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.
LANE CHANGE ALERT WITH SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT
– While
driving, the system displays a
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.
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 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 select-
ed) on the side of the departure direction as the lane marking is
crossed. In order to use this system safely, the driver needs to steer
and be in complete control of the vehicle.
Press the
Lane Keep Assist
button on the center of the
instrument panel to turn the system on or off.
FORWARD COLLISION ALERT
– The
Vehicle Ahead Indicator is
green on the instrument cluster when a vehicle that you're follow-
ing is detected ahead 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
Forward Collision Alert
button on the steering
wheel to set the 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 fol-
lowing. Camera technology is used to automatically provide 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.
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.
FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKING
– During daytime driving below 50
mph, the system can detect pedestrians directly ahead and display
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 also auto-
matically provide hard emergency braking or enhance the driver's
hard braking. 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.
