DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS

F

Safety Alert Seat

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

to alert the driver of the direction 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 on the same side.

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

Lane Change Alert.

Forward Collision Alert

 — The   Vehicle Ahead indicator is green on the instrument 

 cluster when a vehicle is detected and is amber when following a vehicle ahead too 

closely. When approaching a vehicle directly ahead too rapidly, a red alert flashes on the 

windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or beeps sound (if selected).

  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 automatically in potential colli-

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

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

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

Collision System.

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 (A) to turn traction control on or off.

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure 

Warning

 — The system may help avoid 

 collisions due to unintentional lane 

departures. The 

 Lane Keep Assist 

indicator is green on the instrument clus-

ter 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 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. In order to use this system safely, the driver needs to steer and be 

in complete control of the vehicle.

  Press the 

Lane Keep Assist

 button (B) to turn the system on or off.
