Active Lane Management System — If Equipped
The Active Lane Management (ALM) system uses a forward facing camera to detect lane markings or road edges and measure vehicle position within the lane boundaries. It also uses the Blind Spot Monitoring sensors to detect vehicles in adjacent lanes while the driver is preparing to change lanes.
The system is operational at speeds above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph (180 km/h).
When both lane markings are detected, and the vehicle drifts out of the lane (no turn signal applied), the Active Lane Management system provides a visual warning in the instrument cluster, as well as a steering assist torque (if configured in Uconnect Settings), to prompt the driver to remain within the lane boundaries. If the driver continues to drift out of the lane, the system provides a flashing visual warning through the instrument cluster display as well as a haptic steering wheel vibration (if configured in Uconnect Settings) when the vehicle crosses the lane boundary.
The warning will be in the form of a vibration in the steering wheel, and/or automatic steering assistance to direct the vehicle back toward the center of the lane.
When both lane markings are detected, and the driver uses the turn signal to indicate a lane change while the system detects another vehicle in the Blind Spot Monitoring zone on that side of the vehicle, the Active Lane Management system provides a warning in the form of steering assist and/or steering vibration (depending on radio settings) to guide the vehicle back to the center of the lane.
Depending on the type of warning selected, the system will either guide the vehicle back to the center of the lane, provide a vibration in the steering wheel, or both.
Note:
For an event where the Active Lane Management system is reacting to a target vehicle in the adjacent lane, the steering vibration will occur as soon as the vehicle starts to depart the center of its lane (as opposed to waiting until the lane marker is crossed), the Blind Spot Monitoring indicator LED on the mirror will flash, and the steering wheel torque will be greater than for a normal lane departure (no vehicle in adjacent lane).
The driver may manually override the steering assist warning by applying force into the steering wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected and the driver drifts across the lane marking (no turn signal applied), the Active Lane Management system provides a visual warning in the instrument cluster, as well as a steering assist torque (if configured in Uconnect Settings), to prompt the driver to remain within the lane boundaries. If the driver continues to drift out of the lane, the system provides a flashing visual warning through the instrument cluster display as well as a haptic steering wheel vibration (if configured in Uconnect Settings) when the vehicle crosses the lane boundary.
Note:
When operating conditions have been met, the Active Lane Management system will monitor if the driver’s hands are on the steering wheel and provides an audible and visual warning to the driver if removed. The system will cancel if the driver does not return their hands to the wheel.
TURNING ACTIVE LANE MANAGEMENT ON OR OFF
The Active Lane Management button is located on the switch panel below the Uconnect display.
To turn the system on, push the Active Lane Management button (LED turns off). A message is shown in the instrument cluster display.
To turn the system off, push the button again (LED turns on).
Note:
The Active Lane Management system will retain the last system state on or off from the last ignition cycle when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.
ACTIVE LANE MANAGEMENT WARNING MESSAGE
The Active Lane Management system will indicate the current lane drift condition through the instrument cluster display.
When the system is on, the lane lines are gray when both of the lane boundaries have not been detected.
System On (Gray Lines)
Left Lane Departure — Only Left Lane Detected
-
When the system is on and only the left lane marking has been detected, and the system is ready to provide visual warnings in the instrument cluster display if a lane departure occurs, the left lane line will be green.
-
When the system senses the lane line has been approached (but not crossed), the left lane line will change to solid yellow.
-
When the system senses the lane line is being crossed, the left lane line will change to flashing yellow.
Lane Crossed (Flashing Yellow Line)
Note:
The Active Lane Management system operates with similar behavior for a right lane departure when only the right lane marking has been detected.
Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected
-
When the system is on, the lane lines turn from gray to green to indicate that both of the lane markings have been detected. When both lane markings have been detected, the system is ready to provide visual warnings in the instrument cluster display and a vibration and/or steering assist warning in the steering wheel if a lane departure occurs.
Lanes Sensed (Green Lines)
-
When the system senses a lane drift situation, the left lane line turns solid yellow. At this time, steering assist warning is applied to the steering wheel in the opposite direction of the lane boundary.
For example: If approaching the left side of the lane the steering wheel will turn to the right.
Lane Drift (Solid Yellow Line)
-
When the system senses the lane line is being crossed, the left lane line changes from solid yellow to flashing yellow (on/off). At this time, vibration is applied to the steering wheel.
For example: If approaching the left side of the lane the steering wheel will turn to the right.
Lane Crossed (Flashing Yellow Line)
Note:
The Active Lane Management system operates with similar behavior for a right lane departure.
CHANGING ACTIVE LANE MANAGEMENT STATUS
Configurable settings for the Active Lane Management system are available within the Uconnect system "⇨UCONNECT SETTINGS".
Selectable Warning Types:
-
Vibration Only
-
Steering Assist Only
-
Vibration And Steering Assist
Other configurable settings for this system are for the intensity of the vibration (hi/med/low), steering assist warning (hi/med/low), and the warning zone sensitivity (early/medium/late).
Note:
-
The system will not apply vibration or steering assist to the steering wheel whenever a safety system engages (Anti-Lock Brakes, Traction Control System, Electronic Stability Control, Forward Collision Warning, etc.).
-
The Blind Spot Monitoring system will be forced on when the Active Lane Management system is enabled.
-
The Active Lane Management system will be suppressed when the Highway Assist system (if equipped) is engaged.
