Adaptive Cruise Control and Highway Assist systems, even under optimal conditions, are not a substitute for safe driving. See DreamDrive Limitations for details.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Warning: Adaptive Cruise Control is designed for your driving comfort and convenience and is not a collision warning or avoidance system. It is your responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, and be in control of the vehicle at all times. Never depend on Adaptive Cruise Control to adequately slow down the vehicle. Watch the road in front of you and be prepared to take corrective action at all times. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.

Warning: Never depend on Adaptive Cruise Control to brake for pedestrians, animals, or other objects. Always watch the road and be prepared to take corrective action. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.

Warning: Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control on city streets or on roads where traffic conditions are constantly changing.

Warning: Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect or brake for narrow vehicles, such as bicycles or motorcycles.

Warning: Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect stationary or slow-moving vehicles below 6 mph (10 km/h).

Warning: Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control on winding roads with sharp curves, on icy or slippery road surfaces, or when weather conditions, (e.g., heavy rain, snow, or fog), make it inappropriate to drive at a consistent speed. Adaptive Cruise Control does not adapt driving speed based on road and driving conditions.

Warning: Temporarily turn off Adaptive Cruise Control when driving in areas where you must reduce speed, (e.g., turn lanes, entering and exiting highways, or construction zones). This prevents the vehicle from accelerating to the stored speed in such situations.

When engaged, Adaptive Cruise Control uses data from the vehicle’s exterior sensors to automatically adjust your cruising speed, maintaining a safe distance from any vehicles ahead. The default distance maintained is the furthest allowed. See Adjusting following distance.

Adaptive Cruise Control is primarily intended for driving on dry, straight roads with no stops or sharp curves, such as highways and freeways.

Adaptive Cruise Control will issue a takeover request if it cannot safely brake the vehicle.

Note: The Adaptive Cruise Control system will disengage and apply the Emergency Parking Brake (EPB) if your vehicle stops behind another vehicle and remains stationary for more than 10 minutes.

Setting and Changing Cruising Speed

Press the DreamDrive button on the steering wheel to activate Adaptive Cruise Control. See Steering Wheel DreamDrive Controls.

Note: DreamDrive Mode will default to Highway Assist for first-time users. When a user profile is active, the system will go to the last used DreamDrive Mode, (Adaptive Cruise Control or Highway Assist). If Highway Assist is activated, press and hold the

DreamDrive button to switch to Adaptive Cruise Control.

To set the cruising speed:

Push the left toggle up or down to adjust the speed by ±1 increment.
Push and hold the left toggle up or down to adjust the set speed by ±5 increments.

Minimum speed: 20 mph (30 km/h)

Maximum speed: 90 mph (150 km/h)

The cruising speed displays to the right of the speedometer on the Glass Cockpit Panel and is highlighted when Adaptive Cruise Control is active. Cruising speed can be changed using the same controls once activated.

Cruising Speed

Warning: Occasionally, Adaptive Cruise Control may brake late or unexpectedly due to following a vehicle too closely, or if detection issues occur due to road infrastructure, (e.g., curves, bridges, or tunnels). The driver is responsible for watching the road, controlling the vehicle, and intervening if required, at all times.

Adaptive Cruise Control maintains your selected cruising speed when a vehicle is not detected in front of you.

When cruising behind a detected vehicle, (highlighted in the center Glass Cockpit Panel), Adaptive Cruise Control will accelerate and decelerate the vehicle, as needed, to maintain the set following distance up to the set speed. See Adjusting following distance.

Adopting New Speed Limits

Cruise Speed Update will prompt you on the Glass Cockpit Panel when a new speed limit is detected. Press the left toggle button on the steering wheel to update the cruising speed to the new speed limit.

If you do not wish to update the cruising speed, the prompt will disappear after 7 seconds.

Note: You can disable the option of receiving speed limit change prompts from Cruise Speed Update.

Driver Override

Warning: Adaptive Cruise Control will not apply the brakes to maintain the set following distance from a vehicle ahead during Driver Override.

