STARTING AND OPERATING



The gear selector is removed from the DRIVE

position.



The Electronic Stability Control/Traction

Control System (ESC/TCS) activates.



The vehicle parking brake is applied.



Driver seat belt is unbuckled at low speeds.



Driver door is opened at low speeds.



A Trailer Sway Control (TSC) event occurs.



The driver switches ESC to Full Off mode.



The braking temperature exceeds normal

range (overheated).



The trailer brake is applied manually

(if equipped).

The following conditions will only cancel the ACC

system:



Driver seat belt is unbuckled at low speeds



Driver door is opened at low speeds

To Turn Off

The system will turn off and clear the set speed

in memory if:



The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) on/off

button is pushed



The Fixed Speed Cruise Control on/off button

is pushed



The ignition is placed in the OFF position



4WD Low is engaged

To Resume

If there is a set speed in memory push the RES

(+) button and then remove your foot from the

accelerator pedal. The instrument cluster

display will display the last set speed.
Resume can be used at any speed above

20 mph (32 km/h) when only Fixed Speed

Cruise Control is being used.
Resume can be used at any speed above 0 mph

(0 km/h) when ACC is active.

NOTE:



While in ACC mode when the vehicle comes

to a complete stop longer than two seconds,

the system will cancel. The driver will have

to apply the brakes to keep the vehicle at a

standstill.



ACC cannot be resumed if there is a

stationary vehicle in front of your vehicle in

close proximity.

WARNING!

The Resume function should only be used if

traffic and road conditions permit. Resuming

a set speed that is too high or too low for

prevailing traffic and road conditions could

cause the vehicle to accelerate or decelerate

too sharply for safe operation. Failure to

follow these warnings can result in a collision

and death or serious personal injury.

STARTING AND OPERATING

171

To Vary The Speed Setting

To Increase Or Decrease The Set Speed
After setting a speed, you can increase the

set speed by pushing the RES (+) button, or

decrease speed by pushing the SET (-) button.

U.S. Speed (mph)



Pushing the RES (+) button, or SET (-) button

once will result in a 1 mph speed adjustment.

Each subsequent tap of the button results in

an adjustment of 1 mph.



If the button is continually pushed, the set

speed will continue to adjust in 5 mph incre

-

ments until the button is released. The new

set speed is reflected in the instrument

cluster display.

Metric Speed (km/h)



Pushing the RES (+) button, or SET (-) button

once will result in a 1 km/h speed adjust

-

ment. Each subsequent tap of the button

results in an adjustment of 1 km/h.



If the button is continually pushed, the set

speed will continue to adjust in 10 km/h

increments until the button is released.

The new set speed is reflected in the instru

-

ment cluster display.

When An ACC Distance Is Also Set:



When you use the SET (-) button to decel

-

erate, if the engine’s braking power does not

slow the vehicle sufficiently to reach the set

speed, the brake system will automatically

slow the vehicle.



The ACC system applies the brake down to a

full stop when following the vehicle in front.

If your vehicle follows the vehicle in front to

a standstill, your vehicle will release the

brakes two seconds after coming to a

complete stop.



The ACC system maintains set speed when

driving uphill and downhill. However, a slight

speed change on moderate hills is normal.

In addition, downshifting may occur while

climbing uphill or descending downhill. This

is normal operation and necessary to main

-

tain set speed. When driving uphill and

down

-

hill, the ACC system will cancel if the

braking

temperature exceeds normal range

(over

-

heated).

Setting The Following Distance In ACC

The specified following distance for Adaptive

Cruise Control (ACC) can be set by varying the

distance setting between four bars (longest),

three bars (long), two bars (medium) and one

bar (short). Using this distance setting and the

vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets the

distance to the vehicle ahead. This distance

setting displays in the instrument cluster display.

