WARNING: The system does not
replace the parking brake. When you leave
your vehicle, always apply the parking
brake.
WARNING: You must remain in your
vehicle when the system turns on. At all
times, you are responsible for controlling

may result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, serious personal injury or death.
WARNING: The system turns off if
there is a malfunction or if you excessively

E297977
Press the button.
The indicator appears in the information
display. When the system is on, the color of
the indicator changes to indicate the system
status. See Adaptive Cruise Control
Indicators (page 312).
Note:Adaptive cruise control must be on
before you can switch lane centering on.
Activating Lane Centering
The system only activates when all of the
following occur:
• You have adaptive cruise control with
stop-and-go on.
• The vehicle is centered in the lane.
• Your hands are on the steering wheel at
all times.
• The system detects both lane markings.
Note:If it does not detect valid lane
markings, the system stays inactive until
valid markings are available.
You can override the system at any time by
steering your vehicle.
When lane centering is active and the
direction indicator is switched on, the system
immediately cancels. The system remains in
standby mode as long as the direction
indicator is engaged. The system re-activates
automatically once the vehicle is centered
in a lane and the direction indicator is
switched off.
System Alerts and Automatic
Cancellation
You must keep your hands on the steering
wheel at all times.
When the system is active and detects no
steering activity for a certain period of time,
the system alerts you to put your hands on
the steering wheel. If you do not react to the
warnings the system cancels and slows your
vehicle down to idle speeds while
maintaining steering control.
The system also alerts you if your vehicle
crosses lane markings without detected
steering activity.
Note:The system may detect a light grip or
touch on the steering wheel as hands-off
driving.
When the system is cancelled due to an
external condition, for example, no lane
markings are available and your hands are
not on the steering wheel, the system
immediately alerts you to take control of the
vehicle. If this alert is ignored, the system
slows the vehicle while maintaining steering
control.

Special Loading Instructions for
Owners of Pick-up Trucks and Utility-
type Vehicles
WARNING: When loading the
roof racks, we recommend you evenly
distribute the load, as well as maintain
a low center of gravity. Loaded
vehicles, with higher centers of gravity,
may handle differently than unloaded
vehicles. Take extra precautions, such
as slower speeds and increased
stopping distance, when driving a
heavily loaded vehicle.
AIR SUSPENSION (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING: If your vehicle has
self-leveling air suspension, you must
switch the system off before carrying out
any maintenance or repair. Failure to follow
this warning could result in serious
personal injury or death.The air suspension system automatically
adjusts to maintain a constant frame height,
allows for ease of vehicle loading, provides
improved vehicle ride, and increased driver
comfort.
You can adjust different ride settings through
the selectable drive modes. See Selecting
a Drive Mode (page 343).
Note:The air suspension system may not
operate properly if you exceed the load limit.

while your vehicle is stationary.Note:Always switch the air suspension
service mode to on before servicing your
vehicle.
Using Cargo Loading
The air suspension cargo loading feature
lowers your vehicle for easier access when
the system detects the liftgate is opening.
When the liftgate is closed your vehicle
returns to its normal height after a short time.
Note:To preserve your vehicle battery, your
vehicle may only lower for cargo mode one
to two times per ignition cycle.
Using Easy Entry
The air suspension can lower your vehicle
to an easier access entry height when the
system detects the intelligent access key,
you press the unlock button, use the remote
start, or use Phone as a Key.
