DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Safety Alert SeatF — The driver’s seat pulses — left side, right side, or simultaneously — to alert the driver of potential hazards.
Audible alerts or seat pulsing alerts may be selected. To change the alert setting, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Alert Type.
Traction Control and StabiliTrak Systems — The full-time traction control system limits wheelspin and the StabiliTrak electronic 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. Traction control should be turned off if the vehicle is stuck and rocking the vehicle is required.
To turn traction control on or off, press the Traction Control/StabiliTrak Off button on the center of the instrument panel.
Forward Collision AlertF — The Vehicle Ahead indicator is green on the instrument
cluster when a vehicle is detected and is amber when following a vehicle ahead too close-ly. When approaching a detected 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. The setting is displayed on the Driver Information Center.
Follow Distance IndicatorF — The follow dis-tance is indicated in seconds under the Info menu on the Driver Information Center. If no vehicle is detected ahead, dashes are displayed.
Forward Automatic BrakingF (Avenir model) — The brakes may be applied automatically in potential collision situations to help reduce dam-age or help avoid collisions with vehicles directly ahead.
To set Forward Automatic Braking and Forward Collision Alert to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Forward Collision System.
Front Pedestrian BrakingF — During daytime driving, 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 quickly, a red alert flashes on the windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or beeps sound (if selected). The system may prepare the brakes or automatically brake the vehicle.
To set the system to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Front Pedestrian Detection.
Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone AlertF — 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.
