DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMSF
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.
SAFETY ALERT SEAT – The driver’s seat pulses — left side, right side or simultaneously —
to alert the driver of the direction of potential hazards.
Audible alerts or seat-pulsing alerts may be selected. To change the alert settings,
goto Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Alert Type.
LANE CHANGE ALERT WITH SIDE BLIND
ZONE ALERT – 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 turn on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle
> Collision/Detection Systems > Lane
Change Alert.
FORWARD COLLISION ALERT – The Vehicle Ahead Indicator is green when a vehicle
that you’re following is detected and is amber when you’re following a vehicle ahead
much too closely. When approaching a 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.
FOLLOWING DISTANCE INDICATOR – The following distance to the vehicle ahead is
indicated in seconds under the Info menu on the Driver Information Center. If no vehicle
is detected ahead, dashes are displayed.
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING – 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.
FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKING – 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 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.
To set to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems > Front Pedestrian Detection.
