DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Safety Alert Seat
♦
– The driver’s seat pulses — left side, right side,
or simultaneously — to alert the driver 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 indica-
tor 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
Collision Alert
button (A) on the steering wheel to
set the alert timing to Far, Medium or Near.
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, your vehicle.
To set Forward Automatic Braking to Alert and Brake, Alert, or
Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems >
Auto Collision Preparation.
To turn Parking Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Reverse
Automatic Braking on or off, press the
Parking Assist
button on the left side of the infotainment screen.
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 select-
ed), 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.
Press the
Lane Keep Assist
button (B) on the steering wheel
to turn the system on or off.
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 rap-
idly approaching that area. The warning symbol flashes if a turn sig-
nal 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 approximately
131 ft. and displays an amber
indicator. When approaching a
detected pedestrian too quickly, a red alert flashes on the wind-
shield 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.
