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.

LIMITATIONS
One pedal drive is unavailable when anyof the following occur:
•Shifting into an incorrect transmissionposition, such as park (P) when driving.
•Using active park assist.
•Using cruise control.
•Selecting a drive mode other thanengage, whisper, or unbridle. Forexample unbridle extend (GT only)disables one pedal drive.
•Turning off stability control.
Releasing the accelerator pedal may notbring your vehicle to a complete stop onsteep grades.
Increased vehicle load may reduceaccelerator pedal ability to slow thevehicle.
