DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
♦
Lane Departure Warning/Lane Keep Assist – The
Lane
Keep Assist indicator illuminates in green on the instrument clus-
ter when a lane marking is detected. 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 and
providing a Lane Departure Warning alert by flashing an amber
and pulsing the Safety Alert Seat.
To turn the system on or off, press the
Lane Keep Assist
button on the steering wheel.
Front Pedestrian Braking – During daytime driving, the system
detects pedestrians directly ahead up to a distance of approximate-
ly 131 ft. and displays an amber indicator. When approaching a
detected pedestrian too quickly, a visual alert flashes on the wind-
shield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses. The system may prepare
the brakes or automatically brake the vehicle.
To set the system to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection > Front Pedestrian
Detection.
Night Vision – A thermal heat image of the view ahead displays
on the instrument cluster when it is dark outside. An amber indica-
tor displays when a pedestrian or animal is detected and a red
alert displays on the HUD and the Safety Alert Seat pulses when
approaching a pedestrian too quickly.
The system is turned on/off along with Front Pedestrian
Braking. Go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection > Front
Pedestrian Detection.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
The driver assistance systems use advanced technologies to help avoid collisions by providing visual, audible and/or tactile (vibration) alerts.
Safety Alert Seat – The driver’s seat pulses — left side, right side
or simultaneously — to alert the driver of potential hazards.
Audible alerts may be selected instead of Safety Alert Seat
pulsing alerts. To change the alert settings, go to Settings >
Vehicle > Collision/Detection > Alert Type.
Forward Collision Alert – The Vehicle Ahead indicator illumi-
nates in green on the instrument cluster when a vehicle is detected
and illuminates in amber when following a vehicle ahead too
closely. If your vehicle approaches another vehicle too rapidly, the
flashes, a visual alert flashes on the windshield and the Safety
Alert Seat pulses.
Press the
Collision Alert button on the steering wheel to
set the alert timing to Far, Medium, or Near.
Front Automatic Braking – The brakes may be applied in poten-
tial collision situations to help reduce damage or help avoid colli-
sions with vehicles directly ahead.
To set the Forward Collision Alert and Front Automatic Braking
systems to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings >
Vehicle > Collision/Detection > Auto Collision Preparation.
Side Blind Zone Alert/Lane Change Alert – While driving, the
system displays a
warning symbol on the left or right side
mirror when a vehicle is detected in that side blind zone area or
rapidly approaching that area. The warning symbol flashes if a turn
signal is activated when a vehicle has been detected.
To turn the system on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle >
Collision/Detection > Lane Change Alert.
