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.
FORWARD COLLISION ALERTF – The Vehicle Ahead indicator is green on the instrument cluster when a vehicle is detected and is amber when following a vehicle 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 Collision Alert button on the left side of the steering wheel to set the alert
timing to Far, Medium, Near, or Off. The setting is displayed on the Driver Information Center.
LANE DEPARTURE WARNINGF – When crossing a detected lane marking, without using a turn signal in that direction, the system flashes an amber indicator on the instrument cluster and beeps sound on the side of the lane departure direction.
Press the Lane Departure Warning button on the center of the instrument panel to turn the system on or off.
REAR VISION CAMERA – When the vehicle is in Reverse, a view of the area behind the vehicle displays on the infotainment system. Vehicle speed must be below 8 mph.

The Low Tire Pressure light on the instrument cluster illuminates when one or more of the vehicle’s tires is significantly underinflated. Fill the tires to the proper tire pres-sures listed on the Tire and Loading Information label, located below the driver’s door latch.

With the ignition On or in Accessory Mode, the Tire Fill Alert will provide visual and audible alerts when the Low Tire Pressure warning light is on to help when inflat-ing a tire to the recommended tire pressure (does not apply to spare tire). When the
recommended pressure is reached, the horn sounds and the turn signals change from flashing to solid.
