•You have adaptive cruise control withstop and go enabled and set.
•The steering sensor detects your handson the steering wheel.
•The system detects both lane markingswhen driving on a straight road.
•Your vehicle is initially centered in thelane between two visible line markings.
Note:If the system does not detect validlane line markings, the system will remainin standby until valid line markings areavailable.
Note:If the system does not detect yourhands on the steering wheel, apply a slightforce to the steering wheel.
LANE CENTERING LIMITATIONS
Adaptive cruise control limitations applyto lane centering unless stated otherwiseor contradicted by a lane centeringlimitation. See Adaptive Cruise ControlLimitations (page 297).
Lane centering may not correctly operatein any of the following conditions:
•The lane width is too narrow or wide.
•The curve in the road is too small.
•The system does not detect theminimum required lane markings orwhen lanes merge or split.
•When the required steering effort tomaintain lane center exceeds the lanecentering system limit.
•When driving in areas that are underconstruction or when road work is inprogress.
•If the front windshield camera and/orthe front radar are blocked.
•When using a spare tire.
•Inclement weather conditionsincluding, but not limited to, high wind,heavy rain, and fog.
•Driving into direct sunlight.

COVERAGE
WHAT IS BLIND SPOTINFORMATION SYSTEM WITHTRAILER COVERAGE
Blind spot information system detectsvehicles that may have entered the blindspot zone. The detection area is on bothsides your vehicle and trailer, extendingrearward from the exterior mirrors to theend of your trailer.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATIONSYSTEM WITH TRAILERCOVERAGE LIMITATIONS
Trailer coverage supports conventionaltrailers automatically. To function withunconventional trailers such as fifth wheeland gooseneck variants, the vehicle needsto have trailer accessory sensorsconnected.
Make sure the trailer width is less than orequal to 8.5 ft (2.6 m) and the length isless than 33 ft (10.1 m) for conventionaltrailers and less than 50 ft (15.2 m) forunconventional trailers. If you input valueshigher, the system turns off.

Some trailers could cause a slight changein system performance:
•Large box trailers could cause falsealerts to occur when driving next toinfrastructures or near parked cars. Afalse alert could also occur whilemaking a 90-degree turn.
•Trailers that have a width greater than8.5 ft (2.6 m) at the front and have atotal length greater than 20 ft (6 m)could cause delayed alerts when avehicle is passing at high speeds.
•Box trailers that have a width greaterthan 8.5 ft (2.6 m) at the front couldcause early alerts when you pass avehicle.
•Clam shell or v-nose box trailers witha width greater than 8.5 ft (2.6 m) atthe front could cause delayed alertswhen a vehicle traveling the samespeed as your vehicle merges lanes.
Please contact your dealership for moreinformation about trailer blind spotaccessory sensors.

Note:The system only supportsconventional trailers.
2.Do you want to set up blind spot withtrailer screen? If no, the system turnsoff. If yes, the menu goes to the nextscreen.
3.Is the width less than 9 ft (2.7 m) andlength less than 33 ft (10.1 m)? If no,the system turns off. If yes, the menugoes to the next screen.
4.Trailer width measurement. Measurethe width at the front of the trailer. It isnot measured at the widest point ofthe trailer. The maximum width at thefront of the trailer the system cansupport is 8.5 ft (2.6 m).
Note:You do not need to enter an exacttrailer width measurement. You only needto confirm that the width of the trailer is lessthan 9 ft (2.7 m).
5.Trailer length measurement. The trailerlength is the distance between thetrailer hitch ball and the rear of thetrailer. The maximum length that thesystem can support is 33 ft (10.1 m).
6.Enter the length of trailer. The defaultsetting is 18 ft (5.5 m). Toggling up ordown using the menu buttonsincreases or decreases themeasurement by 1 ft (0.3 m). Select alength that is equal to or within 1 ft(0.3 m) of the actual measured length.For example, if the actual measurelength is 23 ft (7 m), toggle the lengthin the menu to 24 ft (7.2 m). Thesystem setup saves when you enter thelength of the trailer.
Note:If the trailer is a bike rack or cargorack with electrical lighting, enter a lengthof around 3 ft (1 m). Cross traffic alertremains on for trailers with a length of 3 ft(1 m) or less.
Note:The system requires propermeasurement and measure entry to functionproperly.
SELECTING A TRAILER
When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,the trailer set up menu appears in thetouchscreen. This menu allows you to setup a new trailer or choose from apreviously set up trailer. A warningmessage appears and the system turns offif you do not choose or add a new trailer.

