When the vehicle has reached the desired speed, push
the SET switch up or down briefly, then release. When the
ACC speed is set, the green ACC icon over the set speed
will illuminate in the instrument cluster display.
When the ACC menu screen is not being viewed in the
instrument cluster display, a green triangle will illuminate
on the speedometer at the location of the set speed.
NOTE:If the ACC system is canceled or paused, the triangle on
the speedometer will change to white, indicating the
saved set speed for when the RES button pushed.
Activating Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
The minimum set speed for the ACC system is 19 mph
(30 km/h).
NOTE:You cannot engage ACC under the following conditions:
When the brakes are applied
When the parking brake is applied
When the gear selector is in PARK, REVERSE or
NEUTRAL
When the vehicle speed is below the minimum speed
range
When the brakes are overheated
When the driver’s door is open at low speeds
When the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled at low speeds
When there is a stationary vehicle in front of your
vehicle in close proximity
To Activate/Deactivate
Push and release the Mode button located on the left side
of the steering wheel to activate ACC. Then proceed to
setting the desired speed as described in the next section.
NOTE:Active Speed Limiter will be unavailable while ACC is in
use.
To turn the system off, push and release the Mode button
again. At this time, the system will turn off and Active
Speed Limiter will be active.
The system will also turn off during any of the conditions
listed in “To Turn Off”
Úpage 95.
To Set A Desired Speed
When the vehicle has reached the desired speed, push
the SET switch up or down briefly, then release. The
instrument cluster display will show the set speed.
If ACC is set when the vehicle speed is
below
19 mph
(30 km/h), the set speed will default to 19 mph (30 km/h).
If either system is set when the vehicle speed is above
19 mph (30 km/h), the set speed shall be the current speed of the vehicle.
NOTE:
Keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal can cause
the vehicle to continue to accelerate beyond the set
speed.
If you continue to accelerate beyond the set speed
while ACC is enabled, the system will not be controlling
the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead. The vehicle speed will only be determined by
the position of the accelerator pedal.
WARNING!
Leaving the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system on
when not in use is dangerous. You could accidentally
set the system or cause it to go faster than you want.
You could lose control and have a collision. Always leave
the system off when you are not using it.
WARNING!
If the Active Speed Limiter is active, the system will not
react to vehicles ahead. In addition, the proximity
warning does not activate and no alarm will sound even
if you are too close to the vehicle ahead since neither
the presence of the vehicle ahead nor the
vehicle-to-vehicle distance is detected. Be sure to
maintain a safe distance between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead. Always be aware which mode is
selected.

will change from green, to yellow, to red. The following
indicators will change in color as warnings to the driver
escalate:
Active Driving Assist Indicator (steering wheel icon in
the instrument cluster display)
Glow effect of the instrument cluster display
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 White
ADA is turned on/enabled by the driver, but the system
is not actively steering and providing speed control for
the vehicle.
Active Driving Assist Indicators Are Green
The system detects driver is attentive and is actively
steering and providing speed control for the vehicle.
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, or driver
take-over is being requested, warning the driver to
place hands on the steering wheel. This warning is also
issued when the system has detected a tight curve and
is warning the driver to take control.NOTE:The driver MUST replace hands on the steering wheel and
take control of the vehicle when the system is deactivated.

104STARTING AND OPERATING
MINIMUM RISK MANEUVER
When the vehicle begins the hands-off steering wheel
warning escalation, previously described, the system will
initiate the Minimum Risk Maneuver for bringing the
vehicle to a stop.
After 23 seconds from the initial absence of the hands on
the steering wheel, the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
system 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.
If the absence of hands on the steering wheel persists, the
system will apply automatic braking to bring the vehicle to
the stop and activate the vehicle’s hazard warning lights.
After the vehicle is stopped, the system will unlock the
doors (if previously locked).
NOTE:If the driver takes control of the vehicle during the
Minimum Risk Maneuver by placing hands on the steering
wheel or pressing the accelerator, the system Minimum
Risk Maneuver will be canceled, and the ADA system will
resume normal function.
SYSTEM STATUS
Along with changes in the system’s indicator lights (green,
yellow, and red), the system can also issue several
accompanying warnings intended to provide the driver
with enough time to react, avoid or mitigate a potential
collision.
Two haptic brake jerk warnings will be issued (red
warning light is being issued).
A steering wheel vibration warning (if enabled) will
occur if the vehicle crosses a lane marker, for example,
when driving on a tight curve. The steering wheel vibra -
tion feature can be turned on or off within the Uconnect
system
Úpage 130.
SYSTEM OPERATION/LIMITATIONS
The Active Driving Assist system DOES NOT:
Warn or prevent collisions with other vehicles
Steer your vehicle around stopped vehicles, slower
vehicles, construction equipment, pedestrians, or
animals
Respond to traffic lights or stop signs
Merge onto highways or exit off ramps
Turn your vehicle
Change lanes
React to cross traffic
NOTE:Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a core component of ADA.
For ACC system limitations, see Úpage 92.
The Active Driving Assist system may have limited or
reduced functionality when one of the following conditions
occur:
The vehicle’s radar sensors and/or forward facing
camera is damaged, covered, misaligned, or
obstructed (e.g. by mud, ice, snow, etc.)
If the suspension alignment is not correct, if the vehicle
is modified (e.g. lifting or lowering the suspension,
installing different sized wheels or tires)
Driving near highway toll booths
NOTE:If damage to the windshield occurs, have the windshield
replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
WARNING!
The DDD system is an aid for driving and does not
relieve the driver of the responsibility of driving the
vehicle. If you experience fatigue while driving, pull over
safely for a break without waiting for the DDD warnings.
Only return to the road when you are in the right
physical and mental condition to prevent endangering
yourself and other drivers.
23_GG_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 104

