DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Safety or Driver Assistance features are not a substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for important feature limitations and information.
Safety Alert SeatF
The driver’s seat pulses — left side, right side or simultaneously — to alert the driver of the direction of potential hazards.
Audible alerts or seat pulsing alerts may be selected. To change the alert settings, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Alert Type.
Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone 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 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 WarningF
The system may help you avoid collisions due to unintentional lane departures. The Lane Keep Assist Indicator is green on the instrument cluster if the system is available to assist. If the vehicle approaches a detected lane marking without using a turn signal in that direction, the system may assist by gently turning the steering wheel and display 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 lane marking is crossed. The Lane Keep Assist system does not continuously steer the vehi-cle; 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 when a vehicle is detected and illuminates in 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 rapid beeps sound (if selected).
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.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Follow Distance IndicatorF
The follow distance to the vehicle ahead is indicated in seconds under the Info menu on the Driver Information Center. If no vehicle is detected ahead, dashes are displayed.
Forward Automatic BrakingF
In potential front-end collision situations with detected vehicles, the brakes may be applied to help reduce damage or avoid collisions at very low speeds.
To set the Forward Automatic Braking and Forward Collision Alert systems to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Forward Collision System.
Rear Vision Camera/Surround VisionF
When the vehicle is in Reverse, the Rear Vision Camera displays a view of the area behind the vehicle on the infotainment screen. Vehicle speed must be below 8 mph.
The Surround VisionF displays a rear or front camera view along with a view of the area surrounding the vehicle on the infotainment screen when the vehicle is in Reverse or Drive below 5 mph.
FrontF and Rear Parking Assist/Rear Cross Traffic AlertF
During low-speed parking maneuvers, the Front and Rear Parking Assist system provides “distance to closest object” information on the Driver Information Center and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or a beep sounds (if selected). When an object is very close, the Safety Alert Seat pulses or 5 beeps sound (if selected).
When the vehicle is in Reverse, the Rear Cross Traffic Alert system warns of traffic coming in either direction by displaying a red alert on the infotainment screen and pulsing the left or right side of the Safety Alert Seat or sounding 3 beeps (if selected).
To turn the Front and Rear Parking Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert systems on or off, press the Parking Assist button on the center of the instrument panel.
Automatic Parking AssistF
Automatic Parking Assist steers the vehicle to help you park in parallel or perpendicular spaces while you follow commands and control the gear selection, acceleration and
braking. The system is available when vehicle speed is below 18 mph.
Press the Automatic Parking Assist button on the center of the instrument panel. A beep sounds and a parking assist display is shown on the infotainment screen. The system will begin searching for a large enough parking space.
Once a space is found, shift the vehicle into Reverse or Drive as directed, follow the com-mands on the infotainment screen and apply the accelerator or brake as needed. The steering wheel will briefly vibrate as a reminder to remove your hands. Parking Complete will be displayed and a beep will sound when the parking maneuver is complete.
