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 cause 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.

IN-LANE REPOSITIONING
HOW DOES IN-LANEREPOSITIONING WORK
BlueCruise with in-lane repositioning usesthe vehicle's front and corner radar sensorstogether with the front windshield camerasensor to operate.
Using these sensors, the systemautomatically adjusts your vehicle’sposition in the lane based on the currentdriving situation.
Note:In-lane repositioning is active onlywhen BlueCruise is enabled while travelingon divided highways and when any of thefollowing occur:
•Passing or being passed by adjacentlane vehicles in close proximity.
•In a curve.
•Driving in outer lanes.
Note:In certain situations, the vehicle maybias without showing the indicators.
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.
Note:The radar sensor has a limited fieldof view. It may not detect vehicles at all ordetect a vehicle later than expected in somesituations.
