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 trac, surroundings and road
conditions at all times. Read your Owner’s Manual for important feature limitations and information.
SAFETY ALERT SEATF – 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, go to
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Alert Type.
FORWARD COLLISION ALERT – The Vehicle Ahead Indicator is green when a vehicle is
detected ahead that you’re following and is amber when following a vehicle ahead much
too closely. When approaching a vehicle directly ahead too rapidly, a red alert ashes on the
windshield and rapid beeps sound or the Safety Alert SeatFpulses (if selected).
Press the Forward Collision Alert button on the steering wheel to set the alert timing
to Far, Medium, or Near. This is also the Adaptive Cruise ControlFfollowing gap setting.
FOLLOWING DISTANCE INDICATOR – The following distance to the vehicle ahead is indicat-
ed 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 O, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Forward Collision System.
LANE KEEP ASSIST WITH LANE DEPARTURE WARNING – 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 approaches a detected lane marking without
using a turn signal in that direction, the system may assist by gently turning the steering
wheel to help prevent lane departure and display an amber . If active driver steering is
not detected, the amber may ash and beeps may sound or the Safety Alert SeatFmay
pulse (if selected) 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.
To turn on or o, press the Lane Keep Assist button on the center console.
FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKING – During daytime driving below 50 mph, the system can
detect pedestrians directly ahead and display an amber indicator. When approaching a
detected pedestrian too quickly, a red alert ashes on the windshield and rapid beeps sound
or the Safety Alert SeatFpulses (if selected). The system may also automatically provide
hard emergency braking or enhance the driver’s hard braking. Nighttime and low visibility
performance is limited.
To set to Alert and Brake, Alert, or O, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems > Front Pedestrian Detection.
LANE CHANGE ALERT WITH SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERTF– While driving, the system displays
a warning symbol on the left or right side mirror when a vehicle is detected rapidly
approaching or is in that side blind zone area. The warning symbol ashes if a turn signal is
activated when a vehicle has been detected on the same side.
To turn on or o, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Lane Change Alert.
