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.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
