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.
LANE CHANGE ALERT WITH SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERTF — While driving, the system
displays a warning symbol on the left or right side mirror when a moving vehicle is\
detected rapidly approaching or is in a side blind zone. The warning sy\
mbol flashes if a turn signal is activated when a vehicle has been detected on the same si\
de.
To turn on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection System\
s > Lane Change Alert.
LANE KEEP ASSIST WITH LANE DEPARTURE WARNINGF — The system may help you 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 providing brief, gentle steering wheel turns and di\
splaying 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. T\
he Lane Keep Assist system does not continuously steer the vehicle; the driver needs \
to steer and be in complete control of the vehicle.
To turn on or off, press the Lane Keep Assist button on the steering wheel.
FORWARD COLLISION ALERTF — The Vehicle Ahead Indicator is green on the instru-ment cluster when a vehicle is detected and is amber when following a ve\
hicle ahead much too closely. When approaching a detected vehicle directly ahead too\
rapidly, a red alert flashes on the windshield and rapid beeps sound.
Press the Forward Collision Alert button on the steering wheel to set the alert timing to Far, Medium, or Near. The setting is displayed on the Driver I\
nformation Center.
ENHANCED AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKINGF — In detected potential imminent
collision situations with vehicles directly ahead, the system can provid\
e alerts and enhance driver braking or automatically apply hard emergency braking, if\
you have not already done so, to help reduce the severity or help avoid collisions at\
very low speeds.
To set Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Alert \
to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection\
Systems > Forward Collision System.
FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKINGF — During daytime driving, the system can detect
pedestrians directly ahead up to a distance of approximately 131 feet an\
d displays an amber indicator. When approaching a detected pedestrian too quickly, a red ale\
rt flashes on the windshield and rapid beeps sound. The system may prepar\
e the brakes or automatically apply hard emergency braking, if you have not already done\
so.
To set the system to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Ve\
hicle > Collision/ Detection Systems > Front Pedestrian Detection.
