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

To turn the systems on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Lane Change Alert.
Forward Collision Alert — The Vehicle Ahead indicator is green on the instrument

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 automatically every time the vehicle is

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.
