DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
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 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. This is also
the Adaptive Cruise Control
♦
Following Gap setting.
FOLLOWING DISTANCE INDICATOR
♦
– The following distance to a
vehicle detected 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
– 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.
LANE CHANGE ALERT WITH SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT
♦
– While
driving, the system displays a
symbol on the left or right side
mirror when a moving vehicle is detected rapidly approaching or
is in that side blind zone area. The 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.
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 approaches a detected
lane marking without using a turn signal in that direction, the
system may assist by gently turning the steering wheel to help
prevent lane departure and display an amber
indicator.
If active driver steering is not detected, the amber
indicator
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 mark-
ing is crossed. The system does not continuously steer the vehicle;
the driver needs to steer and be in complete control of the vehicle.
Press the
Lane Keep Assist
button (A) on the center of the
instrument panel to turn the system on or off.
FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKING
– During daytime driving below 50
mph, the system can detect pedestrians directly ahead and display
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
also automatically provide hard emergency braking or enhance the
driver’s hard braking. Nighttime and low-visibility performance are
limited.
To set to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle >
Collision/Detection Systems > Front Pedestrian Detection.
