STARTING AND OPERATING103
System Deactivation
The system will be deactivated in any of the following
situations:
If the system has detected driver inattentiveness, and
has gone through all escalation warnings after hands
are no longer detected on the steering wheel
 If the vehicle is driving in constant traffic
 If lane markings are no longer detected
 If the brake pedal is pressed or ACC system is deacti -
vated
 If the Active Driving Assist on/off button is pushed
again (ADA will turn off)
 If a turn signal is used (unless a target is in the blind
spot zone on the same side the turn signal is being
applied)
 If the driver applies enough input to the steering wheel
 If the driver’s seat belt is released
 If the vehicle speed exceeds 93 mph (150 km/h)
 If the Active Driving Assist on/off button is pushed
again (ADA will turn off)
 If the Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
becomes active and is providing warnings/braking
 If there is glare from the sun on the vehicle’s camera
 If the vehicle is driving on tight curves 
If the camera has decreased visibility due to rain,
snow, etc.
 If the driver quickly applies the accelerator pedal
NOTE:
Pushing the Active Driving Assist on/off button or deac -
tivating ACC will turn the system off. All other deactiva -
tion conditions will place the system back into the
“enabled” state with the steering wheel indicator
displayed in white until all engagement conditions are
met again.
 When the system is deactivated, the system status
indicator lights will turn off, the LaneSense system will
return to its previous state, and ACC will disable.
INDICATIONS ON THE DISPLAY
The Active Driving Assist system status can always be
viewed in the instrument cluster display, and status
changes are shown by changes in color of the system’s
indicator lights.
As the system detects driver inattentiveness as previously
described
Úpage 101, the system status indicator lights
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.

124STARTING AND OPERATING
Towing Requirements — Tires
Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact
spare tire.
 Do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h) when towing
while using a full size spare tire.
 Proper tire inflation pressures are essential to the safe
and satisfactory operation of your vehicle.
 Check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation pressures
before trailer usage.
 Check for signs of tire wear or visible tire damage
before towing a trailer.
 Replacing tires with a higher load carrying capacity will
not increase the vehicle's GVWR and GAWR limits.
 For further information
Úpage 246.
Towing Requirements — Trailer Brakes
Do not interconnect the hydraulic brake system or
vacuum system of your vehicle with that of the trailer.
This could cause inadequate braking and possible
personal injury.
 An electronically actuated trailer brake controller is
required when towing a trailer with electronically
actuated brakes. When towing a trailer equipped with
a hydraulic surge actuated brake system, an electronic
brake controller is not required. 
Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers over
1,000 lb (453 kg) and required for trailers in excess of
1,543 lb (700 kg).
Towing Requirements — Trailer Lights And
Wiring
Whenever you pull a trailer, regardless of the trailer size,
stoplights and turn signals on the trailer are required for
motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include a four- and seven-pin
wiring harness. Use a factory-approved trailer harness and
connector.
NOTE:Do not cut or splice wiring into the vehicle’s wiring
harness.
The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle
but you must mate the harness to a trailer connector.
Refer to the following illustrations.
NOTE:
Disconnect the trailer wiring connector from the vehicle
(or any other device plugged into vehicle’s electrical
connectors) before launching a boat into water.
 Be sure to reconnect once clear from water area.
WARNING!
Do not connect trailer brakes to your vehicle's
hydraulic brake lines. It can overload your brake
system and cause it to fail. You might not have
brakes when you need them and could have an
accident.
 Towing any trailer will increase your stopping
distance. When towing, you should allow for
additional space between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you. Failure to do so could result
in an accident.
CAUTION!
If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lb (453 kg)
loaded, it should have its own brakes and they should
be of adequate capacity. Failure to do this could lead to
accelerated brake lining wear, higher brake pedal
effort, and longer stopping distances.
