Úpage 172.
ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated Onboard
Diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the
performance of the emissions, engine, and transmission
control systems. When these systems are operating
properly, your vehicle will provide excellent performance
and fuel economy, as well as engine emissions well within
current government regulations.
If any of these systems require service, the OBD II system
will turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). It will
also store diagnostic codes and other information to
assist your service technician in making repairs. Although
your vehicle will usually be driveable and not need towing,
see an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
 Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause further
damage to the emission control system. It could also
affect fuel economy and driveability. The vehicle
must be serviced before any emissions tests can be
performed.
 If the MIL is flashing while the vehicle is running,
severe catalytic converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service is required.

Normal Ride Height (NRH) – This is the standard posi -
tion of the suspension and is meant for normal driving.
 Off-Road 1 (OR1) (Raises the vehicle approximately
1.2 inches [30 mm]) – This is the primary position for
all off-road driving until OR2 is needed. A smoother and
more comfortable ride will result. Push the toggle
switch forward once from the NRH position while the
vehicle speed is below 38 mph (61 km/h). When in the
OR1 position, if the vehicle speed remains between
40 mph (64 km/h) and 50 mph (80 km/h) for greater than 20 seconds or if the vehicle speed exceeds
50 mph (80 km/h), the vehicle will be automatically
lowered to NRH
Úpage 193. OR1 is unavailable on
4x2 air suspension vehicles.
 Off-Road 2 (OR2) (Raises the vehicle approximately
2.0 inches [51 mm]) – This position is intended for
off-roading use only where maximum ground clearance
is required. To enter OR2, push the toggle switch
forward twice from the NRH position or once from the
OR1 position while vehicle speed is below 20 mph
(32 km/h). While in OR2, if the vehicle speed exceeds
25 mph (40 km/h) the vehicle height will be automati -
cally lowered to OR1
Úpage 193. OR2 is unavailable
on 4x2 air suspension vehicles.
 Aero Height (Lowers the vehicle approximately
-0.6 inches [-15 mm]) – This position provides
improved aerodynamics by lowering the vehicle. The
vehicle will automatically enter Aero Height when the
vehicle speed remains between 62 mph (100 km/h)
and 66 mph (106 km/h) for greater than 20 seconds
or if the vehicle speed exceeds 66 mph (106 km/h). The vehicle will return to Default Ride Height from Aero
Height if the vehicle speed remains between 30 mph
(48 km/h) and 35 mph (56 km/h) for greater than
20 seconds or if the vehicle speed falls below 30 mph
(48 km/h). The vehicle will enter Aero Height, regard
-
less of vehicle speed if the vehicle is in “SPORT” mode.
 Entry/Exit Height (Lowers the vehicle approximately
-1.6 inches [-40 mm]) – This position lowers the
vehicle for easier passenger entry and exit as well as
lowering the rear of the vehicle for easier loading and
unloading of cargo. To enter Entry/Exit Height, push the
toggle switch down twice from NRH while the vehicle
speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h). To exit Entry/Exit
Height, push the UP button once while in Entry/Exit
Height or drive the vehicle over 4 mph (6 km/h).
NOTE:Automatic lowering of the vehicle into Entry/Exit Height
can be enabled through the Uconnect Touchscreen Radio.
If this feature is enabled, the vehicle will only lower if the
gear selector is in PARK, the terrain switch is in AUTO, the
transfer case is in AUTO and the vehicle level is either in
Normal or Aero Height. The vehicle will not automatically
lower if the air suspension level is in OR2 or OR1. When
towing, the automatic Entry/Exit feature may be disabled
through the Uconnect Touchscreen Radio to prevent
vehicle and trailer movement when gear selector is moved
to PARK. The Selec-Terrain system will automatically change the
vehicle to the proper height based on the position of the
Selec-Terrain switch. The height can be changed from the
default Selec-Terrain setting by normal use of the air
suspension buttons
Úpage 131.
The system requires that the engine be running for all
changes. When lowering the vehicle all of the doors,
including the liftgate, must be closed. If a door is opened
at any time while the vehicle is lowering the change will not
be completed until the open door(s) is/are closed.
The Quadra-Lift Air Suspension system uses a lifting and
lowering pattern which keeps the headlights from
incorrectly shining into oncoming traffic. When raising the
vehicle, the rear of the vehicle will move up first and then
the front. When lowering the vehicle, the front will move
down first and then the rear.
After the engine is turned off, it may be noticed that the air
suspension system operates briefly; this is normal. The
system is correcting the position of the vehicle to ensure a
proper appearance.
To assist with changing a spare tire, the Quadra-Lift Air
Suspension system has a feature which allows the
automatic leveling to be disabled

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.

