MINIMUM RISK MANEUVER
If the driver’s hands are removed from the steering
wheel, a counter will start in order to display and acti-
vate visual and acoustic alerts. When the absence of
hands is detected, the system will start Minimum Risk
Maneuver for bringing the vehicle in a safe position.
After 23 seconds from the absence of the hands on the
steering wheel, the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) sys-
tem will apply a brake jerk to warn the driver to take
vehicle control. If, after another 3 seconds the driver
does not take the control of the vehicle, the system will
apply a second brake jerk.
Subsequently, if the absence of hands on the steering
wheel persists, the system will apply an automatic brak-
ing intervention to bring the vehicle to the stop. As soon
as the standstill condition is reached, the hazard emer-
gency lights will be activated. Then, the system will
unlock the doors (if previously locked). If the driver
takes control of the vehicle during the Minimum Risk
Maneuver by placing the hands on the steering wheel
or pressing the pedal throttle, the system will behave
normally and the Minimum Risk Maneuver will be
stopped.
SYSTEM STATUS
Along with changes in the system’s indicator lights
(green, yellow, and red), the system can also issue a
steering wheel vibration to accompany these warnings.
The vibration warning (if enabled) will occur if the
vehicle crosses a lane marker, for example, when driv-
ing on a tight curve. This feature can be turned on or off
within the Uconnect system
page 136.
SYSTEM OPERATION/LIMITATIONS
WARNING!
Active Driving Assist is an SAE Level 2 Driver Assist
feature, requiring driver attention at all times. To pre-
vent serious injury or death:
•
Always remember that the Active Driver Assist sys-
tem is a convenience system that cannot accu-
rately detect all situations. Complete attention is
always required while driving even when using
ADA.
•
Always remain alert and be ready to take control of
the vehicle in the event that the Active Driving
Assist system disables.
•
Always keep your hands on the steering wheel
when the Active Driving Assist system is activated,
deactivated, or otherwise lacks full functionality as
described in this section.
(Continued)
WARNING!
•
Do not use a hand-held device when the Active
Driving Assist system is engaged.
•
Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and
pay attention to traffic conditions.
•
Do not place any objects on the steering wheel
(e.g. steering wheel covers) which could interfere
with the hand detection sensors.
•
Always pay attention to the road when using the
Active Driving Assist system. ADA will not steer to
avoid safety hazards, construction zones, objects,
or roadway impediments. You need to maintain
control to steer and brake the vehicle in such situ-
ations and when merging into traffic, entering the
highway, making a turn for crossing traffic, or stop-
ping for traffic control devices.
The Active Driving Assist system
DOES NOT:
•
Warn or prevent collisions with other vehicles
•
Steer your vehicle around stopped vehicles, slower
vehicles, construction equipment, pedestrians, or
animals
•
Respond to traffic lights or stop signs
•
Merge onto highways or exit off ramps
•
Turn your vehicle
•
Change lanes
•
React to cross traffic
NOTE:
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a core component of
ADA. For ACC system limitations
