OPERATION
The indicator lamps 1 through 5 will illuminate to show the
current position of the vehicle. Flashing indicator lamps
will show a position which the system is working to
achieve. When raising, if multiple indicator lamps are
flashing while raising, the highest flashing indicator lamp
is the position the system is working to achieve. When
lowering, if multiple indicators are flashing while lowering
the lowest solid indicator lamp is the position the system
is working to achieve.
Toggle up once moves the suspension one position higher
from the current position, assuming all conditions are met
(i.e., engine running, speed below threshold, etc.). Toggle
up can be pushed multiple times. Each toggle up will raise
the requested level by one position up to a maximum
position of OR2 or the highest position allowed based on
current conditions (i.e., vehicle speed, etc.).
Toggle down once moves the suspension one position
lower from the current level, assuming all conditions are
met (i.e., engine running, doors closed, speed below
threshold, etc.). Toggle down can be pushed multiple
times. Each toggle down will lower the requested level by
one position down to a minimum of Park mode or the
lowest position allowed based on current conditions (i.e.,
vehicle speed, etc.) Automatic height changes will occur based on vehicle

FUEL SAVER TECHNOLOGY 5.7L AND 6.4L
ONLY — IF EQUIPPED
This feature offers improved fuel economy by shutting off
four of the engine's eight cylinders during light load and
cruise conditions. The system is automatic with no driver
inputs or additional driving skills required.
NOTE:This system may take some time to return to full function -
ality after a battery disconnect.
POWER STEERING
The electric power steering system is designed to provide
increased vehicle response and ease of maneuverability
in tight spaces. The power steering system adapts to
different driving conditions. If the electric power steering
system experiences a fault that prevents it from providing
assist, you will still have the ability to steer the vehicle
manually.
NOTE:Alternate electric power steering efforts can be selected
through the Uconnect System Úpage 197.
If the Electric Power Steering warning icon is
displayed and the “SERVICE POWER
STEERING” or the “POWER STEERING ASSIST
OFF – SERVICE SYSTEM” message is displayed
within the instrument cluster display, this indicates the
vehicle needs to be taken to an authorized dealer for
service
Úpage 108.
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced assist could pose a
safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be
obtained as soon as possible.

CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with the Cruise Control
system, or the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system:
 Cruise Control will keep your vehicle at a constant
preset speed.
 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) will adjust the vehicle
speed up to the preset speed to maintain a distance
with the vehicle ahead.
NOTE:In vehicles NOT equipped with the Active Driving Assist
(ADA) system:
 Fixed Speed Cruise Control can be used without ACC
enabled, and functions as normal cruise control.
 If ACC is not enabled, Fixed Speed Cruise Control will
not detect vehicles directly ahead of you. Always be
aware of the feature selected.
 Only one Cruise Control feature can operate at a
time. For example, if Fixed Speed Cruise Control is
enabled, Adaptive Cruise Control will be unavailable,
and vice versa.4

23_WS_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 137

STARTING AND OPERATING143
Setting The Following Distance In ACC
The specified following distance for ACC can be set by
varying the distance setting between four bars (longest),
three bars (long), two bars (medium) and one bar (short).
Using this distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC
calculates and sets the distance to the vehicle ahead. This
distance setting appears in the instrument cluster display.

Distance Settings

To increase the distance setting, push the Distance
Increase button and release. Each time the button is
pushed, the distance setting increases by one bar (longer). To decrease the distance setting, push the Distance
Decrease button and release. Each time the button is
pushed, the distance setting decreases by one bar
(shorter).
If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle will maintain the
set speed. If a slower moving vehicle is detected in the
same lane, the instrument cluster display will show the
ACC Set With Target Detected Indicator Light, and the
system will adjust the vehicle speed automatically to
maintain the distance setting, regardless of the set speed.
The vehicle will then maintain the set distance until:

