The Traffic Sign Assist (TSA) system uses a camera mounted on the windshield, as well as map data when the vehicle is equipped with Navigation, to detect recognizable road signs such as:
NOTE:
The TSA System can be enabled/disabled within the Uconnect system through the Safety/Driver Assistance menu. System ON is signaled by road signs shown on the instrument cluster display.
NOTE:
Even if the system is OFF, the speed limit sign will be displayed when the driver selects it on the HOME screen.
TSA has three selectable modes of operation that are available through the Uconnect system page 204.
Visual
When Visual is selected, the system will alert the driver when the current speed of the vehicle exceeds the detected speed limit by showing a graphic in the instrument cluster display.
Visual + Chime
When Visual + Chime is selected, the system will alert the driver when the current speed of the vehicle exceeds the detected speed limit by showing a graphic in the instrument cluster display, and by sounding an audible alert. The audible alert will last for 10 seconds, and the visual alert will remain on as long as the vehicle is exceeding the speed limit.
TSA Off
When the TSA system is turned off, the system will not show any traffic signs (unless selected in the HOME screen, which will show detected speed limit signs), and no alerts will be issued to the driver.
Detected traffic signs are shown in the instrument cluster display, and can display any combination of signs at one time (e.g. speed limit, speed limit and supplemental info, and “Do Not Pass” signs) depending on what information is available.
When a newly detected speed limit is higher than the current speed limit, the display will update along with an “up” arrow.
When a newly detected speed limit is lower than the current speed limit, the display will update along with a “down” arrow.
NOTE:
Up or down arrows will be displayed for up to five seconds.
Supplemental Information
Supplemental information may be displayed along with a newly detected speed limit indicating special circumstances the driver should be aware of. Available supplemental information includes:
NOTE:
Supplemental information will not be displayed when the vehicle is ONLY equipped with GPS.
Speed Limit Exceeded
When the vehicle’s speed exceeds the displayed speed limit by 3 mph (5 km/h), the speed limit sign on the instrument cluster display will show a red outline to alert the driver.
CAUTION!
The Active Driving Assist (ADA) system is combined with the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system, and centers the vehicle in the driving lane while traveling at speeds up to 90 mph (145 km/h).
For ACC system operating instructions and system limitations, see Ú page 145.
NOTE:
Just like ACC, ADA will maintain a set speed as long as the set distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front is maintained. ADA will also keep your vehicle centered between the lane lines, and monitor for other vehicles in adjacent lanes by utilizing the Blind Spot Monitoring sensors.
Two types of Active Driving Assist systems are available:
Base Active Driving Assist System — If Equipped
The Base ADA system uses sensors within the steering wheel to measure driver attentiveness and requires that the driver have their hands on the steering wheel at all times.
The system will generally aim to keep the vehicle centered in the lane, but when the driver turns the steering wheel (e.g. to move further away from a large vehicle in the next lane) the system will reduce its control and enter “co-steering” mode. While in co-steering mode, the system will provide reduced assistance and allow the driver to control the path of the vehicle. Once the driver stops providing input to the steering wheel, the system will require a few seconds to fully resume lane-centering assistance, especially during curves.
Hands-Free Active Driving Assist System —If Equipped
The Hands-Free ADA system uses sensors within the steering wheel and a driver monitoring camera located on top of the steering column to monitor driver attentiveness. The Hands-Free ADA allows the driver to remove their hands from the steering wheel, but requires that the driver continue to pay attention to the road.
NOTE
The camera may record images of the driver during certain crash, or near crash situations. To retrieve the images recorded by the camera, special equipment is required and access to the vehicle or the camera is needed.
Hands-Free ADA will also change lanes when a turn signal is activated if the lane in the direction indicated is valid and clear, noted by a dashed line in the direction of the available lane change. The system uses sensors, including Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) sensors, to determine if a lane change is possible. If the assisted lane change is in progress, a green indication will appear.
WARNING!
The driver is always responsible for determining if a lane change is safe. Failure to follow this warning can result in a collision and death or serious personal injury.
NOTE:
WARNING!
The Active Driving Assist (ADA) system is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active driver involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of road traffic, weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead, position in the lane compared to other vehicles, and brake operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your complete attention is always required while driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision and death or serious personal injury.
Some states and local laws may require hands to be kept on the steering wheel at all times. For vehicles equipped with the Hands-Free ADA system, ONLY remove your hands from the steering wheel if the Hands-Free system is engaged, it is safe to do so, and it is permitted by state and local laws.
