PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
This system is a proactive system. It has
the ability to anticipate wheel slip and
transfer torque to the front wheels before
slip occurs. Even when wheel slip is not
present, the system is continuously
adjusting to the torque distribution, in an
attempt to improve straight line and
cornering behavior, both on and off road.
The system automatically turns on every
time you switch the ignition on.
If any component requires maintenance,
a message appears in the information
display.
USING FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
An image appears in the information
display to advise you of the power
distribution between the front and rear
wheels. The more the area is filled, the
more power is being distributed to that
wheel.
Note:
Four-wheel drive is also called 4WD
and 4x4. Note:
Do not use the four-wheel drive lock,
the rear differential lock or off-road
selectable drive modes on dry, hard
surfaced roads. Doing so can produce
excessive noise, increase tire wear and may
damage drive components. These features
are only intended for consistently slippery
or loose surfaces. Operating your vehicle
outside of these conditions could subject
the vehicle to excessive stress, which may
result in damage not covered under your
warranty. See G.O.A.T. Mode Control
(page 232).
Note: When a system malfunction is
present, a warning message appears in the
information display. See
Information
Messages (page 107). This means the
system is not properly functioning and has
defaulted to front-wheel drive. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Note: A message appears in the
information display if the system overheats
and switches to front-wheel drive. This
condition could occur if you operate your
vehicle in extreme high-load conditions or
with excessive wheel slip, for example deep
sand. To resume four-wheel drive function
as soon as possible, stop your vehicle in a
safe location and switch the ignition off for
a minimum of 10 minutes. After the system
cools, normal four-wheel drive functionality
resumes.
Note: If a warning message appears in the
information display when using the spare
tire, it turns off after reinstalling the repaired
or replaced road tire and you perform a key
cycle.
Note: It is recommended that you reinstall
the repaired tire or replace the tire as soon
as possible. Major dissimilar tire sizes could
cause system damage or default the system
to front-wheel drive.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING: To help avoid personal
injury, always use caution when in
reverse (R) and when using the sensing
system. WARNING:
The system may not
detect objects with surfaces that absorb
reflection. Always drive with due care
and attention. Failure to take care may
result in a crash. WARNING: Traffic control systems,
fluorescent lamps, inclement weather,
air brakes, external motors and fans may
affect the correct operation of the
sensing system. This may cause reduced
performance or false alerts. WARNING:
The system may not
detect small or moving objects,
particularly those close to the ground. WARNING:
If damage occurs in the
immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. WARNING:
The parking aid system
can only assist you to detect objects
when your vehicle is moving at parking
speeds. To help avoid personal injury you
must take care when using the parking
aid system. 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
function if the sensor is blocked. Note:
If your vehicle has MyKey ™, the
sensing system cannot be switched off
when a MyKey ™ is present.
See Principle
of Operation (page 63).
Note: Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to
the bumper or fascia and you leave it
misaligned or bent, the sensing zone could
be altered causing inaccurate measurement
of obstacles or false alerts.
Note: Add-on devices such as large trailer
hitches, bike or surfboard racks, license plate
brackets, or bumper covers installed around
the bumper or facia can block the normal
detection zone of the system causing false
alerts. Remove the add-on devices to
prevent false alerts.
Note: When you connect a trailer to your
vehicle, the rear parking aid could detect the
trailer and therefore provide an alert. Disable
the rear parking aid when you connect a
trailer to prevent the alert.
The sensing system warns you of obstacles
within a certain range of your vehicle. The
system turns on when you switch the
ignition on.
You can switch the system off through the
information display menu or from the
pop-up message that appears once you
shift the transmission into reverse (R). See
General Information
(page 102). If your
vehicle has a parking aid button, you can
switch the system off by pressing the
button. The system turns on when you
switch the ignition on.
If a fault is present in the system, a warning
message appears in the information
display. See
Information Messages
(page 107).

