Driver Assistance Systems
The driver assistance systems use advanced technologies to help avoid collisions by
providing visual and audible alerts under some imminent collision conditions.
Forward Collision AlertF – The Vehicle Ahead indi-cator will illuminate in green on the instrument cluster when a vehicle is detected and will illuminate in amber when following a vehicle ahead too closely. If your vehicle approaches another vehicle too rapidly, the will flash, a visual alert will flash on the windshield and the Safety Alert Seat will pulse. See Safety Alert Seat.
Press the Collision Alert button on the left side of the steering wheel to set the alert sensitivity to Far, Medium, Near, or Off.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure WarningF (LD Models Only) – The Lane Keep Assist indicator is green on the instrument cluster when a lane marking is detected.

It may also provide a Lane Departure Warning alert by flashing an amber and pulsing the left or right side of the Safety Alert SeatF as the lane marking is crossed. See Safety Alert Seat.
Press the Lane Keep Assist button on the center of the instrument panel to turn the system on or off.
Lane Departure WarningF (HD Models Only) – When crossing a detected lane marking without using a turn signal, the system flashes an amber visual alert on the instrument cluster and pulses the left or right side of the Safety Alert SeatF. See Safety Alert Seat.
Press the Lane Departure Warning button on the center of the instrument panel to turn the system on or off.
Safety Alert SeatF – The driver’s seat pulses, left side, right side, or simultaneously, to alert the driver of potential hazards.
Audible notification may be selected instead of Safety Alert Seat pulsing notification. To change the alert setting, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection > Alert Type.
Rear Vision Camera – Provides a view directly behind the vehicle when backing up.
To turn the Rear Vision Camera Guidelines or Rear Park Assist Symbols on or off, go to Settings > Rear Camera.
Front and/or Rear Parking Assist – During low-speed parking maneuvers, the system provides “distance to
closest object” information in the Driver Information Center and a caution symbol on the Rear Vision Camera display. When the vehicle should be stopped immediately to avoid a collision, a continuous audible tone sounds or the Safety Alert Seat pulses. See Safety Alert Seat.