WARNING!
Active Driving Assist is an SAE Level 2 Driver Assist
feature, requiring driver attention at all times. To
prevent serious injury or death:
Always remember that the Active Driving Assist
system is a convenience system that cannot accu -
rately detect all situations. Complete attention is
always required while driving, even when using the
Active Driving Assist system.
 Always remain alert and be ready to take control of
the vehicle in the event that the Active Driving Assist
system deactivates, or otherwise lacks full function -
ality as described further before and after this
statement.
 Always keep your hands on the steering wheel when
the Base Active Driving Assist system is activated.

NIGHT VISION CAMERA SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Night Vision Camera
system which uses an infrared camera to view the area
ahead of the vehicle, beyond the headlights, to detect
people and large animals when it is dark outside.
The system detects pedestrians or large animals by
measuring the temperature difference between the object
and the surrounding area.
The thermal objects detected by the camera can be
displayed in the instrument cluster display. Scroll to the
Night Vision page in the instrument cluster display menu
Úpage 104 to display the Night Vision screen.
Warm objects (e.g. animals) will appear lighter on the
display while cold objects (e.g. traffic signs) will appear
darker.
NOTE:
 Night Vision only shows objects of interest that are
warmer or colder than the surroundings.
 Adjust the instrument cluster dimmer control bright -
ness to make the image appear brighter or dimmer.
To exit out of the Night Vision screen, select a different
menu in the instrument cluster display.
A yellow or red border and box highlight will appear around
objects of interest. More than one object of interest may
be highlighted.

Highlight Around Objects Of Interest

The highlighting of the object(s) of interest will update in
real time based upon the current Night Vision
assessment.
The Night Vision system display can be deactivated under
certain conditions. See
Úpage 174 for further
information.
The two categories of Night Vision warnings are
Pedestrian Warnings and Animal Warnings.
Pedestrian Warning Telltale
Animal Warning Telltale
A Pedestrian or Animal Warning is considered either Level
1 or Level 2. Level 1 warnings are yellow, and Level 2
warnings are red. The colors are not configurable.

23_WS_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 172

STARTING AND OPERATING173
(Continued)
Level 1 Warnings:

Yellow telltale in the instrument cluster display
 Yellow highlights around the detected
pedestrian/animal
 Occurs when the vehicle is moving at speeds greater
than 8 mph (13 km/h) and the target is in or
approaching the vehicle path
Level 2 Warnings:
 Red telltale in the instrument cluster display
 Red highlights around the detected pedestrian/animal
 Occurs when the vehicle is moving at speeds greater
than 8 mph (13 km/h) and a collision with the detected
pedestrian/animal is possible
 The pedestrian/animal is directly in the vehicle path,
close to the headlight area
 A video pop-up will display when there is a target
detected and the instrument cluster display is not
showing the Night Vision page
 A chime will sound for a Level 2 Warning detection
event
Only one telltale can be displayed at a time based upon
priority.
The priority order of the warnings from highest to lowest is:

1. Pedestrian Warning Level 2

2. Animal Warning Level 2
3. Pedestrian Warning Level 1
4. Animal Warning Level 1
Level 2 Warnings may display in the Head Up Display
(if equipped).
NOTE:If the vehicle is stopped, or slowing down, all Level 2
warnings become Level 1 warnings.
You can enable or disable the warnings within the
Uconnect system
Úpage 197.
If the warnings are off, the telltales, chimes, and warning
messages will all be off. Pedestrians and animals can still
be detected by the system, but there will be no warnings. The Night Vision alert status telltale will be gray
when the warnings are suppressed. The telltale
will also turn gray to indicate that the alerts are
suppressed due to environmental factors (e.g.
daylight hours, external temperature is greater than 86°F
(30°C)) or if the gear selector is in REVERSE. When the
Night Vision alerts are active, the telltale will be green
Úpage 108.
Camera Washers
When the front window washer is activated, the Night
Vision camera will also be washed
Úpage 63.DETECTION RANGE
The system can detect people 4 ft (1.25 m) tall or greater
in the upright position. The system can also detect
animals that are four-legged and 3 ft (1 m) tall or greater
in the upright position.
The detection distance for the system is between 26 ft
(8 m) and 328 ft (100 m) from the front of the vehicle.WARNING!
 Do not jerk the steering wheel in response to a
warning.
 Never attempt to swerve around animals if doing so
would endanger you or others.
 Do not stare at the image while driving. You could
crash and you or others could be injured.
The Night Vision system only provides alerts to
objects of interest and cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver’s personal judgment. The warnings are
meant to direct your attention to the detected
objects, but the Night Vision system does not auto -
matically brake the vehicle and may not provide a
warning with enough time to help avoid a crash.
 Warnings are only provided if a pedestrian or large
animal is detected by the system.
 It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive
of road, traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle
speed, distance to the vehicle ahead, and most
importantly, brake operation, to ensure safe opera -
tion of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your
complete attention is always required while driving to
maintain safe control of your vehicle.
