Optional equipment
Safety or driver assistance features are no 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.
Lane Departure Warning
F
The Lane Departure Warning Indicator on the instrument cluster is green when a lane
marking is detected. If a detected lane marking is crossed without using a turn signal in that
direction, the system flashes an amber indicator and 3 beeps sound on the side of the
departure direction.
To turn on or off, press the
Lane Departure Warning
button (A) on the center of the
instrument panel.
Forward Collision Alert
F
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 vehi-
cle directly ahead too rapidly, a red alert flashes on the windshield and rapid beeps sound.
Press the
Collision Alert
button on the steering wheel to select a following gap set-
ting of Far, Medium, Near, or Off.
Side Blind Zone Alert
F
While driving, the system displays a
warning symbol on the left or right side mirror
when a vehicle is detected in that side blind
zone area. The warning symbol flashes if a
turn signal is activated when a vehicle has
been detected on the same side.
To turn on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle
> Collision/Detection Systems > Side
Blind Zone Alert.
Traction Control and StabiliTrak
®
Systems
The traction control system limits wheelspin and the StabiliTrak stability control system assists
with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. Both systems turn on auto-
matically every time the vehicle is started.
Traction control should be turned off if the vehicle is stuck.
Press the
Traction Control/StabiliTrak
button on the center of the instrument panel to
turn traction control off or on again. The
Traction Control Off light will illuminate in the
instrument cluster when traction control is off.
Front and Rear Park Assist
F
During low-speed parking maneuvers, detected objects are indicated by audible beeps.
The interval between beeps becomes shorter as the vehicle gets closer to an object. When
the distance is less than 12 in. (30 cm), the beeps are continuous. The system operates
only at speeds less than 5 mph.
To turn on or off, press the
Park Assist
button (B) on the center of the instrument
panel.
