DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRAK® – The full-time Traction Control system limits wheelspin and the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system assist\
s with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. Both systems t\
urn on automatically every time the vehicle is started. Traction Control should be turned off\
if the vehicle is stuck, and rocking the vehicle is required.

button on the center console.
LANE KEEP ASSIST WITH LANE DEPARTURE WARNINGF – The system may help avoid
collisions due to unintentional lane departures. The Lane Keep Assist indicator is green on the instrument cluster if the system is available to assist.\
If the vehicle approaches a detected lane marking without using a turn signal in that d\
irection, 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 3 beeps may sound on the side of the departure direction as the lane marking is crossed. I\
n order to use this system safely, the driver needs to steer and be in complete control of t\
he vehicle.

detected and is amber when following a vehicle ahead too closely. When approach-ing a vehicle directly ahead too rapidly, a red alert flashes on the windshield and rapid beeps sound.

seconds under the Info menu on the Driver Information Center (DIC). If no vehicle is detected ahead, dashes are \
displayed.

tion Center.
FRONT PEDESTRIAN DETECTIONF – During daytime driving, the system detects pedes-trians directly ahead up to a distance of approximately 131 feet and dis\
plays an amber indicator. When approaching a detected pedestrian too quickly, a red ale\
rt flashes on the windshield and beeps sound. The system may prepare the brakes or automat\
ically brake the vehicle.

me side.
