Forward Collision Alert
(FCA) System
If equipped, FCA may help avoid or
reduce the harm caused by front-end
crashes. FCA provides a green
indicator,
V, when a vehicle is
detected ahead. This indicator
displays amber if you follow a vehicle
much too closely. When approaching a
vehicle ahead too quickly, FCA
provides a flashing red alert on the
windshield and rapidly beeps or pulses
the driver seat.
See Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System 0206.
Forward Automatic
Braking (FAB)
If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC), it also has FAB, which
includes Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA).
When the system detects a vehicle
ahead in your path that is traveling in
the same direction that you may be
about to crash into, it can provide a boost to braking or automatically
brake the vehicle. This can help avoid
or lessen the severity of crashes when
driving in a forward gear.
See
Forward Automatic Braking
(FAB) 0208.
Lane Departure
Warning (LDW)
If equipped, LDW may help avoid
unintentional lane departures at
speeds of 56 km/h (35 mph) or greater.
LDW uses a camera sensor to detect
the lane markings. The LDW light,
@,
is green if a lane marking is detected.
If the vehicle departs the lane, the
light will change to amber and flash.
In addition, beeps will sound or the
driver seat will pulse.
See Lane Departure Warning

triangle with an arrow displayed on
the infotainment display to warn of
traffic behind your vehicle that may
cross your vehicle's path while in
R (Reverse). In addition, beeps will
sound, or the driver seat will pulse.
See Assistance Systems for Parking or

assist with parking and avoiding
objects while in R (Reverse). It operates at speeds less than 8 km/h
(5 mph). RPA may display a warning
triangle on the Rear Vision Camera
screen and a graphic on the
instrument cluster to provide the
object distance. In addition, multiple
beeps or seat pulses may occur if very
close to an object.
The vehicle may also have the Front
Parking Assist system.
See
Assistance Systems for Parking or
Backing 0202.
Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB)
If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) it also has the RAB
system, which is designed to help
avoid or reduce the harm caused by
backing crashes when the vehicle is
shifted into R (Reverse). If the system
detects the vehicle is backing too fast
to avoid a crash with a detected object
behind your vehicle in your path, it
may automatically brake hard to
a stop.
