LANE KEEPING SYSTEM – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is the feature not available (lane markings are gray) when I can see the lane markings
on 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 PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST
Pre-collision assist detects and warns of
approaching hazards in the roadway. The
system provides multiple levels of
assistance to help avoid a collision if your
vehicle is rapidly approaching another
stationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in the
same direction as yours, or a pedestrian or
cyclist within your driving path.
HOW DOES PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST WORK
The system warns the driver of potential
hazards by providing three levels of
assistance.
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
potential hazards the system provides the
following levels of functionality:
1. Alert.
2. Brake Support.
3. Automatic Emergency Braking.
Alert: When active, a flashing
visual warning appears and an
audible warning tone sounds.
Brake Support
: The system is designed
to help reduce the impact speed by
preparing the brakes for rapid braking. The
system does not automatically apply the
brakes. If you press the brake pedal, the
system could apply additional braking up
to maximum braking force, even if you
lightly press the brake pedal.
Automatic Emergency Braking
:
Automatic emergency braking may
activate if the system determines that a
collision is imminent. Note:
If you perceive pre-collision assist
alerts as being too frequent or disturbing,
then you can reduce the alert sensitivity,
although the manufacturer recommends
using the highest sensitivity setting where
possible. Setting lower sensitivity would
lead to fewer and later system warnings.
Each system has various levels of
detection capabilities. See Pre-Collision
Assist Limitations
(page 376).
PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
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 does not
detect vehicles moving in a different
direction or animals. Apply the brakes
when necessary. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death. WARNING:
The system does not
operate during hard acceleration or
steering. Failure to take care may lead
to a crash or personal injury. WARNING: The system may fail or
operate with reduced function during
cold and severe weather conditions.
Snow, ice, rain, spray and fog can
adversely affect the system. Keep the
front camera and radar free of snow and
ice. Failure to take care may result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death.

WARNING: Take additional care if
your vehicle is heavily loaded or you are
towing a trailer. These conditions could
result in reduced performance of this
system. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death. WARNING:
The system cannot
help prevent all crashes. Do not rely on
this system to replace driver judgment
and the need to maintain a safe distance
and speed. WARNING:
In situations where the
vehicle camera has limited detection
capability, this may reduce system
performance. These situations include
but are not limited to direct or low
sunlight, vehicles at night without tail
lights, unconventional vehicle types,
pedestrians with complex backgrounds,
running pedestrians, partly obscured
pedestrians, or pedestrians that the
system cannot distinguish from a group.
Failure to take care may result in the loss
of control of your vehicle, serious
personal injury or death.
PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
LIMITATIONS
Pre-collision assist depends on the
detection ability of its camera and sensors.
Any obstructions or damage to these areas
can limit detection or prevent the system
from functioning. See
Locating the
Pre-Collision Assist Sensors (page 378).
The system is active at speeds above
3 mph (5 km/h)
. Note:
The pre-collision assist system
automatically disables when you select
four-wheel drive low, manually disable
AdvanceTrac ™, or select rock crawl mode,
if your vehicle comes with it.
Note: Brake support and automatic
emergency braking are active at speeds up
to 80 mph (130 km/h). If your vehicle has a
radar sensor included with adaptive cruise
control, then brake support and automatic
emergency braking are active up to the
maximum speed of your vehicle.
Pedestrian Detection Limitations
Pedestrian detection is active at speeds
up to
50 mph (80 km/h).
Pedestrian detection operates optimally
when detected hazards are clearly
identifiable. System performance may
reduce in situations where pedestrians are
running, partly obscured, have a complex
background, or when the system cannot
distinguish pedestrians from a group.
Cyclist Detection Limitations
Cyclist detection is active at speeds up to
50 mph (80 km/h)
.
Cyclist detection functions optimally when
detected hazards are clearly identifiable.
System performance may reduce in
situations where cyclists are fast-moving,
partly obscured, have a complex
background, or cannot be distinguished
from a group.
Intersection Assist
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle comes with a radar sensor
included in adaptive cruise control, the
pre-collision assist system may operate in
a scenario where you are turning across an
oncoming vehicle's path. Detection of
vehicles driving in an oncoming direction
is active if your vehicle is driving at speeds
up to
19 mph (30 km/h).

Note: Proper system operation requires a
clear view of the road by the camera. Have
any windshield damage in the area of the
camera's field of view repaired.
Note: If your vehicle detects excessive heat
at the camera or a potential misalignment
condition, a message could display in the

WHAT IS DRIVER ALERT
Driver alert alerts you if it determines that
you are becoming drowsy or if your driving
deteriorates.
HOW DOES DRIVER ALERT
WORK
Driver Alert calculates your alertness level
based on your driving behavior in relation
to the lane markings and other factors
through use of the front camera sensor
behind the interior mirror.
DRIVER ALERT 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: Take regular rest
breaks if you feel tired. Do not wait for
the system to warn you. WARNING:
Certain driving styles
may result in the system warning you
even if you are not feeling tired. WARNING:
In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all
limit sensor performance. WARNING:
The system will not
operate if the sensor cannot track the
road lane markings. 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:
The system may not
operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from
obstruction.
Note: If something is blocking the camera
or damaged the windshield, Driver Alert may
not function.
DRIVER ALERT LIMITATIONS
Driver alert may not function correctly if:
• The sensor cannot track the road lane
markings.
• Your vehicle's speed is less than
approximately
40 mph (65 km/h).