Distance Settings

1 — Longest Distance Setting (Four Bars)
2 — Long Distance Setting (Three Bars)
3 — Medium Distance Setting (Two Bars)
4 — Short Distance Setting (One Bar)

4

172

STARTING AND OPERATING

To adjust the distance setting, push the

Distance Button and release. Each time the

button is pushed, the distance setting increases

by one bar (longer). When the farthest distance

is set, pushing the distance button again will

reset to the shortest distance.
If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle will

maintain the set speed. If a slower moving

vehicle is detected in the same lane, the

instrument cluster displays the ACC Set With

Target Detected Indicator Light, and the system

adjusts vehicle speed automatically to maintain

the distance setting, regardless of the set speed.
The vehicle will then maintain the set distance

until:



The vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed

above the set speed.



The vehicle ahead moves out of your lane or

view of the sensor.



The distance setting is changed.



The system disengages.

The maximum braking applied by ACC is limited;

however, the driver can always apply the brakes

manually, if necessary.

NOTE:

The brake lights will illuminate whenever the

ACC system applies the brakes.

A Proximity Warning will alert the driver if ACC

predicts that its maximum braking level is not

sufficient to maintain the set distance. If this

occurs, a visual alert “BRAKE” will flash in the

instrument cluster display and a chime will

sound while ACC continues to apply its

maximum braking force.

NOTE:

The “BRAKE!” screen in the instrument cluster

display is a warning for the driver to take action

and does not necessarily mean that the

Forward Collision Warning system is applying

the brakes autonomously.

Overtake Aid

When driving with ACC engaged and following a

vehicle, the system will provide an additional

acceleration up to the ACC set speed to assist in

passing the vehicle. This additional

acceleration is triggered when the driver

utilizes the left turn signal and will only be

active when passing on the left hand side.

ACC Operation At Stop

If the ACC system brings your vehicle to a

standstill while following the vehicle in front,

your vehicle will resume motion without any

driver intervention if the vehicle in front starts

moving within two seconds.

Trailer Detect — If Equipped
When a trailer is detected, the ACC system

automatically defaults to the longest setting

(four bars). The setting can be overridden by

pushing the Distance Button on the steering

wheel.

STARTING AND OPERATING

173

If the vehicle in front does not start moving

within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a

standstill, the ACC with Stop system will

cancel and the brakes will release. A cancel

message will display on the instrument cluster

display and produce a warning chime. The

driver must now manually operate the

vehicle's accelerator and brakes.

While ACC is holding your vehicle at a

standstill, if the driver seat belt is unbuckled

or the driver door is opened, the ACC system

will cancel and the brakes will release. Driver

intervention will be required at this moment.

Display Warnings And Maintenance

“Wipe Front Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle”

Warning

The “ACC/FCW Unavailable Wipe Front Radar

Sensor” warning will display and a chime will

sound when conditions temporarily limit system

performance.
This most often occurs at times of poor visibility,

such as in snow or heavy rain. The ACC system

may also become temporarily blinded due to

obstructions, such as mud, dirt or ice. In these

cases, the instrument cluster display will display

“ACC/FCW Unavailable Wipe Front Radar

Sensor” and the system will deactivate.
This message can sometimes be displayed while

driving in highly reflective areas (i.e. ice and snow, or

tunnels with reflective tiles). The ACC system will

recover after the vehicle has left these areas. Under

rare conditions, when the radar is not tracking any

vehicles or objects in its path this warning may

temporarily occur.

NOTE:

If the “ACC/FCW Unavailable Wipe Front Radar

Sensor” warning is active, Fixed Speed Cruise

Control is still available.

If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver

should examine the sensor. It may require

cleaning or removal of an obstruction. The sensor

is located in the camera in the center of the

windshield, on the forward side of the rearview

mirror.
To keep the ACC system operating properly, it is

important to note the following maintenance

items:



Always keep the sensor clean. Carefully clear

the windshield.



Do not remove any screws from the sensor.

Doing so could cause an ACC system

malfunction or failure and require a sensor

realignment.



Do not attach or install any accessories near

the sensor, including transparent material or

aftermarket grilles. Doing so could cause an

ACC system failure or malfunction.

