SAFETY ALERT SEAT – The driver’s seat pulses (left, right, or
both sides) to alert you of the direction of potential hazards.
FORWARD COLLISION ALERT – The
Vehicle Ahead
indicator is green when a vehicle that you’re following is
detected ahead and is amber when you’re following a 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
♦
Following Gap setting.
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING – At speeds below
50 mph, the system works with Forward Collision Alert to
help you avoid or reduce the severity of a front-end collision
with a vehicle you're following. Camera technology is used to
automatically provide hard emergency braking or enhance the
driver's hard braking.
BLIND ZONE STEERING ASSIST – The system works to help
you avoid a potential collision with a detected vehicle in an
adjacent lane. 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 warning symbol flashes if a turn signal is activated when a
vehicle has been detected on the same side.
To help avoid collisions due to unintentional lane departures,
the system may gently turn the steering wheel as the vehicle
approaches a detected lane marking. The green
Lane Keep
Assist indicator will turn amber. If active driver steering is not
detected, the amber indicator 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. Alerts
do not occur when using the turn signal or intentional lane
departure is detected.
If a vehicle is detected in the adjacent lane that you are
entering, the system provides an urgent steering wheel turn to
alert you to take action and the Safety Alert Seat may pulse or
beeps may sound (if selected). The green
Lane Keep Assist
indicator will turn amber and the
warning symbol will flash
on the left- or right-side mirror.
The system does not continuously steer the vehicle; the driver
needs to steer and be in complete control of the vehicle.
To turn the system on or off, press the
Lane Keep
Assist button (A) on the center of the instrument panel.
