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 settings, go to 

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

Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert

F

While driving, the system 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 area. 

The warning symbol flashes if a turn signal is activated when a vehicle has been detected 

on the same side.

  To turn the system on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > 

Lane Change Alert.

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure 

Warning

F

The system may help you 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 display 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 vehi-

cle; 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 on the  center of the 

instrument panel.

Forward Collision Alert

F

The 

 Vehicle Ahead Indicator illuminates 

in green when a vehicle is detected and 

illuminates in amber when following a vehicle 

ahead much too closely. When approaching 

a vehicle directly ahead too rapidly, a red 

alert flashes 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. This is also the Adaptive Cruise Control – Advanced gap setting.
