DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS♦
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 when a vehicle is detected and is amber 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 Safety Alert Seat pulses or beeps sound (if selected).
To set the alert timing, press the Following Gap button on the left side of the steering wheel.
FOLLOWING DISTANCE INDICATOR♦
The following time to the vehicle ahead is indicated in seconds on the Driver Information Center. If no vehicle is detected ahead, dashes are displayed.
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 KEEP ASSIST WITH LANE DEPARTURE WARNING♦
The system may help avoid collisions due to unintentional lane departures. The Lane Keep Assist indicator is green if the
system is available to assist. If the vehicle approaches a detected lane marking without using a turn signal in that direction, the sys-tem may assist by gently turning the steering wheel and displaying an amber . If active driver steering is not detected, the amber may flash and the Safety Alert Seat may pulse or beeps may sound (if selected) on the side of the departure direction as the lan\
e 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 left side of the infotainment screen.
FORWARD/REVERSE AUTOMATIC BRAKING♦
The brakes may be applied automatically in potential collision situ-ations to help reduce damage or help avoid collisions with vehicles directly ahead or behind, and with some objects behind, your vehicle.
To set Forward Automatic Braking to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Forward Collision System.
To set Reverse Automatic Braking to 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.
AUTOMATIC SAFETY BELT TIGHTENING♦
The front safety belts automatically tighten during emergency
braking or steering maneuvers, and release when driving conditions return to normal.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS♦
When the vehicle is on, the auto heated seats and auto heated steering wheel or auto ventilated seats will be activated based on the vehicle’s interior temperature. Turn off the heated or ventilated seats using the seat controls. Turn off the heated steering wheel using the steering wheel control.

WHEEL♦ AND VENTILATED SEATS♦
REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT♦
With the vehicle in Reverse, the system warns of traffic coming in either direction by displaying a red alert on the infotainment screen and the left or right side of the Safety Alert Seat pulses or beeps sound (if selected).
To turn the system on or off, press the Parking Assist button on the right side of the infotainment screen. This will also turn the Parking Assist and Rear Automatic Braking
systems on/off.
LANE CHANGE ALERT WITH SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT♦
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 on the same side.
To turn the
system on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Lane Change Alert.
