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 SEATF – The driver’s seat pulses — left side, right side or simultaneously — to alert the driver of the direction of potential hazards.
Audible alerts or seat pulsing alerts may be selected. To change the alert settings, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection > 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  on or off,  go to Settings  > Vehicle  > Collision/Detection  > Lane  Change  Alert.
FORWARD COLLISION ALERTF – The
Vehicle Ahead Indicator is green when a
vehicle is detected and is amber when follow-ing 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.
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKINGF – In detected potential imminent collision situa-tions with vehicles directly ahead, the system can provide alerts and enhance driver braking or apply the brakes, if you have not already done so, to help reduce the severity or help avoid collisions at very low speeds.
 To  set  the  Forward  Collision  Alert and Automatic  Emergency  Braking systems  to Alert  and Brake,  Alert, or Off,  go to Settings  > Vehicle  > Collision/Detection  > Forward  Collision System.
FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKINGF – During daytime driving, the system can detect
pedestrians directly ahead up to a distance of approximately 131 feet and displays an amber indicator.  When approaching  a detected  pedestrian  too quickly,  a red  alert  flashes  on the windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or rapid beeps sound (if selected). The system may enhance driver braking or automatically brake the vehicle, if you have not already done so.
 To  set  to Alert  and Brake,  Alert, or Off,  go to Settings  > Vehicle  > Collision/Detection  > 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 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 console to turn traction control off or on  again.

TRACTION SELECT
The Traction Select system automatically adjusts various vehicle controls based on driv-ing preferences, weather and road conditions.
Rotate the Traction Select knob on the
center console to select:
Tour
All-Wheel Drive (AWD models only)
Sport
Snow/Ice (front-wheel drive models only)
Off-Road (AWD models  only) 
Tow/Haul
The AWD indicator will illuminate when an AWD mode is selected.
If the vehicle is in Tour or AWD mode, it will stay in that mode through future ignition cycles.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
F Optional equipment
HILL DESCENT CONTROLF
Hill Descent Control sets and maintains vehicle speed from 2–14 mph while descending a very steep incline in a forward or reverse gear.
Press the Hill Descent Control button on the center console. Vehicle speed must be below 31 mph to turn on the system.
Increase or decrease speed by applying the accelerator or brake pedal, or use the Cruise Control +/– buttons on the steering wheel. The adjusted speed becomes the new set speed. The symbol  flashes on  the  instrument  cluster when the system  is actively  applying the brakes to maintain vehicle speed.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR
The Low Tire Pressure warning light on the instrument cluster illuminates when one or more of the  vehicle’s  tires  is  significantly  underinflated.  Fill the  tires  to  the  proper  tire pres-sures listed on the Tire and Loading Information label located below the driver’s door latch. Current tire pressures can be viewed on the Driver Information Center.
The Tire  Fill Alert  provides  visual and audible  alerts to  help  when  inflating  a tire  to the  rec-ommended tire pressure. When the recommended pressure is reached, the horn sounds and the turn  signals  change  from flashing  to solid.
