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 on the instrument cluster when a vehicle is detected and is amber when following a vehicle ahead too closely. When approach-ing a vehicle directly ahead much too rapidly, a red alert flashes on the windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or beeps sound (if selected).
Press the Collision Alert
button on the steering wheel to set the alert timing to Far, Medium, Near or Off.
To set the Forward Collision Alert and Forward Automatic Braking systems to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems >Forward Collision System.
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.
Lane Change Alert/Side Blind Zone Alert – While driving, the system displays a warning symbol on the left or right side mir-ror when a vehicle is detected in that 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.
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, it 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 select-ed) 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 right side of the infotainment screen. The button illuminates when the system is on.
Forward/Reverse Automatic Braking – The brakes may be applied automatically in potential collision situations 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 and Forward Collision Alert to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Forward Collision System.
To set Reverse Automatic Braking on or off, press the Parking Assist button on the right side of the infotainment screen.
Automatic Safety Belt Tightening – While driving, the front safe-ty belts automatically tighten during emergency braking or steering maneuvers, and release when driving conditions return to normal.

Current tire pressures can be viewed on the Driver Information Center. The Tire Fill Alert provides visual and audible alerts to help when inflating a tire to the recommended tire
pressure.
