Head Up Display
When your vehicle rapidly approaches another
vehicle, a red warning light flashes and a tone
sounds. The brake support system assists you in
reducing any collision speed by pre-charging the
brakes. If the risk of collision continues to increase
after the audio-visual warning, the brake support
prepares the brake system for rapid braking.
The system does not automatically activate the
brakes, but if you press the brake pedal, even
lightly, the brakes apply full stopping power.

Advanced Electronic Door System
Your vehicle has an intelligent, electronically-controlled door system that is in
constant communication with the overall vehicle systems
.
When you lock your vehicle using the lock switch on each door interior trim
panel or by using the keyless entry keypad or the lock sensor on each door
exterior trim panel, all exterior door handle switches turn off. This helps to
secure your vehicle and prevent unauthorized entry. The exterior door handle
switches also turn off when your vehicle reaches a speed greater than 12 mph
(20 km/h). A tone may sound indicating the exterior door handle switches are
turned off and your vehicle is secure.
If the airbags deploy or the fuel pump shutoff switch activates, all interior and
exterior unlock switches turn off for six seconds. This helps to secure the doors
in the event of a crash. After six seconds, all switches reset and you can open
the doors using the interior and exterior unlock switches. See the
