system by pressing the accelerator
pedal, it does not automatically apply
the brakes to maintain a gap from any
vehicle ahead.

Use the accelerator pedal to intentionally
exceed the set speed limit.
When you override the system, the green
indicator illuminates and the vehicle icon
does not appear in the instrument cluster
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. ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Normal Cruise Control. The cruise control indicator
replaces the adaptive cruise
control indicator if you select
normal cruise control. The gap setting
does not display, and the system does not
respond to lead vehicles. Automatic
braking remains active to maintain set
speed. The system remembers the last
setting when you start your vehicle.
LANE CENTERING
HOW DOES LANE CENTERING
WORK
Adaptive cruise control with lane centering
uses radar and camera sensors to help
keep your vehicle in the middle of the lane
by applying continuous assistance steering
torque input toward the lane center on
highways.
Note: The adaptive cruise control gap
setting operates normally.
If you drive off-center within the lane, the
system sets and maintains that preferred
lane position. The system provides
continuous assistance steering torque
input toward the preferred position.
Note: The system can only set preferred
lane positions within the lane.
Note: If the system cancels, the preferred
position erases. On the next activation, the
system provides continuous assistance
steering torque input toward the lane center. LANE CENTERING PRECAUTIONS WARNING: Do not use the system
when towing a trailer. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death. WARNING:
Do not use the system
if any changes or modifications to the
steering wheel have been made. Any
changes or modifications to the steering
wheel could affect the functionality or
performance of the system. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death.
Adaptive cruise control precautions apply
to lane centering unless stated otherwise
or contradicted by a lane centering
precaution. See Adaptive Cruise Control
Precautions
(page 352).
LANE CENTERING
REQUIREMENTS
You must keep your hands on the steering
wheel at all times.
The system only activates when all of the
following occur:

stop and go on.
• Lane centering assist is enabled in your
information and entertainment screen.
See
Switching Lane Centering On

LANE CENTERING LIMITATIONS
Adaptive cruise control limitations apply
to lane centering unless stated otherwise
or contradicted by a lane centering
limitation. See Adaptive Cruise Control
Limitations (page 353).
Lane Centering may not correctly operate
in any of the following conditions:
• The lane is too narrow or wide.
• The system does not detect at least
one lane marking or when lanes merge
or split.
• Limited steering torque input is applied.
• Areas under construction or new
infrastructure.
• When modifications to the steering
system have been made.
• When using a spare tire.
• In high wind conditions.
Note: The driving assistance torque is
limited and may not be sufficient for all
driving situations such as driving through
tight curves or driving through curves at high
speeds.
Note: In exceptional conditions, such as
inclement weather or direct sunlight, the
system could deviate from the center line
or could cancel.

INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL LIMITATIONS
The speed limit information provided by
the navigation map data could be
inaccurate or out of date.
The system may not detect and read
speed limit signs with conditional
information, for example, when a sign is
flashing, during specific time ranges, or
when children are present.
Note:
The system does not set the vehicle
speed to speed limits shown with a
supplementary traffic sign.
Under certain conditions, the system may
not adjust the vehicle speed until after your
vehicle passes the speed limit.

BLUECRUISE ALERTS
When BlueCruise is providing hands-on
driving or transitioning to hands-on driving
from hands-free driving and detects no
steering activity for a certain period of time,
the system alerts you with a message in
the instrument cluster to put your hands
on the steering wheel. After the first alert,
the system alerts you with a message in
the instrument cluster and an audible
warning.
When BlueCruise is providing hands-on or
hands-free driving and detects you are not
looking at the road for a certain period of
time, the system alerts you to return your
eyes to the road. Depending on where you
are looking, the alert can be a message in
the instrument cluster and an audible
warning.
If you do not react to the warnings,
BlueCruise cancels, quickly activates and
releases the brakes, and slows your vehicle
down to low speeds while maintaining
steering control.
If your vehicle slows down and you resume
control, a message appears to prompt you
to press the accelerator pedal to allow the
system to resume.
Note:
If the system detects repeated
inactivity, it disables until the next key cycle.
BLUECRUISE AUTOMATIC
CANCELLATION
When an external condition cancels
BlueCruise, for example, no lane markings
available, a tone sounds and a message
appears in the instrument cluster. If your vehicle starts to slow
down, you must take control of
steering and press and release
the button to reactivate BlueCruise. System cancellation can also occur if:
•
The lane becomes too narrow.
• The system cannot detect valid lane
markings.
• Lane markings cross.
• Your eyes are not on the road or your
hands are not the steering wheel.
If you have your hands on the steering
wheel and your eyes are on the road when
the feature is active and a cancellation
occurs, the system sounds a tone and
displays a cancelled graphic in the
instrument cluster.
If you are not paying attention to the road
or your hands are not on the steering wheel
and a cancellation occurs, the system
displays a message and a tone sounds until
you resume control. If you do not resume
control in time, BlueCruise quickly activates
and releases the brakes, and slows your
vehicle down to low speeds while
maintaining steering control. If your vehicle
slows down and you resume control, a
message appears to prompt you to press
the accelerator pedal to allow the system
to resume.
Note: The system disables until the next
key cycle if it detects repeated inactivity.
BLUECRUISE INDICATORS When on, the color of the
indicator changes to indicate the
status.
Gray indicates BlueCruise is on but inactive.
Green indicates BlueCruise is active and
applying continuous steering support.
Blue indicates BlueCruise is active and
hands-free driving mode is available.
