DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
SAFETY ALERT SEAT
–
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 of seat-pulsing alerts.
To change the alert settings, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/
Detection Systems > Alert Type.
FORWARD COLLISION ALERT
– The Vehicle Ahead Indicator
on the instrument cluster is green when a vehicle is detected ahead
that you’re following and is amber when following a detected vehicle
ahead much too closely. When approaching a detected 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. This is also
the Adaptive Cruise Control
♦
Follow Distance Gap setting.
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 front-end collisions with a detected vehicle
you're following. Camera technology is used to automatically pro-
vide 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.
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 unintentionally
approaches a detected lane marking, 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 flash 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 signal in the lane departure direction
or intentional lane departure is detected.
Press the
Lane Keep Assist
button on the instrument panel
center controls to turn the system on or off.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
