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 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 BLUECRUISE
BlueCruise keeps your vehicle centered in
the lane and offers a hands-free driving
mode in certain situations when using
adaptive cruise control.
HOW DOES BLUECRUISE
WORK
BlueCruise uses cameras to monitor your
vehicle position within a lane and applies
steering support to keep your vehicle
centered in the lane.
Using the cameras and location
information, BlueCruise allows you to
remove your hands from the steering wheel
and offers a hands-free driving mode in
certain areas.
When active, BlueCruise uses a driver
facing camera and infrared lighting to
monitor your eyes and head position to
detect if you are distracted. If the system
determines you are distracted, it alerts you
to return your eyes to the road.

Note: When BlueCruise is active, in certain
crash or near crash-like situations, such as
an air bag deployment or hitting a road
obstacle, camera data may record through
the vehicle event data recorder. See Event
Data (page 28). Note:
No data records under normal driving
conditions.

WARNING: Do not use the system
if any changes or modifications to the
steering wheel have been made. Any
changes or modifications to the steering
wheel could affect the functionality or
performance of the system. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
The system may not
function if the sensor is blocked. WARNING:
Pay close attention to
changing road conditions such as
entering or leaving a highway, on roads
with intersections or roundabouts, roads
without visible lanes of travel, roads that
are winding, slippery, unpaved, or steep
slopes. WARNING:
The system is not a
crash warning or avoidance system. WARNING:
Large contrasts in
outside lighting can limit sensor
performance. WARNING:
The system attempts
to keep your vehicle in the center of the
lane as well as maintain speed and gap
control. The system may not be able to
perform these tasks in all situations. Do
not use the system in complex or
uncertain driving conditions. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING: Your vehicle could drift
out of the lane of travel. Always be
prepared to manually steer your vehicle.
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.

BLUECRUISE ALERTS
When BlueCruise is providing hands-on
driving or transitioning to hands-on driving
from hands-free driving and detects no
steering activity for a certain period of time,
the system alerts you with a message in
the instrument cluster to put your hands
on the steering wheel. After the first alert,
the system alerts you with a message in
the instrument cluster and an audible
warning.
When BlueCruise is providing hands-on or
hands-free driving and detects you are not
looking at the road for a certain period of
time, the system alerts you to return your
eyes to the road. Depending on where you
are looking, the alert can be a message in
the instrument cluster and an audible
warning.
If you do not react to the warnings,
BlueCruise cancels, quickly activates and
releases the brakes, and slows your vehicle
down to low speeds while maintaining
steering control.
If your vehicle slows down and you resume
control, a message appears to prompt you
to press the accelerator pedal to allow the
system to resume.
Note:
If the system detects repeated
inactivity, it disables until the next key cycle.
BLUECRUISE AUTOMATIC
CANCELLATION
When an external condition cancels
BlueCruise, for example, no lane markings
available, a tone sounds and a message
appears in the instrument cluster. If your vehicle starts to slow
down, you must take control of
steering and press and release
the button to reactivate BlueCruise. System cancellation can also occur if:
•
The lane becomes too narrow.
• The system cannot detect valid lane
markings.
• Lane markings cross.
• Your eyes are not on the road or your
hands are not the steering wheel.
If you have your hands on the steering
wheel and your eyes are on the road when
the feature is active and a cancellation
occurs, the system sounds a tone and
displays a cancelled graphic in the
instrument cluster.
If you are not paying attention to the road
or your hands are not on the steering wheel
and a cancellation occurs, the system
displays a message and a tone sounds until
you resume control. If you do not resume
control in time, BlueCruise quickly activates
and releases the brakes, and slows your
vehicle down to low speeds while
maintaining steering control. If your vehicle
slows down and you resume control, a
message appears to prompt you to press
the accelerator pedal to allow the system
to resume.
Note: The system disables until the next
key cycle if it detects repeated inactivity.
BLUECRUISE INDICATORS When on, the color of the
indicator changes to indicate the
status.
Gray indicates BlueCruise is on but inactive.
Green indicates BlueCruise is active and
applying continuous steering support.
Blue indicates BlueCruise is active and
hands-free driving mode is available.

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.
Note: When you select Aid or Alert and Aid
mode and the system detects no steering
activity for a short period of time, the system
alerts you to put your hands on the steering
wheel. The system may detect a light grip
or touch on the steering wheel as hands-off
driving.
