DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS

Safety or driver assistance features are no 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 important feature limitations and information. 

Safety Alert Seat

F

 — 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

F

 — 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 system on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > 

Lane Change Alert.

Forward Collision Alert

F

 — The   Vehicle Ahead Indicator is green on the instrument 

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

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

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

  Press the 

Collision Alert 

button on the steering wheel to set the alert timing to Far, 

Medium, or Near. This is also the Adaptive Cruise Control

F

 following gap setting.

Forward Automatic Braking

F

 — In potential front-end imminent collision situations with detect-

ed vehicles, the brakes may be applied, if you have not already done so, to help reduce dam-

age or avoid collisions at very low speeds. 

  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.

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

F

 — The system may help you avoid 

 collisions due to unintentional lane departures. The 

 Lane Keep Assist Indicator is green 

on the instrument cluster 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. The Lane Keep Assist system does not continuously steer the 

vehicle; the driver needs to steer and be in complete control of the vehicle. 

  Press the 

Lane Keep Assist

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

Front Pedestrian Braking

F

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

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

an amber   indicator. When approaching a detected pedestrian too rapidly, a red alert 

flashes on the windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or rapid beeps sound (if select-

ed). The system may prepare the brakes or automatically brake the vehicle, if you have not 

already done so.

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

Detection Systems > Front Pedestrian Detection.
