Traction Control and StabiliTrak Systems
The driver assistance systems use advanced technologies to help avoid collisions by
providing visual and audible alerts under some imminent collision conditions.
Forward Collision Alert
F
– The
Vehicle Ahead indicator will illuminate in green on
the instrument cluster when a vehicle is detected and will illuminate in amber when
following a vehicle ahead too closely.
If your vehicle approaches another vehicle too rapidly, a red alert will flash on the
windshield and rapid beeps will sound.
Press the
Collision Alert
button on the left side of the steering wheel to set the
alert timing to Far, Medium, Near, or Off. The setting is displayed on the Driver
Information Center.
Lane Departure Warning
F
– When crossing a detected lane marking, without using a
turn signal, the system flashes an amber indicator on the instrument cluster and beeps
sound on the left or right side of the vehicle.
Press the
Lane Departure Warning
button on the center of the instrument panel
to turn the system on or off.
Rear Vision Camera

To turn the Rear Vision Camera Guidelines on or off, go to Settings > Rear Camera.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
The traction control system limits wheelspin and
the StabiliTrak
®
stability control system assists
with directional control of the vehicle in difficult
driving conditions. Both systems turn on auto-
matically every time the vehicle is started.
Turn off traction control if the vehicle is stuck
and rocking the vehicle is required.
Press the
Traction Control/StabiliTrak Off
button on the center of the instrument panel
to turn traction control off or back on. The
Traction Control Off light will illuminate
on the instrument cluster when the system is off.
