The driver assistance systems use advanced technologies to help avoid collisions by
providing visual and audible alerts under some imminent collision conditions.
Adaptive Cruise Control
F
– Enhances traditional cruise control by enabling the vehicle
to maintain a driver-selected following gap, and assisting the driver in avoiding follow-
ing other vehicles too closely. It automatically maintains the following gap by controlling
vehicle acceleration and applying limited braking when needed.
Press the
GAP Follow Distance Gap
button on the left side of the steering wheel to set
a following gap.
Forward Collision Alert
F
– When approaching a vehicle directly ahead too rapidly, the
system flashes a visual alert and sounds a high-pitched audible tone. If equipped with
full-range Adaptive Cruise Control, Active Emergency Braking automatically applies the
brakes to help reduce the impact speed if a front-end collision appears imminent.
Press the
Collision Alert
button on the left side of the steering wheel to set the
alert timing to Far, Medium, Near, or Off.
Lane Departure Warning
F
– When crossing a detected lane marking without using a turn
signal, the system flashes an amber visual alert and sounds a low-pitched audible tone.
Press the
Lane Departure Warning
button on the left side of the instrument panel
to turn the system on or off.
Side Blind Zone Alert/Lane Change Alert
F
– While driving, the Side Blind Zone Alert/
Lane Change Alert displays a
warning symbol on the left or right side mirror when a
vehicle is detected in that side blind zone area or rapidly approaching that side blind zone
area. The warning symbol flashes if a turn signal is activated when a vehicle has been
detected.
To turn off the system, see the Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Lane
Change Alert menu.
Rear Vision Camera
F
– The system may help the driver avoid accidents by providing a
view directly behind the vehicle when backing up. As part of the system, the Rear Cross
Traffic Alert warns of traffic coming from the left or right when the vehicle is backing up
by displaying a visual alert on the Rear Vision Camera touchscreen and sounding a low-
pitched audible tone.
To turn the Rear Cross Traffic Alert on or off, see the Settings > Vehicle > Collision/
Detection Systems > Rear Cross Traffic Alert menu.
Rear Parking Assist
F
– During low-speed parking maneuvers, the system may help the
driver in avoiding collisions with objects by providing distance-to-closest-object informa-
tion in the Driver Information Center and a caution symbol on the Rear Vision Camera. An
audible tone sounds when the vehicle should be stopped immediately to avoid a collision.
To turn the system on or off, press the
Parking Assist
button on the left side of
the instrument panel.
