DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Safety or driver assistance features are not a substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate
the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road
conditions at all times. Read your Owner’s Manual for important feature limitations and information.
LANE CHANGE ALERT WITH SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT
F
—
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 area. The warning symbol flash-
es if a turn signal is activated when a vehicle has been detected on the same side.
To turn on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Lane
ChangeAlert on the infotainment screen.
LANE KEEP ASSIST WITH LANE DEPARTURE WARNING
F
— The system may help you
avoid collisions due to unintentional lane departures. The Lane Keep Assist indicator
is green if the system is available to assist. If the vehicle unintentionally approaches a
detected lane marking, the system may assist by gently turning the steering wheel to
help prevent lane departure and displays an amber . If active driver steering is not
detected, the amber may flash and 3 beeps may sound on the side of the departure
direction as the lane marking is crossed. The system does not continuously steer the
vehicle; the driver needs to steer and be in complete control of the vehicle. Alerts do
not occur when using the turn signal in the lane departure direction or intentional lane
departure is detected.
To turn on or off, press the Lane Keep Assist button on the steering wheel.
FORWARD COLLISION ALERT
F
— The Vehicle Ahead Indicator is green on the
instrument cluster when a vehicle that you’re following is detected ahead 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 rapid beeps sound.
Press the Forward Collision Alert button on the steering wheel to set the alert
timing to Far, Medium, or Near. The setting is displayed on the Driver Information
Center.
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
F
— At speeds below 50 mph, the system works with
Forward Collision Alert to help you avoid or reduce the severity of a front-end collision
with a vehicle you’re following. Camera technology is used to automatically provide hard
emergency braking or enhance the driver’s hard braking.
To set Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Alert to Alert and Brake,
Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Forward Collision
System on the infotainment screen.
FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKING
F
— During daytime driving below 50 mph, the system can
detect pedestrians directly ahead and displays an amber indicator. When approaching
a detected pedestrian too quickly, a red alert flashes on the windshield and rapid beeps
sound. The system may also automatically provide hard emergency braking or enhance
the driver’s hard braking. Nighttime and low-visibility performance are limited.
To set the system to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/
Detection Systems > Front Pedestrian Detection on the infotainment screen.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
