DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMSF
Safety Alert Seat — The driver’s seat pulses — left side, right side or simultaneously — to alert the driver of the direction of potential hazards.
Seat pulsing alerts or audible alerts may be selected. To change the alert settings, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > 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 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
cluster when a vehicle is detected and is amber when following a vehicle ahead too closely. When approaching a 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.
Forward Automatic Braking — The brakes may be applied automatically in potential colli-sion situations to help reduce damage or help avoid collisions with vehicles directly ahead.
To set the Forward Collision Alert and Forward Automatic Braking systems to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Forward Collision System.
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
started. Turn off traction control if the vehicle is stuck and rocking the vehicle is required.
Press the Traction Control/StabiliTrak Off button (A) to turn traction control on or off.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning — The system may help avoid
collisions due to unintentional lane departures. The Lane Keep Assist indicator is green on the instrument clus-ter if the system is available to assist. If the vehicle approaches a detected lane marking without using a turn signal in that direction, the system may assist by gently turning the steering wheel and displaying an amber  .
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. In order to use this system safely, the driver needs to steer and be in complete control of the vehicle.
Press the Lane Keep Assist button (B) to turn the system on or off.

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.

To turn the guidance lines or symbols on or off, go to Settings > Rear Camera.
Front and Rear Parking Assist — During low-speed parking maneuvers, the system provides “distance to closest object” information on the Driver Information Center, sounds a beep (if selected), and pulses the Safety Alert Seat. When an object is very close, 5 beeps sound (if selected) from the front or rear of the vehicle and the Safety Alert Seat pulses.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert — When the vehicle is in Reverse, the system warns of traffic
coming in either direction by displaying a red alert on the infotainment screen and pulsing the left or right side of the Safety Alert Seat or sounding beeps (if selected).
