DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS♦
Safety or driver assistance features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Read your Owner’s Manual for important feature limitations and information\
.
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.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning♦ – The system may help you avoid collisions due to unintentional lane departures. The Lane Keep Assist Indicator is green if the system is avail-able 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 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 lane marking is crossed. The Lane Keep Assist system does not continuously steer the vehicle; 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 instrument panel.
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 direct-ly 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. The setting is displayed on the Driver Information Center (A).
Following Distance Indicator♦ – The
following distance to the vehicle ahead is indicated in seconds on the Driver Information Center (B). If no vehicle is detected ahead, dashes are displayed.
Adaptive Cruise Control–Advanced♦ – The system maintains the set speed and a following gap – the time between your vehicle and a vehicle detected directly ahead – by accelerating or braking auto-matically while you continue to steer.
To set a following gap, press the Following Gap button on the left side of the steering wheel.
Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert♦ – While driv-ing, 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.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert♦ – With the vehicle in Reverse, the sys-tem warns of cross 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 Park Assist
button on the left side of the instrument panel. This will also turn on/off the Park Assist and Rear Automatic Braking systems.
