Lane Departure Warning (LDW) (if so equipped)
The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system can help alert the driver when\
the vehicle is
traveling too close to either the left or the right side of a traveling \
lane.

The system will operate when the vehicle is driven at speeds of approxim\
ately 45 mph
(70 km/h) and above and only when the lane markings are clearly visibl\
e on the road.

When the vehicle approaches either the left or the right side of the tra\
veling
lane, the LDW system will chime and the orange LDW light
1 on the
instrument panel will blink to alert the driver.

The LDW system can be turned on and off through
the Settings menu in the vehicle information
display. To temporarily turn off the system, push the
warning systems switch
2 .

When the system is off, the indicator light 3 on the
switch is off.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your
Owner’s Manual.
Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW) (if so equipped)
The Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW) system can help alert \
the driver when
there is sudden braking of the second vehicle traveling in front of the \
vehicle ahead that is
traveling in the same lane.

The PFCW uses a sensor in the front bumper to measure the distance of a \
second vehicle
ahead in the traveling lane. The system operates at speeds above 3 mph (\
5 km/h).

If there is a potential risk, the PFCW will warn the driver with a blink\
ing driver assist
system forward indicator and an audible warning tone will be heard.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.
Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) (if so equipped)
The Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) system can assist the driver when \
there is risk of a
forward collision with the vehicle in the traveling lane.

The FEB operates at speeds greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).

If there is a risk of a collision, an audible tone will be heard, a visu\
al warning will display
and the vehicle will push up on the accelerator pedal. If the driver rel\
eases the accelerator
pedal, the vehicle will begin applying the brakes; however, if the drive\
r does nothing, the
system will issue another audible and visual warning and apply the brake\
s harder.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.
