Audible alerts or seat pulsing alerts may be selected. To change the alert settings, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Alert Type.
Side Blind Zone Alert with Lane Change AlertF
While driving, the system displays a warning symbol on the left or right side mirror when a vehicle is detected in that side blind zone area or rapidly approaching that area. The warning symbol flashes if a turn signal is activated when a vehicle has been detected.

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure WarningF
The system may help avoid collisions due to unintentional lane departures. The Lane Keep Assist indicator is green on the instru-ment cluster if the system is available to assist.

If active driver steering is not detected, the amber may flash and the Safety Alert Seat may pulse 3 times, or 3 beeps may sound, on the side of the departure direction as the lane marking is crossed. In order to use this system safely, the driver needs to steer and be in complete control of the vehicle.
To turn the system on or off, press the Lane Keep Assist button on the center of the instrument panel.
Forward Collision AlertF
The Vehicle Ahead indicator illuminates in green on the instrument cluster when a vehicle is detected and illuminates in amber when following a vehicle ahead too closely. If your vehicle approaches another vehicle too rapidly, a visual alert flashes on the windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or rapid beeps sound.
Press the Collision Alert button on the steering wheel to set the alert timing to Far, Medium, or Near. This is also the Adaptive Cruise Control Following Gap setting.
