your vehicle begins to move away from the center of a detected lane while driving 
between 45–90 mph (72–145 km/h).
If you cross a detected lane line without using your

Turning LDW On or Off
Press LDW to turn the system on or off. A green 
indicator light appears on the button when the 
system is on.
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, LDW has limitations. Over-reliance on LDW may result 
in a collision. It is always your responsibility to keep the vehicle within your lane. 
LDW only alerts you when lane drift is detected without a turn signal in use. LDW 
may not detect all lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will vary based on 
weather, speed, and lane marker condition. It is always your responsibility to safely 
operate the vehicle and avoid collisions.

Indicator
Turning LKAS On or Off
1. Press the MAIN button. LKAS appears in the 
MID.
2. Press the LKAS button. Lane outlines appear in

Important Safety Reminder
LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a substitute for your vehicle control. The 
system does not work if you take your hands off the steering wheel or fa\
il to steer
the vehicle.
Do not place an object on the top of the instrument panel. It may reflect onto the 
windshield and prevent the system from detecting lane lines properly.

Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)*
Can alert you when a potential frontal collision with a vehicle or pedes\
trian is
determined and reduce your vehicle speed when a collision is deemed unavoidable 
to help minimize collision severity.
The system provides visual and audible alerts if you 
do not take appropriate action to avoid a collision.
Alert Stages
The system has three alert stages for a possible 
collision. Depending on the circumstances or 
CMBS settings, CMBS may not go through all of
the stages before initiating the last stage.
Stage 1:  Visual warnings and audible warning
Stage 2:  Visual warnings, audible warning, and light brake application
Stage 3:  Visual warnings, audible warning, and strong brake application

and a message appears in the MID. The CMBS 
indicator appears when the system is off.
Changing Settings

selections in the MID (see page 30).
1. Select the Customize Settings display.
2. Select Change Settings.
3. Select Driver Assist System Setup.
4. Select Forward Collision Warning Distance. Select Long, Normal, or Short.
5. Exit the menu.
Important Safety Reminder
CMBS is designed to reduce the severity of an unavoidable collision. It does not 
prevent collision nor stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your responsibility to 
operate the brake pedal and steering wheel appropriately according to the driving 
conditions.
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to change lanes before doing so may 
result in a crash and serious injury or death.
Do not rely only on LaneWatch while driving. Always look in your mirrors, to 
either side of your vehicle, and behind you for other vehicles before changing 
lanes.
WARNING
