Supplemental information may be displayed along
with a newly detected speed limit indicating
special circumstances the driver should be aware
of. Available supplemental information includes:
School
Construction
Rain
Snow
Fog
Speed Limit Exceeded
When the vehicle’s speed exceeds the displayed
speed limit by 3 mph (5 km/h), the speed limit sign
on the instrument cluster display will show a red
outline to alert the driver.
ACTIVE DRIVING ASSIST SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
OPERATION
The Active Driving Assist (ADA) system is combined
with the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system, and
centers the vehicle in the driving lane while
traveling at speeds up to 93 mph (150 km/h).
Just like ACC, ADA will maintain a set speed as long
as the set distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front is maintained. ADA will also keep
your vehicle centered between the lane lines, and
monitor for other vehicles in adjacent lanes.
ADA uses sensors within the steering wheel to
monitor driver attentiveness. ADA requires the
driver’s hands on the steering wheel at all times.
1 — Current Speed Limit With Supplemental
Information (School Zone)
2 — No Passing Zone Detected
3 — Next Speed Limit Detected
WARNING!
To prevent serious injury or death:
Always remain alert and be ready to take
control of the vehicle in the event that the
Active Driving Assist system disables.
Always keep your hands on the steering wheel
when the Active Driving Assist system is acti
-
vated.
Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles
and pay attention to traffic conditions.
Do not place any objects on the steering wheel
(e.g. steering wheel covers) which could inter -
fere with the hand detection sensors.

STARTING AND OPERATING95
If driver attention is not returned, the system will
deactivate.
Active Driving Assist Indicators Are Off
ADA is not turned on/enabled by the driver.
Active Driving Assist Indicators Are Grey
ADA is turned on/enabled by the driver, but the
system is not actively providing steering to the
vehicle.
Active Driving Assist Indicators Are Green
System is actively steering the vehicle and the
system detects driver is attentive.
Active Driving Assist Indicators Are Yellow
Driver inattentiveness has been detected,
warning the driver to place hands on the
steering wheel.
Active Driving Assist Indicators Are Red
Driver inattentiveness is still being detected,
warning the driver to place hands on the
steering wheel.
NOTE:The driver MUST replace hands on the steering
wheel and take control of the vehicle when the
system is deactivated.
Active Driving Assist Cancelled Message

MINIMUM RISK MANEUVER
If the driver removes the hands from the steering
wheel, a counter will start in order to display and
activate visual and acoustic alerts. When the
hands absence is detected the system will start
Minimum Risk Maneuver for bringing the vehicle in
a safe position.
After 23 seconds from the absence of the hands
on the steering wheel, the Adaptive System Cruise
Control will apply a brake jerk to warn the driver to
take vehicle control. If, after another 3 seconds the
driver does not take the control of the vehicle, the
system will apply a second brake jerk.Subsequently, if the absence of hands on the
steering wheel persists, the system will apply an
automatic braking intervention to bring the vehicle
to the stop. As soon as the standstill condition is
reached, the hazard emergency lights will be
activated. Then, the system will unlock the doors
(if previously locked). If the driver will take the
control of the vehicle during the Minimum Risk
Maneuver by placing the hands on the steering
wheel or pressing the pedal throttle, the system
will behave normally and the Minimum Risk
Maneuver will be stopped.
SYSTEM STATUS

Along with changes in the system’s indicator lights
(green, yellow, and red), the system can also issue a
steering wheel vibration to accompany these warnings.
The vibration warning (if enabled) will occur if the
vehicle crosses a lane marker, for example, when
driving on a tight curve. This feature can be turned on
or off within the Uconnect system

116STARTING AND OPERATING
Automatic Transmission

The DRIVE range can be selected when towing.
The transmission controls include a drive strategy to
avoid frequent shifting when towing. However, if
frequent shifting does occur while in DRIVE, select
TOW/HAUL mode or select a lower gear range (using
the Electronic Range Select (ERS) shift control).

NOTE:Using TOW/HAUL mode or selecting a lower gear
range (using the ERS shift control) while operating
the vehicle under heavy loading conditions will
improve performance and extend transmission life
by reducing excessive shifting and heat buildup.
This action will also provide better engine braking. When towing a loaded trailer up steep grades at
low speeds, holding your vehicle in FIRST gear
(using the ERS shift control) can help to avoid
transmission overheating.
Tow/Haul Mode
To reduce potential for automatic transmission
overheating, activate TOW/HAUL mode when
driving in hilly areas, or select a lower gear range
(using the Electronic Range Select (ERS) shift
control) on more severe grades.
Cruise Control — If Equipped
Do not use on hilly terrain or with heavy loads.
When using the Cruise Control, if you experience
speed drops greater than 10 mph (16 km/h),
disengage until you can get back to cruising
speed.
Use Cruise Control in flat terrain and with light
loads to maximize fuel efficiency.
