224 SAFETY
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning
Light
The yellow ABS Warning Light will turn on when
the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN mode and
may stay on for as long as four seconds.
If the ABS Warning Light remains on or comes
on while driving, it indicates that the anti-lock
portion of the brake system is not functioning
and that service is required. However, the
conventional brake system will continue to
operate normally if the ABS Warning Light is on.
If the ABS Warning Light is on, the brake system
should be serviced as soon as possible to
restore the benefits of Anti-Lock Brakes. If the
ABS Warning Light does not come on when the
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN mode, have
the light repaired as soon as possible.
DROWSY DRIVER DETECTION (DDD) —
I
F EQUIPPED
DDD detects when the driver is feeling fatigued
and warns the driver to pull over and take a
break.
To Activate/Deactivate
DDD can be activated and deactivated through
the Uconnect system by selecting the following
in order:
1. “Driver Assistance”
2. “Drowsy Driver Detection”
System Warnings
The DDD system uses driver and vehicle inputs
to calculate when the driver is feeling drowsy. If
the system detects that the driver is drowsy, an
audible chime will be heard and the DDD
graphic will display on the cluster screen.
The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can
it increase braking or steering efficiency
beyond that afforded by the condition of the
vehicle brakes and tires or the traction
afforded.
The ABS cannot prevent collisions,
including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, following another vehicle
too closely, or hydroplaning.
The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle
must never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner that could jeopardize
the user’s safety or the safety of others.
WARNING! (Continued)
WARNING!
The DDD system is an aid for driving and does
not relieve the driver of the responsibility of
driving the vehicle. If you experience fatigue
while driving, pull over safely for a break
without waiting for the DDD warnings. Only
return to the road when you are in the right
physical and mental condition to prevent
endangering yourself and other drivers.
