DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
To turn the following driver assistance systems on/off or to
change the system settings, go to Settings > Vehicle >
Collision/Detection Systems on the infotainment screen.
SAFETY ALERT SEAT – The driver’s seat cushion pulses
– left, right, or both sides — to alert you of the direction of
potential hazards. Audible alerts may be selected instead.
FORWARD COLLISION ALERT – The Vehicle Ahead
indicator is green on the instrument cluster when a vehicle is
detected and is amber when following a vehicle ahead much
too closely. When approaching a detected vehicle directly
ahead too rapidly, a red alert flashes on the windshield and the
Safety Alert Seat pulses or rapid beeps sound (if selected).
Press the
Forward Collision Alert button on the
steering wheel to set the alert timing to Far, Medium, or
Near.
ENHANCED AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING – The
system works with Forward Collision Alert to help you avoid
or reduce the severity of front-end collisions with a detected
vehicle you're following. Radar and camera technology are used
to automatically provide hard emergency braking or enhance
the driver's hard braking.
FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKING WITH BICYCLIST
DETECTION – During daytime driving, the system detects
pedestrians and bicycles directly ahead and displays an amber
indicator on the instrument cluster. When approaching a
detected pedestrian or bicycle too quickly, a red alert flashes
on the windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or rapid
beeps sound (if selected). The system may automatically
provide hard emergency braking or enhance the driver’s hard
braking. Nighttime and low-visibility performance are limited.
BLIND ZONE STEERING ASSIST –
The system works to
help you avoid a potential collision with a detected vehicle in an
adjacent lane.
While driving, the system displays a
warning symbol on
the left- or right-side mirror when a moving vehicle is detected
rapidly approaching or is in that side blind zone. The warning
symbol flashes if a turn signal is activated when a vehicle has
been detected on the same side.
To help avoid collisions due to unintentional lane departures,
the system may gently turn the steering wheel as the vehicle
approaches a detected lane marking. The green
Lane Keep
Assist indicator will turn amber. If active driver steering is not
detected, the amber indicator may flash, and the Safety Alert
Seat may pulse or beeps may sound (if selected) on the side of
the departure direction, as the lane marking is crossed. Alerts
do not occur when using the turn signal or intentional lane
departure is detected.
If a vehicle is detected in the adjacent lane that you are
entering, the system provides an urgent steering wheel turn to
alert you to take action and the Safety Alert Seat may pulse or
beeps may sound (if selected). The green
Lane Keep Assist
indicator will turn amber and the
warning symbol will flash
on the left- or right-side mirror.
The system does not continuously steer the vehicle; the driver
needs to steer and be in complete control of the vehicle.
To turn on or off, press the
Lane Keep Assist button
on the left side of the instrument panel.