The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed above the
set speed.
 The vehicle ahead moves out of your lane or view of the
sensor.
 The distance setting is changed.
 The system disengages
Úpage 141.
The maximum braking applied by ACC is limited; however,
the driver can always apply the brakes manually, if
necessary.
NOTE:The brake lights will illuminate whenever the ACC system
applies the brakes. A Proximity Warning will alert the driver if ACC predicts that
its maximum braking level is not sufficient to maintain the
set distance. If this occurs, a visual alert “BRAKE!” will
flash in the instrument cluster display and a chime will
sound while ACC continues to apply its maximum braking
capacity.
NOTE:The “BRAKE!” screen in the instrument cluster display is a
warning for the driver to take action and does not neces
-
sarily mean that the Forward Collision Warning system is
applying the brakes autonomously.
Overtake Aid
When driving with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) engaged
and following a vehicle, the system will provide an
additional acceleration up to the ACC set speed to assist
in passing the vehicle. This additional acceleration is
triggered when the driver utilizes the left turn signal and
will only be active when passing on the left side.
ACC Operation At Stop
If the ACC system brings your vehicle to a standstill while
following a vehicle ahead, your vehicle will resume motion,
without any driver interaction, if the vehicle ahead starts
moving within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill.
If the vehicle in front does not start moving within two
seconds of your vehicle coming to a standstill, the driver
will either have to push the RES (resume) button, or apply
the accelerator pedal to reengage the ACC to the existing
set speed.

Additionally, Hands-Free ADA will slow the vehicle down
when approaching and going through sharp curves.

Assisted Lane Change (Green Left Arrow)

Extended Auto Resume
If equipped with Hands-Free ADA and the system brings
your vehicle to a stop while following the vehicle ahead,
your vehicle will automatically resume driving without
driver input when the path in front of the vehicle is clear
and the driver is attentive. The path in front of the vehicle
is determined to be clear based on the forward facing
camera, front radars, and front ultrasonic sensors. If the vehicle in front does not start moving after
10 minutes, the Electric Park Brake (EPB) will be applied
and the system will cancel.
NOTE:

The Hands-Free Active Driving Assist system is only
available on approved compatible roadways and
requires an active subscription through the Uconnect
Connected Services package. If the ADA on/off button
is pushed without an active subscription, the instru -
ment cluster display will show the message “Active
Driving Assist Unavailable Update Subscription”. Refer
to the Uconnect Owner’s Manual Supplement for
further information.
 If previously disabled, activating the Hands-Free Active
Driving Assist system will also activate the Forward
Collision Warning and Pedestrian Emergency Braking
systems
Úpage 250.
 If the vehicle is equipped with the Uconnect Connected
Services package, additional data may be collected
through the Connected Services system. This includes
information about the vehicle’s operation, a collision
involving the vehicle, the use of the vehicle and its
features, and in certain situations, the location and
approximate GPS speed of the vehicle. Refer to the
Uconnect Owner’s Manual Supplement for Terms and
Conditions and Privacy Statements. 
The driver monitoring camera may record images of the
driver during certain crash, or near crash-like situa -
tions. To retrieve the images recorded by the camera,
special equipment is required and access to the
vehicle or the camera is needed.
 Vehicle data may be read from the Hands-Free ADA
system with special equipment and access to the
vehicle or the Event Data Recorder (EDR).WARNING!
The driver is always responsible for determining if a
lane change is safe. Failure to follow this warning can
result in a collision and death or serious personal
injury.
WARNING!
The Active Driving Assist (ADA) system is a convenience
system. It is not a substitute for active driver
involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be
attentive of road traffic, weather conditions, vehicle
speed, distance to the vehicle ahead, position in the
lane compared to other vehicles, and brake operation
to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road
conditions. Your complete attention is always required
while driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision
and death or serious personal injury.
Some states and local laws may require hands to be
kept on the steering wheel at all times. For vehicles
equipped with the Hands-Free ADA system, ONLY
remove your hands from the steering wheel if the
Hands-Free system is engaged, it is safe to do so, and it
is permitted by state and local laws.4

