FPB alerts and automatic
braking will not occur unless
the FPB system detects a
pedestrian. When a nearby
pedestrian is detected in front
of the vehicle, the pedestrian
ahead indicator will display
amber.
Front Pedestrian Alert
With Head-Up Display
Without Head-Up Display
When the vehicle approaches
a pedestrian ahead too rapidly,
the red FPB alert display will
flash on the windshield. Eight rapid high-pitched beeps will
sound from the front, or both
sides of the Safety Alert Seat
will pulse five times. When this
Pedestrian Alert occurs, the
brake system may prepare for
driver braking to occur more
rapidly which can cause a
brief, mild deceleration.
Continue to apply the brake
pedal as needed. Cruise
control may be disengaged
when the Front Pedestrian
Alert occurs.
Automatic Braking
If FPB detects it is about to
crash into a pedestrian
directly ahead, and the brakes
have not been applied, FPB
may automatically brake
moderately or brake hard. This
can help to avoid some very
low speed pedestrian crashes
or reduce pedestrian injury.
FPB can automatically brake
to detected pedestrians
between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). Automatic
braking levels may be reduced
under certain conditions, such
as higher speeds.
If this happens, Automatic
Braking may engage the
Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
to hold the vehicle at a stop.
Release the EPB. A firm press
of the accelerator pedal will
also release Automatic
Braking and the EPB.
{Warning
FPB may alert or
automatically brake the
vehicle suddenly in
situations where it is
unexpected and undesired.
It could falsely alert or brake
for objects similar in shape
or size to pedestrians,
including shadows. This is
normal operation and the
vehicle does not need
service. To override
Automatic Braking, firmly
press the accelerator pedal,
if it is safe to do so.

damaged, and the repairs
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Pull a
trailer only if all the steps in
this section have been
followed. Ask your dealer for
advice and information
about towing a trailer with
the vehicle.
Driving with a Trailer
Trailering is different than just
driving the vehicle by itself.
Trailering means changes in
handling, acceleration, braking,
durability, and fuel economy.
Successful, safe trailering
takes correct equipment, and
it has to be used properly.
The following information has
many time-tested, important
trailering tips and safety rules.
Many of these are important
for your safety and that of
your passengers. Read this
section carefully before pulling
a trailer.When towing a trailer:
.Become familiar with, and
follow all state and local laws
that apply to trailer towing.
These requirements vary
from state to state.
.State laws may require the
use of extended side view
mirrors. If your visibility is
limited or restricted while
towing, install extended side
view mirrors on your vehicle,
even if not required.
.Do not tow a trailer during
the first 800 km (500 mi) of
vehicle use to prevent
damage to the engine, axle,
or other parts.
.Perform the first oil change
before heavy towing.
.Do not drive over 800 km/h
(50 mph) and do not make
starts at full throttle during
the first 800 km (500 mi) of
trailer towing.
.Tow in D (Drive). If the
transmission downshifts too
often, a lower gear may be
selected using Manual Mode.
See Manual Mode
(Electronic Shifter)
0281 or
Manual Mode (Mechanical
Shifter) 0280.
If equipped, the following
driver assistance features
should be turned off when
towing a trailer:
