DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
♦
Forward/Reverse Automatic Braking
– The brakes may be
applied automatically in potential collision situations to help
reduce damage or help avoid collisions with vehicles directly ahead
or behind, and with some objects behind.
To set Forward Automatic Braking to Alert and Brake, Alert, or
Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems >
Auto Collision Preparation.
To set Reverse Automatic Braking to off, press the
Parking
Assist
button on the left side of the infotainment screen.
Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
– 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
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.
Front Pedestrian Braking
– During daytime driving, the system
detects pedestrians directly ahead up to a distance of approxi-
mately 131 ft. and displays an amber
indicator. When approach-
ing a detected pedestrian too quickly, a red alert flashes on the
windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or beeps sound (if
selected). The system may prepare the brakes or automatically
brake the vehicle.
To set to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle >
Collision/Detection Systems > Front Pedestrian Detection.
Safety Alert Seat
– The driver’s seat pulses — left side, right side
or simultaneously — to alert the driver of the direction of potential
hazards.
Audible alerts may be selected instead of Safety Alert 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 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).
Press the
Following Gap
button on the steering wheel to set
the alert timing to Far, Medium, or Near.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
– The system
may help avoid collisions due to unintentional 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 direction, the system may assist by gently
turning the steering wheel and display 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. 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 steering wheel.
