DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS

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. Read your Owner’s Manual for important feature limitations and information.

Safety Alert Seat

F

 — The driver’s seat pulses — left side, right side, or simultaneously — 

to alert the driver of the direction of potential hazards. 

  Audible alerts or seat pulsing alerts may be selected. To change the alert setting, go to 

Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Alert Type.

Forward Collision Alert

F

 — The   Vehicle Ahead Indicator is green on the instrument 

 cluster when a vehicle is detected and is amber when following a vehicle ahead much too 

closely. When approaching a detected vehicle directly ahead too rapidly, a red alert flash-

es 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. The setting is displayed on the Driver Information Center.

Follow Distance Indicator

F

 — The follow 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. 

Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking

F

 — In 

detected potential imminent collision situations with vehi-

cles 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.

Front Pedestrian Braking

F

 — During daytime driving, the system can detect pedestrians 

directly ahead up to a distance of approximately 131 feet 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 automatically brake the vehicle, if you have not already 

done so. 

  To set the system to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/

Detection Systems > Front Pedestrian Detection.

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

F

 — The system may help avoid collisions 

due to unintentional lane departures. The 

 Lane Keep Assist Indicator is green on the 

instrument cluster 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 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 selected) 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.

  To turn the system on or off, press the 

Lane Keep Assist

 button (A) on the center of 

the instrument panel.