Your vehicle may have a temporary orconventional spare tire. A temporary sparetire is different in diameter or width,tread-type, or is from a differentmanufacturer than the road tires on yourvehicle. Consult information on the tirelabel or Safety Compliance label forlimitations when using.
When towing a trailer:
•Obey country specific regulations fortowing a trailer.
•Do not drive faster than 70 mph(113 km/h) during the first 500 mi(800 km).
•Do not make full-throttle starts.
•Check your hitch, electrical connectionsand trailer wheel lug nuts thoroughlyafter you have traveled 50 mi (80 km).
•When stopped in congested or heavytraffic during hot weather, place thetransmission in park (P) to aid engineand transmission cooling and to helpA/C performance.
•Turn off the speed control with heavyloads or in hilly terrain. The speedcontrol may turn off when you aretowing on long, steep slopes.
•Shift to a lower gear when driving downa long or steep hill. Do not continuouslyapply the brakes, as they may overheatand become less effective.
•If your transmission has Grade Assistor Tow/Haul, use this feature whentowing. This provides engine brakingand helps eliminate excessivetransmission shifting for optimum fueleconomy and transmission cooling.
•If your vehicle has AdvanceTrac withroll stability control, this system mayturn on during typical corneringmaneuvers with a heavily loaded trailer.This is normal. Turning the corner at aslower speed when towing may reducethis tendency.
•Allow more distance for stopping witha trailer attached. Anticipate stops andgradually brake.
•Avoid parking on a slope. However, ifyou must park on a slope, turn thesteering wheel to point your vehicletires away from traffic flow, set theparking brake, place the transmissionin park (P) and place wheel chocks infront and back of the trailer wheels.
Note:Chocks are not included with yourvehicle.
LAUNCHING OR RETRIEVING
A BOAT OR PERSONAL
WATERCRAFT
When backing down a ramp during boatlaunching or retrieval:
•Do not allow the static water level torise above the bottom edge of the rearbumper.
•Do not allow waves to break higherthan 6 in (15 cm) above the bottomedge of the rear bumper.
Exceeding 6 in (15 cm) could allow waterto enter vehicle components, causinginternal damage to the components andaffecting driveability, emissions andreliability.
Note:Replace the rear axle lubricantanytime the rear axle has been submergedin water.
Note:Disconnect the trailer wiringconnector before backing the trailer into thewater.
Note:Reconnect the trailer wiringconnector after removing the trailer fromthe water.

TIRE QUALITY GRADES
Tire Quality Grades apply to newpneumatic passenger car tires.The Quality grades can be foundwhere applicable on the tiresidewall between tread shoulderand maximum section width. Forexample: Treadwear 200Traction AA Temperature A.
These Tire Quality Grades aredetermined by standards that theUnited States Department ofTransportation has set.
Tire Quality Grades apply to newpneumatic passenger car tires.They do not apply to deep tread,winter-type snow tires,space-saver or temporary usespare tires, light truck or LT typetires, tires with nominal rimdiameters of 10 to 12 inches orlimited production tires as definedin Title 49 Code of FederalRegulations Part 575.104 (c)(2).
U.S. Department ofTransportation Tire qualitygrades: The U.S. Department ofTransportation requires us to giveyou the following informationabout tire grades exactly as thegovernment has written it.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is acomparative rating based on thewear rate of the tire when testedunder controlled conditions on aspecified government test course.For example, a tire graded 150would wear 1½ times as well onthe government course as a tiregraded 100. The relativeperformance of tires dependsupon the actual conditions of theiruse, however, and may departsignificantly from the norm due tovariations in driving habits, servicepractices, and differences in roadcharacteristics and climate.
