automatically every time the vehicle is started.
Safety Alert Seat – Subtle seat cushion vibration pulses, left or right, or simultaneously, alert the driver of potential hazards.

Rear Vision Camera – When the vehicle is in Reverse, a view of the area behind the vehicle appears on the CUE touch screen.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert – Warns of traffic coming in either
direction behind the vehicle by displaying a visual alert on the CUE touch screen and the left or right side of the driver’s seat pulses.*

Press the Parking Assist button on the right side of the CUE touch screen to turn Rear Automatic Braking on or off.

Automatic Collision Preparation – Prepares the brakes or applies the brakes if an emergency collision appears imminent or the driver does not react to previous alerts.
Automatic Safety Belt Tightening – When the vehicle starts moving, gently removes slack from the front safety belts. At higher speeds, tightens the front safety belts during emergency, hard braking or steering maneuvers.
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/or tactile (vibration) alerts.
