DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
F
Optional equipment
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 more important feature limitations and information.
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.
Forward Collision Alert
— The Vehicle Ahead indicator is green when a vehicle that
you’re following is detected ahead and is amber when you’re following a vehicle ahead
much too closely. When approaching a detected vehicle directly ahead too rapidly, a red
alert flashes on the windshield or in the HUD
F
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 tim-
ing to Far, Medium, or Near. The setting is displayed on the Driver Information Center.
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 following. 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.
Front Pedestrian Braking
— During daytime driv-
ing below 50 mph, the system can detect pedes-
trians directly ahead and displays an amber
indicator. When approaching a detected
pedestrian too quickly, a red alert flashes on
the windshield or in the HUD
F
and the Safety
Alert Seat pulses or rapid beeps sound (if
selected). The system may automatically provide
hard emergency braking or enhance the driver’s hard braking. Nighttime and low-visibility
performance are limited.
To set the system to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/
Detection Systems > Front Pedestrian Detection.
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 unintentionally approaches a detected lane
marking, the system may assist by gently turning the steering wheel to help prevent lane
departure and displays 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 selected) on the
side of the departure direction as the lane marking is crossed. The system does not continu-
ously steer the vehicle; the driver needs to steer and be in complete control of the vehicle.
Alerts do not occur when using the turn signal in the lane departure direction or intentional
lane departure is detected.
To turn on or off, press the
Lane Keep Assist
button on the center console.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
