If your vehicle continues drifting out of the
lane after the lane keeping aid corrects the
vehicle, the system provides a steering
wheel vibration.
If your vehicle stays to one side of the lane
after the lane keeping aid corrects your
vehicle and then subsequently drifts out of
the lane again, the system only provides an
Alert at the steering wheel.

Driving Aids

Note:If you perceive the pre-collision assist
alert as being too frequent or disturbing, you
can reduce the alert sensitivity. The low
sensitivity causes fewer and later warnings
of a potential forward collision. The
manufacturer recommends using the high
sensitivity setting where possible.
Note:The sensitivity setting does not affect
the performance of the automatic
emergency braking.
Note:The system turns off when you select
deep conditions or deep sand mode.
Distance Indication and Alert (If Equipped)
This is a function that provides the driver with
a graphical indication of the time gap to other
preceding vehicles traveling in the same
direction. The system shows one of the
graphics that follow in the information
display.
E254797
If the time gap to a preceding vehicle is
small, a red visual indication displays to the
driver.
Note:The system turns off and the graphics
do not display when adaptive cruise control
is active.

Evasive Steering Assist (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching a road
user, this helps you steer around the road
user.
After you turn the steering wheel in an
attempt to avoid a crash with the road user,
the system applies additional steering torque
to help you steer around the road user. After
you pass the road user, the system applies
steering torque when you turn the steering
wheel to steer back into the lane. The system
turns off after you fully pass the road user.

Driving Aids

Note:Road users are defined as another
stationary vehicle in the same lane or a
vehicle traveling in the same lane in the
same direction as you.
Evasive steering assist only activates when
all the following occur:
• Automatic emergency braking and
evasive steering assist are on.
• The system detects a road user ahead
and starts to apply the brakes.
• You significantly turn the steering wheel
to steer around a road user.
Note:The system does not automatically
steer around a road user. If you do not turn
the steering wheel, the system does not
activate.
Note:The system does not activate if the
distance to the road user ahead is too small
and the system cannot avoid a crash.
Note:The system does not activate with
cyclists or pedestrians.Adjusting the Pre-Collision Assist
Settings
You can adjust the following settings by
using the touchscreen. See General
Information (page 136).
• You can change alert and distance alert
sensitivity to one of three possible
settings.
• You can switch distance indication and
alert on or off.
• If required, you can switch active braking
on or off.
• If required, you can switch evasive
steering assist on or off.
Note:Active braking and evasive steering
assist automatically turn on every time you
switch the ignition on.
Note:If you switch active braking off, evasive
steering assist turns off.
