Instrument Panel Screens

The following information describes different screens for features that may appear on the OptiView instrument panel while driving the vehicle.

Motion Enabled Indicator Screen

When the vehicle is started and the high voltage system is engaged, the motion enabled indicator appears in the bottom left of the instrument panel and momentarily in the center of the speedometer, shown in figure , indicating that the vehicle is ready to drive.

Reverse Gear Display

When the vehicle is in reverse, the instrument panel provides a 360-degree image on the left-side, a proximity sensor in the top center, and rear video on the right-side. See figure .

High Voltage Battery Charge Screen

The percent of high voltage battery charge is displayed in the bottom left of the instrument cluster along with a corresponding bar graph. See figure 197 . The battery charge bar graph has two states which include normal (blue) and low charge (amber). See figure .

When the high voltage battery charge is at 10% or below, a ’Low Battery Charge’ warning message appears in the upper left corner of the instrument panel, shown in figure .

Turn Signal Screen

Turn signal indicators are located on the left- and right-side of the speedometer. When a turn signal is activated, a corresponding side-camera view is displayed in the center of the speedometer, if the vehicle is equipped with a 360-degree camera system. See figure .

Adaptive Cruise Control Screen

When the adaptive cruise control (ACC) is engaged, the ACC indicator and set speed appear above the current speed. A cruise control set-speed indicator appears at the corresponding position on the speedometer along with a graphical representation of a leading vehicle on the roadway, if it is within detection range of the ACC radar. See figure .

A white-band between the set-speed indicator and the current speed pointer on the speedometer indicates the difference between the current speed and the set speed of the vehicle. See figure , ref. A.

Headway (following distance) is shown by one to three amber rectangles, which represent far (three rectangles), medium (two rectangles), and near (one rectangle). See figure . The headway can be adjusted by pressing the 'up' or 'down' arrows on the steering wheel, shown in figure , to increase or decrease the following distance whenever the side tiles are not active and while ACC is engaged. See figure . When the accelerator is pressed, the headway rectangles (rectangles 1 through 3) become outlines, as shown in figure . The arrows disappear, indicating that the system is no longer controlling the vehicle’s headway, but that ACC is still on and will engage again once the accelerator pedal is no longer in use by the driver.

When there is no lead vehicle present, a blue target appears on the horizon of the instrument panel to inform the driver that the system is operational and scanning for vehicles. See figure . If a lead vehicle is detected, a representation of a vehicle is displayed on the roadway graphic along with the lead vehicle’s current speed. See figure . As the lead vehicle gets closer or further away, the representation of the vehicle on the instrument panel gets closer or further from the amber headway threshold as well. When the lead vehicle reaches the headway threshold, the vehicle system will match the lead vehicle’s speed. If the lead vehicle quickly slows and becomes closer than the headway threshold, the lead vehicle becomes outlined in amber until the condition is no longer present. See figure .

Collision Mitigation System

When the collision mitigation system (CMS) detects a possible imminent forward collision, an audible alert sounds. A red outlined vehicle and the distance to the vehicle appear under the speedometer, as shown in figure , ref. A. If the CMS becomes unavailable, an amber indicator illuminates in the center of the screen. See figure , ref. B.

Detroit Assurance Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Safety Notes on Lane Departure Warning

The system may be impaired or may not operate in the following situations:

• There is low visibility due to insufficient road illumination, or due to snow, rain, fog, heavy spray, smoke, or other circumstances that limit visibility.

• There is glare due to oncoming traffic, direct sunlight, or reflections from wet road surfaces.

• The windshield in the area of the camera is dirty, misted up, damaged, or covered by a sticker.

• No lane markings or several varied lane markings are present, such as in a construction zone.

• The lane markings are worn, dark, or covered—such as by sand, dirt, or snow.

• The distance from the vehicle in front is too small and prevents the lane markings from being detected.

• The lane markings change rapidly, such as when lanes merge, branch off, or cross.

• Lanes are very narrow or winding.

• Shade conditions on the road surface vary widely.

The driver must adapt their driving style to current conditions. LDW cannot take the road and weather conditions into account, nor the prevailing traffic situation. The driver is responsible for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, braking in good time, and remaining in the lane.

