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 kmph).

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 kmph)

Maximum speed: 90 mph (150 kmph)

The cruising speed displays to the right of the speedometer on the Glass Cockpit 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 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 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

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 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 displays the active Adaptive Cruise Control mode.

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

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 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

Highway Assist Overview

Highway Assist is a DreamDrive Pro feature that detects lane markings to actively steer and center your vehicle in the lane. It detects the presence of other vehicles in your lane and adjusts your speed to help you maintain a safe following distance.

Warning: Highway Assist is designed for your driving comfort and convenience. Highway Assist 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 assume control of your 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 display 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, you are responsible for steering the vehicle to conform to traffic conditions.

Warning: Turn off Highway Assist when driving in areas where the lane markings are not clear or unavailable (such as construction zones, newly paved roads without markers, etc.). This prevents the vehicle from maneuvering erratically in such situations.

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

CAUTION: Some roads may contain sections with tight curves exceeding the steering capabilities of Highway Assist. In these sections, you will receive an alert that assisted steering is limited or unavailable.

Highway Assist is only 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 switch back to 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. See DreamDrive Controls appear at the top of the center Cockpit Panel.

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.

You will hear a chime, the lane will be highlighted, and the words Highway Assist will display on the Center 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

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 kmph). The system will prioritize using the lanes over following a leading vehicle when lanes are detected.

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.

Cooperative Lane Change

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

Activating the turn signals and turning the steering wheel will temporarily override the Highway Assist feature. The effort needed to override the lane centering system will be reduced in the direction of the intended lane change, allowing you to manually complete the lane change with ease. Highway Assist will automatically resume when the vehicle is centered in the new lane and both lane lines are detected.

Manual Lane Biasing

Manual Lane Biasing temporarily allows a you to manually adjust the vehicle's position within a lane while Highway Assist is still engaged and actively controlling the vehicle.

Note: The system will go to an override state if you apply excessive steering force to maneuver the vehicle outside a lane, or if the vehicle crosses a lane.

Hands-Off Detection and In-Lane Stops

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 you are distracted and your hands are not on the steering wheel. If the warnings remain unattended to, the system will lead you to an in-lane stop. Refer to the following information for details on the warning prompts:

A prompt will display on the center Glass Cockpit if Highway Assist detects that you are distracted, not looking forward, or your hands are not on the steering wheel for more than 6 seconds.

A warning will display on the Glass Cockpit if no steering wheel input has been detected for 15 seconds, prompting you to place your 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, prompting you to put your hands on the steering wheel.
An alert will sound.
You will receive feedback through the brake pedal 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.
Audible warnings will sound.

Note: If you provide 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.

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.

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 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 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. See Steering Wheel DreamDrive Controls.

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

Traffic Sign Recognition

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 next to the speedometer when they are detected.

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.

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 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 when this feature is disabled.

Traffic Drive-Off Alert

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 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.

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

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

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 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 kmph).

If the system detects that the driver’s eyes are off the road for two seconds, an alert will display on the Glass Cockpit 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. A chime will sound and a haptic pulse will vibrate the steering wheel to alert the driver.

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.

Distracted Driver Alert Settings

To configure Distracted Driver Alert settings, on the Pilot Panel, touch > DreamDrive, then enable or disable Distraction Alert.

The Distraction Driver Alert settings will then save to the current user profile.

Interior Camera

Driver Awareness Monitoring camera is located on the dashboard directly behind the steering wheel.

Note: If the steering column is not positioned properly, the DMS Camera might get blocked and Driver Monitoring warning will be unavailable.

Drowsy Driver Alert

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 kmph).

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

An indicator will display on the Glass Cockpit 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 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 and an audible alert will sound if the system detects continued signs of drowsiness after the first alert.

When available, the Right 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 Cockpit Panel will, again, display a list of nearby break areas.

Responses include:

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

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.

Drowsy Driver Alert Settings

Click > DreamDrive on the Pilot Panel, then press to enable or disable Drowsy Driver Alert.

Drowsy Driver settings will then 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 (HBA) 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 kmph).

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 High Beam Assist:

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.
