driver. The system may not indicate lane depar-
tures under certain conditions. Read carefully the
information in this manual to understand the cir-
cumstances under which this system may not
provide adequate lane departure warnings. Do
not rely solely on the system to safely operate
the vehicle. The system does not warn of all pos-
sible hazards. For example, the system cannot
prevent an accident if the driver is impaired or
not driving safely.
The lane departure warning system is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving procedures.
Failure to drive safely and use the system prop-
erly could result in personal injury and/or death
and severe property damage.
IMPORTANT: It is still the responsibility of the
driver to change driving styles depending on
existing traffic and road conditions.
Starting the vehicle activates the system. On start-
up, the system performs a self-test, then sounds two
chirps through the speakers to indicate the system is
ready. The rocker switch on the B instrument panel
turns the system on and off. Once the vehicle is
started and the system is ready, the ON light at the
bottom of the switch illuminates. Pushing the top of
the rocker switch turns the system off; pushing the
switch again turns the system on. The top portion of
the switch reads LANE ALERT and is backlit with the
dash lights on.
The LANE SRCHNG amber warning light illuminates
to indicate the system is not fully functional. When
the warning light is on, the system audible alert may
not indicate a lane departure. Conditions that can
cause the warning light to come on include:
•
The system is unable to detect lane markings.
•
Vehicle speed is less than 40 mph (64 km/h).
•
Lane width is greater than 13 feet (4 m).
•
A dirty windshield or a similar problem is ob-
scuring the camera.
•
A system problem is detected.
While the system is capable of detecting a number of
different types of lane markers, its performance may
be compromised or degraded by certain conditions,
including the following:
•
Weather conditions such as snow, heavy rain,
ice, or standing water.
•
Damaged, worn, or faded lane markings.
•
Broken pavement, dirt, sand, salt, gravel, or
skid marks.
•
Poor lighting, such as heavy glare or an inop-
erable headlight.
•
A cracked, dirty, or streaked windshield.
The lane guidance system is not meant for use in
city traffic or in heavy highway traffic. System alerts
are automatically disabled when vehicle speed drops
below 40 mph (64 km/h). The system may be manu-
ally turned off with the instrument panel rocker switch
if an unacceptable level of false alerts is reached.
NOTE: If the green light on the LANE ALERT
rocker switch remains off despite depressing the
switch and the LANE SRCHNG amber warning
light remains on, the system is not fully func-
tional and needs service at a dealer or autho-
rized service facility.
Roll Stability Control
Roll Stability Control is an onboard system capable
of automatically slowing the vehicle to reduce the risk
of rollover. The goal of the system is to reduce roll-
over accidents by reducing vehicle speed.
The system uses a lateral acceleration sensor that
monitors rollover risk. If the sensor detects the ve-
hicle is at risk of rolling over, Roll Stability Control
intervenes and attempts to reduce vehicle speed by
reducing engine power, applying the engine brake,
and/or applying the tractor and trailer brakes.
WARNING
The Roll-Stability Control system is intended only
as an aid for a conscientious and alert driver.
Carefully read the information in this manual to
understand this system and its limitations. The
Roll-Stability Control system is not a substitute
for safe driving procedures. Failure to drive
safely, and use the system properly, could result
in personal injury and/or death and property
damage.
