parking spot or, if available,
change the parking mode in
the infotainment display.
APA cannot park in all empty
parking spots. The parking
spot must:
.Be sufficiently large to fit the
vehicle comfortably.
.Have an adjacent vehicle,
wall, or pillar for the system
to align to.
After completely passing an
eligible parking spot, a beep
sounds and a red stop symbol
is displayed in the driver
information center. Generally,
APA selects the nearest
empty parking spot behind the
vehicle, but under some
conditions may select a spacethat is further back. Slow
down and bring the vehicle to
a complete stop to begin.
Follow the displayed
instructions. When instructed
to drive in reverse, shift to
R (Reverse) while holding the
brakes. The steering wheel will
vibrate briefly as a reminder to
remove hands from the
steering wheel. After the
vibration stops, check your
surroundings and release the
brakes to begin automatic
parking. As the vehicle
automatically steers, and
brakes into the parking spot,
check surroundings and
continue to apply acceleration
if necessary and shift gears as
needed. Be prepared to stop
to avoid vehicles, pedestrians,
or objects.
A progress arrow displays the
status of the parking
maneuver. Once automatic
parking is finished and the
vehicle has come to a full stop,
APA will beep and display a

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)
0144. The minimum
following time is 0.5 seconds
away. If there is no vehicle
detected ahead, or the vehicle
ahead is out of sensor range,
dashes will be displayed.
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)
The AEB system 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

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 due
to 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
0440. 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.

Lane Keep
Assist (LKA)
If equipped, LKA may help
avoid crashes due to
unintentional lane departures.
This system uses a camera to
detect lane markings. The LKA
can be ready to assist at
speeds between 60 km/h
(37 mph) and 180 km/h
(112 mph). On some vehicles, the system will instead
operate above 50 km/h
(31 mph). LKA may assist by
gently turning the steering
wheel if the vehicle
approaches a detected lane
marking. It may also provide a
Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) alert if the vehicle
crosses a detected lane
marking. This system is not
intended to keep the vehicle
centered in the lane. LKA will
not assist and alert if the turn
signal is active in the direction
of lane departure, or if it
detects that you are
accelerating, braking or
actively steering. LKA can be
overridden by turning the
steering wheel. If the system
detects you are steering
intentionally across a lane
marker, the LDW may not be
given. Do not expect the LDW
to occur when you are
intentionally crossing a lane
marker.

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,
