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.
LANE CHANGE ALERT WITH SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT
– While
driving, the system displays a
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 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 and display-
ing 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. The Lane Keep Assist 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 on the center of the
instrument panel to turn the system on or off.
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
Collision Alert
button on the steering wheel to
set the alert timing to Far, Medium or Near. This is also the
Adaptive Cruise Control–Advanced
♦
Following 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.
FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKING
– During daytime driving, the
system can detect 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 windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or rapid beeps
sound (if selected). The system may enhance driver braking or auto-
matically brake the vehicle, if you have not already done so.
To set to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle >
Collision/Detection Systems > Front Pedestrian Detection.
ENHANCED AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
– In detected
potential imminent collision situations with vehicles directly
ahead, the system can provide alerts and enhance driver braking or
apply the brakes, if you have not already done so, to help reduce the
severity or help avoid collisions at very low speeds.
To set Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward
Collision Alert to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings >
Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Forward Collision
System.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
Safety or driver assistance features are no 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.
