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 puls-
ing alerts. To change the alert setting, go to Settings > Vehicle >
Collision/Detection Systems > Alert Type.
Forward Collision Alert
♦
– The
Vehicle Ahead
indicator is
green on the instrument cluster when a vehicle is detected and is
amber when 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.
To set the alert timing, press the
Following Gap
button on
the left side of the steering wheel. The setting is displayed on
the Driver Information Center (A).
Following Distance
Indicator

– The following
time to the vehicle ahead
is indicated in seconds on
the Driver Information
Center (B). If no vehicle is
detected ahead, dashes are
displayed.
Adaptive Cruise Control
♦
– If a vehicle is detected
ahead, the vehicle accelerates or brakes moderately to maintain the
driver-selected cruise speed and following gap.
To set a following gap, press the
Following Gap
button on
the left side of the steering wheel.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
♦
– May help
avoid crashes due to unintentional lane departures. The
is
green if the system is available to assist. It may assist by gently
turning the steering wheel and display an amber
if the vehicle
approaches a detected lane marking without using a turn signal in
that direction. If active driver steering is not detected, the amber
may flash and the Safety Alert Seat may pulse three times on
the side of the departure direction as the lane marking is crossed.
To turn the systems on or off, press the
Lane Keep Assist
button on the left side of the instrument panel.
Front and Rear Automatic Braking

brakes in potential collision situations to help reduce damage or
help avoid collisions with vehicles directly ahead or behind, and
with some objects behind.
To change the setting to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Forward
Collision System.
To turn the Rear Automatic Braking system on or off, press the
Park Assist
button on the left side of the instrument panel.
This will also turn on/off the Park Assist and Rear Cross Traffic
Alert systems.
Side Blind Zone Alert with 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 Systems > Lane Change Alert.
The driver assistance systems use advanced technologies to help avoid collisions by providing visual, audible and/or tactile (vibration) alerts.
