WHAT IS THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM

The lane keeping system alerts you by
providing temporary steering assistance
or steering wheel vibration when it detects
an unintended lane departure.

HOW DOES THE LANE
KEEPING SYSTEM WORK

The lane keeping system uses a forward
looking camera mounted on the windshield
to monitor vehicle movement within the
travel lane.

When the camera detects a drift out of the
travel lane, the lane keeping system alerts
the driver by vibrating the steering wheel,
or aids the driver by providing a small
steering input to move the vehicle back
into the travel lane.

The driver can select one of three modes:

•

Alert (If Equipped)

•

Aid

•

Alert + Aid

LANE KEEPING SYSTEM
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

You are responsible for

controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death.

WARNING:

The system will not

operate if the sensor cannot track the
road lane markings.

WARNING:

The sensor may

incorrectly track lane markings as other
structures or objects. This can result in
a false or missed warning.

WARNING:

In cold and severe

weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all
limit sensor performance.

WARNING:

The system may not

operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from
obstruction.

WARNING:

If damage occurs in the

immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.

WARNING:

The system may not

correctly operate if your vehicle is fitted
with a suspension kit not approved by
us.

WARNING:

Large contrasts in

outside lighting can limit sensor
performance.

LANE KEEPING SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS

The lane keeping system only operates
when the vehicle speed is greater than
40 mph (64 km/h).

The system works when the camera can
detect at least one lane marking.

The lane keeping system may not correctly
operate in any of the following conditions:
•

The lane keeping system does not
detect at least one lane marking.

•

You switch the turn signal on.

249

Lane Keeping System

(If Equipped)

•

You apply direct steering, accelerate
fast or brake hard.

•

The vehicle speed is less than 40 mph
(64 km/h).

•

traction control system activates.

•

The lane is too narrow.

•

Something is obscuring the camera or
it is unable to detect the lane markings
due to environment, traffic or vehicle
conditions.

The lane keeping system may not correct
lane positioning in any of the following
conditions:
•

High winds.

•

Uneven road surfaces.

•

Heavy or uneven loads.

•

Incorrect tire pressure.

SWITCHING THE LANE
KEEPING SYSTEM ON AND
OFF

E308131

MyKey™, it defaults to the last setting for
that MyKey™.

Note:

If the system detects a MyKey™,

pressing the button does not affect the on
or off status of the system. You can only
change the mode and intensity settings.

SWITCHING THE LANE
KEEPING SYSTEM MODE

The lane keeping system has different
settings that you can view or adjust using
the information display.

The system stores the last known selection
for each of these settings. You do not need
to readjust your settings each time you
switch on the system.

the lane.

ALERT AND AID MODE

WHAT IS ALERT AND AID MODE

Alert and aid mode uses multiple features
to keep you in your lane. The system first
provides a small steering input to bring
your vehicle back towards the center of
the lane. If your vehicle moves too far out
of the center of the lane the system alerts
you with vibration in the steering wheel.

WHAT IS BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM

Blind spot information system detects
vehicles that may have entered the blind
spot zone.

HOW DOES BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM WORK

sensors on both sides of your vehicle,
detecting rearward from the exterior
mirrors to approximately 13 ft (4 m)
beyond the rear bumper. The detection
area extends to approximately 59 ft (18 m)
beyond the rear bumper when the vehicle
speed is greater than 30 mph (48 km/h)
to alert you of faster approaching vehicles.

The sensors are behind the rear fascia
panel.

Note:

Keep the sensors free from snow, ice

and large accumulations of dirt.

Note:

Do not cover the sensors with bumper

stickers, repair compound or other objects.

Note:

Bike and cargo racks could cause

false alerts due to obstruction of the sensor.
We recommend switching the feature off
when using a bike or cargo rack.

Note:

Blocked sensors may affect system

accuracy.

If the sensors become blocked, a message

WHAT IS CROSS TRAFFIC
ALERT

The system alerts you of vehicles
approaching from the sides behind your
vehicle when you shift into reverse (R).

HOW DOES CROSS TRAFFIC
ALERT WORK

Cross traffic alert detects vehicles that
approach at a speed between 4–37 mph
(6–60 km/h). Coverage decreases when
the sensors are partially, mostly or fully
obstructed.

E142440

The sensor on the left-hand side is only
partially obstructed and zone coverage on
the right-hand side is maximized.

E142441

Zone coverage also decreases when
parking at narrow angles. The sensor on
the left-hand side is mostly obstructed and
zone coverage on that side is severely
reduced.

Note:

Slowly reversing helps increase the

coverage area and effectiveness.

CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Do not use the cross

traffic alert system as a replacement for
using the interior and exterior mirrors or
looking over your shoulder before
reversing out of a parking space. The
cross traffic alert system is not a
replacement for careful driving.

WARNING:

The system may not

operate properly during severe weather
conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy
rain and spray. Always drive with due
care and attention. Failure to take care
may result in a crash.

CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
