uuWhen Driving uForward Collision Warning (FCW ) with Pedestrian Detection*
Continued
Driving
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) with Pedestrian
Detection*
Alerts you when it determines the possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle
or pedestrian detected in front of you.
If the system determines a collision is possible, it gives visual and audible alerts.
u Take appropriate action to prevent a coll ision (apply the brakes, change lanes,
etc.).
■How the system works
For a possible collision with a vehicle: Warnings may be given when your vehicle
speed is about 10 mph (15 km/h) and above.
For a possible collision with a pedestrian: Warnings may be given when your vehicle
speed is between about 10 and 62 mph (15 and 100 km/h).
1 Forward Collision Warning (FCW) with Pedestrian Detection*
Important Safety Reminder
FCW with Pedestrian Detection cannot detect all
objects ahead and may not detect a given object;
accuracy of the system will vary based on weather,
speed and other factors. FCW with Pedestrian
Detection does not include a braking function. It is
always your responsibilit y to safely operate the
vehicle and avoid collisions.
You can change the Forward Collision Warning

uuWhen Driving uLane Departure Warning (LDW)*
Continued
Driving
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)*
Alerts you when the system determines a possibility of your vehicle unintentionally
crossing over detected lane markings.
If your vehicle is getting too close to detected
left or right side lane markings without a turn
signal activated, LDW will give audible and
visual alerts.
The beeper sounds and the Lane Departure
message appears on the multi-information
display, letting you know that you need to
take appropriate action.
The system begins to search for lane mark ings when all the following conditions are
met:
• The vehicle is traveling between 45 and 90 mph (72 and 145 km/h).
• The vehicle is on a straight or slightly curved road.
• The turn signals are off.
• The brake pedal is not depressed.
• The wipers are not in continuous operation.
■How the System Works
1Lane Departure Warning (LDW)*
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, LDW has limitations.
Over-reliance on LDW may result in a collision. It is
always your respons ibility to keep the vehicle within
your driving lane.
LDW only alerts you when lane drift is detected
without a turn signal in us e. LDW may not detect all
lane markings or lane departures; a ccuracy will vary
based on weather, speed and lane marker condition.
It is always your responsibility to safely operate the
vehicle and avoid collisions.

uuWhen Driving uRoad Departure Mitigation (RDM) System*
Continued
Driving
Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System*
Alerts and helps to assist you when the system determines a possibility of your
vehicle unintentionally crossing over detected lane markings.
The front camera behind the rearview mirror
monitors left and right lane markings (in white
or yellow). If your vehicl e is getting too close to
detected lane markings without a turn signal
activated, the system, in addition to a visual
alert, applies steering torque and alerts you
with rapid vibrations on the steering wheel, to
help you remain within the detected lane.
2 Customized Features P. 126, 257
As a visual alert, the Lane Departure
message appears on the multi-information
display.
If the system determines that its steering input
is insufficient to keep your vehicle on the
roadway, it may apply braking. u Braking is applied only when the lane
markings are solid continuous lines.
The system cancels assisting operations wh en you turn the steering wheel to avoid
crossing over detected lane markings.
If the system operates several times with out detecting driver response, the system
beeps to alert you.
■How the System Works
1 Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System*
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, the RDM system has
limitations.
Over-reliance on the RDM system may result in a
collision. It is always your responsibility to keep the
vehicle within your driving lane.
The RDM system only alerts you when lane drift is
detected without a turn signal in use. The RDM
system may not detect all la ne markings or lane or
roadway departures; accu racy will vary based on
weather, speed and lane marker condition. It is
always your responsibilit y to safely operate the
vehicle and avoid collisions.
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system.

The RDM system may not wo rk properly or may work
improperly under the certain conditions: 2 RDM Conditions and Limitations P. 380
There are times when you may not notice RDM
functions due to your opera tion of the vehicle, or
road surface conditions. If the Lane Departure
message displays repeated ly and you do not apply
responsive actions, the sy stem beeps and cancels
RDM functions.