WARNING!

When the ACC system is resumed, the driver

must ensure that there are no pedestrians,

vehicles or objects in the path of the vehicle.

Failure to follow these warnings can result in a

collision and death or serious personal injury.

4

174

STARTING AND OPERATING

When the condition that deactivated the system

is no longer present, the system will return to

the “Adaptive Cruise Control Off” state and will

resume function by simply reactivating it.

NOTE:



If the “ACC/FCW Unavailable Wipe Front

Radar Sensor” message occurs frequently

(e.g. more than once on every trip) without

any snow, rain, mud, or other obstruction,

have the radar sensor realigned at an autho

-

rized dealer.



Installing a snow plow, front-end protector,

an aftermarket grille or modifying the grille is

not recommended. Doing so may block the

sensor and inhibit ACC/FCW operation.

“Clean Front Windshield” Warning

The “ACC/FCW Limited Functionality Clean

Front Windshield” warning will display and a

chime will sound when conditions temporarily

limit system performance. This most often

occurs at times of poor visibility, such as in

snow or heavy rain and fog. The ACC system

may also become temporarily blinded due to

obstructions, such as mud, dirt, or ice on

windshield, driving directly into the sun and fog

on the inside of glass. In these cases, the

instrument cluster display will show “ACC/FCW

Limited Functionality Clean Front Windshield”

and the system will have degraded

performance.
This message can sometimes be displayed

while driving in adverse weather conditions.

The ACC/FCW system will recover after the

vehicle has left these areas. Under rare

conditions, when the camera is not tracking

any vehicles or objects in its path this warning

may temporarily occur.

If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver

should examine the windshield and the camera

located on the back side of the inside rearview

mirror. They may require cleaning or removal of

an obstruction.
When the condition that created limited

functionality is no longer present, the system

will return to full functionality.

NOTE:

If the “ACC/FCW Limited Functionality Clean

Front Windshield” message occurs frequently

(e.g. more than once on every trip) without any

snow, rain, mud, or other obstruction, have

the windshield and forward facing camera

inspected at an authorized dealer.

STARTING AND OPERATING

175

Service ACC/FCW Warning

If the system turns off, and the instrument cluster

displays “ACC/FCW Unavailable Service

Required” or “Cruise/FCW Unavailable Service

Required”, there may be an internal system fault

or a temporary malfunction that limits ACC

functionality. Although the vehicle is still drivable

under normal conditions, ACC will be temporarily

unavailable. If this occurs, try activating ACC

again later, following an ignition cycle. If the

problem persists, see an authorized dealer.

Precautions While Driving With ACC

NOTE:



Aftermarket add-ons such as snow plows, lift

kits, and brush/grille bars can hinder module

performance. Ensure the radar/camera has

no obstructions in the field of view.



Height modifications can limit module perfor

-

mance and functionality.



Do not put stickers or easy passes over the

camera/radar field of view.



Any modifications to the vehicle that may

obstruct the field of view of the radar/camera

are not recommended.

In certain driving situations, ACC may have

detection issues. In these cases, ACC may

brake late or unexpectedly. The driver needs

to stay alert and may need to intervene.

The following are examples of these types of

situations:

Towing A Trailer

ACC while towing a trailer is recommended only

with an Integrated Trailer Brake Controller.

Aftermarket trailer brake controllers will not

activate the trailer brakes when ACC is braking.

Offset Driving

ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane

that is offset from your direct line of travel, or a

vehicle merging in from a side lane. There may

not be sufficient distance to the vehicle ahead.

The offset vehicle may move in and out of the

line of travel, which can cause your vehicle to

brake or accelerate unexpectedly.

Offset Driving Condition Example

4

176

STARTING AND OPERATING

Turns And Bends

When driving on a curve with ACC engaged, the

system may decrease the vehicle speed and

acceleration for stability reasons, with no target

vehicle detected. Once the vehicle is out of the

curve the system will resume your original set

speed. This is a part of normal ACC system

functionality.

