Minimum Risk Maneuver; System Status; System Operation/Limitations - Dodge HORNET 2024 Owner's Manual

Active Driving Assist Indicators Are Red
•
Driver inattentiveness is still being detected, or
driver take-over is being requested, warning the
driver to place hands on the steering wheel.
This warning is also issued when the system has
detected a tight curve and is warning the driver to
take control.
NOTE:
The driver MUST replace hands on the steering wheel
and take control of the vehicle when the system is
deactivated.

MINIMUM RISK MANEUVER

When the vehicle begins the hands-off steering wheel
warning escalation, previously described, the system
will initiate the Minimum Risk Maneuver for bringing the
vehicle to a stop.
After 23 seconds from the initial absence of the hands
on the steering wheel, the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
system will apply a brake jerk to warn the driver to take
vehicle control. If, after another 3 seconds the driver
does not take the control of the vehicle, the system will
apply a second brake jerk.
If the absence of hands on the steering wheel persists,
the system will apply automatic braking to bring the
vehicle to the stop and activate the vehicle's hazard
warning lights. After the vehicle is stopped, the system
will unlock the doors (if previously locked).
NOTE:
If the driver takes control of the vehicle during the Mini-
mum Risk Maneuver by placing hands on the steering
wheel or pressing the accelerator, the system Minimum
Risk Maneuver will be canceled, and the ADA system
will resume normal function.

SYSTEM STATUS

Along with changes in the system's indicator lights
(green, yellow, and red), the system can also issue sev-
eral accompanying warnings intended to provide the
driver with enough time to react, avoid or mitigate a
potential collision.
•
Two haptic brake jerk warnings will be issued (red
warning light is being issued).
•
A steering wheel vibration warning (if enabled) will
occur if the vehicle crosses a lane marker, for
example, when driving on a tight curve. The steering
wheel vibration feature can be turned on or off
within the Uconnect system page 145.

SYSTEM OPERATION/LIMITATIONS

WARNING!
Active Driving Assist is an SAE Level 2 Driver Assist
feature, requiring driver attention at all times. To pre-
vent serious injury or death:
•
Always remember that the Active Driving Assist
system is a convenience system that cannot accu-
rately detect all situations. Complete attention is
always required while driving, even when using the
Active Driving Assist system.
•
Always remain alert and be ready to take control of
the vehicle in the event that the Active Driving
Assist system deactivates, or otherwise lacks full
functionality as described further before and after
this statement.
•
Always keep your eyes on the road and hands on
the steering wheel when the Active Driving Assist
system is activated.
STARTING AND OPERATING
•
Do not use a hand-held device when the Active
Driving Assist system is engaged.
•
Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and
pay attention to traffic conditions. The Active Driv-
ing Assist system will not steer to avoid safety haz-
ards, construction zones, objects, or road impedi-
ments. You need to take control to steer and brake
the vehicle in such situations, and when merging
into traffic, exiting the highway, making a turn for
crossing traffic, or stopping for traffic control
devices.
•
Do not place any objects on the steering wheel
(e.g. steering wheel covers) which could interfere
with the hand detection sensors.
The Active Driving Assist system DOES NOT:
•
Warn or prevent collisions with other vehicles
•
Steer your vehicle around stopped vehicles, slower
vehicles, construction equipment, pedestrians, or
animals
•
Respond to traffic lights or stop signs
•
Merge onto highways or exit off ramps
•
Turn your vehicle
•
Change lanes
•
React to cross traffic
NOTE:
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a core component of
ADA. For ACC system limitations, see
