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 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 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
♦
Follow Distance Gap setting.
FOLLOWING DISTANCE
INDICATOR
– The following
distance to the vehicle ahead
is indicated in seconds under
the Info menu on the Driver
Information Center. If no
vehicle is detected ahead,
dashes are displayed.
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 providing brief, gentle steering wheel turns
and displaying 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 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 moving vehicle is detected rapidly
approaching or is in a side
blind zone. 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.
