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.

LANE CENTERING ALERTS
You must keep your hands on the steering
wheel at all times.
When the system is active and detects no
steering activity for a period of time, the
system alerts you to put your hands on the
steering wheel. If you do not react to the
warnings the system cancels and slows
your vehicle down to idle speeds while
maintaining steering control.
See Lane
Centering Automatic Cancellation
(page
360).
The system also alerts you if your vehicle
crosses lane markings without detected
steering activity.
Note: The system could detect a light grip
or touch on the steering wheel as hands-off
driving.
LANE CENTERING AUTOMATIC
CANCELLATION
When an external condition cancels the
system, for example, no lane markings
available, a tone sounds and a message
appears in the instrument cluster display.

If your vehicle starts to slow
down, you must provide steering
input to the wheel and press and
release the button to regain full system
performance.
Automatic cancellation can also occur if:
• The lane becomes too wide or too
narrow.
• The system cannot detect valid lane
markings.
• Lane markings cross over one another.
Note: The system disables until the next
key cycle if your vehicle slows down due to
driver inactivity twice within a key cycle.
LANE CENTERING INDICATORS Illuminates when you switch
lane centering on. The color of
the indicator changes to indicate
the system status.
Gray indicates the system is on but
inactive.
Green indicates the system is active and
applying steering torque assistance input
to keep your vehicle in the center of the
lane.
Amber with an audible tone and then gray
indicates a system automatic cancellation. INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE
CRUISE CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
HOW DOES INTELLIGENT
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
WORK
Intelligent adaptive cruise control
combines speed sign recognition with
adaptive cruise control to adjust the cruise
set speed to the speed limit detected by
the speed sign recognition system. As the
system detects new speed signs, the set
speed updates.
There are limitations that affect the
accuracy of the speed sign recognition
system and its ability to determine the
current speed limit. The intelligent
adaptive cruise control system and its
ability to determine the current speed limit
shares these limitations. See Speed Sign
Recognition
(page 409).
Note: The adaptive cruise control gap
setting operates normally.
INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL PRECAUTIONS WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death.
INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL REQUIREMENTS
Traffic sign recognition must be enabled
for intelligent adaptive cruise control to be
active.

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.

WHAT IS DRIVE MODE
CONTROL
Your vehicle has various drive modes that
you can select for different driving
conditions. Depending on the drive mode
that you select, the system adjusts various
vehicle settings.
HOW DOES DRIVE MODE
CONTROL WORK - RAPTOR
Selectable drive modes change various
electronic and mechanical settings within
your vehicle to tailor its performance and
driving characteristics to on-road or
off-road driving conditions. Steering feel
and effort, traction control, stability
control, chassis controls, powertrain
response, transmission shift points,
four-wheel driveline settings, exhaust noise
level and suspension dampening are
automatically altered to a pre-determined
setting depending upon the drive mode
that you select.
Note:
Your vehicle has diagnostic checks
that continuously monitor all systems for
proper operation. If a drive mode is
unavailable due to a system fault, your
vehicle defaults to normal mode and the
driveline remains in the four-wheel drive
setting that you last selected prior to the
system fault. Note:
Your vehicle reverts to normal mode
each time you start it. If you shut your
vehicle off in a drive mode other than
normal mode, at startup the instrument
cluster screen displays a pop-up asking if
you would like to return to your last used
drive mode. If you select yes to the pop-up,
your vehicle returns to the last selected drive
mode and the default four-wheel driveline
setting associated with that drive mode. If
you select no, your vehicle remains in normal
mode and the default four-wheel driveline
setting associated with that drive mode. If
you do not select yes or no, the pop-up
message times out, your vehicle remains in
normal mode, and the four-wheel driveline
setting remains in its last used setting.
Note: Do not use the electronic locking
differential on dry, hard surfaces. Doing so
produces excessive noise, vibration and
increases tire wear. See Electronic Locking
Differential (page 301).