160STARTING AND OPERATING
(Continued)
PARKSENSE ACTIVE PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system is intended to
assist the driver during parallel and perpendicular parking
maneuvers. The system works by identifying a proper
parking space, providing audible/visual instructions, and
controlling the steering wheel only, or the accelerator,
gear selector, brakes, and the steering wheel (if equipped
with the Fully Automated system). Depending on the
driver's parking maneuver selection, the ParkSense Active
Park Assist system is capable of maneuvering a vehicle
into a parallel or a perpendicular parking space on either
side (i.e., driver side or passenger side).
Two types of ParkSense Active Park Assist systems are
available:
Semi-Automatic ParkSense Active Park Assist
 ParkSense Automated Parking system Semi-Automatic ParkSense Active Park Assist —
If Equipped
The Semi-Automatic system detects parking spaces, and
controls the steering wheel only. The driver maintains
control of the accelerator, gear selector and brakes.
ParkSense Automated Parking — If Equipped
The Fully Automated system detects parking spaces, and
controls the accelerator, gear selector, brakes, and
steering wheel. In this mode, the system also provides
obstacle detection by providing visual and audible
warnings and automatic braking to avoid a collision.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Fully Automated
system, you can switch between Semi-Automatic and Fully
Automated mode in the Uconnect Settings
Úpage 197.
NOTE:

The driver is always responsible for controlling the
vehicle, responsible for any surrounding objects, and
must intervene as required.
 The system is designed to assist the driver and not to
substitute the driver.
 During a Semi-Automatic or Fully Automated
maneuver, if the driver touches the steering wheel
after being instructed to remove their hands from the
steering wheel, the system will cancel, and the driver
will be required to manually complete the parking
maneuver.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even when
using ParkSense. Always check carefully behind your
vehicle, look behind you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions,
and blind spots before backing up. You are respon -
sible for safety and must continue to pay attention to
your surroundings. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
 Before using ParkSense, it is strongly recommended
that the ball mount and hitch ball assembly be
disconnected from the vehicle when the vehicle is
not used for towing. Failure to do so can result in
injury or damage to vehicles or obstacles because
the hitch ball will be much closer to the obstacle than
the rear fascia when the vehicle sounds the contin -
uous tone. Also, the sensors could detect the ball
mount and hitch ball assembly, depending on its size
and shape, giving a false indication that an obstacle
is behind the vehicle.
CAUTION!
 ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is unable to
recognize every obstacle, including small obstacles.
Parking curbs might be temporarily detected or not
detected at all. Obstacles located above or below the
sensors will not be detected when they are in close
proximity.
The vehicle must be driven slowly when using Park -
Sense in order to be able to stop in time when an
obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder when using Park -
Sense.
CAUTION!

23_WS_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 160

STARTING AND OPERATING161
The system may not work in all conditions (e.g. environ -
mental conditions such as heavy rain, snow, etc., or if
searching for a parking space that has surfaces that
will absorb the ultrasonic sensor waves).
 New vehicles from the dealership must have at least
30 miles (48 km) accumulated before the ParkSense
Active Park Assist system is fully calibrated and
performs accurately. This is due to the system’s
dynamic vehicle calibration to improve the perfor -
mance of the feature. The system will also continuously
perform the dynamic vehicle calibration to account for
differences such as over or under inflated tires and
new tires.
ENABLING AND DISABLING THE
P

166STARTING AND OPERATING
Once active steering begins, a camera image will appear
in the Uconnect display with instructions that will display
for the duration of the maneuver.
The system may then instruct the driver to wait for steering
to complete before then instructing to check the vehicle’s
surroundings, and move backward.

