DRIVER AWARENESS PACKAGE
Low-Speed Forward Automatic Braking
– The brakes may
be applied automatically in potential collision situations to help
reduce damage or help avoid collisions with vehicles directly ahead.
To turn the system on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/
Detection Systems > Forward Collision System.
Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
– While driv-
ing, 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 (Front-Wheel
Drive models)
– The system may help avoid collisions due to unin-
tentional 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 direc-
tion, the system may assist by gently turning the steering wheel and
displaying 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.
To turn the system on or off, press the
Lane Keep Assist
button
on the center of the instrument panel.
Lane Departure Warning (All-Wheel Drive models)
– When
crossing a detected lane marking without using a turn signal in that
direction, the system flashes an amber on the instrument cluster
and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or beeps sound (if selected) on the
side of the lane departure direction.
To turn the system on or off, press the
Lane Departure
Warning
button on the center of the instrument panel.
Forward Collision Alert
– The
Vehicle Ahead
indicator is green
on the instrument cluster 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
beeps sound (if selected).
To set the alert timing,
press the
Following Gap
button on the left side of the steer-
ing wheel.
Following Distance Indicator
– The following time to the vehicle
ahead is indicated in seconds on the Driver Information Center.
If no vehicle is detected ahead, dashes are displayed.

view of the area surrounding the vehicle along with the front or rear
camera views are displayed on the infotainment screen.
To switch views, touch the front or rear camera screen button at
