Driver Awareness Package
Lane Departure Warning – When crossing a detected lane mark-ing without using a turn signal, a visual alert on the instrument panel flashes and the left or right side of the driver’s seat pulses.*
Press the Lane Departure Warning button on the left side of the instrument panel to turn the system on or off. The button is illuminated when the system is on.
Forward Collision Alert – When approaching a vehicle directly ahead too quickly, a visual alert on the windshield flashes and the driver’s seat pulses.*
Press the Collision Alert button on the left side of the steering wheel to set the alert timing (see the Collision/Detec-tion Systems menu if equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control).
Safety Alert Seat – Subtle seat cushion vibration pulses, left or right, or simultaneously, alert the driver of potential hazards.
Rainsense™ Automatic Windshield Wipers – A sensor detects the amount of water on the windshield and controls the frequency of the wipers. See Windshield Wipers on page 16.
Rear Thorax Airbags – Seat-mounted side impact airbags for the rear seat outboard passengers.
IntelliBeam® – Automatically turns the high-beam headlamps on or off depending on traffic conditions.
Driver Assist Package (includes Driver Awareness Package)
Automatic Collision Preparation – Prepares the brakes or applies the brakes if an emergency collision appears immediate or the driver does not react to previous alerts.
Front and Rear Automatic Braking – Applies the brakes in potential collision situations to help reduce damage or help avoid collisions at lower speeds.
Press the Parking Assist button on the left side of the instrument panel to turn Automatic Braking on or off.
Adaptive Cruise Control – If a vehicle is detected ahead, the vehicle accelerates or brakes moderately to maintain the selected following gap. If driver action is required, the system pulses the driver’s seat.*
Press the Follow Distance Gap button on the left side of the steering wheel to set a following gap.
Side Blind Zone Alert – When a vehicle is detected in a side blind spot area, a warning symbol displays on the side mirror.
To turn off the system, see the Collision/Detection Systems menu under Vehicle Settings. The system turns on automati-cally every time the vehicle is started.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert – Warns of approaching traffic by dis-playing a visual alert on the touch screen from the Rear Vision Camera, and the left or right side of the driver’s seat pulses.*
Press the Parking Assist button on the left side of the instrument panel to turn system on or off. The button is
illuminated when the system is on.
Head-Up Display – Projects vehicle operating information on the windshield, reducing the need to look away from the road.
*Audible notification may be selected instead of Safety Alert Seat vibration notification. See Vehicle Personalization on page 11.
The driver awareness and assist systems are based on a “control and a\
lert” strategy that helps identify potential collision situations and intervenes when a collision threat appears more imminent, employing visual, audible and tactile (vibration) alerts, depending on the feature.
