INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE
CRUISE CONTROL
HOW DOES INTELLIGENT
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
WORK
Intelligent adaptive cruise control
combines speed sign recognition and
navigation map data 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 284).
Note: The adaptive cruise control gap
setting operates normally when the feature
is enabled.
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.
INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL LIMITATIONS
The speed limit information provided by
the navigation map data could be
inaccurate or out of date.
The system may not detect and read
speed limit signs with conditional
information, for example, when a sign is
flashing, during specific time ranges, or
when children are present.
Note: The system does not set the vehicle
speed to speed limits shown with a
supplementary traffic sign.
Under certain conditions, the system may
not adjust the vehicle speed until after your
vehicle passes the speed limit.

than 20 mph (30 km/h) above or below the
recognized speed.
INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL ALERTS
If you increase the set speed beyond the
speed limit or speed limit plus a positive
tolerance value, the set speed indicator
flashes.
The warning does not occur if:
• You override the set speed using the accelerator pedal.
• The vehicle speed exceeds the set speed due to being on a downhill slope.

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 ice, 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 ablockage warning with no actual block. This happens, for
example, when driving in sparse rural or desert environments.
A false blocked condition either self clears, or clears after you restart your vehicle.
You have selected normal cruise control. The system does not brake or react to traffic.

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
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.

LANE KEEPING SYSTEM – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is the feature not available (lane markings are gray) when I can see the lane markingson the road?
Your vehicle speed is less than 40 mph (65 km/h).
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 interval 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.
Transitioning between no lane markings to lane markings, or vice versa. There is standing water on the road.
Faint lane markings, for example, partial yellow lane markings on concrete roads. Lane width is too narrow or too wide.
You have not calibrated the camera after a windshield replacement. Driving on tight or on uneven roads.

WHAT IS BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM
Blind spot information system detects
vehicles that may have entered the blind
spot zone.
HOW DOES BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM WORK
Blind spot information system uses
sensors on both sides of your vehicle,
detecting rearward from the exterior
mirrors to approximately 13 ft (4 m)
beyond the rear bumper. The detection
area extends to approximately 59 ft (18 m)
beyond the rear bumper when the vehicle
speed is greater than 30 mph (48 km/h)
to alert you of faster approaching vehicles.

SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not use the blind
spot information system as a
replacement for using the interior and
exterior mirrors or looking over your
shoulder before changing lanes. The
blind spot information system is not a
replacement for careful driving.
WARNING: The system may not
operate properly during severe weather
conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy
rain and spray. Always drive with due
care and attention. Failure to take care
may result in a crash.
Note: Blind spot information system does
not prevent contact with other vehicles. It
does not detect parked vehicles,
pedestrians, animals or other infrastructure.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
Blind spot information system does not
operate in park (P) or reverse (R).
The system may not alert you if a vehicle
quickly passes through the detection zone.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Blind spot information system turns on
when all the following occur:
• You start your vehicle.
• You shift into drive (D).
• The vehicle speed is greater than 6 mph (10 km/h).
SWITCHING BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM ON
AND OFF
To switch blind spot information system
on or off, use the touchscreen:

Blind Spot Information System

When you switch blind spot information
system off, a warning lamp illuminates and
a message displays. When you switch the
system on or off, the alert indicators flash
twice.
Note:The system remembers the last
setting when you start your vehicle.
To permanently switch the system off,
contact an authorized dealer.
LOCATING THE BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM
SENSORS
E205199E205199
The sensors are behind the rear bumper
on both sides of your vehicle.
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt.
Note: Do not cover the sensors with bumper
stickers, repair compound or other objects.
Note: Blocked sensors may affect system
accuracy. Note:
Bike and cargo racks could cause
false alerts due to obstruction of the sensor.
We recommend switching the feature off
when using a bike or cargo rack.
If the sensors become blocked, a message
may appear in the information display. The
alert indicators remain illuminated but the
system does not alert you.
