The Transparent Trailer calibration may take
longer than expected or not calibrate if:
.The vehicle is driven too fast during
calibration. Speed should be maintained
below 50 km/h (31 mph).
.The vehicle is not driven straight during
calibration. Steering should be maintained
as straight as possible, excessive steering
during calibration may extend
calibration time.
.The calibration is attempted in low light.
Calibration should be attempted when
there is enough light.
.The calibration is attempted during
adverse weather conditions. Calibration
during conditions such as snow or heavy
rain should be avoided.
.The road surface is not ideal for
calibration. Calibration should be
attempted on an alternate road surface.
.The accessory trailer cameras are
swapped at the hitch connector. Ensure
that the camera mounted to the rear of
the trailer is connected to the rear trailer
camera input.

292 Driving and Operating
The instrument cluster may have a Park
Assist display with bars that show“distance
to object” and object location information
for the Front and Rear Park Assist system.
As the object gets closer, more bars light up
and the bars change color from yellow to
amber to red.
When an object is first detected around the
vehicle, one beep will be heard from the
front or rear (depending on the object's
location), or the driver seat will pulse two
times if equipped with Safety Alert Seat.
When the object is very close to the vehicle,
the beeps will be continuous or the driver
seat will pulse five times. Beeps in the front
are higher pitched than beeps in the rear.
Turning the Features On or Off
PressXon the center stack to turn on or
off the Front and Rear Park Assist. The
indicator light next to the button comes on
when the features are on and turns off
when the features have been disabled.
Front and Rear Park Assist can be turned
Off, On, or On with Towbar. See “Park
Assist” underVehicle Personalization 0137.
If Park Assist is turned off through vehicle
personalization, the Park Assist button will
be disabled. To turn Park Assist on again,
select On in vehicle personalization. The On
with Towbar setting allows Park Assist to
work properly with a trailer hitch. Some
larger trailer hitches may not be compatible.
Turn off Park Assist when towing a trailer.
To turn the RPA symbols on or off, see
“Rear Camera Park Assist Symbols” under
Vehicle Personalization 0137.
Rear Pedestrian Alert
Under certain conditions, this feature can
provide alerts for a pedestrian within the
system’s range directly behind the vehicle.
This feature only works in R (Reverse) below
12 km/h (8 mph), and detects pedestrians up
to 8 m (26 ft) away during daytime driving.
During nighttime driving, feature
performance is very limited.
Rear Pedestrian Alert Indicator
When a pedestrian is detected within the
system’s range directly behind the vehicle,
this symbol flashes amber on the
infotainment display, along with five beeps
from the rear, or if equipped, two pulses
from both sides of the driver seat. When a
pedestrian is detected close to the vehicle,
the symbol flashes red on the infotainment
display, along with ten beeps from the rear,
or if equipped, seven pulses from both sides
of the driver seat.

from the front. When this Collision Alert
occurs, the brake system may prepare for
driver braking to occur more rapidly which
can cause a brief, mild deceleration.
Continue to apply the brake pedal as
needed.
Tailgating Alert
The vehicle ahead indicator will display
amber when you are following a vehicle
ahead much too closely.
Selecting the Alert Timing
The Collision Alert control is on the steering
wheel. Press
[to set the FCA timing to
Far, Medium, or Near. The first button press
shows the current setting on the DIC. Additional button presses will change this
setting. The chosen setting will remain until
it is changed and will affect the timing of
both the Collision Alert and the Tailgating
Alert features. The timing of both alerts will
vary based on vehicle speed. The faster the
vehicle speed, the farther away the alert will
occur. Consider traffic and weather
conditions when selecting the alert timing.
The range of selectable alert timings may
not be appropriate for all drivers and driving
conditions.
If your vehicle is equipped with Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC), changing the FCA
timing setting automatically changes the
following gap setting (Far, Medium,
or Near).
Following Distance Indicator
The following distance to a moving vehicle
ahead in your path is indicated in following
time in seconds on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See
Driver Information Center
(DIC) (Base Level) 0128 or
Driver Information Center (DIC) (Uplevel)
0 130. The minimum following time is
0.5 seconds away.
Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may provide unnecessary alerts for
turning vehicles, vehicles in other lanes,
objects that are not vehicles, or shadows.
These alerts are normal operation and the
vehicle does not need service.
Cleaning the System
If the FCA system does not seem to operate
properly, this may correct the issue:
.Clean the outside of the windshield in
front of the rearview mirror.
.Clean the entire front of the vehicle.
.Clean the headlamps.
Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
If equipped, AEB may help avoid or reduce
the harm caused by front-end crashes. AEB
also includes Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA).
When the system detects a vehicle ahead in
your path that is traveling in the same
direction that you may be about to crash
into, it can provide a boost to braking or
automatically brake the vehicle. This can
help avoid or lessen the severity of crashes
when driving in a forward gear. Depending
on the situation, the vehicle may

{Warning
The LKA system does not continuously
steer the vehicle. It may not keep the
vehicle in the lane or give a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) alert, even if a
lane marking is detected.
The LKA and LDW systems may not:
.Provide an alert or enough steering
assist to avoid a lane departure or
crash.
.Detect lane markings under poor
weather or visibility conditions. This
can occur if the windshield or
headlamps are blocked by dirt, snow,
or ice; if they are not in proper
condition; or if the sun shines directly
into the camera.
.Detect road edges.
.Detect lanes on winding or hilly roads.
If LKA only detects lane markings on one
side of the road, it will only assist or
provide an LDW alert when approaching
the lane on the side where it has
detected a lane marking. Even with LKA
and LDW, you must steer the vehicle. (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Always keep your attention on the road
and maintain proper vehicle position
within the lane, or vehicle damage,
injury, or death could occur. Always keep
the windshield, headlamps, and camera
sensors clean and in good repair. Do not
use LKA in bad weather conditions or on
roads with unclear lane markings, such as
construction zones.
{Warning
Using LKA on slippery roads could cause
loss of control of the vehicle and a crash.
Turn the system off.
{Warning
LKA will not alert the driver if a towed
trailer crosses into an adjacent lane of
travel. Serious injury or property damage
may occur if the trailer moves into
another lane. Always monitor the trailer
position while towing to make sure it is
within the same lane as the tow vehicle.
How the System Works
LKA uses a camera sensor installed on the
windshield ahead of the rearview mirror to
detect lane markings. It may provide brief
steering assist if it detects an unintended
lane departure. It may further provide an
audible alert or the driver seat may pulse
indicating that a lane marking has been
crossed. The system does not provide a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) when
intentionally steering across a lane marker.
To turn LKA on and off, press
Aon the
center stack. If equipped, the indicator light
on the button comes on when LKA is on and
turns off when LKA is disabled. In some
vehicles a long press of over three seconds
is required to turn LKA off.
When on,
Ais white, if equipped,
indicating that the system is not ready to
assist.

steering wheel if the vehicle approaches a