Overview

LDW monitors the area in front of the vehicle using the multipurpose camera mounted at the top of the windshield. When LDW is active and detecting lane markings, it visually and audibly warns the driver if it thinks the vehicle may be leaving the lane unintentionally.

LDW only needs one identifiable lane line to function.

Functions and Activation Conditions for Lane Departure Warning

The Detroit Assurance LDW system is designed to warn the driver as the vehicle crosses the outer boundary of the lane marking. This may differ from other LDW systems which issue a warning as the driver approaches the inside of the lane marking. If the system warns at, or just beyond the outer edge of the lane marking, the system is performing as designed. If the warning does not occur, or occurs after an excessive lane departure, the system may not be operating properly.

Lane departure warning only issues warnings if the speed is above approximately 37 mph (60 km/h).

The lane markings on the driver display screen show the status and state of LDW:

• No lane markings indicate that LDW is off.

• Outlined lane markings indicate that LDW is not ready.

• Solid white markings indicate LDW is on and ready to issue warnings.

• Red lane markings indicate a lane departure is occurring; red lane markings are a visual warning from the LDW system.

In addition to the visual warning, when driving over lane markings unintentionally, the volume of audio equipment like the radio and/or hands-free systems is muted and a ‘rumble-strip noise’ emits from the side of the vehicle driving over the lane markings.

LDW does not issue an audible warning when:

• the turn signals are switched on

• if the driver is braking or accelerating

• if the driver is making a sharp turn

• if a driving safety system such as ABA, stability control, or ACC intervenes.

Activating or Deactivating Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

When the engine is turned on, LDW is automatically activated.

Pressing the LDW OFF switch deactivates LDW for fifteen minutes. The LDW OFF switch may be a physical dash switch, see figure , and/or a digital switch in the ICC5 infotainment panel under ’Digital Switches,’ see figure . When LDW is deactivated, the switch indicator illuminates.

A driver might want to turn off LDW on winding roads or when driving through construction zones or other areas where lane markings are not clear.

LDW is not active if:

• the driver presses the LDW OFF switch;

• the system is searching for a lane.

If there is a system error, the LDW unavailable telltale, see figure , illuminates on the driver display.

Cleaning the Windshield in the Area of the Camera

Make sure that the windshield is always kept clean and unobstructed in the area of the camera.

During rainy or cold weather, the driver should switch on the windshield wiper to clear the windshield and remove snow and ice to avoid incorrect lane detection.

If the area of the windshield is damaged, LDW may not work as intended. If this happens, the windshield must be replaced.

Detroit Assurance Active Lane Assist (ALA)

Active Lane Assist Safety Information

Features in ALA may become inactive under conditions where lane markings cannot clearly be identified. These conditions include:

• low visibility, due to insufficient road illumination or due to snow, rain, fog, smoke, or heavy spray;

• glare from oncoming traffic, the sun, or reflection from other vehicles when the road surface is wet;

• the windshield being dirty, misted up, damaged, or covered in the vicinity of the camera;

• the lane markings being unclear, such as in a construction zone;

• the lane markings being worn, dark, or covered;

• the distance to the vehicle in front being too small and preventing the lane markings from being detected;

• the lane markings changing quickly—lanes branching off, crossing one another, or merging;

• the road being narrow and winding;

• highly variable shade conditions on the road surface;

• an attachment (such as a snow plow) restricting the camera’s view of the lane markings;

• a significant change in load with the vehicle on. Start the vehicle after a significant change in load to have ALA available without restrictions.

ALA cannot take the road, weather conditions, or the current traffic situation into account. The driver is responsible for maintaining a safe distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, braking in good time, and remaining in the lane.

Active Lane Assist Overview

The LDW/LDP function of ALA detects lane markings on the road surface, warns the driver they may be leaving their lane unintentionally, and, if a driver does not respond to these warnings, moves the vehicle back into the center of the lane. If the driver’s preferred lane position is other than ’center,’ LKA will move the vehicle into the requested lane position after the LDP intervention is complete.

