light up if a moving vehicle is
detected in the next lane over
in that blind zone or rapidly
approaching that zone. If the
turn signal is activated in the
same direction as a detected
vehicle, this display will flash
as an extra warning not to
change lanes.
LCA can be disabled through
vehicle settings. When you
disable LCA, SBZA is also
disabled. To view available
settings from the infotainment
screen, touch Settings >
Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems. If LCA is disabled by
the driver, the LCA mirror
displays will not light up.
When the System Does
Not Seem to Work
Properly
The LCA system requires
some driving for the system to
calibrate to maximum
performance. This calibration
may occur more quickly if the
vehicle is driving on a straighthighway road with traffic and
roadside objects (e.g.,
guardrails, barriers).
LCA displays may not come on
when passing a vehicle quickly,
for a stopped vehicle, or when
towing a trailer. The LCA
detection zones that extend
back from the side of the
vehicle do not move further
back when a trailer is towed.
Use caution while changing
lanes when towing a trailer.
LCA may alert to objects
attached to the vehicle, such
as a trailer, bicycle, or object
extending out to either side of
the vehicle. Attached objects
may also interfere with the
detection of vehicles. This is
normal system operation; the
vehicle does not need service.
LCA may not always alert the
driver to vehicles in the next
lane over, especially in wet
conditions or when driving on
sharp curves. The system
does not need to be serviced.
The system may light up dueto guardrails, signs, trees,
shrubs, and other non-moving
objects. This is normal system
operation; the vehicle does not
need service.
LCA may not operate when
the LCA sensors in the left or
right corners of the rear
bumper are covered with mud,
dirt, snow, ice, or slush, or in
heavy rainstorms. For cleaning
instructions, see "Washing the
Vehicle" under Exterior Care
0
412. If the DIC still displays
the system unavailable
message after cleaning both
sides of the vehicle toward the
rear corners of the vehicle,
see your dealer.
If the LCA displays do not light
up when moving vehicles are
in the side blind zone or are
rapidly approaching this zone
and the system is clean, the
system may need service.
Take the vehicle to your
dealer.

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(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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.
Ais green if LKA is ready to
assist. LKA may assist by
gently turning the steering
wheel if the vehicle
approaches a detected lane
marking.
Ais amber when
assisting. It may also provide a
Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) alert by flashing
A
amber if the vehicle crosses a
detected lane marking.
Additionally, there may be
three beeps, or the driver seat
may pulse three times, on the
right or left, depending on the
lane departure direction.

Take Steering
The LKA system does not
continuously steer the vehicle.
If LKA does not detect active
driver steering, an alert and
chime may be provided. Steer
the vehicle to dismiss. LKA
may become temporarily
unavailable after repeated
take steering alerts.
When the System Does
Not Seem to Work
Properly
The system performance may
be affected by:
.Close vehicles ahead.
.Sudden lighting changes,
such as when driving
through tunnels.
.Banked roads.
.Roads with poor lane
markings, such as two-lane
roads.If the LKA system is not
functioning properly when lane
markings are clearly visible,
cleaning the windshield
may help.
A camera blocked message
may display if the camera is
blocked. Some driver
assistance systems may have
reduced performance or not
work at all. An LKA or LDW
unavailable message may
display if the systems are
temporarily unavailable. This
message could be due to a
blocked camera. The LKA
system does not need service.
Clean the outside of the
windshield behind the
rearview mirror.
LKA assistance and/or LDW
alerts may occur due to tar
marks, shadows, cracks in the
road, temporary or
construction lane markings,
or other road imperfections. This is normal system
operation; the vehicle does not
need service. Turn LKA off if
these conditions continue.

Control (TSC) feature. Trailer
sway is unintended
side-to-side motion of a trailer
while towing. If the vehicle is
towing a trailer and the TSC
detects that sway is
increasing, the vehicle brakes
are selectively applied at each
wheel, to help reduce
excessive trailer sway.
If equipped with the
Integrated Trailer Brake
Control (ITBC) system, and the
trailer has an electric brake
system, StabiliTrak/ESC may
also apply the trailer brakes.
If TSC is enabled, the Traction
Control System (TCS)/
StabiliTrak/ESC warning light
will flash on the instrument
cluster. Reduce vehicle speed
by gradually removing your
foot from the accelerator.If trailer sway continues,
StabiliTrak/ESC can reduce
engine torque to help slow the
vehicle. TSC will not function if
StabiliTrak/ESC is turned off.
See Traction Control/
Electronic Stability Control

267.
{Warning
Trailer sway can result in a
crash and in serious injury or
death, even if the vehicle is
equipped with TSC.
If the trailer begins to sway,
reduce vehicle speed by
gradually removing your foot
from the accelerator. Then
pull over to check the trailer
and vehicle to help correct
possible causes, including an
improperly or overloaded
trailer, unrestrained cargo,
improper trailer hitch
configuration, or improperly
inflated or incorrect vehicle

or trailer tires. See Towing
Equipment0322 for trailer
ratings and hitch setup
recommendations.
Trailer Tires
Special Trailer (ST) tires differ
from vehicle tires. Trailer tires
are designed with stiff
sidewalls to help prevent sway
and to support heavy loads.
These features can make it
difficult to determine if the
trailer tire pressures are low
only based on a visual
inspection.
Always check all trailer tire
pressures before each trip
when the tires are cool. Low
trailer tire pressure is a
leading cause of trailer tire
blow-outs.
Trailer tires deteriorate over
time. The trailer tire sidewall
will show the week and year
the tire was manufactured.
Many trailer tire

manufacturers recommend
replacing tires more than six
years old.
Overloading is another leading
cause of trailer tire blow-outs.
Never load your trailer with
more weight than the tires are
designed to support. The load
rating is located on the trailer
tire sidewall.
Always know the maximum
speed rating for the trailer
tires before driving. This may
be significantly lower than the
vehicle tire speed rating. The
speed rating may be on the
trailer tire sidewall. If the
speed rating is not shown, the
default trailer tire speed rating
is 105 km/h (65 mph).Conversions and

Washer Fluid
What to Use
When windshield washer fluid
is needed, be sure to read the
manufacturer's instructions
before use. If operating the
vehicle in an area where the
temperature may fall below
freezing, use a fluid that has
sufficient protection against
freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
The appropriate message will
appear in the Driver
Information Center (DIC) when
the fluid level is low.
Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it. Add washer fluid
until the tank is full. See
Engine Compartment
Overview
0331 for reservoir
location.
Caution
.Do not use washer fluid
that contains any type of
water repellent coating.
This can cause the wiper
blades to chatter or skip.
.Do not use engine coolant
(antifreeze) in the
windshield washer. It can
damage the windshield
washer system and paint.
.Do not mix water with
ready-to-use washer fluid.
