Make sure the headlamps and electrical
accessories are off.
• Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Put the transmission in
P.
Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
2. Press the button.
Note: The green ready indicator illuminates
letting you know that the vehicle is ready for
driving. Since your vehicle is equipped with
a silent key start, the engine may not start
at the time of the vehicle start.
See Hybrid
Electric Vehicle (page 171).
The system does not function if:
• The key frequencies are jammed.
• The key battery has no charge.
If you are unable to start the vehicle, do the

AlertA
AidB
Alert + Aid – Provides an assistance steering
torque input toward the lane center. If your
vehicle continues drifting out of the lane, the
system provides a steering wheel vibration.
Note: The alert and aid diagrams illustrate
general zone coverage. They do not provide
exact zone parameters.
Intensity: This setting affects the intensity of
the steering wheel vibration used for the alert
and alert + aid modes. This setting does not
affect the aid mode. •

System Display When you switch on the system, an overhead
graphic of a vehicle with lane markings will
display in the information display. If you
select aid mode when you switch on the
system, a separate white icon will also
appear or in some vehicles arrows will
display with the lane markings.
When you switch off the system, the lane
marking graphics will not display.While the system is on, the color of the lane
markings will change to indicate the system
status.
Gray: Indicates that the system is temporarily
unable to provide a warning or intervention
on the indicated side(s). This may be
because:
•
Your vehicle is under the activation
speed.
• The turn indicator is active.
• Your vehicle is in a dynamic maneuver.
• The road has no or poor lane markings
in the camera field-of-view.
• The camera is obscured or unable to
detect the lane markings due to
environmental conditions (significant sun
angles, shadows, snow, heavy rain or
fog), traffic conditions (following a large
vehicle that is blocking or shadowing the
lane), or vehicle conditions (poor
headlamp illumination).
See Troubleshooting for additional
information.

System Limitations WARNING
The Pre-Collision Assist system
’s brake
support only reduces collision speed
if you first apply your brakes. You must brake
as you would in any typical braking situation. Due to the nature of radar technology, there
may be certain instances where vehicles do
not provide a collision warning. These
include: •
Stationary vehicles or vehicles moving
below 6.2 mph (10 km/h).
• Pedestrians or objects in the roadway.
• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
• Severe weather conditions (see blocked
sensor section).
• Debris build-up on the grille near the
headlamps (see blocked sensor section).
• Small distance to vehicle ahead.
• Large steering wheel and pedal
movements (very active driving style). Damage to the front end of your vehicle may
alter the radar sensor's coverage area. This
may result in missed or false collision
warnings. Have an authorized dealer check
your radar sensor for proper coverage and
operation.
