Safety or driver assistance features are not a 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.
FORWARD COLLISION ALERT – The Vehicle Ahead indicator is green when a vehicle that you're following is detected ahead and is amber when you're following a vehicle ahead much too closely. When approaching a detected vehicle directly ahead too rapidly, a red alert flashes on the windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or rapid beeps sound (if selected).
FOLLOWING DISTANCE INDICATOR♦ – The following distance to a vehicle detected ahead is indicated in seconds under the Info menu on the Driver Information Center. If no vehicle is detected ahead, dashes are displayed.
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING – At speeds below 50 mph, the system works with Forward Collision Alert to help you avoid or reduce the severity of a front-end collision with a vehicle you're following. Camera technology is used to automatically provide hard emergency braking or enhance the driver's hard braking.
LANE CHANGE ALERT WITH SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT – While driving, the system displays a symbol on the left- or right-side mirror when a moving vehicle is detected rapidly approaching or is in that side blind zone area. The symbol flashes if a turn signal is activated when a vehicle has been detected on the same side.
LANE KEEP ASSIST WITH LANE DEPARTURE WARNING♦ – The 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 unintentionally approaches a detected lane marking, the system may assist by gently turning the steering wheel to help prevent lane departure and displays an amber
. If active driver steering is not detected, the amber
may flash and the Safety Alert Seat may pulse or beeps may sound (if selected) on the side of the departure direction as the lane marking is crossed. The system does not continuously steer the vehicle; the driver needs to steer and be in complete control of the vehicle. Alerts do not occur when using the turn signal in the lane departure direction or intentional lane departure is detected.
FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKING – During daytime driving below 50 mph, the system can detect pedestrians directly ahead and displays an amber indicator. When approaching a detected pedestrian too quickly, a red alert flashes on the windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or rapid beeps sound (if selected). The system may also automatically provide hard emergency braking or enhance the driver's hard braking. Nighttime and low-visibility performance are limited.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner's Manual.
REAR PEDESTRIAN ALERT♦ – During daytime driving with the vehicle in Reverse, the system can detect pedestrians directly behind the vehicle and will display an amber indicator on the infotainment screen. When a pedestrian is detected close to the vehicle, the indicator flashes red and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or rapid beeps sound (if selected). Nighttime and low-visibility performance are limited.
REVERSE AUTOMATIC BRAKING♦ – In detected, potentially imminent collision situations with some objects behind your vehicle while in Reverse, the system can provide alerts and hard emergency braking, if you have not already done so, to help reduce the severity or help avoid collisions at very low speeds.
FRONT♦ AND REAR PARK ASSIST – During low-speed parking maneuvers, the system provides "distance to closest object" information on the Driver Information Center and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or a beep sounds (if selected). When an object is very close, the Safety Alert Seat pulses or 5 beeps sound (if selected).
REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT – When in Reverse, the system warns of detected cross-traffic approaching in either direction by displaying a red triangle with directional arrow alert on the infotainment screen and the left or right side of the Safety Alert Seat pulses or beeps sound (if selected).
AUTOMATIC PARKING ASSIST WITH BRAKING♦ – The Automatic Parking Assist with Braking system steers the vehicle at idle speed and applies the brakes to help you park the vehicle while you follow commands and control the gear selection.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner's Manual.
HD REAR VISION CAMERA – When the vehicle is in Reverse below 8 mph, a high-resolution view of the area directly behind the vehicle displays on the infotainment screen.
HD SURROUND VISION♦ – The system uses multiple cameras to display a high-resolution image of the area around your vehicle along with front- and rear-camera views on the infotainment screen. The system operates when the vehicle is in Reverse or Drive while moving less than 8 mph. Camera view buttons are at the bottom of the screen.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner's Manual.
REAR CAMERA MIRROR♦ – The Rear Camera Mirror provides a wider, less obstructed field of view than a traditional mirror to assist when driving, changing lanes and checking traffic conditions.
See Keys, Doors and Windows in your Owner's Manual.
The traction control system limits wheelspin in difficult driving conditions. The system turns on automatically every time the vehicle is started. Turn off traction control if the vehicle is stuck and rocking the vehicle is required.
