Forward Collision Alert (FCA),
Lane Departure Warning
(LDW), Lane Keep Assist
(LKA), Side Blind Zone Alert
(SBZA), Lane Change Alert
(LCA), Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB), and/or the
Front Pedestrian Braking
(FPB) System can help to
avoid a crash or reduce crash
damage.
Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) System
The FCA system may help to
avoid or reduce the harm
caused by front-end crashes.
When approaching a vehicle
ahead too quickly, FCA
provides a red flashing alert on the windshield and rapidly
beeps or pulses the driver
seat. FCA also lights an amber
visual alert if following another
vehicle much too closely.
FCA detects vehicles within a
distance of approximately
110 m (360 ft) and operates at
all speeds.
{Warning
FCA is a warning system and
does not apply the brakes.
When approaching a
slower-moving or stopped
vehicle ahead too rapidly,
or when following a vehicle
too closely, FCA may not
provide a warning with
enough time to help avoid a
crash. It also may not
provide any warning at all.

Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
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
ahead in your path that is
traveling in the same direction
that you may be about to
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. This is shown by the
FCA vehicle ahead indicator
being lit. See Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) System0270. The system works when
driving in a forward gear
above 4km/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.
.Detect a vehicle when
weather limits visibility,
such as in fog, rain,
or snow.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Detect a vehicle ahead if it
is partially blocked by
pedestrians or other
objects.
Complete attention is
always required while
driving, and you should be
ready to take action and
apply the brakes and/or
steer the vehicle to avoid
crashes.
AEB may slow the vehicle to a
complete stop to try to avoid a
potential crash. If this
happens, AEB may engage the
Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
to hold the vehicle at a stop.
Release the EPB or firmly
press the accelerator pedal.
{Warning
AEB may automatically
brake the vehicle suddenly in
situations where it is
unexpected and undesired. (Continued)

Warning (Continued)
.BZSA performance may
be affected by weather
and road conditions.
.BZSA does not provide
steering assistance to
avoid a vehicle that is in,
or has entered, your lane
of travel.
.BZSA will not prevent a
towed trailer from
crossing into the adjacent
lane. Always monitor the
trailer position while
towing to ensure it is in
the same lane as your
vehicle. BZSA is only
designed to detect when
your vehicle
unintentionally crosses
detected lane lines.
Lane Keep
Assist (LKA)
If equipped, LKA may help
avoid crashes due to
unintentional lane departures.
This system uses a camera todetect lane markings. The LKA
may be ready to assist at
speeds between
80 km/h (50 mph) and 180
km/h (112 mph). LKA may assist
by gently turning the steering
wheel if the vehicle
approaches a detected lane
marking. It may also provide a
Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) alert if the vehicle
crosses a detected lane
marking. This system is not
intended to keep the vehicle
centered in the lane. LKA will
not assist and alert if the turn
signal is active in the direction
of lane departure, or if it
detects that you are
accelerating, braking or
actively steering. LKA can be
overridden by turning the
steering wheel. If the system
detects you are steering
intentionally across a lane
marker, the LDW will not be
given. Do not expect the LDW
to occur when you are
intentionally crossing a lane
marker.
{Warning
The LKA system does not
continuously steer the
vehicle. It may not keep the
vehicle in the lane or give a
Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) alert, even if a lane
marking is detected.
The LKA and LDW systems
may not:
.Provide an alert or enough
steering assist to avoid a
lane departure or crash.
.Detect lane markings
under poor weather or
visibility conditions. This
can occur if the windshield
or headlamps are blocked
by dirt, snow, or ice; if they
are not in proper
condition; or if the sun
shines directly into the
camera.
.Detect road edges.
.Detect lanes on winding or
hilly roads.
