Press the Parking Assist button on the right side of the CUE touch screen to turn Rear 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, a visual alert flashes on the windshield and the driver’s seat pulses.*

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.

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.