Move Backward

Several more gear shifts (DRIVE and REVERSE) while
keeping hands off of the steering wheel will be instructed
to the driver while checking the vehicle’s surroundings
before completing the parking maneuver.
When the vehicle is in the parking position, the maneuver
is complete and the driver will be instructed to check the
vehicle's parking position, then shift the vehicle into PARK.
The message “Complete! Check Parking Position” will be
displayed momentarily.
NOTE:
It is the driver's responsibility to use the brake and stop
the vehicle. The driver should check their surroundings
and be prepared to stop the vehicle either when
instructed to, or when driver intervention is required.
 It is the driver’s responsibility to use the brake and
accelerator during the Semi-Automatic parking
maneuver.
 When the system instructs the driver to remove their
hands from the steering wheel, the driver should check
their surroundings and begin to back up slowly.
 The ParkSense Active Park Assist system will allow a
maximum of eight shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE.
If the maneuver cannot be completed within eight
shifts, the system will cancel and the instrument
cluster display will instruct the driver to complete the
maneuver manually.
 The system will cancel the maneuver if the vehicle
speed exceeds 18 mph (30 km/h) during active
steering guidance into the parking space. The system
will provide a warning to the driver at 15 mph
(25 km/h) that tells them to slow down. The driver is
then responsible for completing the maneuver if the
system is canceled.
 If the system is canceled during the maneuver for any
reason, the driver must take control of the vehicle.WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when performing parallel or
perpendicular parking maneuvers even when using
the ParkSense Active Park Assist system. Always
check carefully behind and in front of your vehicle,
look behind and in front of you, and be sure to check
for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstruc -
tions, and blind spots before backing up and moving
forward. You are responsible for safety and must
continue to pay attention to your surroundings.
Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
 Before using the ParkSense Active Park Assist
system, it is strongly recommended that the ball
mount and hitch ball assembly be disconnected from
the vehicle when the vehicle is not used for towing.
Failure to do so can result in injury or damage to vehi -
cles or obstacles because the hitch ball will be much
closer to the obstacle than the rear fascia/bumper
when the vehicle sounds the continuous tone. Also,
the sensors could detect the ball mount and hitch
ball assembly, depending on its size and shape,
giving a false indication that an obstacle is behind
the vehicle.

23_WS_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 166

168STARTING AND OPERATING
If the driver crosses the lane marking, the system will
either guide the vehicle back to the center of the lane,
provide a vibration in the steering wheel, or both,
depending on radio settings.
When both lane markings are detected, and the driver
uses the turn signal to indicate a lane change, and a
vehicle is detected in the BSM zone on that side of the
vehicle, the ALM system provides a warning in the form of
steering assist and/or steering vibration (depending on
radio settings) to guide the vehicle back to the center of
the lane.
NOTE:
The system will suppress visual warnings, steering
vibration (if selected in radio settings), and steering
assistance (if selected in radio settings) when the
driver activates the turn signal, the blind spot zone is
clear of vehicles, and a lane change is occurring.
 If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system detects a
vehicle in the adjacent lane, and the turn signal is
applied in that direction, the BSM LED on the mirror will
flash. If the driver continues to attempt the lane
change, steering wheel torque will be provided to keep
the vehicle within its lane markings.
The driver may manually override the steering assist
warning by applying force to the steering wheel at any
time.
When only a single lane marking is detected and the driver
drifts across the lane marking (no turn signal applied), the
Active Lane Management system provides a visual
warning in the instrument cluster, as well as a steering
assist torque (if configured in Uconnect Settings), to
prompt the driver to remain within the lane boundaries. If the driver continues to drift out of the lane, the system
provides a flashing visual warning through the instrument
cluster display as well as a haptic steering wheel vibration
(if configured in Uconnect Settings) when the vehicle
crosses the lane boundary.
NOTE:When operating conditions have been met, the Active
Lane Management system will monitor if the driver’s
hands are on the steering wheel and provides an audible
and visual warning to the driver if removed. The system
will cancel if the driver does not return their hands to the
wheel.