The LKA function of ALA uses micro-steering adjustments to keep the vehicle in the driver’s preferred lane position. It also monitor’s the driver’s steering, and if it senses the driver’s hand’s have been removed, cautions the driver to return their hands to the steering wheel.

Active Lane Assist Activation Conditions

ALA is activated each time the vehicle is turned on.

The LDW/LDP component of ALA is ready to issue warnings and initiate actions as soon as the vehicle reaches 37 mph (60 km/h) and both lane lines are identified and show on the driver display as solid lane markings. LDP requires both lane lines to be identifiable to function; LDW only requires one lane line to function.

LKA is ready to issue warnings and initiate actions when cruise control is active and when the vehicle is driving forward at approximately 15-20 mph (24-32 km/h).

The status of LKA is shown by the color and design of the steering wheel telltales on the driver display screen.

• Blue hands-on steering wheel: LKA is on and actively steering.

• Grey hands-on steering wheel: LKA is on but inactive (due to glare, snow, bad lane lines, etc.).

• Red hands-on steering wheel: auto stop is active.

• Amber steering wheel with exclamation point: There is a problem with the electro-hydraulic power steering system which deactivates LKA.

• Red steering wheel with exclamation point: There is an error with the adaptive power steering (APS) which deactivates LKA or an error with LKA.

• No steering wheel icon: LKA is off or deactivated.

See figure and figure for examples of an LKA status telltale in the driver display.

If the driver takes their hands off the steering wheel for fifteen seconds with Lane Keep Assist (LKA) active, an amber caution pop-up screen appears telling the driver to return their hands to the steering wheel. See figure . After hands are on the steering wheel, the pop-up disappears.

Active Lane Assist Functions and Warnings

ALA works to keep the vehicle within the lane, issues warnings when a driver takes their hands off the steering wheel, and if necessary intervenes to bring the vehicle to a safe stop.

With the driver’s hands on the steering wheel, the LKA feature of ALA engages in micro-steering adjustments to offset side winds, lateral road inclination, and other environmental forces to keep the vehicle in the driver’s preferred lane position. To set the preferred lane position, select ’Quick Access’ > ’Follow Distance/Lane Position.’ Options include:

offset to the right, offset to the left, or center. The default lane position is center.

If the micro-steering of LKA cannot compensate for the sideways movement of the vehicle and the vehicle crosses over the lane markings with no turn signal activation, LDW issues a warning as follows:

• The exceeded lane markings appear in red on the driver display screen.

• The volume of the audio equipment and/or hands-free system is muted.

• A warning rumble strip sound is broadcast from the speaker on the side of the exceeded lane markings.

If the driver does not steer the vehicle back into the lane or activate a turn signal, a warning notification appears on the driver display and LDP intervenes. An acoustic warning sounds while LDP guides the vehicle back into the center of the lane.

LDW does not issue a warning about traveling over lane markings if:

• a turn signal is switched on;

• a driving safety system, such as ABA, stability control, or ACC intervenes.

LDW only issues a visual warning about traveling over lane markings if the driver is braking, accelerating, or making a sharp turn.

In addition to helping keep the vehicle in the desired lane position, LKA monitors the driver’s hands on the steering wheel. If LKA senses the driver’s hands are not on the steering wheel, it issues a series of warnings.

If LKA is active and the driver takes their hands off the steering wheel for 15 seconds, an amber caution pop-up window appears telling the driver to return their hands to the steering wheel. Doing so will cause the pop-up window to disappear. See the figure, LKA Caution Popup Window, ICUC.

If the driver does not return their hands to the steering wheel, at 30 seconds a red warning pop-up window appears and an acoustical warning starts to sound every five seconds.

If the driver does not return their hands to the steering wheel, at 55 seconds the acoustical warning starts to sound every second.

If the driver does not return their hands to the steering wheel, at 60 seconds the acoustical warning becomes a continuous loud audible warning.

As soon as the driver places their hands on the steering wheel, the LKA visual and audible warnings cease and the hands-off count is reset to zero.

LKA becomes inactive when the driver activates a turn signal.

LKA deactivates with the intervention of LDW/LDP, the deactivation of ACC, and if deactivated by the driver.