NOTE:

On tight turns ACC performance may be limited.

The driver must maintain control of the vehicle,

remain alert, and be ready to apply the brakes if

needed.

Turn Or Bend Example

Using ACC On Hills

When driving on hills, ACC may not detect a vehicle

in your lane. Depending on the speed, vehicle load,

traffic conditions, and the steepness of the hills,

ACC performance may be limited.

NOTE:

The driver must maintain control of the vehicle,

remain alert, and be ready to apply the brakes if

needed.

ACC Hill Example

Lane Changing

ACC may not detect a vehicle until it is completely

in the lane in which you are traveling. In the

illustration shown, ACC has not yet detected the

vehicle changing lanes and it may not detect the

vehicle until it's too late for the ACC system to

take action. ACC may not detect a vehicle until

it is completely in the lane. There may not be

sufficient distance to the lane-changing vehicle.

Always be attentive and ready to apply the brakes

if necessary.

Lane Changing Example

STARTING AND OPERATING

177

Narrow Vehicles

Some narrow vehicles traveling near the outer

edges of the lane or edging into the lane are not

detected until they have moved fully into the

lane. There may not be sufficient distance to the

vehicle ahead.

Narrow Vehicle Example

Stationary Objects And Vehicles

ACC does not react to stationary objects and

stationary vehicles. For example, ACC will not react

in situations where the vehicle you are following

exits your lane and the vehicle ahead is stopped in

your lane. Always be attentive and ready to apply the

brakes if necessary

Stationary Object And Stationary Vehicle Example

PARKSENSE FRONT/REAR PARK ASSIST —

IF EQUIPPED

The ParkSense Park Assist system provides visual

and audible indications of the distance between the

rear, and/or front fascia/bumper, and a detected

obstacle when backing up or moving forward (e.g.

during a parking maneuver). For limitations of this

system and recommendations, see

Ú

page 182.

ParkSense will retain the system state (enabled

or disabled) from the previous ignition cycle

when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN

position.
ParkSense can be active only when the gear

selector is in REVERSE or DRIVE. If ParkSense is

enabled at one of these gear selector positions,

the system will remain active until the vehicle

speed is increased to approximately 7 mph

(11 km/h) or above. A warning will appear in the

instrument cluster display when the vehicle is

in REVERSE, indicating the vehicle is above

ParkSense operating speed. The system will

become active again if the vehicle speed is

decreased to speeds less than approximately

6 mph (9 km/h).

For the 3500, 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cab

vehicles, the rear ParkSense sensors are

shipped loose. Please refer to the Ram Body

Builders Guide for more information.
The four ParkSense sensors are to be located in

the rear fascia/bumper, and monitor the area

behind the vehicle that is within the sensors’

field of view.
The sensors can detect obstacles from

approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to

79 inches (200 cm) from the rear fascia/

bumper in the horizontal direction, depending

on the location, type and orientation of the

obstacle.

NOTE:

If equipped as a dually, the ParkSense system

has six rear sensors to assist in detection

around the dually flares.

The six ParkSense sensors, located in the front

fascia/bumper, monitor the area in front of the

vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view.

The sensors can detect obstacles from

approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 47 inches

RECAUTIONS

NOTE:



Ensure that the front and rear bumpers are

free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to keep

the ParkSense system operating properly.



Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations

could affect the performance of ParkSense.



When you move the gear selector to the

REVERSE position and Front or Rear ParkSense

is turned off, the instrument cluster display will

show "Off" on the vehicle graphic arcs. This

vehicle graphic will be displayed for as long as

the vehicle is in REVERSE.



ParkSense, when on, will reduce the volume

of the radio when it is sounding a tone.



Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly,

taking care not to scratch or damage them.

The sensors must not be covered with ice,

snow, slush, mud, dirt or debris. Failure to do

so can result in the system not working prop

-

erly. The ParkSense system might not detect

an obstacle behind or in front of the fascia/

bumper, or it could provide a false indication

that an obstacle is behind or in front of the

fascia/bumper.



