The radar sensor is in the lower grille.
Note:
You cannot see the sensor. It is behind
a fascia panel.
Note: Keep the front of your vehicle free of
dirt, metal badges or objects. Vehicle front
protectors, aftermarket lights, additional
paint or plastic coatings could also degrade
sensor performance.
A message displays if something obstructs
the camera or the sensor. When something
blocks the sensor, the system cannot detect
a vehicle ahead and does not function. See
Adaptive Cruise Control – Information
Messages (page 263). The radar sensor has a limited field of view.
It may not detect vehicles at all or detect a
vehicle later than expected in some
situations. The lead vehicle image does not
illuminate if the system does not detect a
vehicle in front of you.

Detection issues can occur:
When driving on a different line
than the vehicle in front.
A B With vehicles that edge into your
lane. The system can only detect
these vehicles once they move
fully into your lane.
There may be issues with the
detection of vehicles in front when
driving into and coming out of a
bend or curve in the road.
C
In these cases, the system may brake late or
unexpectedly.
If something hits the front end of your vehicle
or damage occurs, the radar-sensing zone
may change. This could cause missed or
false vehicle detection.
Optimal system performance requires a clear
view of the road by the windshield-mounted
camera.
Optimal performance may not occur if:
• The camera is blocked.
• There is poor visibility or lighting
conditions.
• There are bad weather conditions. SWITCHING ADAPTIVE CRUISE

Message
A malfunction is preventing the adaptive cruise from engaging.
Adaptive Cruise Malfunction
Front Sensor Not Aligned Contact an authorized dealer to have the radar checked for proper coverage and operation. Conditions exist preventing the system from being available.
Adaptive Cruise Not Available
You have a blocked radar because of poor radar visibility due to inclement weather or ic\
e, mud,or water in front of the radar. You can typically clean the sensor to resolve this.
Adaptive Cruise Not Available Sensor
Blocked See Manual Due to the nature of radar technology, it is possible to get a blockage warning with no actual

WHAT IS THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM
The lane keeping system alerts you by
providing temporary steering assistance or
steering wheel vibration when it detects an
unintended lane departure.
HOW DOES THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM WORK
L
ane-K eeping S ystem
The lane keeping system uses a forward
looking camera mounted on the windshield
to monitor vehicle movement within the
travel lane.
When the camera detects a drift out of the
travel lane, the lane keeping system alerts
the driver by vibrating the steering wheel, or
aids the driver by providing a small steering
input to move the vehicle back into the travel
lane.
The driver can select one of three modes: •
Alert (If Equipped)
• Aid
• Alert + Aid
LANE KEEPING SYSTEM
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 will not
operate if the sensor cannot track the road
lane markings. WARNING:
The sensor may
incorrectly track lane markings as other
structures or objects. This can result in a
false or missed warning. WARNING:
In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all limit
sensor performance. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from obstruction. WARNING:
If damage occurs in the
immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. WARNING:
The system may not
correctly operate if your vehicle is fitted
with a suspension kit not approved by us. WARNING: Large contrasts in outside
lighting can limit sensor performance.

LANE KEEPING SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS
The lane keeping system only operates when
the vehicle speed is greater than 40 mph
(64 km/h).
The system works when the camera can
detect at least one lane marking.
The lane keeping system may not correctly
operate in any of the following conditions:
• The lane keeping system does not detect
at least one lane marking.
• You switch the turn signal on.
• You apply direct steering, accelerate fast
or brake hard.
• The vehicle speed is less than
40 mph
(64 km/h).
• The anti-lock brake, stability control or

• The lane is too narrow.
• Something is obscuring the camera or it
is unable to detect the lane markings due
to environment, traffic or vehicle
conditions. The lane keeping system may not correct
lane positioning in any of the following
conditions:
•
High winds.
• Uneven road surfaces.
• Heavy or uneven loads.
• Incorrect tire pressure.
SWITCHING THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM ON AND OFF To activate the lane keeping
system, press the button on the
turn signal lever.
Note: The system stores the on or off setting
until manually changed, unless it detects a
MyKey™. If the system detects a MyKey™, it
defaults to on and the mode is set to alert.

pressing the button does not affect the on
or off status of the system. You can only
change the mode and intensity settings. SWITCHING THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM MODE
The lane keeping system has different
settings that you can view or adjust using
the information display.
The system stores the last known selection
for each of these settings. You do not need
to readjust your settings each time you
switch on the system.
