DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
To turn the following driver assistance systems on/off or to change the system settings, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems on the Infotainment Screen.
SAFETY ALERT SEAT – The driver’s seat pulses — left, right, or both sides — to alert you of the direction of potential hazards. Audible alerts may be selected instead.
FORWARD COLLISION ALERT – The Vehicle Ahead indicator is green when a vehicle is detected ahead that you’re following and is amber when following a vehicle ahead much too closely. When approaching a detected 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 Forward Collision Alert button on the steering wheel to set the alert timing to Far, Medium, or Near.
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING – The system works with Forward Collision Alert to help you avoid or reduce the severity of front-end collisions with a detected vehicle you're following. The system works at speeds below 50 mph. Camera technology is used to automatically provide hard emergency braking or enhance the driver's hard braking.
FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKING – During daytime driving, the
system can detect pedestrians directly ahead and displays an amber indicator on the Cluster Display. When approaching a detected pedestrian too quickly, a red alert flashes on the windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or rapid beeps sound (if selected). The sys-tem may prepare the brakes or automatically apply hard emergency braking, if you have not already done so. The system works at speeds below 50 mph and has limited nighttime and low visibility performance.
REAR PEDESTRIAN ALERT – During daytime driving with the vehicle in Reverse, the system can detect pedestrians directly behind the vehicle and will display an amber indicator on the Infotainment Screen. When a pedestrian is detected close to the vehicle, the indicator flashes red and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or rapid beeps sound (if select-ed). The system has limited nighttime and low visibility performance.
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 on the Cluster Display if the system is available to assist. If the vehicle approaches a detected lane marking without using a turn signal in that direction or it detects you may be intentionally leaving your lane, the system may assist by gently turning the steering wheel and displaying an amber indicator. If active driver steering is not detected, the amber indicator 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. 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 center console.
