marking without using a turn signal, flashes a visual alert on the instrument panel, and pulses the left or right side of the driver’s seat or beeps sound.

Forward Collision Alert – When approaching a vehicle directly ahead too quickly, flashes a visual alert on the windshield, and pulses the driver’s seat or beeps sound.