You can temporarily override the set speed using the accelerator pedal while Adaptive Cruise Control is active. Adaptive Cruise Control will disengage if it is overridden for more than 60 seconds.

The center glass Cockpit Panel will display the following when you press the accelerator pedal:

The ADAPTIVE CRUISE display will change to OVERRIDE.
The lane display will no longer be highlighted, (despite usually being highlighted when Adaptive Cruise Control is active).
The target vehicle will not be highlighted.

Once the accelerator is released, Adaptive Cruise Control should automatically resume and return to the cruise speed set by the driver. The Glass Cockpit Panel displays the active Adaptive Cruise Control mode.

Adjusting Following Distance

Warning: It is your responsibility as the driver to determine and maintain a safe following distance at all times. Do not rely on Adaptive Cruise Control to maintain an accurate or appropriate following distance.

Warning: Never depend on Adaptive Cruise Control to adequately slow down the vehicle to avoid a collision. Always watch the road in front of you and be prepared to take corrective action at all times. Failure to do so can result in a collision with the risk of serious injury or death.

To adjust the vehicle’s time gap settings from the vehicle ahead, press the button on the steering wheel. See Steering Wheel DreamDrive Controls. There are four time gap settings to select from, which will cycle as the button is pressed.

The change in the time gap settings displays on the center Glass Cockpit Panel.

Cancel and Resume Cruise Control

To cancel Adaptive Cruise Control, press the Cancel button on the steering wheel. See Steering Wheel DreamDrive Controls for more information.

Press the brake pedal, (if it is safe to do so in the current traffic conditions), to cancel the system.

After Adaptive Cruise Control has been canceled, you can resume the previously set speed by toggling up the left steering wheel control.

Highway Assist

The Highway Assist system detects lane markings to actively steer and center your vehicle in the lane while detecting the presence of other vehicles in your lane in front of you and adjusting your speed to help you maintain a safe following distance.

Note: Highway Assist is only available in certain regions and in vehicles equipped with DreamDrive Pro.

Warning: Highway Assist is designed for your driving comfort and convenience and is not a collision warning or avoidance system. It is your responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, and be in control of the vehicle at all times.

Warning: Never depend on Highway Assist to adequately steer the vehicle. Always keep your hands on the steering wheel, watch the road in front of you, and be prepared to take corrective action. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.

Warning: A warning will show if Highway Assist reaches its limits. Always keep your hands on the steering wheel, watch the road in front of you, and be prepared to take corrective action. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.

Warning: Detection of lane markings and objects may malfunction, causing Highway Assist to make unexpected steering interventions. If this happens, the driver is responsible to steer according to traffic conditions.

Warning: Highway Assist may not be available in regions where the vehicle has no network coverage or if the system loses network reception.

Highway Assist is available on some roads. If you activate Highway Assist and then drive onto a road that Highway Assist does not support, the system will deactivate Highway Assist and activate Adaptive Cruise Control.

Activating Highway Assist

To activate Highway Assist, press the DreamDrive button on the steering wheel, followed by the toggle button to set the desired cruise speed.

Note: DreamDrive Mode defaults to Highway Assist for first-time users. The system will go to the last used DreamDrive Mode, (Adaptive Cruise Control or Highway Assist), when a user profile is active. If Adaptive Cruise Control is activated and implemented on a road that supports Highway Assist, press and hold the

DreamDrive button to switch to Highway Assist.

The lane will be highlighted and an indicator will display on the center Glass Cockpit Panel when Highway Assist is activated.

Note: When Highway Assist has been temporarily overridden, this indicator and lane highlighting will gray out, and the text will change to "Override."

Traffic Jam Assist

Warning: If there are no lanes detected and Traffic Jam Assist is following a leading vehicle, your vehicle may pursue the vehicle into another lane. Therefore, it is your responsibility to stay aware of your surroundings and be prepared to take corrective action at all times.

Highway Assist will follow the leading vehicle when the system cannot detect the lane lines or lane markings and there is a vehicle ahead.

