After completely passing a
large enough space, an audible
beep occurs. A red stop
symbol and a shift to reverse
message are displayed.
If the vehicle is in R (Reverse),
but does not steer into the
expected space, this may be
because the system is
maneuvering the vehicle into a
previously detected space.
The APA system does not
need service.APA will instruct the vehicle to
stop once a large enough
space is found. Follow the
displayed instructions. When
instructed to drive in reverse,
shift to R (Reverse) to engage
automatic steering. The
steering wheel will vibrate
briefly as a reminder to
remove hands from the
steering wheel. Check
surroundings and continue
braking or accelerating as
needed, and be prepared to
stop to avoid vehicles,
pedestrians, or objects. If the
vehicle exceeds 10 km/h
(6 mph), APA is automatically
disengaged.A progress arrow displays the
status of the parking
maneuver. Depending on the
space size, additional
maneuvers may be required,
and there will be additional
instructions. When changing
gears, allow the automatic
steering to complete before
continuing the parking
maneuver. APA will beep and
display a PARKING
COMPLETE message. Secure
the vehicle against rolling
away by applying parking
brake.
APA may automatically
disengage if:
.The steering wheel is used
by the driver.
.The maximum allowed speed
is exceeded.
.The parking brake is applied
or the vehicle is shifted into
P (Park).
.There is a failure with the
APA system.

minimum following time is
0.5 seconds away. If there is
no vehicle detected ahead,
or the vehicle ahead is out of
sensor range, dashes will be
displayed.
Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may provide unnecessary
alerts for turning vehicles,
vehicles in other lanes, objects
that are not vehicles,
or shadows. These alerts are
normal operation and the
vehicle does not need service.
Cleaning the System
If the FCA system does not
seem to operate properly, this
may correct the issue:
.Clean the outside of the
windshield in front of the
rearview mirror.
.Clean the entire front of the
vehicle.
.Clean the headlamps.
Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
If equipped, the AEB system
may help avoid or reduce the
harm caused by front-end
crashes. AEB also includes
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA).
When the system detects a
vehicle in the path ahead that
is traveling in the same
direction, and that you may
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.
Depending on the situation,
the vehicle may automatically
brake moderately or hard. This
Automatic Emergency Braking
can only occur if a vehicle is
detected. Vehicle detection is
shown by the Forward
Collision Alert (FCA) vehicle
ahead indicator being lit. See
Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System 0346. The system works when
driving in a forward gear
between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph), or on
vehicles with Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC), above 4 km/h
(2 mph). It can detect vehicles
up to approximately 60 m
(197 ft).
{Warning
AEB is an emergency crash
preparation feature and is
not designed to avoid
crashes. Do not rely on AEB
to brake the vehicle. AEB will
not brake outside of its
operating speed range and
only responds to detected
vehicles.
AEB may not:
.Detect a vehicle ahead on
winding or hilly roads.
.Detect all vehicles,
especially vehicles with a
trailer, tractors, muddy
vehicles, etc.

A system unavailable message
may display if:
.The front of the vehicle or
windshield is not clean.
.Heavy rain or snow is
interfering with object
detection.
.There is a problem with the
StabiliTrak/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC)
system.
The AEB system does not
need service.
Front Pedestrian
Braking (FPB) System
If equipped, the FPB system
may help avoid or reduce the
harm caused by front-end
crashes with nearby
pedestrians when driving in a
forward gear. FPB displays an
amber indicator,
~, when a
nearby pedestrian is detected
ahead. When approaching a detected pedestrian too
quickly, FPB provides a red
flashing alert on the
windshield and rapidly beeps
or pulses the driver seat. FPB
can provide a boost to braking
or automatically brake the
vehicle. This system includes
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA),
and the Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB) System may
also respond to pedestrians.
See Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
0349.
The FPB system can detect
and alert to pedestrians in a
forward gear at speeds
between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). During
daytime driving, the system
detects pedestrians up to a
distance of approximately
40 m (131 ft). During nighttime
driving, system performance is
very limited.
{Warning
FPB does not provide an
alert or automatically brake
the vehicle, unless it detects
a pedestrian. FPB may not
detect pedestrians, including
children:
.When the pedestrian is
not directly ahead, fully
visible, or standing upright,
or when part of a group.
.Due to poor visibility,
including nighttime
conditions, fog, rain,
or snow.
.If the FPB sensor is
blocked by dirt, snow,
or ice.
.If the headlamps or
windshield are not cleaned
or in proper condition.
Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. For more
information, see Defensive
Driving 0242. Keep the

If this happens, Automatic
Braking may engage the
Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
to hold the vehicle at a stop.
Release the EPB. A firm press
of the accelerator pedal will
also release Automatic
Braking and the EPB.
{Warning
FPB may alert or
automatically brake the
vehicle suddenly in
situations where it is
unexpected and undesired.
It could falsely alert or brake
for objects similar in shape
or size to pedestrians,
including shadows. This is
normal operation and the
vehicle does not need
service. To override
Automatic Braking, firmly
press the accelerator pedal,
if it is safe to do so.Automatic Braking can be
disabled through vehicle
personalization. To view
available settings for this
feature, touch the Settings
icon on the infotainment home
page. Select
“Vehicle”to
display the list of available
options and select “Collision/
Detection Systems”.{Warning
Using the FPB system while
towing a trailer could cause
you to lose control of the
vehicle and crash. Turn the
system to Alert or Off when
towing a trailer.
Cleaning the System
If FPB does not seem to
operate properly, cleaning the
outside of the windshield in
front of the rearview mirror
may correct the issue.
Side Blind Zone
Alert (SBZA)
If equipped, the SBZA system
is a lane-changing aid that
assists drivers with avoiding
crashes that occur with
moving vehicles in the side
blind zone, or blind spot areas.
When the vehicle is in a
forward gear, the left or right
side mirror display will light up
if a moving vehicle is detected
in that blind zone. If the turn
signal is activated and a
vehicle is also detected on the
same side, the display will flash
as an extra warning not to
change lanes. Since this
system is part of the Lane
Change Alert (LCA) system,
read the entire LCA section
before using this feature.
