near idle speed. It does this by
automatically steering,
braking, accelerating, and gear
shifting. The driver must
always be prepared to apply
braking or additional
acceleration, as needed.
A display and audible beeps
help to guide the parking
maneuvers.
{Warning
APA may not always detect
objects in the parking space,
objects that are not rigid
(e.g. shrubs and chain-link
fences), objects below the
bumper, objects high off the
ground (e.g. flatbed trucks),
hanging objects, objects
below ground level (e.g. large
potholes), or moving objects
(e.g. pedestrians, cyclists,
vehicles). Always verify that
the parking space is
appropriate for parking a
vehicle. APA may not(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
respond to changes in the
parking space, such as
movement of an adjacent
vehicle, or a person or
object entering the parking
space. APA does not detect
or avoid traffic that is
behind or alongside of the
vehicle. Always be prepared
to stop the vehicle during
the parking maneuver.
How to Activate Automatic
Parking
To activate APA, press
Oon
the infotainment screen for
the system to begin searching
for a parking space while
driving forward at no greater
than 30 km/h (18 mph). APA
searches for parking spaces,
to the left or right of the
vehicle, up to the sensors’
ranges of 1.5 m (5 ft). To
search for a parking space to
the left, turn on the left turn
signal or, if available, change the side selection in the
infotainment display. To
choose or change the parking
mode, make a selection on the
infotainment display.
APA cannot park in all empty
parking spots. The parking
spot must:
.Be sufficiently large to fit the
vehicle comfortably.
.Have an adjacent vehicle,
wall, or pillar for the system
to align to.
After completely passing an
eligible parking spot, a beep
sounds and a notification to
stop the vehicle is displayed in
the driver information center.
Generally, APA selects the
nearest empty parking spot

Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
The AEB system may help
avoid or reduce the harm
caused by front-end crashes.
AEB also includes Intelligent
Brake Assist (IBA). When the
system detects a vehicle
ahead in your path that is
traveling in the same direction
that you may be about to
crash into, it can provide a
boost to braking or
automatically brake the
vehicle. This can help avoid or
lessen the severity of crashes
when driving in a forward gear.
Depending on the situation,
the vehicle may automatically
brake moderately or hard. This
automatic emergency braking
can only occur if a vehicle is
detected. This is shown by the
FCA vehicle ahead indicator
being lit. See Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) System0270. The system works when
driving in a forward gear
above 4km/h (2 mph). It can
detect vehicles up to
approximately 60 m (197 ft).
{Warning
AEB is an emergency crash
preparation feature and is
not designed to avoid
crashes. Do not rely on AEB
to brake the vehicle. AEB will
not brake outside of its
operating speed range and
only responds to detected
vehicles.
AEB may not:
.Detect a vehicle ahead on
winding or hilly roads.
.Detect all vehicles,
especially vehicles with a
trailer, tractors, muddy
vehicles, etc.
.Detect a vehicle when
weather limits visibility,
such as in fog, rain,
or snow.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Detect a vehicle ahead if it
is partially blocked by
pedestrians or other
objects.
Complete attention is
always required while
driving, and you should be
ready to take action and
apply the brakes and/or
steer the vehicle to avoid
crashes.
AEB may slow the vehicle to a
complete stop to try to avoid a
potential crash. If this
happens, AEB may engage the
Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
to hold the vehicle at a stop.
Release the EPB or firmly
press the accelerator pedal.
{Warning
AEB may automatically
brake the vehicle suddenly in
situations where it is
unexpected and undesired. (Continued)

274 Driving and Operating
Warning (Continued)
It could respond to a turning
vehicle ahead, guardrails,
signs, and other non-moving
objects. To override AEB,
firmly press the accelerator
pedal, if it is safe to do so.
Intelligent Brake
Assist (IBA)
IBA may activate when the
brake pedal is applied quickly
by providing a boost to
braking based on the speed of
approach and distance to a
vehicle ahead.
Minor brake pedal pulsations
or pedal movement during this
time is normal and the brake
pedal should continue to be
applied as needed. IBA will
automatically disengage only
when the brake pedal is
released.
{Warning
IBA may increase vehicle
braking in situations when it
may not be necessary. You
could block the flow of
traffic. If this occurs, take
your foot off the brake pedal
and then apply the brakes as
needed.
AEB and IBA can be disabled
through vehicle
personalization. To view
available settings for this
feature, touch the Settings
icon on the infotainment home
page. Select “Vehicle”to
display the list of available
options and select “Collision/
Detection Systems”.
A system unavailable message
may display if:
.The front of the vehicle or
windshield is not clean.
.Heavy rain or snow is
interfering with object
detection.
.There is a problem with the
StabiliTrak system.
The AEB system does not
need service.
Front Pedestrian
Braking (FPB) System
If equipped, the FPB system
may help avoid or reduce the
harm caused by front-end
crashes with pedestrians near
the forward path of the
vehicle when driving in a
forward gear. FPB displays an
amber indicator,
~, when a
nearby pedestrian is detected
ahead. When approaching a
detected pedestrian too
quickly, FPB provides a red
flashing alert on the
windshield and rapidly beeps
or pulses the driver seat. FPB
can provide a boost to braking
or automatically brake the
vehicle. This system includes
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA),
and the Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB) system may also

