used to hold the vehicle after coming to a
stop, and a noise may be noticed when the
brakes apply.
When driving on slippery roads, it is
recommended to turn off One-Pedal Driving
for maximum vehicle stability. SeeWinter
Driving 0191.
One-Pedal Driving is a useful feature when
towing a trailer, however, using the brake
pedal may be required to slow down and
hold the vehicle with large loads or steep
hills. Trailer brakes are only activated with
the brake pedal but trailer brake lights will
be functional during substantial deceleration
or when the vehicle is stopped. See Trailer
Towing 0297.
While using One-Pedal Driving, the Electric
Parking Brake (EPB) may apply in some
circumstances. This can occur when:
.The driver exits the vehicle.
.The vehicle has remained stationary for
five minutes.
To resume driving, press the accelerator

Drive Systems
Four-Wheel Drive
This vehicle is equipped with advanced
electric four-wheel drive (e4WD). The e4WD
system delivers power to all four wheels,
and the system adjusts automatically to the
driving conditions. The e4WD system
continuously varies the drive power to the
front and rear wheels to maximize driving
efficiency and improve driving dynamics.
Your vehicle has exceptional driving
capability, but care must always be taken to
adjust driving style to the traffic and road
conditions.
Torque Vectoring
If equipped, the torque vectoring feature of
e4WD enhances vehicle performance by
focusing the vehicle torque to the optimal
wheel(s).
The vehicle e4WD settings may be
customized for the driver mode selected. See
Driver Mode Control 0209 for more
information.
Brakes
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
The Antilock Brake System (ABS) helps
prevent a braking skid and maintain steering
while braking hard.
If there is a problem with ABS, this warning
light stays on. See Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light 0116.
ABS does not change the time needed to
get a foot on the brake pedal and does not
always decrease stopping distance. If you
get too close to the vehicle ahead, there will
not be enough time to apply the brakes if
that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always
leave enough room ahead to stop, even
with ABS.
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake
pedal down firmly. Hearing and feeling ABS
operate is normal.

If the air suspension is under heavy use, the
system may temporarily suspend all height
changes to allow the compressor to cool
down. When this occurs and a heightchange is requested, the message LEVELING
SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE will display in the
instrument cluster.
Air Suspension Service
If a SERVICE LEVELING SYSTEM message
displays in the instrument cluster, see your
authorized dealer immediately.
Cruise Control
If equipped, cruise control allows the vehicle
to maintain a set speed of 40 km/h
(25 mph) or more without active
acceleration. Cruise control does not work at
speeds below 40 km/h (25 mph).
{Warning
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you cannot drive safely at a steady
speed. Do not use cruise control on
winding roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.
Cruise control will disengage if:
.The Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system begins to limit wheel spin.
See
Traction Control/Electronic Stability
Control 0207.
.TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC is turned off.
.A collision alert occurs. See Forward
Collision Alert (FCA) System 0261.
.The brakes are applied.

To turn off Speed Limiter, from the
infotainment home screen, touch Controls >
Drive (Drive & Park) > Speed Limiter > Off.
Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced)
If equipped, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
allows the cruise control set speed and
following gap to be selected. Read this
entire section before using this system. The
following gap is the following time (or
distance) between your vehicle and a vehicle
detected directly ahead in your path,
moving in the same direction. If no vehicle
is detected in your path, ACC works like
regular cruise control. ACC uses a camera
and radar sensor(s) to detect other vehicles.
See Radio Frequency Statement 0404.
If a vehicle is detected in your path, ACC can
apply acceleration or limited, moderate
braking to maintain the selected following
gap. To disengage ACC, apply the brake
pedal or press
*. If ACC is controlling the
vehicle speed when the Traction Control
System (TCS) or StabiliTrak/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system activates, ACC
may disengage. See Traction Control/
Electronic Stability Control 0207. When road
conditions allow ACC to be safely used, ACC
can be turned back on.
