CONTROL
WARNING: Normal cruise controlwill not brake when your vehicle isapproaching slower vehicles. Always beaware of which mode you have selectedand apply the brakes when necessary.
1.Press Features on the touchscreen.
2.Press Driver Assistance.
3.Press Cruise Control.
4.Press Normal Cruise Control.
The cruise control indicatorreplaces the adaptive cruisecontrol indicator if you selectnormal cruise control. The gap settingdoes not display, and the system does notrespond to lead vehicles. Automaticbraking remains active to maintain setspeed. The system remembers the lastsetting when you start your vehicle.
LANE CENTERING
HOW DOES LANE CENTERINGWORK
Adaptive cruise control with lane centeringuses the vehicle's front radar sensor andfront windshield camera sensor, togetherwith the steering sensor to operate.
Using these sensors, the system appliescontinuous steering assistance towardsdriving in the middle of the lane you chooseon highway roads.
Note:The gap setting for adaptive cruisecontrol with lane centering, operates in thesame way as normal adaptive cruise control.
LANE CENTERING PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not use the systemwhen towing a trailer or when the vehicleis loaded to near or over maximumpayload. Failure to follow this instructioncould result in the loss of control of yourvehicle, personal injury or death.
WARNING: Do not use the systemif any changes or modifications to thesteering, suspension system or wheelsand tires have been made. Any changesor modifications to the steering,suspension system or wheels and tirescould affect the functionality andperformance of the system. Failure tofollow this instruction could result in theloss of control of your vehicle, personalinjury or death.
Adaptive cruise control precautions applyto lane centering unless stated otherwiseor contradicted by a lane centeringprecaution. See Adaptive Cruise ControlPrecautions (page 296).

PREDICTIVE SPEED ASSIST (IF
EQUIPPED)
HOW DOES PREDICTIVE SPEEDASSIST WORK
Predictive Speed Assist works withadaptive cruise control and adjusts thevehicle speed to the road geometry and tothe speed limit detected by the speed signrecognition system. As the systemidentifies curves and highway exits, thevehicle speed temporarily decreases aheadof and during the changing road geometry.When passing new speed signs, the setspeed updates. See Predictive SpeedAssist Precautions (page 306).
There are limitations that affect theaccuracy of the speed sign recognitionsystem and its ability to determine thecurrent speed limit. Predictive speed assistand its ability to determine the currentspeed limit shares these limitations. SeeSpeed Sign Recognition (page 348).
Note:The adaptive cruise control gapsetting operates normally when the featureis enabled.
PREDICTIVE SPEED ASSISTPRECAUTIONS
WARNING: You are responsible forcontrolling your vehicle at all times. Thesystem is designed to be an aid and doesnot relieve you of your responsibility todrive with due care and attention. Failureto follow this instruction could result inthe loss of control of your vehicle,personal injury or death.
WARNING: Pay close attention tochanging road conditions. You may needto override the system by pressing thebrake or accelerator pedal if the adjustedspeed becomes higher or lower thannecessary.
WARNING: The system onlyprovides limited braking. Your vehiclemay not always decelerate quicklyenough to avoid a crash without driverintervention. Apply the brakes whennecessary.
WARNING: The system does notactivate the turn signal.

The system only applies limited braking.You can override the system with theaccelerator pedal or cancel the system byapplying the brakes.
The system may adapt to various factorssuch as time of day, lane width. This couldinfluence speed adjustments andaccelerations.
The system may adapt to various drivemodes. See Drive Mode Control (page311).This could influence speedadjustments and accelerations.
Note:The system does not activate theturn signal automatically.
PREDICTIVE SPEED ASSISTLIMITATIONS
WARNING: The system may notalways adjust vehicle speed in certainroad or weather conditions such ascrossing traffic, yield or stop signs, rightof way, traffic lights, speed bumps, rain,snow, fog. You must always apply thebrake or accelerator pedal whennecessary.
The road geometry and speed limitinformation provided by the navigationmap data could be inaccurate or out ofdate.
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.
Detection of road geometry operates onlywhere related information is available.Road geometry information may not beavailable in some areas.

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 controller located on the centerconsole. Rotate the drive mode controlleronce to activate the drive mode selectionmenu in the display. Rotate the controllera second time to select and engage thedrive mode.
Note:Button icons vary depending on thevehicle’s configuration.

DRIVE MODE CONTROL –FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why did the system default tonormal mode?
•If a mode is unavailable due to asystem fault, it defaults to normalmode and the driveline settings remainthe same as prior to the system fault.
Can I switch drive modes while Iam driving?
•In most instances, you can switch drivemodes while you are driving (if youmaintain attention on the road), orwhile the vehicle is stationary.However, you should not switch thevehicle into a drive mode intended foroff-road or track use while driving onpaved, public roads. For example, whiledriving on a paved highway, it wouldbe acceptable to switch from normalmode to eco mode, but not to off-roadmode.
How long does it take for thevehicle to switch modes after Imake a selection?
•After switching modes, the new drivemode will activate within severalseconds, if all the appropriatepre-conditions are met.
How should I decide which drivemode to use?
•Selecting a drive mode usuallydepends on the driving experience youwould like to have, and the drivingconditions. For example, if you want tohave a more exciting on-road drivingexperience, you could switch into sportmode. If you find yourself driving onslick roads, you could switch intoslippery mode.
Will drive modes impact myvehicle’s fuel consumption?
•Drive modes can have an impact onyour vehicle’s fuel consumption. Inaddition to the active mode, yourdriving style will also affect the fuelconsumption.