Note: Traffic Jam Assist is only available when the vehicle’s speed is under 43 mph (70 km/h). The system will prioritize using the lanes over following a leading vehicle when lanes are detected.

Cooperative Lane Changing

To change lanes without disengaging or deactivating Highway Assist, activate the turn signal in the direction you will be changing lanes. See Turn Signals.

Highway Assist will be temporarily overridden when you activate the turn signal and turn the steering wheel, allowing you to manually complete the lane change. Highway Assist will automatically resume when the vehicle is centered in the new lane and both lane lines are detected.

When you turn on the turn signal and turn the steering wheel in the direction of the intended lane change:

The Highway Assist indicator will grey out.
The lane will not be highlighted.

Hands-Off Detection and In-Lane Stops

Warning: An in-lane stop is illegal in many areas. It is only an emergency procedure and should not be misused. Do not deliberately initiate an in-lane stop as a means to stop the vehicle.

Warning: An in-lane stop is meant to reduce the hazard of a moving vehicle that is not being consistently controlled by the driver. However, a vehicle stopped in traffic can also be a hazard.

Although Highway Assist helps you with steering, it is necessary to keep your hands on the wheel and pay attention to the road at all times. The system will provide a series of warnings if it detects that the driver is distracted and their hands are no longer on the steering wheel. If the warnings remain unattended to, the system will lead you to an in-lane stop. Please refer to the following information for more information on the warning prompts:

If Highway Assist detects that the driver is distracted, (not looking forward and their hands are not on the steering wheel), for longer than 6 seconds, a prompt will display on the center Glass Cockpit Panel.

If no steering wheel input has been detected for 15 seconds, a warning will display on the Glass Cockpit Panel, prompting the driver to place their hands on the steering wheel.

If steering wheel input still has not been detected after an additional 15 seconds:

An elevated warning will appear on the Glass Cockpit Panel, prompting the driver to put their hands on the steering wheel.
An alert will sound.
The driver will receive haptic brake feedback before in-lane stop deceleration begins.

The final stage of in-lane stop initiation depends on the current speed of the vehicle, and will occur any time after 33 seconds of continuous, nonexistent steering wheel input:

The vehicle will gradually slow, depending on the current speed.
Hazard lights will activate.
A flashing red animation will appear on the center Glass Cockpit Panel.
Audible warnings will sound.

Note: If the driver provides steering wheel input, or presses either the brake or accelerator during an in-lane stop, the system will cancel the in-lane stop. If the vehicle has already started to slow down, Adaptive Cruise Control and Highway Assist will be unavailable until the next drive cycle.

Once an in-lane stop has completed:

The vehicle will automatically shift into P (Park).
Highway Assist will get canceled.
DreamDrive will be unavailable until the next drive cycle.
All doors will unlock.
An audible alert will sound.

Note: Warnings will be dismissed if the vehicle is shifted out of P (Park). See Using the Drive Selector for more information.

Steering Override

You can temporarily override Highway Assist is active by turning the steering wheel. The Highway Assist indicator will gray out on the Glass Cockpit Panel when you use the steering wheel.

Once the steering wheel returns to its neutral position, the vehicle is centered in the lane, and the system detects lanes again, Highway Assist will automatically resume and the Glass Cockpit Panel will return to displaying the active Highway Assist mode.

Manually Canceling Highway Assist

To cancel Highway Assist, press the Cancel button on the steering wheel.

The system can also be canceled by pressing the brake pedal if it is safe to do so in the current traffic conditions.

Traffic Sign Recognition

Warning: Traffic Sign Recognition is only an assist feature. The driver is responsible for paying attention to the road signs and determining the appropriate speed limit, road conditions, and driving speed.

Warning: Traffic Sign Recognition is not available in all countries.

Warning: Map data is not always accurate. The GPS can miscalculate the vehicle location and provide an incorrect traffic sign.

Warning: The Traffic Sign Recognition system will not be fully functional and may provide inaccurate information if a road or traffic sign has recently been changed.

