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\
.
DRIVER AWARENESS PACKAGE
Low-Speed Forward Automatic Braking – In potential front-end imminent collision situations with detected vehicles, the brakes may be applied, if you have not already done so, to help reduce damage or avoid collisions at very low speeds.
To turn on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Forward Collision System.
Lane Departure Warning (All-Wheel Drive models) – When crossing a detected lane marking without using a turn signal in that direction, the system flashes an amber on the instrument cluster and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or beeps sound (if selected) on the side of the lane departure direction.
To turn on or off, press the Lane Departure Warning button.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning (Front-Wheel Drive models) – The system may help you 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 direc-tion, 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 select-ed) 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 on or off, press the Lane Keep Assist button.
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 on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Lane Change Alert.
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 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.
Following Distance Indicator – The following distance to the vehicle ahead is indicated in seconds on the Driver Information Center. If no vehicle is detected ahead, dashes are displayed.
Surround Vision – The Surround Vision system 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.
To switch views, touch the front or rear camera screen button at the bottom of the screen.
To turn the guidelines on or off, touch the guidelines screen button at the bottom of the screen.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS♦
Rear Cross Traffic Alert – With the vehicle in Reverse, the system 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 on or off, press the Park Assist
button.
Safety Alert Seat – The driver’s seat pulses (left side, right side, or simultaneously) to alert you of the direction 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.
DRIVER ASSIST PACKAGE
Forward/Reverse Automatic Braking – In potential front- and rear-end imminent collision situations with vehicles directly ahead or behind, and with some objects behind your vehicle, the brakes may be applied, if you have not already done so, to help reduce the collision's severity or help avoid collisions at very low speeds. 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 turn Reverse Automatic Braking on or off, press the Park Assist button.
Adaptive Cruise Control – 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 automatically while you continue to steer.
Press the Following Gap button on the steering wheel to select a following gap of Far, Medium, or Near. (Also the Forward Collision Alert setting.)
See Driving and Operating in your Owner's Manual.
The traction control
system limits wheelspin and the StabiliTrak
stability control system assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. Both systems turn on auto-matically every time the vehicle is started. Turn off traction control if the vehicle is stuck and rocking the vehicle is required.
Press the Traction Control/StabiliTrak button on the
center of the instrument panel to turn traction control off or back on. The Traction Control Off light on the instrument cluster will illuminate when the system is off.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner's Manual.
STABILITRAK®/TRACTION
CONTROL SYSTEMS
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.
1. Press the Automatic Parking Assist button on the center of the instrument panel. A parking assist display is shown on the Driver Information Center (DIC). The system will begin search-ing for a large enough parking space.
2. To switch between parallel and perpendicular parking, press and hold the button during the search process.
3. Once a space is found, shift the vehicle into Reverse or Drive as directed, follow the commands on the DIC and apply the accel-erator 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.
