230 DRIVING AND OPERATING
Tailgating Alert
The vehicle ahead indicator will
display amber when you are following
a detected 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, 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
timing may not be appropriate for all
drivers and driving conditions.
If equipped with Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC), changing the FCA
timing setting automatically changes
the ACC following gap setting (Far,
Medium, or Near).
Following Distance Indicator
The following distance to a moving
vehicle ahead in your path is indicated
in following time in seconds on the Driver Information Center (DIC). See
Driver Information Center (DIC)
0128.
The minimum following time is
0.5 seconds away. If there is no vehicle
detected ahead, or the vehicle ahead is
out of sensor range, dashes will be
displayed.
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, this may correct the
issue:
. Clean the outside of the
windshield in front of the rearview
mirror.
. Clean the entire front of the
vehicle.
. Clean the headlamps.

DRIVING AND OPERATING 235
Warning (Continued)
The LKA and LDW systems
may not:. Provide an alert or enough
steering assist to avoid a lane
departure or crash.
. Detect lane markings under
poor weather or visibility
conditions. This can occur if
the windshield or headlamps
are blocked by dirt, snow,
or ice, if they are not in
proper condition, or if the sun
shines directly into the
camera.
. Detect road edges.
. Detect lanes on winding or
hilly roads.
If LKA only detects lane markings
on one side of the road, it will only
assist or provide an LDW alert
when approaching the lane on the
side where it has detected a lane
marking. Even with LKA and LDW, (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
you must steer the vehicle. Always
keep your attention on the road and
maintain proper vehicle position
within the lane, or vehicle damage,
injury, or death could occur. Always
keep the windshield, headlamps,
and camera sensors clean and in
good repair. Do not use LKA in bad
weather conditions.
{Warning
Using LKA while towing a trailer or
on slippery roads could cause loss
of control of the vehicle and a
crash. Turn the system off.
How the System Works
The LKA camera sensor is on the
windshield ahead of the rearview
mirror.
To turn LKA on and off, press
Ato
the left of the steering wheel. When on,
Ais green if LKA is
available to assist and provide LDW
alerts. It may assist by gently turning
the steering wheel and display
A
as amber if the vehicle approaches a
detected lane marking without using a
turn signal in that direction. It may
also provide an LDW alert by flashing
Aamber as the lane marking is
crossed. Additionally, there may be
three beeps, or the driver seat may
pulse three times, on the right or left,
depending on the lane departure
direction.
Take Steering
The LKA system does not
continuously steer the vehicle. If LKA
does not detect active driver steering,
an alert, chime, or DIC message may
be provided. Steer the vehicle to
dismiss.
