148STARTING AND OPERATING
Speed Limit Exceeded
When the vehicle’s speed exceeds the displayed speed
limit by 3 mph (5 km/h), the speed limit sign on the
instrument cluster display will show a red outline to alert
the driver.ACTIVE DRIVING ASSIST SYSTEM —
IF EQUIPPED
OPERATION
The Active Driving Assist (ADA) system is combined with
the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system, and centers the
vehicle in the driving lane while traveling at speeds up to
90 mph (145 km/h).
For ACC system operating instructions and system
limitations, see
Úpage 139.
NOTE:
The driver should always obey traffic laws and speed
limits. Never drive above applicable speed limit restric -
tions.
 The driver can override ADA at any time by braking,
accelerating, or steering the vehicle.
Just like ACC, ADA will maintain a set speed as long as the
set distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front
is maintained. ADA will also keep your vehicle centered
between the lane lines, and monitor for other vehicles in
adjacent lanes by utilizing the Blind Spot Monitoring
sensors.
Two types of Active Driving Assist systems are available:
 Base ADA system
 Hands-Free ADA system
Base Active Driving Assist System — If Equipped
The Base ADA system uses sensors within the steering
wheel to measure driver attentiveness, and requires that
the driver have their hands on the steering wheel at all
times. The system will generally aim to keep the vehicle centered
in the lane, but when the driver turns the steering wheel
(e.g. to move farther away from a large vehicle in an
adjacent lane) the system will reduce its control and enter
"co-steering" mode. While in co-steering mode, the system
will provide reduced assistance and allow the driver to
control the path of the vehicle. Once the driver stops
providing input to the steering wheel, the system will
require a few seconds to fully resume lane centering
assistance, especially during curves.
Hands-Free Active Driving Assist System — If Equipped
The Hands-Free ADA system uses sensors within the
steering wheel and a driver monitoring camera located on
top of the steering column to monitor driver attentiveness.
The Hands-Free ADA system allows the driver to remove
their hands from the steering wheel when engaged, but
requires that the driver continue to pay attention to the
road.
The Hands-Free ADA system will also change lanes when
a turn signal is activated if the adjacent lane in the
direction indicated is clear of another vehicle, and lane
markings are detected (noted by a dashed line in the
direction of the available lane change). The system uses
sensors, including Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) sensors,
to determine if a lane change is possible. If the assisted
lane change is in progress, a green arrow will appear. If a
lane change is requested but the direction indicated is not
possible, a yellow arrow will appear. Once conditions are
clear, the arrow will turn green and the assisted lane
change will begin.
CAUTION!

Functionality may be limited or the system may not
work if the sensor is obstructed.
 The system may have limited operation or not work at
all in weather conditions such as heavy rain, hail, and
thick fog. Strong light contrasts can influence the
recognition capability of the sensor.
 The area surrounding the sensor must not be
covered with stickers or any other object.
 Do not tamper or perform any operations in the area
of the windshield glass directly surrounding the
sensor.
 Clean foreign matters such as bird droppings,
insects, snow or ice on the windshield. Use specific
detergents and clean cloths to avoid scratching the
windshield.

STARTING AND OPERATING149
(Continued)
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
