Grand cherokee L Limited - Active Lane Management System (self driving???)

[duke447]

Does enabling adaptive cruise control and active lane management system in JGC L Limited allows vehicle to drive by itself without steering input for few seconds?
Dealership guy tells me that only summit and summit reserve can do self driving for few seconds.

I know my overland has the feature. I wouldn't say it drives itself but it will drive straight and handle slight curves by itself. No stop signs, red lights, intersections or curves that require a decrease in speed.

Thank you for your reply. I want to see how this feature works in limited. From what I see lane managment specs are same for limited and overland. But for summit they are calling it active driver assist. Trying to find out difference between active lane managment and active drive assist.

You do get both features on Limited but they are not part of active driving assist.
Overland comes with it when Avd Pro Tech package is added, std for Summit.

I can confirm with lane assist the car will drive itself for about 30 seconds then been and shut off. You will get pulled over because it drives like a drunk. Just make sure there’s no turns or other cars around and your on a road that you are comfortable with the shoulders being large in case you need to take over. Just do it once to get it out of your system.. lmao

Hmm that's not normal. Mine drives super straight. I can use it with most city driving and 100% of highway driving. Depends on how good the lines on the road are though. It's especially great with dark rainy conditions where you can't see the lines but the cars system can.

I used mine on a trip from PA to NC. Used it for highway driving and never had a problem. Drove centered between the lines. The conditions were dry and sunny.

It's especially great with dark rainy conditions where you can't see the lines but the cars system can.

The manual specifically warns against using it in those conditions.

You should turn off the Active Driving Assist
system:
 When driving in complex driving situations (e.g.
urban environments, construction zones, etc.),
adverse weather (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 off-ramp, when
driving on roads that are icy, snow covered, or
slippery.

 When circumstances do not allow safe driving
at a constant speed.

Iv put in on in my Limited and it definitely isnt considered driverless by any means. It will “bounce” the steering wheel from one side to the other. Like someone else mentioned “like a drunk driver”

Your limited doesn't have the self driving feature. So you're just using the active lane management which is just meant to tell you you are getting closer to the line.

Exactly How the question was originally phrased was exactly how I answered it.

Limited with active lane management NOT SELF DRIVING

 

[Immtbiker]

In the settings menu, you can choose from 3 settings on how aggressive you want the Lane Management to react (like hot sauce…mild/medium/or hot).

The settings are aggressively different.

That’s active lane management. If you turn on ACC (adaptive cruise control) and conditions are right then the little car symbol between the two line also turns green. In that case GCL limited also holds on to the lane (steers) and not bounce between the lane but in my experience it’s doesn’t holds on to sharp curves and turn off.
That’s where the early/medium/late detection and easy/medium/strong active steering settings help steering when ACC is on

The active lane mangement should work whether or not you have the ACC(adaptive cruise control) turned on or off. They can work together, but they are 2 different features. And you can use one without the other....

I personally hate the Active Lane Management System and keep it turned off. I like being able to gradually change lanes when passing a vehicle. However, this system fights your steering input requiring excessive steering input resulting in an abrupt lane change which is very noticeable to the passengers. It is especially unnerving on two-lane roads when passing in the oncoming lane when it fights crossing back to your lane. To say the least, it would be unsettling to anyone driving the vehicle that wasn’t aware of this feature.

 

[Jrseidel]

I don’t mind the feature. If you use your turn signals, the system seems to temporarily turn off so you can gradually change lanes and not have to fight any resistance. I really appreciate the system and will leave it turned on. But I’m sure it’s a personal preference.

You shouldn’t gradually change lanes without turn signals. If you indicate it doesn’t fight you 🙃

I do turn it off when driving through construction zones, and always leave it on when snacking 😀

This ^^^

It will not fight lane changes if you signal. But half the time it drives like a drunken sailor for no good reason. I've been using it on the interstate on perfect roads (ie new w good paint lines, etc), and it will weave back and forth in the lane, other times stay perfectly centered, on the same road, same pavement, same lines. I noticed after stopping for fuel that when I got back on the highway, it started driving straight again where prior to the fuel stop it was driving like a hammered old man. Maybe the cycling of the ignition helped reset it, I'm not sure. My car has an insane amount of problems with the whole Uconnect system, so who knows what the bounds of their software/hardware problems are, it may be related.

Are you talking about active lane management or highway driving assist? They are two different systems. Highway lane assist I believe is an option in Overland and standard on Summit and SR.
