DRIVING AND OPERATING 319
Rear Pedestrian Alert can be set to Off
or Alert. See“Rear Pedestrian
Detection ”in “Collision/Detection
Systems” underVehicle Personalization
0 140. If equipped, alerts can be set to
beeps or seat pulses. See “Alert Type”
in “Collision/Detection Systems” under
Vehicle Personalization 0140.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) System
If equipped, Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) displays a red warning triangle
with a left or right pointing arrow on
the infotainment display to warn of
traffic coming from the left or right.
This system detects objects coming
from up to 20 m (65 ft) from the left
or right side of the vehicle. When an
object is detected, either three beeps
sound from the left or right or three
Safety Alert Seat pulses occur on the
left or right side, depending on the
direction of the detected vehicle.
Driving With a Trailer
Use caution while backing up when
towing a trailer. The RCTA feature is
automatically disabled when a trailer
is attached to the vehicle. Turning the Features On or Off
RCTA can be turned on or off using
the infotainment system. See
“Collision/Detection Systems”
under
Vehicle Personalization 0140.
Assistance Systems for
Driving
If equipped, when driving the vehicle
in a forward gear, Forward Collision
Alert (FCA), Front Pedestrian Braking
(FPB), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Side
Blind Zone Alert (SBZA), Night Vision
System, Lane Change Alert (LCA),
and/or Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) can help to avoid a crash or
reduce crash damage.
Forward Collision Alert
(FCA) System
The FCA system may help to avoid or
reduce the harm caused by front-end
crashes. When approaching a vehicle
ahead too quickly, FCA provides a red
flashing alert on the windshield and
rapidly beeps or pulses the driver seat.
FCA also lights an amber visual alert
if following another vehicle much too
closely. FCA detects vehicles within a distance
of approximately 60 m (197 ft) and
operates at speeds above 8 km/h
(5 mph). If the vehicle has Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC), it can detect
vehicles to distances of approximately
110 m (360 ft) and operates at all
speeds. See
Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced) 0275.
{Warning
FCA is a warning system and does
not apply the brakes. When
approaching a slower-moving or
stopped vehicle ahead too rapidly,
or when following a vehicle too
closely, FCA may not provide a
warning with enough time to help
avoid a crash. It also may not
provide any warning at all. FCA
does not warn of pedestrians,
animals, signs, guardrails, bridges,
construction barrels, or other
objects. Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. See Defensive
Driving 0232.

326 DRIVING AND OPERATING
Adjust the instrument panel
brightness to make the image no
brighter than necessary. Turn the
image off by selecting another view
on the instrument cluster. The night
vision image brightness and contrast
can be adjusted individually using the
touchscreen to the left of the
instrument cluster.
Warm objects, such as pedestrians,
animals, and other moving vehicles,
should appear whiter on the Night
Vision display. Cold objects, such as
the sky, signs, and parked vehicles,
should appear darker. Night Vision
only shows objects that are warmer or
colder than the surroundings. It does
not detect brake lamps, turn signals,
emergency flashers, traffic lights,
or sign information.
Use this system as an aid by
occasionally glancing at the image. Do
not stare at the image or use the
image under well-lit conditions.{Warning
Do not stare at the image while
driving as this might cause
important objects ahead not to be
seen. You could crash, and you or
others could be injured.
When a pedestrian or large animal is
detected, a yellow box will be drawn
around it. With the vehicle moving
when the pedestrian or animal may be
in the vehicle path, an amber box
displays around the pedestrian or
animal on the Night Vision display
and an amber pedestrian icon,
~,
or animal icon,
!, displays on the
instrument cluster. This pedestrian
icon is also shown on the Head-Up
Display (HUD). When the system
detects the vehicle is approaching a
pedestrian or large animal too quickly,
the amber pedestrian icon or animal
icon and amber box turns red, and a
red flashing icon,
~or!, displays on
the HUD with rapid beeping or
pulsing of the Safety Alert Seat,
if equipped. System pedestrian icons, beeps, and
(if equipped) Safety Alert Seat pulses
can be set to Off through vehicle
personalization by turning off the
Front Pedestrian Braking system. See
“Front Pedestrian Detection
”in
“Collision/Detection Systems” under
Vehicle Personalization 0140.
{Warning
The Night Vision system does not
automatically brake the vehicle.
It does not provide alerts unless it
detects a pedestrian or large
animal. The system may not detect
pedestrians, including children,
or animals:
.If they are less than 25 m
(82 ft) away.
.If they are not directly ahead in
the sensor coverage area, fully
visible, standing upright, or part
of a group.
.If the person or animal is moving
too quickly through the field of
view, such as a bicyclist.