Activating Lane Centering
The system only activates when all of the
following occur:
•
You have adaptive cruise control with
stop-and-go on.
• The vehicle is centered in the lane.
• Your hands are on the steering wheel
at all times.
• The system detects both lane
markings.
Note: If it does not detect valid lane
markings, the system stays inactive until
valid markings are available.
You can override the system at any time
by steering your vehicle.
When the system is active and the
direction indicator is switched on, the
system immediately cancels. The system
remains in standby mode as long as the
direction indicator is engaged. The system
automatically re-activates once the vehicle
is centered in a lane and the direction
indicator is switched off.
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.
System Alerts and Automatic
Cancellation
You must keep your hands on the steering
wheel at all times. When the system is active and detects no
steering activity for a certain 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.
The system also alerts you if your vehicle
crosses lane markings without detected
steering activity.
Note:
The system may detect a light grip
or touch on the steering wheel as hands-off
driving.
When the system cancels due to an
external condition, for example, no lane
markings are available and your hands are
on the steering wheel, a tone sounds and
a message appears in the information
display.
When the system cancels due to an
external condition, for example, no lane
markings are available and your hands are
not on the steering wheel, the system
immediately alerts you to take control of
the vehicle. If you ignore this alert, the
system slows the vehicle while maintaining
steering control. If your vehicle starts to slow
down, you must contribute to
the steering control 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 are crossed.
Note: The system disables until the next
key cycle if your vehicle slows down due to
driver inactivity twice within a key cycle.

When climbing a steep slope or hill, start
in a lower gear rather than downshifting to
a lower gear from a higher gear. This
reduces strain on the engine and the
possibility of stalling.
If your vehicle stalls, do not try to turn
around because this could cause your
vehicle to roll over. It is better to reverse
back to a safe location.
Do not drive over the crest of a hill without
seeing what conditions are on the other
side. Do not drive in reverse over a hill
without the aid of an observer.
If the vehicle is unable to make it up the
hill, do not attempt to turn back down the
slope.
Apply the accelerator just enough for the
wheels to climb the hill.
Note:
Too much acceleration can cause
the tires to slip, spin or lose traction,
resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Descending A Hill:
• Use the same gear you would use to
climb the hill.
• Do not descend in neutral.
• Disengage overdrive.
• Avoid sudden and excessive braking.
Note: The front wheels have to be turning
in order to steer your vehicle.
When descending a steep hill in a manual
transmission vehicle do not leave the
vehicle in gear with the clutch depressed.
This could cause damage to your driveline.
Driving Through Water WARNING: Do not attempt to
cross a deep, fast flowing body of water.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. As the water depth increases, you must
reduce your vehicle speed to avoid
potential vehicle damage.
The key to a safe crossing is the water
depth, current and bottom of the water's
condition. On soft bottoms, the vehicle
sinks in, effectively increasing the water
level on the vehicle. Make sure to consider
this when determining the depth of water.
Determine the depth and speed of the
current before attempting a water crossing.
Be aware that obstacles and debris may
be beneath the water
’s surface.
Note: Cross flowing water at an angle
heading slightly upstream.
Note: You should tread lightly and avoid
damage to the environment.
Drive slowly when crossing water. Proceed
with a constant slow speed lightly pressing
on the accelerator.
Drive through the water very slowly when
entering, then build up momentum. Keep
your vehicle moving at a steady pace.
Note: Do not try to accelerate through the
water crossing.
When driving too fast in water or through
deep water, the engine, transmission,
transfer case, axles, electrical components
or vehicle interior could ingest water. Water
can cause permanent damage that your
vehicle warranty may not cover. See
Driving Through Water Limitations
(page
256).
Note: Failure to follow the recommended
speeds can result in vehicle damage.
Never stop or shut a vehicle off when
crossing deep water unless your vehicle
ingested water into the engine air intake.
If the engine stalls, do not attempt to
restart it.