Warning: The Traffic Sign Recognition system will not display correct information and warnings won't take effect if it is unable to determine a traffic sign or is uncertain whether an acquired speed limit is accurate or not.

The Traffic Sign Recognition system uses the front cameras and navigation system data to recognize traffic signs on the road, therefore providing you with driving information, such as speed limits and other regulations.

Traffic signs will display on the Glass Cockpit Panel next to the speedometer when they are detected.

Speed Limit Alerts

The display color of the speed limit sign will change color and may increase in size when Speed Limit Alert is enabled, (see Speed Limit Alert Settings), and if the current vehicle speed exceeds the detected speed limit. The display will return to its normal color and size when the vehicle is slowed down to within the speed limit.

Wrong-Way Warnings

The system will alert you with an audible alert and a notification on the Glass Cockpit Panel if a Wrong Way road sign is detected and the vehicle passes it.

Speed Limit Alert Settings

To configure Speed Limit Alert settings, use the Pilot Panel and touch > DreamDrive.

Touch to enable or disable Speed Limit Alert. Additional options to receive VISUAL or VISUAL AND AUDIO alerts are available when this feature is enabled.
Touch to enable or disable Cruise Speed Update. This feature will notify you when a new speed limit is detected and prompts you with an option to update your cruising speed when Adaptive Cruise Control is active. It is the driver's responsibility to determine the appropriate speed limit, road conditions, and driving speed.
Note: The detected speed limit will still be displayed next to the set cruise speed on the Glass Cockpit Panel when this feature is disabled.

Traffic Drive-Off Alert

Warning: Never assume it is safe or legal to proceed when the Traffic Drive-Off Alert activates. Always check your surroundings, first.

When your vehicle comes to a stop behind traffic, (or another stopped vehicle), the Traffic Drive-Off Alert system will monitor the driver and alert them if they are distracted when the front vehicle pulls away from a stopped position.

The system will provide audible and visual alerts if a stopped vehicle in front pulls away and the interior camera detects that you are not facing forward.

Note: You will not receive Traffic Drive-Off Alerts if the interior camera detects that you are already facing forward.

When Adaptive Cruise Control is active, (see Adaptive Cruise Control), and the vehicle is stopped, you will receive a prompt on the Glass Cockpit Panel once the traffic ahead clears. You can resume cruising speed by pressing the accelerator or by pushing up on the left steering wheel toggle, (see Steering Wheel DreamDrive Controls).

The prompt will change and the system will sound an audible alert if you do not react to the initial prompt within a few seconds and if the driver is distracted.

Traffic Drive-Off Alert Settings

Use the Pilot Panel and touch > DreamDrive, then press to enable or disable Traffic Drive-Off Alert to configure Traffic Drive-Off Alert settings.

Note: The Traffic Drive-Off Alert setting will be saved to the current active user profile and not reset at each drive cycle.

Distracted Driver Alert

Warning: Do not rely on the Distracted Driver Alert to maintain your focus on the road. The driver is responsible for paying attention at all times, while operating the vehicle.

When enabled, the Distracted Driver Alert system will monitor the driver via the interior camera and issue alerts when it detects that the driver’s eyes are not on the road.

Note: In some circumstances, the interior camera might be blocked. In this case, both the distracted driver and drowsy driver alerts will be unavailable. In this case, an alert will appear on the center Glass Cockpit Panel. When the obstruction is removed, the driver will be notified.

Note: The Distracted Driver Alert is not available when the vehicle’s speed is below 25 mph (40 km/h).

If the system detects that the driver’s eyes are off the road for two seconds, an alert will display on the Glass Cockpit Panel and a chime will sound.

If the system detects that the driver has their eyes off the road for an additional three-to-five seconds, a warning will display on the Glass Cockpit Panel. A chime will sound and a haptic pulse will vibrate the steering wheel to alert the driver.

Distracted Driver Alert Settings

To configure Distracted Driver Alert settings, on the Pilot Panel, touch > DreamDrive, then enable or disable Distraction Alert. The Distraction settings will then save themselves to the current user profile.

