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 SEAT♦
The driver’s seat pulses — left side, right side, or simultaneously — to alert the driver of potential hazards.
Audible alerts may be selected instead of Safety Alert Seat
pulsing alerts. To change the alert setting, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Alert Type.
FORWARD COLLISION ALERT♦
The Vehicle Ahead Indicator is green when a vehicle is detected and is amber when following 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 beeps sound (if selected).
To set the alert timing, press the Following Gap button on the left side of the steering wheel.
FOLLOWING DISTANCE INDICATOR♦

To set a following gap, press the Following Gap button on the left side of the steering wheel.
LANE KEEP ASSIST WITH LANE DEPARTURE WARNING♦
The system may help you avoid collisions due to unintentional lane departures. The Lane Keep Assist Indicator is green if the

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 lan\
e marking is crossed. The Lane Keep Assist system does not continu-ously steer the vehicle; the driver needs to steer and be in complete control of the vehicle.
To turn the
system on or off, press the Lane Keep Assist button on the left side of the infotainment screen.
FORWARD/REVERSE AUTOMATIC BRAKING♦
In potential front- and rear-end imminent collision situations with vehicles directly ahead or behind, and with some objects behind your vehicle, the brakes may be applied, if you have not already done so, to help reduce the collision's severity or help avoid collisions at very\
low speeds.
