There are limitations that affect theaccuracy of the speed sign recognitionsystem and its ability to determine thecurrent speed limit. The intelligentadaptive cruise control system and itsability to determine the current speed limitshares these limitations. See Speed SignRecognition (page 341).
Note:The adaptive cruise control gapsetting operates normally when the featureis enabled.

Failureto follow this instruction could result inthe loss of control of your vehicle,personal injury or death.
INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE CRUISECONTROL REQUIREMENTS
Traffic sign recognition must be enabledfor intelligent adaptive cruise control to beactive.
INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE CRUISECONTROL LIMITATIONS
The speed limit information provided bythe navigation map data could beinaccurate or out of date.
The system may not detect and readspeed limit signs with conditionalinformation, for example, when a sign isflashing, during specific time ranges, orwhen children are present.
Note:The system does not set the vehiclespeed to speed limits shown with asupplementary traffic sign.
Under certain conditions, the system maynot adjust the vehicle speed until after yourvehicle passes the speed limit.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
– TROUBLESHOOTING
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL –INFORMATION MESSAGES -VEHICLES WITH: LANECENTERING
Note:Depending on your vehicle optionsand instrument cluster type, somemessages can appear different or not at all.
ActionMessage
You must return your hands to the steering wheel and providesteering input to cancel the message.Keep Hands on SteeringWheel
Lane centering is currently not available, due to conditionsthat prevent the system from becoming active. To reset thesystem, when the vehicle is stationary, return the gear selectorto park (P) and turn the vehicle off. Then, restart the vehiclewith your foot on the brake pedal.
Lane Centering AssistNot Available
Adaptive cruise control with lane centering is about to cancel.You must immediately take full control of the vehicle.Resume Control
Adaptive cruise control with lane centering is in standby mode.When safe to do so, you can resume adaptive cruise controlwith lane centering by applying pressure on the acceleratorpedal. Alternatively, you can also re-enable adaptive cruisecontrol with lane centering by pressing the resume button onthe steering wheel.

WHAT IS BLUECRUISE
BlueCruise keeps your vehicle centered inthe lane and offers a hands-free drivingmode in certain situations when usingadaptive cruise control.
HOW DOES BLUECRUISE
WORK
BlueCruise uses cameras to monitor yourvehicle position within a lane and appliessteering support to keep your vehiclecentered in the lane.
Using the cameras and locationinformation, BlueCruise allows you toremove your hands from the steering wheeland offers a hands-free driving mode incertain areas.
When active, BlueCruise uses a driverfacing camera and infrared lighting tomonitor your eyes and head position todetect if you are distracted. If the systemdetermines you are distracted, it alerts youto return your eyes to the road.
Lighting area.A
Camera.B
Note:When BlueCruise is active, in certaincrash or near crash-like situations, such asan air bag deployment or hitting a roadobstacle, camera data may record throughthe vehicle event data recorder. See EventData (page 27).
Note:No data records under normal drivingconditions.
BLUECRUISE PRECAUTIONS

The driver-facing camera may not operatecorrectly due to any of the following:
•You have a pre-existing eye condition,such as an eye misalignment, or havehad eye surgery.
•You cover your facial features by amask, hat or other items.
•The lighting conditions changesignificantly.
•You are not in the field of view of thecamera.
•You position or tilt yourself to one side.
•You are moving around extensively.
•You are wearing glasses or sunglassesthat are too dark or reflective.
Note:The system has limited steeringassistance and may not be sufficient for alldriving situations.
Note:In exceptional conditions, such asinclement weather or direct sunlight, thesystem could deviate from the center line.

BLUECRUISE ALERTS
When BlueCruise is providing hands-ondriving or transitioning to hands-on drivingfrom hands-free driving and detects nosteering activity for a certain period of time,the system alerts you with a message inthe instrument cluster to put your handson the steering wheel. After the first alert,the system alerts you with a message inthe instrument cluster and an audiblewarning.
When BlueCruise is providing hands-on orhands-free driving and detects you are notlooking at the road for a certain period oftime, the system alerts you to return youreyes to the road. Depending on where youare looking, the alert can be a message inthe instrument cluster and an audiblewarning.
If you do not react to the warnings,BlueCruise cancels, quickly activates andreleases the brakes, and slows your vehicledown to low speeds while maintainingsteering control.
If your vehicle slows down and you resumecontrol, a message appears to prompt youto press the accelerator pedal to allow thesystem to resume.
Note:If the system detects repeatedinactivity, it disables until the next key cycle.
BLUECRUISE AUTOMATIC
CANCELLATION
When an external condition cancelsBlueCruise, for example, no lane markingsavailable, a tone sounds and a messageappears in the instrument cluster.
If your vehicle starts to slowdown, you must take control ofsteering and press and releasethe button to reactivate BlueCruise.
System cancellation can also occur if:
•The lane becomes too narrow.
•The system cannot detect valid lanemarkings.
•Lane markings cross.
•Your eyes are not on the road or yourhands are not on the steering wheel.
If you have your hands on the steeringwheel and your eyes are on the road whenthe feature is active and a cancellationoccurs, the system sounds a tone anddisplays a cancelled graphic in theinstrument cluster.
If you are not paying attention to the roador your hands are not on the steering wheeland a cancellation occurs, the systemdisplays a message and a tone sounds untilyou resume control. If you do not resumecontrol in time, BlueCruise quickly activatesand releases the brakes, and slows yourvehicle to low speeds while maintainingsteering control. If your vehicle slows downand you resume control, a messageappears to prompt you to press theaccelerator pedal to allow the system toresume.
Note:The system disables until the vehicleis turned off and back on if it detectsrepeated inactivity.
BLUECRUISE INDICATORS
When on, the color of theindicator changes to indicate thestatus.
Gray indicates BlueCruise is on but inactive.
Green indicates BlueCruise is active andapplying continuous steering support.
Blue indicates BlueCruise is active andhands-free driving mode is available.

WHAT IS DRIVE MODE
CONTROL
Your vehicle has various drive modes thatyou can select for different drivingconditions. Depending on the drive modethat you select, the system adjusts variousvehicle settings.
HOW DOES DRIVE MODE
CONTROL WORK
Drive mode control adjusts your vehicleconfiguration for each mode you select.
Changing the drive mode adjusts thesteering effort and feel of the steeringsystem.
The stability and traction control assistyour vehicle control in adverse conditionsor high-performance driving.
Throttle control enhances the powertrainresponse, transmission controls becomeoptimized with shift schedules, andfour-wheel drive settings are optimizedand tuned to each mode.
Changing the drive mode can engage ordisengage the electronic lockingdifferentials.
Changing the drive mode changes thefour-wheel drive mode to the defaultsetting for the selected drive mode.
Note:The system has diagnostic checksthat continuously monitor the system forproper operation. If a mode is unavailabledue to a system fault, the drive modesystem defaults to normal. When thesystem defaults to normal, the drivelinesettings remain the same as prior to thesystem fault.
Note:The system reverts to the normalmode each time you start your vehicle. Atstartup the system also displays a prompton the instrument cluster display that givesyou the option to return to the previouslyselected drive mode during the last ignitioncycle. If you select yes, the system returnsto the last selected drive mode and thedefault driveline settings associated withthat mode. If you select no, the systemremains in normal mode and the drivelinesettings remain the same as selected in theprior ignition cycle. If you do not select yesor no, the system stays in normal mode andthe driveline settings remain the same asselected in the prior ignition cycle.
SELECTING A DRIVE MODE
Rotate the drive mode control on thecenter console to select or change a drivemode.
Note:Button icons vary depending on thevehicle.