STARTING AND OPERATING113
Construction equipment, large trucks, and other vibra -
tions could affect the performance of ParkSense.
Sensors may detect a nonexistent obstacle (echo
noise) due to mechanical noises, for example while
washing the vehicle or in the case of rain, strong wind,
and hail.
The sensors may not detect objects of a particular
shape or made from particular materials (very thin
poles, trailer beams, panels, nets, bushes, anti-parking
posts, pavements, rubbish bins, motor vehicles, etc.).
Always take great care to check that the vehicle and its
path are actually compatible with the parking place
identified by the system.
The use of wheels and tires that are different size to the
original equipment could affect the operation of the
system.
The operation of the rear sensors is automatically
deactivated when the trailer's electric plug is inserted
in the vehicle's tow hook socket, while the front
sensors stay active and can provide acoustic and
visual warnings. If this situation occurs, Active Park
Assist will not work. The rear sensors are automatically
reactivated when the trailer's cable plug is removed.
In the case of parking maneuvers on roads with
inclines, the performance of the system could be
inferior and it may deactivate.
If a parking maneuver is being carried out between
two parked vehicles alongside a curb, the system may
cause the vehicle to drive up onto the curb.
Some maneuvers at very tight bends might be impos -
sible to be carried out.
Take great care to ensure that conditions do not
change during the parking maneuver (e.g. if there are
persons and/or animals in the parking place, moving
vehicles, etc.) and intervene immediately if necessary.
During parking maneuvers, pay attention to vehicles
approaching from the opposite direction. Always abide
by the law and road regulations.
NOTE:
Correct system operation is not guaranteed if snow
chains or the compact spare tire are fitted.
The function only informs the driver about the last
appropriate parking place (parallel or perpendicular)
detected by the parking sensors.
Some messages displayed are accompanied by
audible warnings.
LANESENSE — IF EQUIPPED
LANESENSE OPERATION
The LaneSense system is operational at speeds above
37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph (180 km/h). The
LaneSense system uses a forward facing camera to detect
lane markings and measure vehicle position within the
lane boundaries. When both lane markings are detected and the driver
unintentionally drifts out of the lane (no turn signal
applied), the LaneSense system provides a haptic warning
in the form of torque applied to the steering wheel to
prompt the driver to remain within the lane boundaries. If
the driver continues to unintentionally drift out of the lane,
the LaneSense system provides a visual warning through
the instrument cluster display to prompt the driver to
remain within the lane boundaries.
The driver may manually override the haptic warning by
applying torque to the steering wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected and the driver
unintentionally drifts across the lane marking (no turn
signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a visual
warning through the instrument cluster display to prompt
the driver to remain within the lane. When only a single
lane marking is detected, a haptic (torque) warning will not
be provided.
NOTE:When operating conditions have been met, the Lane
-
Sense system will monitor if the driver’s hands are on the
steering wheel and provides an audible warning to the
driver when the driver’s hands are not detected on the
steering wheel. The system will cancel if the driver does
not return their hands to the wheel.

LANESENSE WARNING MESSAGE
The LaneSense system will indicate the current lane drift
condition through the instrument cluster display.
When the LaneSense system is on, both lane lines are
gray when both of the lane boundaries have not been
detected. The LaneSense telltale will be white.
System On (Gray Lane Lines)
NOTE:
When the Driver Assist screen is not selected in the
instrument cluster display, the LaneSense status will be
shown as a small icon at the bottom of the speedometer.
The vehicle is represented by a telltale in the shape of a
triangle that will change color along with the lane lines as
the LaneSense status changes. Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected
When the LaneSense system is on, the left lane line will
change from gray to white, and the LaneSense telltale
changes from white to green when only the left lane
marking has been detected and the system is ready to
provide visual warnings in the instrument cluster
display if an unintentional lane departure occurs.
When the LaneSense system senses the lane has been
approached and is in a lane departure situation, the
left lane line changes from white to yellow, and the
LaneSense telltale changes from green to yellow.
Lane Approached (Yellow Lane Line)
NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with similar behavior for
a right lane departure when only the right lane marking
has been detected.
23_GG_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 114

STARTING AND OPERATING115
Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected
When the LaneSense system is on, both lane lines turn
from gray to white to indicate that both of the lane
markings have been detected. The LaneSense telltale
is green when both lane markings have been detected
and the system is armed and ready to provide visual
warnings in the instrument cluster display, and a
torque warning in the steering wheel if an unintentional
lane departure occurs.
Lanes Sensed (White Lane Lines)
When the LaneSense system senses a lane drift situa -
tion, the left lane line turns from white to yellow. The
LaneSense telltale changes from green to yellow. At
this time torque is applied to the steering wheel in the
opposite direction of the lane boundary.
For example: If approaching the left side of the lane,
the steering wheel will turn to the right.
Lane Drift Sensed (Yellow Lane Line)
When the LaneSense system senses the lane has been
approached and is in a lane departure situation, the
yellow left lane line begins to flash. At this time, torque
is applied to the steering wheel in the opposite direc -
tion of the lane boundary.
For example: If approaching the left side of the lane,
the steering wheel will turn to the right.
Lane Approached (Flashing Yellow Lane Line)
NOTE:
The LaneSense system operates with similar behavior for
a right lane departure.