Active Lane Assist (ALA) Switches

In a vehicle equipped with an ICC5, there are four possible switches related to active lane assist (ALA): two digital and two physical:

• A physical LDW off switch, shown in figure .

• A digital LDW off switch, shown in figure .

Pressing either a physical or digital LKA OFF switch turns off LKA for the key cycle. The switch light illuminates to show that LKA is off. Pressing the switch or restarting the vehicle turns LKA on.

A driver might want to turn off LDW on winding roads or when driving through construction zones or other areas where lane markings are not clear.

Left- and Right-Side Tiles

The driver can access the left- and right-side tiles by pressing the 'home' button on the steering wheel. See figure . The first press activates the left side tile and each additional press changes the active side from left to right. See figure .

Identical tiles are located on the left and right sides of the instrument panel, allowing for customization by the driver. See figure . The right side has an additional 'Settings' tile to access the settings menu. The available tiles are:

• Blank (if the driver does not want a tile to appear)

• Regenerative Braking

• Battery Temperature

• Battery Charge

• Tire Pressure Monitoring System (optional)

• Trip 1

• Trip 2

• Settings (right-side tile only)

Pressing the 'up' or 'down' arrows on the steering wheel navigates through the tiles on the active side. Pressing OK on the steering wheel to confirm the tile selection, or five seconds of inactivity, deactivates the active tile and the currently displayed tiles will be shown in the instrument panel. The active tile is indicated with a square container around the tile and may contain messaging if the tile has resettable information or is the 'Settings' tile. See figure .

The Trip 1 and Trip 2 tiles contain information that can be reset by holding the OK button on the steering wheel for three seconds when the tile is active. This action is displayed to the user with a circular confirmation ring that fills clockwise around the OK button graphic at the bottom of the active tile as shown in figure .

Settings Tile

The settings tile allows the driver to access the settings menu by holding the OK button on the steering wheel for three seconds when the tile is active. This action is displayed to the user with a circular confirmation ring that fills clockwise around the OK button graphic at the bottom of the active tile. See figure for an example. After confirmation, the settings menu appears in the bottom center of the screen, as shown in figure . The driver uses the 'up' and 'down' arrows on the steering wheel to select the standard or metric speedometer, or diagnostics.

The driver can select 'Exit Menu' or hold the 'home' button on the steering wheel for three seconds to close the settings menu and return to the active settings tile on the right side of the instrument panel.

Warning Messages

When a system fault is detected, a warning message appears in the upper left corner of the screen. See figure . There are two types of warnings, an amber warning, and a red warning for critical conditions. Depending on the type of warning, the driver may be able to press the OK button on the steering wheel to dismiss it. If the warning is critical, the driver may not be able to dismiss it.

Warning Message with the Vehicle in Reverse

When the vehicle is in reverse gear and is equipped with a 360-degree camera system, any active warning messages appear in the center of the instrument panel. For an example, see figure .

Tire Pressure Warning

When low or high tire pressure or temperature is detected, the left side tile transitions to tire pressure and a warning message appears in the upper-left corner. See figure . When the OK button on the steering wheel is pressed, the warning message disappears and the left tile transitions back to the previously selected tile. The tire pressure monitoring system indicator remains active until the condition is no longer present.

High Voltage Battery Charging (key off)

When the ignition is in the OFF position and the vehicle is connected to a battery charging dispenser (see the heading, Charging the High-Voltage Batteries) or the headlamps are turned on, the charging screen will illuminate for two minutes. See figure . This screen displays the high voltage battery temperature and odometer at the bottom of the screen. The center area provides a battery charging icon along with the current percent of battery charge.

High Voltage Battery Charging (key on)

When the ignition is in the ON position and the vehicle is connected to a battery charging dispenser (see the heading, Charging the High-Voltage Batteries), the charging screen transitions to display the left- and right-side tiles along with the gear, and low voltage battery information. In the top left of the display, a warning message appears, and the vehicle is locked in the park position until the charger is removed. If the driver tries to put the vehicle in gear with the charger still attached, the amber warning message and the center battery charging icon will flash. See figure .