Use the ParkSense switch to turn the Park

-

Sense system off if obstacles such as bicycle

carriers, trailer hitches, etc. are placed within

18 inches (45 cm) from the rear fascia/

bumper. Failure to do so can result in the

system misinterpreting a close obstacle as a

sensor problem, causing the “Front/Rear

ParkSense Unavailable Service Required”

message to be appear in the instrument

cluster display.

PERATION

The LaneSense system is operational at speeds

above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph

(180 km/h). It uses a forward looking camera to

detect lane markings and measure vehicle

position within the lane boundaries.
When both lane markings are detected and the

driver drifts out of the lane (no turn signal has

been applied) OR the driver departs the lane on

the opposite side of the applied turn signal

(if the left turn signal is applied and the vehicle

departs to the right), the LaneSense system

provides a haptic warning in the form of torque

applied to the steering wheel, as well as a visual

warning in the instrument cluster display to

prompt the driver to remain within the lane

boundaries.
The driver may manually override the haptic

warning by applying torque into the steering

wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected

and the driver drifts across that lane marking

(no turn signal applied), the LaneSense system

provides a visual warning through the

instrument cluster display to prompt the driver

to remain within the lane.
When only a single lane marking is detected, a

haptic (torque) warning will not be provided.

NOTE:

When operating conditions have been met, the

LaneSense system will monitor if the driver’s

hands are on the steering wheel and provide

an audible and visual warning to the driver if

removed. The system will cancel if the driver

does not return their hands to the wheel.

WARNING!



Drivers must be careful when backing up

even when using ParkSense. Always check

carefully behind your vehicle, look behind

you, and be sure to check for pedestrians,

animals, other vehicles, obstructions, and

blind spots before backing up. You are

responsible for safety and must continue to

pay attention to your surroundings. Failure to

do so can result in serious injury or death.



Before using ParkSense, it is strongly

recommended that the ball mount and

hitch ball assembly be disconnected from

the vehicle when the vehicle is not used for

towing. Failure to do so can result in injury

or damage to vehicles or obstacles

because the hitch ball will be much closer

to the obstacle than the rear fascia when

the vehicle sounds the continuous tone.

Also, the sensors could detect the ball

mount and hitch ball assembly, depending

on its size and shape, giving a false indica

-

tion that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.

CAUTION!



ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is

unable to recognize every obstacle, including

small obstacles. Parking curbs might be

temporarily detected or not detected at all.

Obstacles located above or below the

sensors will not be detected when they are in

close proximity.



The vehicle must be driven slowly when

using ParkSense in order to be able to stop

in time when an obstacle is detected. It is

recommended that the driver looks over

his/her shoulder when using ParkSense.

system is "armed" to provide visual warnings

in the instrument cluster display and a torque

warning in the steering wheel if an uninten

-

tional lane departure occurs. The lane lines

turn from gray to white and the LaneSense
telltale is solid green.

Lanes Sensed (White Lines) With Green Telltale



When the LaneSense system senses a lane

drift situation, the left lane line turns solid
yellow. The LaneSense telltale changes

from solid green to solid yellow. At this time

torque is applied to the steering wheel in the

opposite direction of the lane boundary.
For example: If approaching the left side of the

lane the steering wheel will turn to the right.

Lane Approached (Solid Yellow Lane Line) With Solid

Yellow Telltale



When the LaneSense system senses the lane

has been approached and is in a lane depar

-

ture situation, the left lane line flashes yellow
(on/off). The LaneSense telltale changes

from solid yellow to flashing yellow. At this

time torque is applied to the steering wheel in

the opposite direction of the lane boundary.
For example: If approaching the left side of the

lane the steering wheel will turn to the right.

Lane Crossed (Flashing Yellow Lane Line) With

Flashing Yellow Telltale

NOTE:

The LaneSense system operates with similar

behavior for a right lane departure.