ESBZA Detection Zones
1. SBZA Detection Zone
2. ESBZA Detection Zone
3. LCA Detection Zone
The Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
warning area starts at approximately
the middle of the vehicle and goes
back 5 m (16 ft). The Extended Side
Blind Zone Alert (ESBZA) warning
area starts at approximately 3 m
(10 ft) to the trailing edge of the
vehicle and goes back up to 21 m
(69 ft) behind the vehicle. The
maximum trailer length is 12 m (39 ft).
How the System Works
The LCA/ESBZA symbol lights up in
the side mirrors when the system
detects a moving vehicle in the next
lane over that is in the extended side
blind zone. This indicates it may be
unsafe to change lanes. Before makinga lane change, check the SBZA
display, check mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use the turn
signals.
Left Side Mirror
DisplayRight Side Mirror Display
When the vehicle is started, both
outside mirror LCA/ESBZA displays
will briefly come on to indicate the
system is operating. When the vehicle
is in a forward gear, the left- or
right-side mirror display will light up
if a moving vehicle is detected in that
blind zone. If the turn signal is
activated in the same direction as a
detected vehicle, this display will flash
as an extra warning not to change
lanes.
LCA/ESBZA displays may not come on
when passing a vehicle quickly,
or when passing a stopped vehicle.
LCA/ESBZA may alert to objects
attached to the vehicle, such as a bicycle, or object extending out to
either side of the vehicle or trailer.
This is normal system operation; the
vehicle does not need service.
LCA/ESBZA can be disabled through
vehicle personalization. See
“Collision/
Detection Systems” underVehicle
Personalization 0140. If SBZA is
disabled by the driver, the ESBZA
mirror displays will not light up.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
LCA/ESBZA displays may not come on
when passing a vehicle quickly,
or when passing a stopped vehicle.
The LCA/ESBZA detection zones that
extend back from the side of the
vehicle do not move further back
when a trailer is towed. Use caution
while changing lanes when towing a
trailer. LCA/ESBZA may alert to
objects attached to the vehicle, such
as a trailer, bicycle, or object
extending out to either side of the
vehicle or trailer. This is normal
system operation; the vehicle does not
need service.

{Warning
Use of aftermarket electronic trailer
sway control devices could result in
reduced trailer brake performance,
loss of trailer brakes, or other
malfunctions, and result in a crash.
You or others could be seriously
injured or killed. Before using one
of these devices:
.Ask the device or trailer
manufacturer if the device has
been thoroughly tested for
compatibility with the make,
model, and year of your vehicle
and any optional equipment
installed on your vehicle.
.Before driving, check the trailer
brakes are working properly,
if equipped. Drive the vehicle
with the trailer attached on a
level road surface that is free of
traffic at about 32-40 km/h
(20-25 mph) and fully apply the
manual trailer brake apply lever.
Also, check the trailer brake
lamps and other lamps are
functioning correctly.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.If the trailer brakes are not
operating properly at any time,
or if a DIC message indicates
problems with the trailer
connections or trailer brakes,
carefully pull the vehicle over to
the side of the road when traffic
conditions allow.
Trailer Tires
Special Trailer (ST) tires differ from
vehicle tires. Trailer tires are designed
with stiff sidewalls to help prevent
sway and to support heavy loads.
These features can make it difficult to
determine if the trailer tire pressures
are low only based on a visual
inspection.
Always check all trailer tire pressures
before each trip when the tires are
cool. Low trailer tire pressure is a
leading cause of trailer tire blow-outs.
If the vehicle is equipped with a trailer
tire pressure monitoring system, see
the trailer tire pressure monitoring
system description and the
trailering app. Trailer tires deteriorate over time. The
trailer tire sidewall will show the week
and year the tire was manufactured.
Many trailer tire manufacturers
recommend replacing tires more than
six years old.
Overloading is another leading cause
of trailer tire blow-outs. Never load
your trailer with more weight than the
tires are designed to support. The load
rating is located on the trailer tire
sidewall.
Always know the maximum speed
rating for the trailer tires before
driving. This may be significantly
lower than the vehicle tire speed
rating. The speed rating may be on
the trailer tire sidewall. If the speed
rating is not shown, the default trailer
tire speed rating is 105 km/h (65 mph).
Trailering App
Trailer Lights App
If equipped, the Trailer Lights App is
