DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS

Safety or driver assistance features are not a 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.

Forward Collision Alert

– The   Vehicle Ahead Indicator is green when a vehicle that 

you’re following is detected ahead and is amber when you’re following a vehicle ahead 

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

es on the windshield and rapid beeps sound or the Safety Alert Seat

F

 pulses (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

F

 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.

Automatic Emergency Braking

 – At speeds below 50 mph, the system works with 

Forward Collision Alert to help you avoid or reduce the severity of a front-end collision with 

a vehicle you’re following. Camera technology is used to automatically provide hard emer-

gency braking or enhance the driver’s hard braking. 

  To set Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Alert to Alert and Brake, Alert, 

or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Forward Collision System. 

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

– The system may help you avoid col-

lisions due to unintentional lane departures. The   Lane Keep Assist indicator is green if 

the system is available to assist. If the vehicle unintentionally approaches a detected lane 

marking, the system may assist by gently turning the steering wheel to help prevent lane 

departure and displays an amber  . If active driver steering is not detected, the amber 

 may flash and beeps may sound or the Safety Alert Seat

F

 may pulse (if selected) on 

the side of the departure direction as the lane 

marking is crossed. The system does not continu-

ously steer the vehicle; the driver needs to steer 

and be in complete control of the vehicle. Alerts 

do not occur when using the turn signal in the 

lane departure direction or intentional lane depar-

ture is detected.

  To turn on or off, press the 

Lane Keep 

Assist

 button (A) on the center of the 

 instrument  panel.

Front Pedestrian Braking

– During daytime driving below 50 mph, the system can detect 

 pedestrians directly ahead and displays an amber   indicator. When approaching a 

detected pedestrian too quickly, a red alert flashes on the windshield and rapid beeps 

sound or the Safety Alert Seat

F

 pulses (if selected). The system may automatically provide 

hard emergency braking or enhance the driver’s hard braking. Nighttime and low-visibility 

performance are limited.

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

Systems > Front Pedestrian Detection.
