The status bar will travel from left to right
as the calculated alertness level
decreases. As the rest icon is approached
the color turns from green to yellow and
then finally red when a rest break should
be taken.
• Green - No rest required.
• Yellow - First (temporary) warning.
• Red - Second warning.
Note: If you have recently received a
warning; you should consider resting, even
if the current assessment is with the typical
range.
Note: The alertness level will be shown in
grey if the camera sensor cannot track the
road lane markings or if the vehicle speed
drops below approximately 40 mph (65
km/h).
Resetting the System
You can reset the system by either:
• Switching the ignition off and on.
• Stopping the vehicle and then opening
and closing the driver’s door.
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.
Note: The system needs to be activated by
the driver at each key cycle.
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
continuous period of time, the system alerts
the driver to put their hands on the steering
wheel. The system may detect a light
grip/touch on the steering wheel as hands
off driving.
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.
Switching the System On and Off
Note: The system defaults to off each time
the vehicle is started, unless a MyKey® is
detected. If a MyKey® is detected, the
system is defaulted to on and the Alert
mode is automatically selected.
Note: If a MyKey® is detected, pressing the
button will not affect the on/off status of
the system. Only the Mode, Sensitivity and
Intensity settings can be changed when a
MyKey® is present.
To turn the system on, press the
button located on the left
steering wheel stalk. The button
must be pressed each time the vehicle is
started. The system can be turned off by
pressing the button again.
