Driving Assistance Systems

F

Safety Alert Seat

 – The driver’s seat pulses — left side, right side or simultaneously — 

to alert the driver of potential hazards.

  Seat pulsing alerts or audible 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

 – 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.

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

Lane Change Alert.

Forward Collision Alert

 – The 

 Vehicle Ahead indicator illuminates in green on the 

instrument cluster when a vehicle is detected and illuminates in amber when following 

a vehicle ahead too closely. If your vehicle approaches another vehicle too rapidly, a visual 

alert flashes on the windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses.

  Press the 

Collision Alert 

button on the steering wheel to set the alert timing to 

Far, Medium, or Near.

Forward Automatic Braking 

– The brakes may be applied in potential collision situations 

to help reduce damage or help avoid collisions with vehicles directly ahead.

  To set the Forward Collision Alert and Front Automatic Braking systems to Alert and 

Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Forward 

Collision System.

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

 – The 

 Lane Keep Assist indicator 

illuminates in green on the instrument cluster when a lane marking is detected. If your 

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 provide a Lane Departure 

Warning alert by flashing an amber 

 and sounding three beeps.

  Press the 

Lane Keep Assist

 button on the center of the instrument panel to turn 

the system on or off.

Front Pedestrian Detection

 – During daytime driving at speeds of 5–50 mph, the system 

detects pedestrians directly ahead up to a distance of approximately 131 feet and dis-

plays an amber   indicator. When approaching a detected pedestrian too quickly, a visual 

alert flashes on the windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses. The system may prepare 

the brakes or automatically brake the vehicle.

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

Detection Systems > Front Pedestrian Detection.

Traction Control and StabiliTrak Systems

 – The traction control system limits wheelspin 

and the StabiliTrak® stability control system assists with directional control of the vehicle 

in difficult driving conditions. Both systems turn on automatically every time the vehicle is 

started. Turn off traction control if the vehicle is stuck and rocking the vehicle is required.

  Press the 

Traction Control/StabiliTrak Off 

button on the center of the instrument 

panel to turn traction control on or off.
