DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS

F

Optional equipment

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 more important feature limitations and information.

Safety Alert Seat

 — The driver’s seat pulses (left, right, or both sides) to alert you of the 

direction of potential hazards.

  Audible alerts may be selected instead of seat pulsing alerts. To change the alert 

 settings, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Alert Type.

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 

flashes on the windshield or in the HUD

F

 and rapid beeps sound or the Safety Alert Seat 

pulses (if selected).

  Press the 

Forward Collision Alert

 button on the steering wheel to set the alert tim-

ing to Far, Medium, or Near. The setting is displayed on the Driver Information Center.

Automatic Emergency Braking

 — In detected, potentially imminent collision situations with 

vehicles being followed directly ahead, the system can provide alerts and enhance driver 

braking or automatically apply hard emergency braking, if you have not already done so, 

to help reduce the severity or help avoid collisions at very low speeds. The system works at 

speeds below 50 mph.

  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.

Front Pedestrian Braking

 — During daytime 

 driving, the system can detect pedestrians 

directly ahead and displays an amber   indica-

tor. When approaching a detected pedestrian 

too quickly, a red alert flashes on the windshield 

or in the HUD

F

 and rapid beeps sound or the 

Safety Alert Seat pulses (if selected). The system 

may automatically provide hard emergency braking or enhance the driver’s hard  braking. 

The system works at speeds below 50 mph. Nighttime and low-visibility performance is 

limited. 

  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

 — 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 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 beeps may sound or the Safety Alert Seat may pulse (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 on or off, press the 

Lane Keep Assist

 button on the center console.

See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
