DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS♦
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
Safety Alert Seat♦ – The driver’s seat pulses, left side, right side,
or simultaneously, to alert the driver of potential hazards.
Audible alerts may be selected instead of Safety Alert Seat
pulsing alerts. To change the alert setting, go to Settings >
Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Alert Type.
Forward Collision Alert♦ – The
Vehicle Ahead indicator is
green on the instrument cluster when a vehicle is detected and is
yellow when following a vehicle ahead much too closely. When
approaching a vehicle directly ahead too rapidly, a red alert flashes
on the windshield and the driver’s seat pulses.
To set the alert timing or turn the system off, press the
Following Gap button on the left side of the steering wheel.
Lane Keep Assist♦ – The
Lane Keep Assist indicator is
green on the instrument cluster when a lane is detected ahead,
and is yellow and gently turns the steering wheel to assist when
crossing a detected lane marking to assist in keeping the vehicle in
the lane. Turn the steering wheel to override Lane Keep Assist.
Lane Departure Warning♦ – When crossing a detected lane
marking without using a turn signal, the yellow
Lane
Departure Warning symbol flashes on the instrument cluster and
the left or right side of the driver’s seat pulses. Turn the steering\

wheel to suppress Lane Departure Warning.
To turn the Lane Keep Assist and Lane Departure Warning
systems on or off, press the Lane Keep Assist button on
the left side of the instrument panel. Front and Rear Automatic Braking♦ – Automatically applies the
brakes in potential collision situations to help reduce damage or
help avoid collisions with vehicles directly ahead or behind, and
with some objects behind.
To turn the Front Automatic Braking system on or off, go to
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Auto
Collision Preparation.
To turn the Rear Automatic Braking system on or off, press the Parking Assist button on the left side of the instrument
panel. This will also turn on/off the Parking Assist and Rear
Cross Traffic Alert systems.
Adaptive Cruise Control♦ – If a vehicle is detected ahead, the
vehicle accelerates or brakes moderately to maintain the driver-
selected cruise speed and following gap.
To set a following gap, press the Following Gap button on
the left side of the steering wheel.
Lane Change Alert♦ – While driving, a
warning symbol
displays on the left or right side mirror when a vehicle is rapidly
approaching from beyond that side blind zone area.
Side Blind Zone Alert♦ – While driving, a
warning symbol
displays on the left or right side mirror when a vehicle is detected
in that side blind spot area.
To turn the Lane Change Alert and Side Blind Zone Alert sys-tems on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems > Lane Change Alert.
The driver assistance systems use advanced technologies to help avoid collisions by providing visual, audible and/or tactile (vibration) alerts.

The traction control
system limits wheelspin
and the StabiliTrak
system assists with the
stability of the vehicle in
difficult driving conditions.
Both systems turn on
automatically every time
the vehicle is started.
Turning Off Traction Control
Turn off traction control if the vehicle is stuck and rocking the
vehicle is required.
Press the Traction Control/StabiliTrak button on the center
console. The Traction Control Off light on the instrument
cluster will illuminate.

is driven, check for the proper tire pressures.
Refer to your Owner Manual for additional information about normal
monthly tire maintenance.

operating information.
See Vehicle Care in your Owner Manual.

The Engine Oil Life System calculates oil life based on vehicle use
and displays Change Engine Oil Soon on the Driver Information
Center when it’s necessary to change the oil and filter. Reset the
system to 100% only following an oil change.
See Vehicle Care in your Owner Manual.
