DRIVING

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)*

Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a detected lane
while driving between 45–90 mph (72–145 km/h).
It also can provide visual and tactile alerts if your
vehicle is getting too close to detected left or
right side lane markings while driving between
45–90 mph (72–145 km/h) without a turn signal
activated.
In this case, a Lane Departure message appears
on the MID. The steering wheel vibrates, steering
torque is applied to help keep your vehicle within
your driving lane, and the LDW function will
beep. Take appropriate action to stay within your
driving lane.
Turning LKAS On or Off
1. Press MAIN. LKAS appears in the MID.
2. Press the LKAS button. Lane outlines appear
in the MID. Dotted lane lines turn solid when
the system operates.
3. Press MAIN or the LKAS button to turn the
system off.
Important Safety Reminder
The LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not a substitute for your vehicle control.
The system does not work if you take your hands off the steering wheel or fail to
steer the vehicle.

Blind Spot Information (BSI)*

Alerts you to a detected vehicle in your left or right blind spot while driving 20 mph
(32 km/h) or higher.
When a vehicle is detected in your blind spot, the
blind spot indicator turns on and stays lit until the
area is clear.
When your turn signal is on and a vehicle is detected,
the blind spot indicator blinks and a beep sounds until
the area is clear or the turn signal is off.
Changing Settings
Change the alert type, or turn the system on or off. Use the interface dial to make
selections.
1. Press SETTINGS.
2. Select Vehicle Settings, Select Driver Assist
System Setup. The vehicle must be in Park (P).
3. Select Blind Spot Info.
4. Select an alert type, or Off.
5. Press BACK to exit the menu.
WARNING
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to change lanes before doing so may
result in a crash and serious injury or death. Do not rely only on the blind
spot information system when changing lanes.
Always look in your mirrors, to either side of your vehicle, and behind you for
other vehicles before changing lanes.
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, BSI has limitations. Overreliance on BSI may result in a
collision. The system is for your convenience only.
