WARNING: The system only warnsof vehicles detected by the radar andcamera sensors. In some cases theremay be no warning or a delayed warning.Apply the brakes when necessary. Failureto follow this instruction could result inpersonal injury or death.
WARNING: The system may notdetect stationary or slow movingvehicles below 6 mph (10 km/h).
WARNING: The system does notdetect pedestrians or objects in the road.
WARNING: The system does notdetect oncoming vehicles in the samelane.
WARNING: The system may notoperate properly if the sensor is blocked.Keep the windshield free fromobstruction.
WARNING: The sensor mayincorrectly track lane markings as otherstructures or objects. This can result ina false or missed warning.
The camera is mounted on the windshieldbehind the interior mirror.
The radar sensor is in the lower grille.
Note:You cannot see the sensor. It isbehind a fascia panel.
Note:Keep the front of your vehicle free ofdirt, metal badges or objects. Vehicle frontprotectors, aftermarket lights, additionalpaint or plastic coatings could also degradesensor performance.
A message displays if something obstructsthe camera or the sensor. When somethingblocks the sensor, the system cannotdetect a vehicle ahead and does notfunction. See Adaptive Cruise Control– Information Messages (page 221).
The radar sensor has a limited field ofview. It may not detect vehicles at all ordetect a vehicle later than expected insome situations. The lead vehicle imagedoes not illuminate if the system does notdetect a vehicle in front of you.

Detection issues can occur:
When driving on a different linethan the vehicle in front.A
With vehicles that edge into yourlane. The system can only detectthese vehicles once they movefully into your lane.
B
There may be issues with thedetection of vehicles in frontwhen driving into and coming outof a bend or curve in the road.
C
In these cases, the system may brake lateor unexpectedly.
If something hits the front end of yourvehicle or damage occurs, theradar-sensing zone could change. Thiscould result in a missed or false vehicledetection.
Optimal system performance requires aclear view of the road by thewindshield-mounted camera.
Optimal performance may not occur if:
•The camera is blocked.
•There is poor visibility or lightingconditions.
•There are bad weather conditions.
Lane Centering Limitations
Adaptive cruise control limitations applyto lane centering unless stated otherwiseor contradicted by a lane centeringlimitation.
Lane Centering may not correctly operatein any of the following conditions:
•Your vehicle is not centered in the lane.
•The lane is too narrow or wide.
•The system does not detect at leastone lane marking or when lanes mergeor split.
•You switch the direction indicator on.
•Limited steering torque input is applied.
•Areas under construction or newinfrastructure.
•When modifications to the steeringsystem have been made.
•When using a spare tire.
Note:The assistance steering torque islimited and may not be sufficient for alldriving situations such as driving throughtight curves or driving through curves at highspeeds.
Note:In exceptional conditions, the systemmay deviate from the center line.

Alert + Aid – Provides steering assistancetoward the lane center.
If your vehicle continues drifting out of thelane after the lane keeping aid corrects thevehicle, the system provides a steeringwheel vibration.
If your vehicle stays to one side of the laneafter the lane keeping aid corrects yourvehicle and then subsequently drifts outof the lane again, the system only providesan alert at the steering wheel.
Note:The alert and aid diagrams illustrategeneral zone coverage. They do not provideexact zone parameters.

System Display
When you switch the system on, an imageof lane markings appears in theinformation display.
When you switch the system off, the lanemarking images do not display.
While the system is on, the color of thelane markings change to indicate thesystem status. These colors represent thefollowing:
Gray: Indicates that the system istemporarily unable to provide a warningor intervention on the indicated side. Thismay be because:
•Your vehicle is under the activationspeed.
•The direction indicator is active.
•Your vehicle is in a dynamic maneuver.
•The road has no or poor lane markingsin the camera field-of-view.
•The camera is obscured or unable todetect the lane markings due toenvironmental, traffic or vehicleconditions. For example, significant sunangles, shadows, snow, heavy rain orfog, following a large vehicle that isblocking or shadowing the lane or poorheadlamp illumination.

White: Indicates that the system isavailable or ready to provide a warning orintervention on the indicated side.
Note:If your vehicle has lane centeringassist and the system is active, the wallsappear green instead of white.
Yellow: Indicates that the system isproviding or has just provided a lanekeeping aid intervention.
Red: Indicates that the system is providingor has just provided a lane keeping alertwarning.
The system can be temporarily suppressedat any time by the following:

Troubleshooting
Why is the feature not available, line markings are gray, when I can see the lane markingson the road?
Your vehicle speed is outside the operational range of the feature.
The sun is shining directly into the camera lens.
A quick intentional lane change has occurred.
Your vehicle stays too close to the lane markings.
Driving at high speeds in curves.
The last alert warning or aid intervention occurred a short time ago.
Ambiguous lane markings, for example in construction zones.
Rapid transition from light to dark, or from dark to light.
Sudden offset in lane markings.
ABS or AdvanceTrac™ is active.
There is a camera blockage due to dirt, grime, fog, frost or water on the windshield.
You are driving too close to the vehicle in front of you.
Transitioning between no lane markings to lane markings or vice versa.
There is standing water on the road.
Faint lane markings, for example partial yellow lane markings on concrete roads.
