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 detected vehicle directly ahead too rapidly, a red 

alert flashes on the windshield or in the HUD

F

 and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or rapid 

beeps sound (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

 — 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.

Front Pedestrian Braking

 — During daytime driv-

ing below 50 mph, the system can detect pedes-

trians directly ahead and displays an amber 

 indicator. When approaching a detected 

pedestrian too quickly, a red alert flashes on 

the windshield or in the HUD

F

 and the Safety 

Alert Seat pulses or rapid beeps sound (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 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 

 collisions 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 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 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 departure is detected.

  To turn on or off, press the 

Lane Keep Assist

 button on the center console.

See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
