LANE KEEPING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:
The system is designed to aid the driver. It is
not intended to replace the driver’s attention and judgment.
The driver is still responsible to drive with due care and attention.
The system detects unintentional drifting toward the outside of the lane
and alerts and/or aids the driver to stay in the lane through the steering
system and instrument cluster display. The system automatically detects
and tracks the road lane markings using a camera that is mounted
behind the interior rear view mirror.
Note:
The system works above 40 mph (64 km/h).
Note:
The system works as long as one lane marking can be detected by
the camera.
Note:
If the camera is blocked or if the windshield is damaged, the
system may not function.
Note:
When Aid mode is on and the system detects no driver steering
activity for a short period after system activation, the system alerts the
driver to keep their hands on the steering wheel. The system may detect
a light touch or grip on the steering wheel as hands-off driving.
Switching the System On and Off
Press the button located on the center console to switch the
system on or off.
Note:
The system on/off setting is stored until it is manual changed,
unless a MyKey® is detected. If a MyKey® is detected, the system is
defaulted to on and the mode is set to Alert.
Note:
If a MyKey® is detected, pressing the button will not affect the
on/off status of the system. Only the Mode and Intensity settings can be
changed when a MyKey® is present.
System Settings
The system has one standard feature setting and one optional setting
menu available. To view or adjust the settings, refer to the
Information
Displays
chapter. The last-known selection for each of these settings is
stored by the system. You do not need to readjust your settings each
time you turn on the system.
