Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD)
PCS w/PD is designed to provide alert, mitigation, and/or avoidance 
support in certain conditions, when the system detects a potential 
collision with a preceding vehicle is likely to occur. 
The advanced grille-mounted radar system is designed to work with 
the forward-facing camera to help recognize a preceding pedestrian or 
bicyclist, and provide an alert, mitigation and/or avoidance support in \�
certain conditions.
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist is designed to provide 
notification when the system detects an unintended lane departure.
The Steering Assist function is designed to provide small corrective 
steering inputs to the steering wheel for a short period of time to help\� 
keep the vehicle in its lane. 
The Sway Warning function is designed to detect vehicle swaying 
(based on the vehicle location and steering wheel operation) and alert\� 
drivers with an audio and visual alert, urging them to take a break.
Automatic High Beams (AHB)
AHB is designed to detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and 
the tail lights of preceding vehicles and switch between high beams 
and low beams as appropriate.
Road Sign Assist (RSA)
RSA is designed to recognize specific road signs using the forward- 
facing camera to provide information to the driver via the display.
Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
Full-Speed Range DRCC is designed to help maintain a pre-set 
distance to a preceding vehicle when the preceding vehicle is traveling \�
at a lower speed. The minimum set speed is approximately 20 MPH, but 
once activated, the operating speed range is 0-110 MPH.
Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) System
LTA contains all the features of Lane Departure Alert with Steering 
Assist described below and additionally is designed to help keep the 
vehicle in the center of a lane by assisting the driver in steering cont\�rol 
when using Full-Speed Range DRCC.
