Switching the System Off

Note: The set speed memory erases when
you switch off the system.

Press and release OFF or switch off the
ignition.

Detection Issues

WARNING

On rare occasions, detection issues
can occur due to the road
infrastructures, for example bridges,

tunnels and safety barriers. In these cases,
the system may brake late or
unexpectedly. At all times, you are
responsible for controlling your vehicle,
supervising the system and intervening, if
required.

The radar sensor has a limited field of
vision. It may not detect vehicles at all or
detect a vehicle later than expected in
some situations. The lead vehicle graphic
does not illuminate if the system does not
detect a vehicle in front of you.

E71621

Detection issues can occur:

When driving on a different line
than the vehicle in front.

A

With vehicles that edge into your
lane. The system can only detect
these vehicles once they move
fully into your lane.

B

There may be issues with the
detection of vehicles in front
when driving into and coming out
of a bend or curve in the road.

C

In these cases the system may brake late
or unexpectedly. Stay alert and take action
when necessary.

(If Equipped)

If something hits the front end of your
vehicle or damage occurs, the
radar-sensing zone may change. This could
cause missed or false vehicle detections.
Contact an authorized dealer to have them
check for proper coverage and operation.

System Not Available

Conditions that can cause the system to
deactivate or prevent the system from
activating when requested include:
•

A blocked sensor.

•

High brake temperature.

•

A failure in the system or a related
system.

Note: If you disable electronic stability
control, adaptive cruise control is not
available. See Using Stability Control
(page 227).

Blocked Sensor

E183741

A message displays if something obstructs
the radar signals from the sensor. The
sensor is behind a cover near the driver side
of the lower grille. The system cannot
detect a vehicle ahead and does not
function when something obstructs the
radar signals. The following table lists
possible causes and actions for this
message displaying.

Action

Cause

Clean the grille surface in front of the radar
or remove the object causing the obstruc-
tion.

The surface of the radar in the grille is dirty
or obstructed in some way.

Wait a short time. It may take several
minutes for the radar to detect that it is free
from obstruction.

The surface of the radar in the grille is clean
but the message remains in the display.

Do not use the system in these conditions
because it may not detect any vehicles
ahead.

Heavy rain or snow is interfering with the
radar signals.

Do not use the system in these conditions
because it may not detect any vehicles
ahead.

Swirling water, or snow or ice on the surface
of the road may interfere with the radar
signals.

Wait a short time or switch to normal cruise
control.

You are in a desert or remote area with no
other vehicles and no roadside objects.

(If Equipped)

Due to the nature of radar technology, it is
possible to get a blockage warning and not
have a blockage. This can happen, for
example, when driving in sparse rural or
desert environments. A false blocked
condition either self clears or clears after
a key cycle.

Switching to Normal Cruise
Control

WARNING

Normal cruise control will not brake
when your vehicle is approaching
slower vehicles. Always be aware of

which mode you have selected and apply
the brakes when necessary.

You can manually change from adaptive
cruise control to normal cruise control
through the information display. See
Information Messages (page 128).

E71340

The cruise control indicator light
replaces the adaptive cruise
control indicator light if you

select normal cruise control. The gap
setting does not display, the system does
not automatically respond to lead vehicles
and automatic braking remains active to
maintain set speed. The system recalls its
last setting when you start your vehicle.

(If Equipped)

LANE KEEPING SYSTEM

(If

Equipped)

WARNING

The system is designed to aid the
driver. It is not intended to replace
your attention and judgment. You are

still responsible to drive with due care and
attention.

Note: The system works as long as the
camera can detect one lane marking at a
speed above 40 mph (64 km/h).

Note: The system may not function if the
camera is blocked or there is damage to the
windshield.

The Lane Keeping System automatically
detects and tracks the road lane markings
using a camera mounted behind the
interior review view mirror. The system
notifies you to stay in your lane when the
front camera detects an unintentional lane
change is likely to occur.

Switching the System On and Off

Note: The system on or off setting is stored
until it is manually changed, unless a MyKey
is detected. If the system detects a MyKey,
it defaults to on and the mode is set to alert.

Note: If a MyKey is detected, pressing the
button will not affect the on or off status of
the system. You can only change the mode
and intensity settings.

E173233

Press the button located on the
center console to switch the
system on or off.

System Settings

The system sensitivity and intensity can
be adjusted through the display screen.
See General Information (page 111). The
system remembers the last selection. You
do not need to readjust the setting each
time you turn on your vehicle.

Sensitivity: This setting allows you to
select where in the lane a warning is
provided. Increasing the sensitivity setting
moves the warning zones in closer to your
vehicle.

Note: The alert diagram illustrates general
zone coverage. It does not provide exact
zone parameters.

Intensity: This setting affects the intensity
of the steering wheel vibration. Increasing
the intensity causes a higher rate of haptic
feedback.
