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.

Buick Driver Confidence Package

Forward Collision Alert

 — The   Vehicle Ahead indicator is green on the instrument 

 cluster when a vehicle that you're following is detected ahead and is amber when following 

a vehicle ahead much too closely. When approaching a detected vehicle directly ahead 

too rapidly, a red alert flashes on the windshield and rapid beeps sound. 

  Press the 

Forward 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

 — The following distance to the vehicle detected ahead is 

indicated in seconds on the Driver Information Center Info menu. 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 

emergency 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 on the infotainment screen.

Front Pedestrian Braking

 — During daytime 

driving below 50 mph, the system can detect 

pedestrians directly ahead and display an amber 

 indicator on the instrument cluster. When 

approaching a detected pedestrian too quickly, 

a red alert flashes on the windshield and rapid 

beeps sound. The system may also automatically 

provide hard emergency braking or enhance the 

driver's hard braking. Nighttime and low-visibility 

performance are limited.

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

Detection Systems > Front Pedestrian Detection on the infotainment screen.

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

 — 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 to help prevent lane departure and display an amber 

. 

If active driver steering is not detected, the amber 

 may flash and 3 beeps may sound 

on the side of the departure direction as the lane marking is crossed. The system does not 

continuously steer the vehicle; the driver needs to steer and be in control of the vehicle. 

  To turn the system on or off, press the 

Lane Keep Assist 

button on the center  console.

Note:

 IntelliBeam automatic high-beam headlamps are included with the Buick Driver Confidence Package.
