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 symbol flashes if a turn signal is activated when a vehicle has been detected on the same side.
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING – In detected potential imminent collision
situations with vehicles directly ahead, the system can provide 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.
FORWARD COLLISION ALERT – 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 the Safety Alert Seat pulses or rapid beeps sound (if selected).

The system may prepare the brakes or automatically apply hard emergency braking, if you have not already done so.
REAR PEDESTRIAN ALERTF – During daytime driving with the vehicle in Reverse, the system can detect pedestrians directly behind the vehicle and will display an amber indicator on the infotainment screen. When a pedestrian is detected close to the vehicle, the indicator flashes red and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or rapid beeps sound (if selected).
LANE KEEP ASSIST WITH LANE DEPARTURE WARNINGF – The system may help avoid collisions due to unintentional lane departures. The Lane Keep Assist indica-tor 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 direction, the system may assist by providing brief, gentle steering wheel turns and displaying an amber indicator. If active driver steering is not detected, the amber indicator may flash and the Safety Alert Seat may pulse or beeps may sound (if selected) on the side of the departure direction as the lane marking is crossed. In order to use this system safely, the driver needs to steer and be in complete control of the vehicle.
