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 trac, surroundings and road
conditions at all times. Read your Owner’s Manual for important feature limitations and information.
To turn the following driver assistance systems on/o or to change the system settings,
go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems on the infotainment screen.
SAFETY ALERT SEAT
F – The driver’s seat pulses — left, right, or both sides — to
alert you of the direction of potential hazards. Audible alerts may be selected instead.
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 vehicle
is detected rapidly approaching or is in that side blind zone. The symbol ashes if a
turn signal is activated when a vehicle has been detected on the same side.
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.
FORWARD COLLISION ALERT
– The
Vehicle Ahead indicator is green when a
vehicle that you’re following is detected ahead and is amber when you’re following a
vehicle ahead much too closely. When approaching a detected vehicle directly ahead
too rapidly, a red alert ashes 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.
FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKING
– During daytime driving below 50 mph, the sys-
tem can detect pedestrians directly ahead and displays an amber
indicator. When
approaching a detected pedestrian too quickly, a red alert ashes 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.
REAR PEDESTRIAN ALERT
F – During daytime driving with the vehicle in Reverse,
the system can detect pedestrians directly behind the vehicle and will display an
amber indicator on the infotainment screen. When a pedestrian is detected close to
the vehicle, the indicator ashes red and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or rapid beeps
sound (if selected). Nighttime and low-visibility performance are limited.
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 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 ash 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. 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 sig-
nal in the lane departure direction or intentional lane departure is detected.
To turn on or o, press the Lane Keep Assist button on the instrument panel.
