QR CODEBlind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA)*†6a
BCA is designed to help alert the driver before changing lanes. BCA uses a front-view
camera on the front windshield and rear-corner radar sensors in the rear bumper to
help alert the driver and temporarily apply braking in certain situations if it detects an
approaching vehicle in the driver’s blind spot area.
To turn BCA on, go to User Settings by pressing the Mode button on the Steering Wheel
or the Vehicle Settings* on the audio head unit. Select Driver Assistance > Blind-Spot
Safety. Then select Active Assist, Warning Only or Off.
Warning Only – The Warning Only setting will activate the 1st and 2nd stage alerts:
1st-stage: When another vehicle is detected within the BCA system warning boundary A, a yellow indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors B.
2nd-stage: When the 1st stage alert is on and the driver activates a turn signal, a
flashing yellow indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors and the system
will sound a warning.
To set the initial warning activation time, go to the settings > Driver Assistance
> Warning Timing. Then select the Normal or the Late option.
Active Assist – When Active Assist is selected in the settings, BCA may activate
the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and temporarily apply braking power when an
approaching vehicle is detected within a certain distance next to or behind the vehicle.
A warning message may appear on the Instrument Cluster LCD.
BCA is a supplemental system. Do not solely rely on this system and always pay attention to the road and its conditions.
See section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more detailed information, limitations and conditions.
REMINDERS:
•
BCA will not issue a warning if the vehicle is passing at a high speed
•
When BCA is ON and the ignition is cycled, BCA returns to its previous state

QR CODEForward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)†6a
FCA is designed to detect and monitor a vehicle ahead or detect a pedestrian in the roadway through front view camera
recognition and front radar signals to warn the driver that a collision is imminent, and if necessary, temporarily apply
emergency braking. Initially, FCA provides Forward Collision Warning (FCW ) when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle
or pedestrian in front, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster A.
If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, the FCA
automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially
helping to reduce the effects of a possible collision.
FCA can be enabled by going to the User Settings > Driver Assistance >
Forward Safety and selecting Active Assist, Warning Only or Off.
The Warning Timing can be adjusted by going to User Settings >
Driver Assistance > Warning Time and Normal or Late.
FCA will become active when the:
• Engine Start /Stop button is ON
• Vehicle is traveling 6 mph or faster
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) is not a substitute for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution. FCA may not always alert the driver when the vehicle is approaching another vehicle.
Images are for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect actual feature or operation.
See section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.
REMINDERS:
• FCA will be activated by default when vehicle power is cycled on, even when previously set to off
• If FCA is operating and the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, FCA is automatically turned off
• When FCA is of f, the FCA warning indicator is on in the Instrument Cluster
For illustrative purposes only. Your actual display, buttons and/or features may vary.
The FCA Warning Volume can be adjusted in the User Settings* or the Vehicle Settings* on the audio head unit.

With the Engine Start /Stop button in the ON position, LK A is on by default. The instrument cluster indicator will illuminate
white. It will remain white when the vehicle is traveling slower than 40 mph and the system does not detect lane markers. When
LK A detects the lane markers and can assist steering, the LK A icon will illuminate green.
If LK A detects that you are moving outside of your lane, the system may give an audible warning and display a Lane Departure
Warning on the instrument cluster. If the vehicle continues to move outside of the lane, LK A will provide steering inputs, trying to
prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane.
To turn LK A off, press the Lane Safety button A. To switch between modes (Active LK A, LK A and Lane Departure Warning),
go to User Settings in the Instrument Cluster, select Driver Assistance, then Lane Keeping Assist or the Vehicle Settings* in the
audio head unit.
The three available modes are:
Active LKA – Provides more frequent steering inputs than standard LK A
Lane Keeping Assist – Guides driver to keep vehicle within lanes and provides steering inputs
when vehicle is about to deviate from the lane
Lane Departure Warning – Alerts driver when the system detects the vehicle leaving the lane.
In this mode the system will not provide steering inputs
All systems will operate under the following conditions:
•The vehicle speed exceeds approximately 40 mph
•LK A recognizes the lane the vehicle is traveling in
•The vehicle is between the lane markers

Highway Driving Assist (HDA)*†6a
Highway Driving Assist (HDA) is designed to adjust the speed of the vehicle when driving on limited/controlled access
highways. The system can adjust the vehicle’s speed based on available highway speed information. The automatic speed
setting mode is designed to set the speed automatically by adjusting to the current speed limits of the highway vehicle is
travelling on.
To enable HDA, go to User Settings in the Instrument cluster or the Vehicle Settings* in the audio head unit. Go to Driver
Assistance > Driving Assist > Highway Driving Assist.
To activate HDA, turn Smart Cruise Control (SCC) on by pressing the Driving Assist (Cruise) button A on the Steering
Wheel controls.
HDA will operate only when these conditions are met:
• When the SCC speed is set to current highway and controlled/limited access roads
•The vehicle is traveling slower than 110 mph
•
When driving on limited access highways, such as, Interstate, Federal and State freeways
•
When SCC is on and operating
When HDA is activated and the conditions are met, the Instrument Cluster indicator light B will illuminate green. If the
conditions are not met, HDA will be in standby mode and the indicator light B will illuminate white.
When in operation, and if both lanes are recognized, a display C will show the lanes illuminated white and the steering
wheel indicator illuminated green.
If HDA is activated, conditions are met and the SCC speed is set by the driver (at the posted highway speed limit), HDA
will enter the automatic speed setting mode. The set speed and AUTO will be displayed D in green and an audible alert
will sound.
