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.
FORWARD COLLISION ALERT – The Vehicle Ahead indicator is green on the instru-ment cluster when a vehicle is detected and is amber when following a ve\
hicle ahead much too closely. When approaching a detected vehicle directly ahead too\
rapidly, a red alert flashes on the windshield and rapid beeps sound.
Press the Collision Alert button on the steering wheel to set the alert timing to Far, Medium or Near. The setting is displayed on the Driver Information \
Center.
FOLLOWING DISTANCE INDICATOR – The following distance to the vehicle detected ahead is indicated in seconds under the Info menu on the Driver Informat\
ion Center. If no vehicle is detected ahead, dashes are displayed. The Follow Distance pag\
e must be selected under the Info Page Options menu.
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING — In detected potential imminent collision situations with vehicles detected directly ahead, the system can provide alerts and enhance driver hard braking or automatically apply hard emergency braking, if you have not already done so, to help reduce the severity or help avoid collisions at very low speeds.
To set Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Alert to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Setting\
s > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Forward Collision System.
FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKING – During daytime driving, the system detects pedestrians directly ahead up to a distance of approximately 131 feet and displays a\
n amber indi-cator on the instrument cluster. When approaching a detected pedestrian \
too quickly, a red alert flashes on the windshield and rapid beeps sound. The system \
may prepare the brakes or automatically apply hard emergency braking, if you have not al\
ready done so.
To set the system to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Ve\
hicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Front Pedestrian Detection.
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 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 providing brief, gentle steering wheel turns and displaying an amber .
If active driver steering is not detected, the amber may flash and 3 beeps may sound on the side of the departure direction as the lane marking is crossed. I\
n order to use this system safely, the driver needs to steer and be in complete control of t\
he vehicle.
To turn on or off, press the Lane Keep Assist button (A) on the center console.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
