208 DRIVING AND OPERATING
The vehicle ahead indicator will
display amber when you are following
a vehicle ahead much too closely.
Selecting the Alert Timing
The Collision Alert control is on the
steering wheel. Press
[to set the
FCA timing to Far, Medium, or Near,
or on some vehicles, Off. The first
button press shows the current setting
on the DIC. Additional button presses
will change this setting. The chosen
setting will remain until it is changed
and will affect the timing of both the
Collision Alert and the Tailgating
Alert features. The timing of both
alerts will vary based on vehicle speed. The faster the vehicle speed, the
farther away the alert will occur.
Consider traffic and weather
conditions when selecting the alert
timing. The range of selectable alert
timings may not be appropriate for all
drivers and driving conditions.
If your vehicle is equipped with
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC),
changing the FCA timing setting
automatically changes the following
gap setting (Far, Medium, or Near).
Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may provide unnecessary alerts
for turning vehicles, vehicles in other
lanes, objects that are not vehicles,
or shadows. These alerts are normal
operation and the vehicle does not
need service.
Cleaning the System
If the FCA system does not seem to
operate properly, cleaning the outside
of the windshield in front the rearview
mirror, and cleaning the front of the
vehicle where radar sensors are
located, may correct the issue.
Forward Automatic
Braking (FAB)
If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC), it also has FAB, which
includes Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA).
When the system detects a vehicle
ahead in your path that is traveling in
the same direction that you may be
about to crash into, it can provide a
boost to braking or automatically
brake the vehicle. This can help avoid
or lessen the severity of crashes when
driving in a forward gear. Depending
on the situation, the vehicle may
automatically brake moderately or
hard. This forward automatic braking
can only occur if a vehicle is detected.
This is shown by the FCA vehicle
ahead indicator being lit. See
Forward
Collision Alert (FCA) System 0206.
The system works when driving in a
forward gear above 4 km/h (2 mph).
It can detect vehicles up to
approximately 60 m (197 ft).

210 DRIVING AND OPERATING
Side Blind Zone
Alert (SBZA)
If equipped, the Side Blind Zone Alert
system is a lane-changing aid that
assists drivers with avoiding crashes
that occur with moving vehicles in the
side blind zone (or spot) areas. The
SBZA warning display will light up in
the corresponding outside side mirror
and will flash if the turn signal is on.
{Warning
SBZA does not alert the driver to
vehicles rapidly approaching
outside of the side blind zones,
pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals.
It may not provide alerts when
changing lanes under all driving
conditions. Failure to use proper
care when changing lanes may
result in injury, death, or vehicle
damage. Before making a lane
change, always check mirrors,
glance over your shoulder, and use
the turn signals.SBZA Detection ZonesThe SBZA sensor covers a zone of
approximately one lane over from
both sides of the vehicle, or 3.5 m
(11 ft). The height of the zone is
approximately between 0.5 m (1.5 ft)
and 2 m (6 ft) off the ground. This
zone starts at approximately the
middle of the vehicle and goes back
5 m (16 ft).
How the System Works
The SBZA symbol lights up in the side
mirrors when the system detects a
moving vehicle in the next lane over
that is in the side blind zone. This
indicates it may be unsafe to change lanes. Before making a lane change,
check the SBZA display, check mirrors,
glance over your shoulder, and use the
turn signals.
Left Side Mirror
DisplayRight Side Mirror Display
When the vehicle is started, both
outside mirror SBZA displays will
briefly come on to indicate the system
is operating. When the vehicle is in a
forward gear, the left or right side
mirror display will light up if a moving
vehicle is detected in that blind zone.
If the turn signal is activated in the
same direction as a detected vehicle,
this display will flash as an extra
warning not to change lanes.
SBZA can be disabled through vehicle
personalization. See “Collision/
Detection Systems” underVehicle
Personalization 0144. If SBZA is
disabled by the driver, the SBZA
mirror displays will not light up.

212 DRIVING AND OPERATING
Warning (Continued)
or death could occur. Always keep
the windshield, headlamps, and
camera sensors clean and in good
repair. Do not use LDW in bad
weather conditions.
How the System Works
The LDW camera sensor is on the
windshield ahead of the rearview
mirror.
To turn LDW on and off, press
@on
the center stack to the left of the
infotainment screen. The control
indicator will light when LDW is on.
When LDW is on,@is green if LDW
is available to warn of a lane
departure. If the vehicle crosses a
detected lane marking without using the turn signal in that direction,
@
changes to amber and flashes.
Additionally, there will be three beeps,
or the driver seat will pulse three
times, on the right or left, depending
on the lane departure direction.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The system may not detect lanes as
well when there are:
.
Close vehicles ahead.
. Sudden lighting changes, such as
when driving through tunnels.
. Banked roads.
If the LDW system is not functioning
properly when lane markings are
clearly visible, cleaning the windshield
may help.
LDW alerts may occur due to tar
marks, shadows, cracks in the road,
temporary or construction lane
markings, or other road imperfections.
This is normal system operation; the
vehicle does not need service. Turn
LDW off if these conditions continue.
Fuel
Use the recommended fuel for proper
vehicle maintenance.
For the LFX 3.6L V6 engine, use
unleaded petrol with a posted octane
rating of 91 RON or higher, otherwise
an audible knocking noise may be
heard. If heavy knocking is heard
when using gasoline rated at 91 RON
or higher, the engine needs service.
For the LF3 3.6L V6 twin turbo engine,
use unleaded petrol with a posted
octane rating of 95 RON or higher.
If the octane is less than 95 RON, the
engine could be damaged and repairs
would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. If heavy knocking is heard
when using petrol rated at 95 RON
octane, the engine needs service.

216 DRIVING AND OPERATING
.Do not tow a trailer during the
first 800 km (500 mi), to prevent
damage to the engine, axle,
or other parts.
. Then, during the first 800 km
(500 mi) of trailer towing, do not
drive over 80 km/h (50 mph) and
do not make starts at full throttle.
. The vehicle can tow in D (Drive).
Use a lower gear if the
transmission shifts too often.
. Do not use Adaptive Cruise
Control when towing.
. The Forward Automatic Braking
System should be set to Off when
towing. See Forward Automatic
Braking (FAB) 0208.
. Turn off Parking Assist when
towing.{Warning
When towing a trailer, exhaust
gases may collect at the rear of the
vehicle and enter if the liftgate,
trunk/hatch, or rear-most window
is open.
When towing a trailer:
. Do not drive with the liftgate,
trunk/hatch, or rear-most
window open.
. Fully open the air outlets on
or under the instrument
panel.
. Also adjust the climate
control system to a setting
that brings in only outside air.
See “Climate Control Systems ”
in the Index.
For information about carbon
monoxide, see Engine
Exhaust 0182.
Towing a trailer requires a certain
amount of experience. The
combination you are driving is longer
and not as responsive as the vehicle itself. Get acquainted with the
handling and braking of the rig before
setting out for the open road.
Before starting, check all trailer hitch
parts and attachments, safety chains,
electrical connectors, lamps, tires, and
mirrors. If the trailer has electric
brakes, start the combination moving
and then apply the trailer brake
controller by hand to be sure the
brakes work.
During the trip, check occasionally to
be sure that the load is secure and the
lamps and any trailer brakes
still work.
Towing with a Stability Control
System
When towing, the sound of the
stability control system might be
heard. The system is reacting to the
vehicle movement caused by the
trailer, which mainly occurs during
cornering. This is normal when towing
heavier trailers.
