DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS

Safety or driver assistance features are no substitute for the driver's
responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should
remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times.
Read your Owner's Manual for important feature limitations and information.
SAFETY ALERT SEAT – The driver's seat pulses (left, right, or both
sides) to alert you of the direction of potential hazards.
Audible alerts may be selected instead of seat pulsing alerts. To
change the alert settings, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/
Detection Systems > Alert Type.
LANE CHANGE ALERT WITH SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT
driving, the system displays a
mirror when a vehicle is detected in that side blind zone area or
rapidly approaching that area. The symbol flashes if a turn signal is
activated when a vehicle has been detected on the same side.
To turn the system on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/
Detection Systems > Lane Change Alert.
LANE KEEP ASSIST WITH LANE DEPARTURE WARNING
system may help you avoid collisions due to unintentional lane
departures. The Lane Keep Assist Indicator is green if the
system is available to assist. If the vehicle approaches a detected
lane marking without using a turn signal in that direction, the
system may assist by gently turning the steering wheel and display-
ing an amber .
If active driver steering is not detected, the amber
and the Safety Alert Seat may pulse or beeps may sound (if select-
ed) on the side of the departure direction as the lane marking is
crossed. The Lane Keep Assist system does not continuously steer
the vehicle; the driver needs to steer and be in complete control of
the vehicle.
