DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
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.
To turn the following driver assistance systems on/off or to change system settings,
go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems on the infotainment screen.
SAFETY ALERT SEAT
F
– The driver’s seat pulses — left side, right side or both sides — to
alert the driver of the direction of potential hazards. Audible alerts may be selected
instead.
FORWARD COLLISION ALERT
– The
Vehicle Ahead Indicator is green when a vehicle
that you’re following is detected and is amber when you’re 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 alert
timing to Far, Medium or Near.
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.
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
– The system works with Forward Collision Alert to
help you avoid or reduce the severity of front-end collisions with a detected vehicle
you’re following. The system works at speeds below 50 mph. Camera technology is used
to automatically provide hard emergency braking or enhance the driver’s hard braking.
FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKING
– During daytime driving below 50 mph, the system can
detect pedestrians directly ahead 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 automatically pro-
vide hard emergency braking or enhance the driver’s hard braking. Nighttime and low-
visibility performance are limited.
REAR PEDESTRIAN ALERT
F
– During daytime driving with the vehicle in Reverse, the
system can detect pedestrians directly behind the vehicle and will display an amber
indicator on the infotainment screen. When a pedestrian is detected close to the vehicle,
the indicator flashes red and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or rapid beeps sound (if
selected). Nighttime and low-visibility performance are limited.
LANE CHANGE ALERT WITH SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT
F
/TRAILER SIDE BLIND ZONE
ALERT
F
– 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, including the extended blind zone along the side of a trailer.* The warning symbol
flashes if a turn signal is activated when a vehicle has been detected on the same side.
F
Optional equipment. *Not compatible with all trailers. Some equipment shown may not be included in your vehicle.
