Driver Assistance Systems
The driver assistance systems use advanced technologies to help avoid collisions by
providing visual and audible alerts under some imminent collision conditions.
Forward Collision AlertF – The Vehicle Ahead indi-cator will illuminate in green on the instrument cluster when a vehicle is detected and will illuminate in amber when following a vehicle ahead too closely. If your vehicle approaches another vehicle too rapidly, the will flash, a visual alert will flash on the windshield and the Safety Alert Seat will pulse. See Safety Alert Seat.
Press the Collision Alert button on the left side of the steering wheel to set the alert sensitivity to Far, Medium, Near, or Off.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure WarningF (LD Models Only) – The Lane Keep Assist indicator is green on the instrument cluster when a lane marking is detected. The system may assist by gently turning the steering wheel and display an amber if the vehicle approaches a detected lane marking without using a turn signal in that direction. It may also provide a Lane Departure Warning alert by flashing an amber and pulsing the left or right side of the Safety Alert SeatF as the lane marking is crossed. See Safety Alert Seat.
Press the Lane Keep Assist button on the center of the instrument panel to turn the system on or off.
Lane Departure WarningF (HD Models Only) – When crossing a detected lane marking without using a turn signal, the system flashes an amber visual alert on the instrument cluster and pulses the left or right side of the Safety Alert SeatF. See Safety Alert Seat.
Press the Lane Departure Warning button on the center of the instrument panel to turn the system on or off.
Safety Alert SeatF – The driver’s seat pulses, left side, right side, or simultaneously, to alert the driver of potential hazards.
Audible notification may be selected instead of Safety Alert Seat pulsing notification. To change the alert setting, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection > Alert Type.
Rear Vision Camera – Provides a view directly behind the vehicle when backing up.
To turn the Rear Vision Camera Guidelines or Rear Park Assist Symbols on or off, go to Settings > Rear Camera.
Front and/or Rear Parking Assist – During low-speed parking maneuvers, the system provides “distance to
closest object” information in the Driver Information Center and a caution symbol on the Rear Vision Camera display. When the vehicle should be stopped immediately to avoid a collision, a continuous audible tone sounds or the Safety Alert Seat pulses. See Safety Alert Seat.
To turn the system on or off, press the Parking Assist button on the center of the instrument panel.See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.F Optional equipment

Tire Pressure Monitor (Single Rear Wheel Models Only)
Hill Descent Control sets and maintains vehicle speed from 2–14 mph while descending a steep incline in a forward or reverse gear.
1. Press the Hill Descent Control button on the center of the instrument panel. Vehicle speed must be below 31 mph to enable the system. The Hill Descent Control symbol will illuminate on the instrument cluster.
2. Increase or decrease speed by applying the accelerator or brake pedal or use the Cruise Control +/– buttons on the steering wheel. The adjusted speed becomes the new set speed. The symbol flashes when the system is actively applying the brakes to main-tain vehicle speed.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
Hill Descent ControlF (Z71)
The traction control system limits wheelspin and the StabiliTrak® stability control system assists with directional control 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 Off button on the center of the instrument panel to turn traction control off or back on. The Traction Control Off light will illuminate on the instrument cluster when the system is off.
Traction Control and StabiliTrak Systems
The Low Tire Pressure warning light on the instrument cluster illuminates when one or more of the vehicle’s tires is significantly underinflated. Fill the tires to the proper tire pressures. The proper tire pressures for the vehicle are listed on the Tire and Loading Information label, located below the driver’s door latch. Current tire pressures can be viewed in the Driver Information Center.
Tire pressure is affected by cold weather and distance driven. If the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates when the vehicle is first started in cooler temperatures and then turns off as the vehicle is driven, check for the proper tire pressures.
Refer to your Owner Manual for additional information about normal monthly tire maintenance.
