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 traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times.
Read your Owner’s Manual for important feature limitations and information.
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.
LANE CHANGE ALERT
WITH SIDE BLIND
ZONE ALERT – While
driving, the system
displays a
warning
symbol on the left- or
right-side mirror when a
moving vehicle is detected rapidly approaching or is in that side
blind zone. The symbol flashes if a turn signal is activated when
a vehicle has been detected on the same side.
To turn the system on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle >
Collision/Detection Systems > Lane Change Alert.
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.
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 displays 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 (A) on the
instrument-panel center controls to turn the system on
or off.
FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKING – During daytime driving
below 50 mph, the system can detect pedestrians directly
ahead and displays an amber indicator on the instrument
cluster. When approaching a detected pedestrian too quickly,
a red alert flashes 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, if you have not already done so. Nighttime
and low-visibility performance are limited.
To set to Alert and Brake, Alert or Off, go to Settings >
Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Front Pedestrian
Detection.
