LIMITATIONS

WARNING: Pay close attention to

changing road conditions. You may need

to override the system by pressing the

brake or accelerator pedal if the adjusted

speed becomes higher or lower than

necessary.

WARNING: The system may not

always adjust vehicle speed in certain

road or weather conditions such as

crossing traffic, yield or stop signs, right

of way, traffic lights, speed bumps, rain,

snow, fog. You must always apply the

brake or accelerator pedal when

necessary.

WARNING: The system only

provides limited braking. Your vehicle

may not always decelerate quickly

enough to avoid a crash without driver

intervention. Apply the brakes when

necessary.

The road geometry and speed limit

information provided by the navigation

map data could be inaccurate or out of

date.

WARNING: The system does not

activate the turn signal.

The system may not detect and read

speed limit signs with conditional

information, for example, when a sign is

flashing, during specific time ranges, or

when children are present.

Note: The system does not set the vehicle

speed to speed limits shown with a

supplementary traffic sign.

Under certain conditions, the system may

not adjust the vehicle speed until after your

vehicle passes the speed limit.

Detection of road geometry operates only

where related information is available.

Road geometry information may not be

available in some areas.

Adaptive cruise control precautions apply

to predictive speed assist unless stated

otherwise or contradicted by a predictive

speed assist precaution. See Adaptive

Cruise Control Precautions (page 342).

The system only applies limited braking.

You can override the system with the

accelerator pedal or cancel the system by

applying the brakes.

The system may adapt to various factors

such as time of day, lane width. This could

Malfunction

A malfunction is preventing the adaptive cruise from engaging.

Front Sensor Not Aligned Contact an authorized dealer to have the radar checked for

proper coverage and operation.

Adaptive Cruise Not

Available

Conditions exist preventing the system from being available.

Adaptive Cruise Not

Available Sensor

You have a blocked radar because of poor radar visibility due

to inclement weather or ice, mud, or water in front of the radar.

You can typically clean the sensor to resolve this.

Due to the nature of radar technology, it is possible to get a

blockage warning with no actual block. This happens, for

example, when driving in sparse rural or desert environments.

A false blocked condition either self clears, or clears after you

restart your vehicle.

WHAT IS BLUECRUISE

conditions.

BlueCruise keeps your vehicle centered in

the lane and offers a hands-free driving

mode in certain situations when using

adaptive cruise control.

BLUECRUISE PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: You are responsible for

keeping your eyes on the road 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.

HOW DOES BLUECRUISE

WORK

BlueCruise uses cameras to monitor your

vehicle position within a lane and applies

steering support to keep your vehicle

centered in the lane.

Using the cameras and location

information, BlueCruise allows you to

remove your hands from the steering wheel

and offers a hands-free driving mode in

certain areas.

When active, BlueCruise uses a driver

facing camera and infrared lighting to

monitor your eyes and head position to

detect if you are distracted. If the system

determines you are distracted, it alerts you

to return your eyes to the road.

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: Do not use the system

when towing a trailer. Failure to follow

this instruction could result in the loss of

control of your vehicle, personal injury or

death.

WARNING: Obstructions to the

driver facing camera or infrared lighting

could prevent the system from properly

operating. Keep the camera and lighting

areas free from obstruction. Failure to

follow this instruction could result in the

loss of control of your vehicle, personal

injury or death.

Camera.

Note: When BlueCruise is active, in certain

crash or near crash-like situations, such as

an air bag deployment or hitting a road

obstacle, camera data may record through

the vehicle event data recorder. See Event

Data (page 30).
