Forward Collision Alert
(FCA) System
FCA may help avoid or reduce the
harm caused by front-end crashes.
FCA provides a green indicator
when a vehicle is detected ahead.
This indicator displays amber if you
follow a vehicle much too closely.
When approaching a vehicle ahead
too quickly, FCA provides a flashing
red alert on the windshield and
rapidly beeps or pulses the
driver seat.
SeeForward Collision Alert (FCA)
System on page 9-50.
Lane Departure
Warning (LDW)
LDW is intended to help avoid
unintentional lane departures at
speeds of 56 km/h (35 mph) or
greater. LDW uses a camera sensor
to detect the lane markings. The
LDW indicator,
@, appears green if
a lane marking is detected. If the
vehicle departs the lane, the indicator will change to amber and
flash. In addition, beeps will sound,
or the driver seat will pulse.
See
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
on page 9-56.
Side Blind Zone
Alert (SBZA)
If equipped, SBZA will detect
vehicles in the next lane over in the
vehicle's side blind zone area.
When this happens, the SBZA
display will light up in the
corresponding outside side mirror
and will flash if the turn signal is on.
See Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
on page 9-54.

behind the vehicle on the center
stack display when the vehicle is

Ultrasonic Parking Assist
Ultrasonic Front and Rear Park
Assist (UFRPA) uses sensors on
the front and rear bumper to assist

It operates at speeds less than
8 km/h (5 mph). UFRPA may display
a warning triangle on the Rear
Vision Camera screen and a graphic
on the instrument cluster to provide
the object distance. In addition,
multiple beeps or seat pulses may
occur if very close to an object.
See Driver Assistance Systems on
page 9-47.
