Turning Active Driving Assist On Or Off - RAM 1500 2025 Owner's Manual

166 STARTING AND OPERATING
the vehicle in the driving lane while traveling at speeds
up to 90 mph (145 km/h).
For ACC system operating instructions and system
ð
limitations, see page 144.
NOTE:
●
The driver should always obey traffic laws and speed
limits. Never drive above applicable speed limit
restrictions.
●
The driver can override ADA at any time by braking,
accelerating, or steering the vehicle.
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 ADA system and Hands-Free ADA system. If your
vehicle is equipped Hands-Free ADA please refer to
page 169
Base Active Driving Assist System
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 farther away from a
large vehicle in an adjacent 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.
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.
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
ð
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.
You should turn off the Active Driving Assist systems:
●
When driving in complex driving situations (e.g.
urban environments, construction zones, etc.),
adverse weather or low visibility conditions (e.g.
rain, snow, fog, sleet, dust), or adverse road
conditions (e.g. heavy traffic, worn or missing lane
markings, etc.).
●
When entering a highway on-ramp or exiting an
off-ramp.
●
When driving on roads that are icy, snow covered,
or slippery.
●
When driving during difficult or uncertain
conditions.
