Driver Assistance Systems 

The driver assistance systems use advanced technologies to help avoid collisions by 

 providing visual and audible alerts under some imminent collision conditions.

Forward Collision Alert

system flashes a visual alert and pulses the Safety Alert Seat

  To set the alert timing to Far, Medium, or Near, press the 

 Collision Alert button 

or the 

 Follow Distance Gap button on the left side of the steering wheel.

Lane Departure Warning

signal, the system flashes a visual alert and pulses the left or right side of the Safety Alert 

Seat♦. See Safety Alert Seat.

  To turn the system on or off, press the   Lane Departure Warning button on the

Lane Change Alert 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 side blind zone area. 

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