DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Safety or driver assistance features are no 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 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 on the
same side.
To turn the system on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/
Detection Systems > Lane Change Alert.
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 approaches a detected
lane marking without using a turn signal in that direction, the
system may assist by gently turning the steering wheel and display-
ing 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 select-
ed) on the side of the departure direction as the lane marking is
crossed. The Lane Keep Assist system does not continuously steer
the vehicle; the driver needs to steer and be in complete control of
the vehicle.
Press the
Lane Keep Assist
button (A) on the center of the
instrument panel to turn the system on or off.
FORWARD COLLISION ALERT
♦
– The Vehicle Ahead Indicator
is green 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 or rapid beeps sound (if selected).
Press the
Collision Alert
button on the steering wheel to set
the alert timing to Far, Medium or Near. This is also the Adaptive
Cruise Control-Advanced
♦
Follow Distance Gap setting.
FORWARD/REVERSE AUTOMATIC BRAKING
♦
– In potential
front- and rear-end imminent collision situations with vehicles
directly ahead or behind, and with some objects behind your
vehicle, the brakes may be applied, if you have not already done so,
to help reduce the collision's severity or help avoid collisions at very
low speeds.
To set Forward Automatic Braking and Forward Collision Alert
to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle >
Collision/Detection Systems > Forward Collision System.
Press the
Park Assist
button on the center of the instru-
ment panel to turn Reverse Automatic Braking and Park Assist
on or off.
FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKING
♦
– During daytime driving, the
system detects pedestrians directly ahead up to a distance of
approximately 131 ft. and displays an amber
indicator. 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 prepare the brakes or automati-
cally brake the vehicle, if you have not already done so.
To set to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle >
Collision/Detection Systems > Front Pedestrian Detection.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner's Manual.