respond to pedestrians. See
Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB)0273.
The FPB system can detect
and alert to pedestrians in a
forward gear at speeds
between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). During
daytime driving, the system
detects pedestrians up to a
distance of approximately
40 m (131 ft). During nighttime
driving, system performance is
very limited.
{Warning
FPB does not provide an
alert or automatically brake
the vehicle, unless it detects
a pedestrian. FPB may not
detect pedestrians, including
children:
.When the pedestrian is
not directly ahead, fully
visible, or standing upright,
or when part of a group. (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Due to poor visibility,
including nighttime
conditions, fog, rain,
or snow.
.If the FPB sensor is
blocked by dirt, snow,
or ice.
.If the headlamps or
windshield are not cleaned
or in proper condition.
Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. For more
information, see Defensive
Driving 0196. Keep the
windshield, headlamps, and
FPB sensor clean and in
good repair.
FPB can be set to Off, Alert,
or Alert and Brake through
vehicle personalization. To
view available settings for this
feature, touch the Settings
icon on the infotainment home
page. Select “Vehicle”to display the list of available
options and select
“Collision/
Detection Systems”.
Detecting the Pedestrian
Ahead
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.

Side Blind Zone
Alert (SBZA)
If equipped, the SBZA system
is a lane-changing aid that
assists drivers with avoiding
crashes that occur with
moving vehicles in the side
blind zone, or blind spot areas.
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 and a
vehicle is also detected on the
same side, the display will flash
as an extra warning not to
change lanes. Since this
system is part of the Lane
Change Alert (LCA) system,
read the entire LCA section
before using this feature.
Lane Change
Alert (LCA)
If equipped, the LCA system is
a lane-changing aid that
assists drivers with avoiding
lane change crashes thatoccur with moving vehicles in
the side blind zone (or spot)
areas or with vehicles rapidly
approaching these areas from
behind. The LCA warning
display will light up in the
corresponding outside mirror
and will flash if the turn signal
is on.
Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) is
included as part of the LCA
system.
{Warning
LCA does not alert the
driver to vehicles outside of
the system detection zones,
pedestrians, bicyclists,
or animals. It may not
provide alerts when
changing lanes under all
driving conditions. Failure to
use proper care when
changing lanes may result in
injury, death, or vehicle
damage. Before making a
lane change, always check
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and use the turn
signals.
LCA Detection Zones
1. SBZA Detection Zone
2. LCA Detection Zone
The LCA sensor covers a zone
of approximately one lane over
from both sides of the vehicle,
or 3.5 m (11 ft). The height of
the zone is approximately
between 0.5 m (1.5 ft) and 2 m
(6 ft) off the ground. The Side
Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
warning area starts at
approximately the middle of

the vehicle and goes back 5 m
(16 ft). Drivers are also warned
of vehicles rapidly
approaching from up to 70 m
(230 ft) behind the vehicle.
How the System Works
The LCA symbol lights up in
the side mirrors when the
system detects a moving
vehicle in the next lane over
that is in the side blind zone or
rapidly approaching that zone
from behind. A lit LCA symbol
indicates it may be unsafe to
change lanes. Before making a
lane change, check the LCA
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
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 the next lane over
in that blind zone or rapidly
approaching that 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 can be disabled through
vehicle personalization.To view
available settings from the
infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/
Detection Systems. If LCA is
disabled by the driver, the LCA
mirror displays will not light up.
When the System Does
Not Seem to Work
Properly
The LCA system requires
some driving for the system to
calibrate to maximum
performance. This calibration
may occur more quickly if the
vehicle is driven on a straight
highway road with traffic and
roadside objects (e.g.,
guardrails, barriers).
LCA displays may not come on
when passing a vehicle quickly
or for a stopped vehicle. LCA
may alert to objects attached
to the vehicle, such as a
bicycle, or object extending
out to either side of the
vehicle. Attached objects may
also interfere with the
detection of vehicles. This is
normal system operation; the
vehicle does not need service.
LCA may not always alert the
driver to vehicles in the next
lane over, especially in wet
conditions or when driving on
sharp curves. The system
