Driver Awareness♦ and Driver Assist♦ Features
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.*
Driver Awareness Package
Safety Alert Seat – Subtle seat cushion vibration pulses, left or right, or simultaneously, alert the driver of potential hazards.
Lane Departure Warning – When crossing a detected lane
marking 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 center console to turn the system on or off.
*Audible notification may be selected instead of Safety Alert Seat

Press the Collision Alert button on the left side of the steering wheel to set the alert timing (see the Collision/ Detection Systems menu if equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control).
Driver Assist Package (includes Driver Awareness Package)

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 center console 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.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
The driver awareness and assist systems are based on a “control and a\

Driver Shift Control
Driver Shift Control allows you to shift gears similar to a manual transmission.
Move the shift lever to the Manual (M) position (A), left of the Drive position; tap the lever forward to upshift and rearward to downshift. The current gear selection is shown in the DIC.
If current vehicle speed is too high or too low for the requested gear, the shift will not occur. When coming to a stop, the transmission will automatically downshift.
Fuel Economy (ECO) Control
The ECO mode can improve the vehicle’s fuel economy by changing the transmission shift points and making other fuel-saving adjustments. Driving performance is more conservative when the ECO mode is active.
Press the ECO button (B) to turn the ECO mode on or off. The ECO light illuminates on the instrument cluster when active.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.

Press the Parking Assist button (E) to turn the system on/off. The button illuminates when the system is on.
Note: The system operates only at speeds less than 5 mph. Keep the sensors clean of dirt and snow for proper operation.
