Active Driving Assist Indicators Are Yellow
Driver inattentiveness has been detected,
warning the driver to place hands on the
steering wheel.
Active Driving Assist Indicators Are Red
Driver inattentiveness is still being detected,
warning the driver to place hands on the
steering wheel. This warning is also issued when
the system has detected a tight curve and is
warning the driver to take control
NOTE:The driver MUST replace hands on the steering
wheel and take control of the vehicle when the
system is deactivated.

Active Driving Assist Cancelled Message

MINIMUM RISK MANEUVER
If the driver’s hands are removed from the steering
wheel, a counter will start in order to display and
activate visual and acoustic alerts. When the
absence of hands is detected, the system will start
Minimum Risk Maneuver for bringing the vehicle in
a safe position.

After 23 seconds from the absence of the hands on
the steering wheel, the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
system will apply a brake jerk to warn the driver to take
vehicle control. If, after another 3 seconds the driver
does not take the control of the vehicle, the system will
apply a second brake jerk.
Subsequently, if the absence of hands on the steering
wheel persists, the system will apply an automatic
braking intervention to bring the vehicle to the stop.
As soon as the standstill condition is reached, the
hazard emergency lights will be activated. Then, the
system will unlock the doors (if previously locked). If the
driver takes control of the vehicle during the Minimum
Risk Maneuver by placing the hands on the steering
wheel or pressing the pedal throttle, the system will
behave normally and the Minimum Risk Maneuver will
be stopped.

SYSTEM STATUS

Along with changes in the system’s indicator lights
(green, yellow, and red), the system can also issue a
steering wheel vibration to accompany these warnings.
The vibration warning (if enabled) will occur if the
vehicle crosses a lane marker, for example, when
driving on a tight curve. This feature can be turned
on or off within the Uconnect system
Ú
page 134.

when using ADA.
Always remain alert and be ready to take
control of the vehicle in the event that the
Active Driving Assist system disables.
Always keep your hands on the steering wheel

PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA
Your vehicle is equipped with the ParkView Rear
Back Up Camera that allows you to see an
on-screen image of the rear surroundings of your
vehicle whenever the gear selector is put into
REVERSE and/or when the rear doors are opened.
The image will be displayed on the touchscreen
display along with a caution note to “Check Entire
Surroundings” across the top of the screen. After five seconds this note will disappear. The ParkView
Rear Back Up Camera is located on the top rear of
the vehicle below the center light.

Rear Back Up Camera Location

When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE and/or
when the rear doors are closed, the rear camera
mode is exited and the previous screen appears.
When engaged in the REVERSE gear, with Camera
Delay turned on, the camera image will continue to
be displayed for up to 10 seconds after switching
out of the REVERSE position, unless the speed of
the vehicle does not exceed 8 mph (13 km/h), or
that the gear is placed in the NEUTRAL or PARK
position. The touchscreen X button to disable the
camera image is made available ONLY when the
vehicle is not in REVERSE.
NOTE:The image displayed on the display may appear
slightly deformed.
When displayed, active grid lines will illustrate the
width of the vehicle and will show separate zones
that will help indicate the distance to the rear of
the vehicle. The following table shows the
approximate distances for each zone:
Zone Distance To The Rear Of The
Vehicle
Red 0 - 1 ft (0 - 30 cm)
Yellow 1 ft - 3 ft (30 cm - 1 m) Green 3 ft or greater (1 m or greater)
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even
when using the Rear Back Up Camera. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, and be
sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before
backing up. You are responsible for the safety
of your surroundings and must continue to pay
attention while backing up. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.

REFUELING THE VEHICLE
The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door on
the left side of the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or
damaged, be sure to use the correct replacement
cap for this vehicle.

1. Open the fuel filler door.

2. Remove the fuel cap by rotating it counter-
clockwise.

Fuel Filler

3. Fully insert the fuel nozzle into the filler pipe.
4. Fill the vehicle with fuel.
NOTE:
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off,
the fuel tank is full.
Wait five seconds before removing the fuel
nozzle to allow excess fuel to drain from the
nozzle. 5. Remove the fuel nozzle, reinstall fuel cap and
close fuel filler door.
NOTE:During fuel fill, nozzle position could affect the flow
of fuel. For best results, allow the nozzle to rest
naturally in the filler tube - do not raise the handle
to increase the fill angle.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even
when using the Surround View Camera. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, and be
sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before
backing up. You are responsible for the safety of
your surroundings and must continue to pay
attention while backing up. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
To avoid vehicle damage, Surround View
should only be used as a parking aid.
The Surround View camera is unable to view
every obstacle or object in your drive path.
To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle must be
driven slowly when using Surround View to
be able to stop in time when an obstacle is
seen. It is recommended that the driver look
frequently over his/her shoulder when using
Surround View.
WARNING!
Never have any smoking materials lit in or
near the vehicle when the fuel door is open or
the tank is being filled.
Never add fuel when the engine is running.
This is in violation of most state and federal
fire regulations and may cause the Malfunc -
tion Indicator Light to turn on.
A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a vehicle.
You could be burned. Always place fuel
containers on the ground while filling.
CAUTION!
Damage to the fuel system or emissions
control system could result from using an
improper fuel tank filler tube cap.
A poorly fitting fuel filler cap could let impuri -
ties into the fuel system.