Drowsy Driver Alert

Warning: Do not rely on the Drowsy Driver Alert to warn you when you are not focusing on the road or driving erratically. Drive to a safe area and park when you are unable to focus on driving.

When enabled, the Drowsy Driver Alert system will issue alerts once it detects early signs of drowsiness. This system will monitor for the following signs:

Frequent Driver Eye Closure, (Detected via the Interior Camera)
Erratic Driving Behavior, (Such as Swerving)

Note: Drowsy Driver Alert is not available when the vehicle’s speed is below 25 mph (40 km/h).

A notification will appear on the center Glass Cockpit Panel if the system detects signs of driver drowsiness.

An indicator will display on the Glass Cockpit Panel when the Drowsy Driver Alert activates until the vehicle has been stopped or shifted out of D (Drive).

In addition to the alert, the right Glass Cockpit Panel will display a list of nearby break areas, when available. If desired, press a location to add a waypoint to your current trip and navigate it to that break area. See Navigating.

A warning notification will appear on the Glass Cockpit Panel and an audible alert will sound if the system detects continued signs of drowsiness after the first alert.

When available, the right Glass Cockpit Panel will also display a list of nearby break areas. Press SHOW ME to view the list or DISMISS to clear.

A new warning notification will appear along with a louder audible alert and haptic vibration of the steering wheel if the system still detects signs of drowsiness after the second alert.

Hazard lights will also activate and the right Glass Cockpit Panel will, again, display a list of nearby break areas.

Responses include:

Pressing a Selection in the Prompt on the Right Glass Cockpit Panel
Double-Clicking the Hazard Light Button
Stopping the Vehicle
Shifting out of D (Drive)

Drowsy Driver Alert Settings

Click > DreamDrive on the Pilot Panel, then press to enable or disable Drowsy Driver Alert. Drowsy Driver settings save to the current User Profile.

High Beam Assist

Warning: High Beam Assist is an aid for selecting the best possible lighting based on prevailing conditions. The driver is always responsible for manually switching between high and low beam depending on the traffic situation or weather condition.

High Beam Assist is a feature that uses the vehicle's cameras to detect the headlights of approaching vehicles or the taillights of the vehicle directly ahead.

The vehicle's headlight's will automatically switch from high beams to low beams when either of these conditions are detected.

The headlights will return to high beams when the camera sensor no longer detects an approaching vehicle or a vehicle ahead.

Note: The feature may automatically switch to low beams when street lighting is detected.

Note: This feature will only operate in dark conditions when the vehicle's speed is greater than 18 mph (30 km/h).

Activating High Beam Assist

Make sure the feature is enabled via the DreamDrive settings.
Put the light settings in Auto Mode.
Push the left steering column lever away from yourself to turn on the high beams.

The High Beam Assist indicator is displayed on the instrument cluster whenever the system is activated.

To override HBA:

If HBA is in low or high beam and the driver wants continuous high beam, push the left steering column lever.
If HBA is in high beam and the driver wants continuous low beam, pull the left steering column lever. Push the left steering column lever to return to HBA after an override.

See High Beam Headlights for more information on continuous high beam or flashing the high beams while HBA is on.

An indicator will display on the Instrument Cluster, and High Beam Assist will be unavailable if the system detects a fault. Headlight high beams can still be operated using the left steering column lever.

High Beam Assist can be enabled or disabled using the Pilot Panel. Select > Vehicle > Drive Settings, then press to enable or disable High Beam Assist.

Reduced High Beam Sensitivity

If High Beam Assist is enabled and the vehicle is parked, tapping and holding the High Beam Assist label in the Pilot Panel for 30 seconds will reveal the Reduced High Beam Sensitivity option.

Note: This option will not appear if the vehicle is not in Park and will disappear automatically if it is in motion.

Warning: Reduced high beam sensitivity may result in the blinding of oncoming traffic. Do not use this mode.
