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.

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.

controller. Sand mode optimizes brakingfor off-road conditions, allowing quick pathcorrections and minimized stoppingdistance when on deformable surfaces.The engine sound enhances when in sandmode.
The rear differential lock feature isavailable in sand mode. When enabled itis engaged below 30 mph (48 km/h).
Note:Using sand mode on dry, hardsurfaces could produce some vibration,driveline bind up, potential excessive tirewear and vehicle wear.
Note:Do not use on firm, slippery surfaces,such as paved roads covered with snow orice or driving on packed snow. For slippery,firm surfaces use slippery mode.
SLIPPERY - 4X4
For less than ideal roadconditions such as snow or icecovered roads. Use this mode forcrossing terrain where loose or slipperymaterials cover a firm surface. Slipperymode lowers throttle response andoptimizes shifting for slippery surfaces.
Four-wheel drive auto is the defaultfour-wheel drive mode. Two-wheel drivehigh is not available in slippery mode.
The electronic locking differential isavailable below 25 mph (40 km/h). SeeLocking and Unlocking the ElectronicLimited-Slip Differential (page 227).
Note:Do not use this mode when drivingon dry pavement. This could cause drivelinebind up and damage the system dependingon the four-wheel drive mode selection.See Four-Wheel Drive (page 219).
SLIPPERY - 4X2
For less than ideal roadconditions such as snow or icecovered roads. Use this mode forcrossing terrain where loose or slipperymaterials cover a firm surface. Slipperymode lowers throttle response andoptimizes shifting for slippery surfaces.
The electronic locking differential isavailable below 25 mph (40 km/h). SeeLocking and Unlocking the ElectronicLimited-Slip Differential (page 227).
Note:Do not use this mode when drivingon dry pavement. This could cause drivelinebind up and damage the system dependingon the four-wheel drive mode selection.See Four-Wheel Drive (page 219).
Note:Depending on your vehicle options,some mode names can appear different ornot at all.
SPORT - 4X4
For sporty driving with improvedperformance handling andresponse. This mode increasesaccelerator pedal response and providesa sportier steering feel. The powertrainsystem holds onto lower gears longer,helping your vehicle accelerate faster.
Four-wheel drive auto is the defaultfour-wheel drive mode. Four-wheel drivelow is not available in sport mode.
The system tunes the steering andsuspension to provide a more connectedand spirited driving experience.

TOW/HAUL - 4X4
For improved transmissionoperation when towing a traileror a heavy load. This modemoves upshifts to higher engine speeds toreduce the frequency of transmissionshifting. This mode also provides enginebraking in all forward gears, which slowsyour vehicle and assists you in controllingyour vehicle when descending a slope. Theamount of downshift braking providedvaries based on the amount you press thebrake pedal.
All four-wheel drive modes are selectablein tow/haul mode. This mode does notdefault to a certain four-wheel drive modeand maintains the previous selection.
The system tunes the steering andsuspension to enhance driving comfortwhen towing or carrying heavy loads.

WHAT IS THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM
The lane keeping system alerts you byproviding temporary steering assistanceor steering wheel vibration when it detectsan unintended lane departure.
HOW DOES THE LANE
KEEPING SYSTEM WORK
The lane keeping system uses a forwardlooking camera mounted on the windshieldto monitor vehicle movement within thetravel lane.
When the camera detects a drift out of thetravel lane, the lane keeping system alertsthe driver by vibrating the steering wheel,or aids the driver by providing a smallsteering input to move the vehicle backinto the travel lane.
The driver can select one of three modes:
•Alert (If Equipped)
•Aid
•Alert + Aid
LANE KEEPING SYSTEM
PRECAUTIONS
