STARTING AND OPERATING91
NOTE:
Even if the power steering assistance is no
longer operational, it is still possible to steer the
vehicle. Under these conditions there will be a
substantial increase in steering effort, espe -
cially at low speeds and during parking maneu -
vers.
If the condition persists, see an authorized
dealer for service.
STOP/START SYSTEM
The Stop/Start function was developed to reduce
fuel consumption. The system will stop the engine
automatically during a vehicle stop if the required
conditions are met. Releasing the brake pedal or
pressing the accelerator pedal will automatically
restart the engine.
AUTOMATIC MODE
The Stop/Start feature is enabled after every
normal customer engine start. At that time, the
system will go into STOP/START READY and if all
other conditions are met, can go into a STOP/
START AUTOSTOP ACTIVE “Autostop” mode. To Activate The Autostop Mode, The Following
Must Occur:
The system must be in STOP/START READY
state. A STOP/START READY message will be
displayed in the instrument cluster display
within the Stop/Start section Ú
page 64.
The vehicle must be completely stopped.
The gear selector must be in a forward gear and
the brake pedal pressed.
The engine will shut down, the tachometer will
move to the zero position and the Stop/Start
telltale will illuminate indicating you are in
Autostop. Customer settings will be maintained
upon return to an engine running condition.
POSSIBLE REASONS THE ENGINE DOES
N
OT AUTOSTOP
Prior to engine shut down, the system will check
many safety and comfort conditions to see if they
are fulfilled. Detailed information about the
operation of the Stop/Start system may be viewed
in the instrument cluster display Stop/Start
Screen. In the following situations the engine will
not stop:
Driver’s seat belt is not buckled.
Driver’s door is not closed.
Battery temperature is too warm or cold.
Battery charge is low.
The vehicle is on a steep grade.
Cabin heating or cooling is in process and an
acceptable cabin temperature has not been
achieved.
HVAC is set to full defrost mode at a high blower
speed.
HVAC set to MAX A/C.
Engine has not reached normal operating
temperature.
The transmission is not in a forward gear.
Hood is open.
Vehicle is in 4WD Low transfer case mode (if
equipped with 4WD).
Brake pedal is not pressed with sufficient pres -
sure with vehicle in DRIVE position.
Accelerator pedal input.
Engine temp is too high.
5 mph (8 km/h) threshold not achieved from
previous AUTOSTOP.
Steering angle is beyond threshold.

102STARTING AND OPERATING
LANE CHANGING
ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is completely
in the lane in which you are traveling. In the lane
changing example below, ACC has not yet detected
the vehicle changing lanes and it may not detect
the vehicle until it's too late for the ACC system to
take action. ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is
completely in the lane. There may not be sufficient
distance to the lane-changing vehicle. Always be
attentive and ready to apply the brakes if
necessary.

Lane Changing Example

NARROW VEHICLES
Some narrow vehicles traveling near the outer
edges of the lane or edging into the lane are not
detected until they have moved fully into the lane.
There may not be sufficient distance to the vehicle
ahead.
Narrow Vehicle Example

STATIONARY OBJECTS AND VEHICLES
ACC does not react to stationary objects or
vehicles. For example, ACC will not react in
situations where the vehicle you are following exits
your lane and the vehicle ahead is stopped in your
lane. It will consider this stopped vehicle a
stationary object as it did not previously detect
movement from it. Always be attentive and ready
to apply the brakes if necessary.
Stationary Object And Stationary Vehicle Example

FRONT/REAR PARK ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED
The Park Assist system provides visual and audible
indications of the distance between the rear and/
or front fascia/bumper and a detected obstacle
when backing up or moving forward (e.g. during a
parking maneuver).
For limitations of this system and
recommendations, see Ú
page 106.
Park Assist will retain the last system state
(enabled or disabled) from the last ignition cycle
when the ignition is changed to the ON/RUN
position.
Park Assist is active when the gear selector is
shifted to REVERSE or to a forward gear and an
obstacle is detected, as long as the system is on.
When the gear selector shifted to NEUTRAL (or
PARK in case of automatic gearbox), the system

22_FD_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 102

STARTING AND OPERATING103
becomes inactive. When the vehicle is moving
forward, the system will remain active until the
vehicle speed remains below approximately
11 mph (18 km/h). Reducing the speed
approximately below 9 mph (15 km/h), the system
will come back active. When the vehicle is moving
in REVERSE, the system will remain active as long
as the speed remains below the maximum
operating speed of 7 mph (11 km/h). When the
maximum speed limit is exceeded, the system is
disabled and the Park Assist switch LED will
illuminate. The system will become active again if
the vehicle speed reduces below approximately
6 mph (9 km/h).
PARK ASSIST SENSORS
The four Park Assist sensors, located in the rear
fascia/bumper, monitor the area behind the
vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view. The
sensors can detect obstacles from approximately
12 inches (30 cm) up to 59 inches (150 cm) from
the rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal direction,
depending on the location, type and orientation of
the obstacle. The four Park Assist sensors, located in the front
fascia/bumper (if equipped), monitor the area in
front of the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field
of view. The sensors can detect obstacles from
approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 39 inches
(100 cm) from the front fascia/bumper in the
horizontal direction, depending on the location,
type and orientation of the obstacle.
PARK ASSIST WARNING DISPLAY
The Park Assist Warning screen will only be
displayed if “Sound and Display” is selected from
the Uconnect system Ú page 123.
The Park Assist Warning screen is located within
the instrument cluster display. It provides visual
warnings to indicate the distance between the rear
fascia/bumper and/or front fascia/bumper and
the detected obstacle Ú page 64.
PARK ASSIST DISPLAY
The Park Assist warning screen will be displayed
when an obstacle is detected while the vehicle is in
DRIVE or REVERSE, as long as the vehicle speed is
below 7 mph (11 km/h) when in REVERSE and
below 11 mph (18 km/h) when in DRIVE. When the
vehicle is in REVERSE, the Park Assist warning
screen will always be displayed.
The system will indicate a detected obstacle by
showing a single arc in the left and/or right front or
rear regions based on the object’s distance and
location relative to the vehicle.
If an object is detected in the left and/or right front
or rear region, the display will show a single arc in
the left and/or right front or rear region and the
system will produce a tone. As the vehicle moves
closer to the object, the display will show the single
arc moving closer to the vehicle and the tone will
change from a single 1/2 second tone to slow, to
fast, to continuous.
