The sun is shining directly into the camera lens. A quick intentional lane change has occurred.
Your vehicle stays too close to the lane markings for an extended interva\
l of time. Driving at high speeds in curves.
The last alert warning or aid intervention occurred a short time ago. Ambiguous lane markings, for example, in construction zones. Rapid transition from light to dark, or from dark to light. Sudden offset in lane markings.ABS or AdvanceTrac ™ is active.
There is a camera blockage due to dirt, grime, fog, frost or water on the windshield. You are driving too close to the vehicle in front of you.

WHAT IS PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
Pre-collision assist detects and warns of
approaching hazards in the roadway. If your
vehicle is rapidly approaching another
stationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in the
same direction as yours, or a pedestrian
within your driving path, the system provides
multiple levels of assistance to help avoid a
collision.
HOW DOES PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST WORK
Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic
Emergency Braking
The system warns the driver of potential
hazards by providing three levels of
assistance.
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
potential hazards, the system provides the
following levels of functionality:
1. Alert.
2. Brake Support.
3. Automatic Emergency Braking. Alert: When active, a flashing visual warning
appears and an audible warning tone
sounds.
Brake Support
: The system is designed to
help reduce the impact speed by preparing
the brakes for rapid braking. The system
does not automatically apply the brakes. If
you press the brake pedal, the system could
apply additional braking up to maximum
braking force, even if you lightly press the
brake pedal.
Automatic Emergency Braking
: Automatic
emergency braking could activate if the
system determines that a collision is
imminent. Note:
If you perceive pre-collision assist
alerts as being too frequent or disturbing,
then you could reduce the alert sensitivity.
The manufacturer recommends using the
highest sensitivity setting where possible.
Setting a lower sensitivity would lead to
fewer and later system warnings.
Each system has various levels of detection
capabilities.
See Pre-Collision Assist
Limitations (page 280).
PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
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.

WARNING: The system does not
detect vehicles that are driving in a
different direction, cyclists or animals.
Apply the brakes when necessary. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
The system does not
operate during hard acceleration or
steering. Failure to take care may lead to
a crash or personal injury. WARNING:
The system may fail or
operate with reduced function during cold
and severe weather conditions. Snow, ice,
rain, spray and fog can adversely affect the
system. Keep the front camera and radar
free of snow and ice. Failure to take care
may result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, serious personal injury or death. WARNING:
Take additional care if
your vehicle is heavily loaded or you are
towing a trailer. These conditions could
result in reduced performance of this
system. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING:
The system cannot help
prevent all crashes. Do not rely on this
system to replace driver judgment and the
need to maintain a safe distance and
speed. WARNING:
In situations where the
vehicle camera has limited detection
capability, this may reduce system
performance. These situations include but
are not limited to direct or low sunlight,
vehicles at night without tail lights,
unconventional vehicle types, pedestrians
with complex backgrounds, running pedestrians, partly obscured pedestrians,
or pedestrians that the system cannot
distinguish from a group. Failure to take
care may result in the loss of control of
your vehicle, serious personal injury or
death.
PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
LIMITATIONS
Pre-collision assist depends on the detection
ability of its camera and sensors. Any
obstructions or damage to these areas can
limit detection or prevent the system from
functioning. See Locating the Pre-Collision
Assist Sensors (page 281).
The system is active at speeds above 3 mph
(5 km/h)
Note: The pre-collision assist system
disables when you select four-wheel drive
low or manually disable AdvanceTrac ™.

Note:
You cannot use a seven-pin trailer
wiring connector for your vehicle and the
trailer lighting equipment.
Trailer Lamps WARNING: Never connect any trailer
lamp wiring to the vehicle's tail lamp wiring;
this may damage the electrical system
resulting in fire. Contact your authorized
dealer as soon as possible for assistance
in proper trailer tow wiring installation.
Additional electrical equipment may be
required.
Trailer lamps are required on most towed
vehicles. Make sure all running lights, brake
lights, turn signals and hazard lights are
working.
Safety Chains
Note: Do not attach safety chains to the
bumper. Always connect the safety chains
to the frame or hook retainers of your trailer
hitch. Install trailer safety chains to the trailer hitch
as recommended by the manufacturer. Cross
the chains under the trailer coupler and allow
enough slack for turning tight corners. Do
not allow the chains to drag on the ground.
If the trailer safety chain hook has a latch,
make sure the latch is fully closed.

When driving through standing water, drive
very slowly and do not stop your vehicle.
Your brake performance and traction may
be limited. After driving through water and
as soon as it is safe to do so:
•
Lightly press the brake pedal to dry the
brakes and to check that they work.
• Check that the horn works.
• Check that the exterior lights work.
• Turn the steering wheel to check that the
steering power assist works. DRIVING ECONOMICALLY
The following helps to improve fuel
consumption:
•
Drive smoothly, accelerate gently and
anticipate the road ahead to avoid heavy
braking.
• Regularly check your tire pressures and
make sure that they are inflated to the
correct pressure.
• Follow the recommended maintenance
schedule and carry out the
recommended checks.
• Plan your journey and check the traffic
before you set off. It is more efficient to
combine errands into a single trip
whenever possible.
• Avoid idling the engine in cold weather
or for extended periods. Start the engine
only when you are ready to set off.
• Do not carry unnecessary weight in your
vehicle as extra weight wastes fuel. •
Do not add unnecessary accessories to
the exterior of your vehicle, for example
running boards. If you use a roof rack,
remember to fold it down or remove it
when not in use.
• Do not shift into neutral when you are
braking or when your vehicle is slowing
down.
• Shut all windows when driving at high
speeds.
• Switch off all electric systems when not
in use, for example air conditioning. Make
sure that you unplug any accessories
from the auxiliary power points when not
in use.
FLOOR MATS WARNING: Use a floor mat designed
to fit the footwell of your vehicle that does
not obstruct the pedal area. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death.
