DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
♦
Forward/Reverse Automatic Braking – e brakes may be
applied automatically in potential collision situations to help
reduce damage or help avoid collisions with vehicles directly ahead
or behind, and with some objects behind.
To set Forward Automatic Braking to Alert and Brake, Alert, or
O, go to Seings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems >
Auto Collision Preparation.
To set Reverse Automatic Braking to o, press the Parking
Assist buon on the le side of the infotainment screen.
Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert – While driving,
the system displays a warning symbol on the le or right
side mirror when a vehicle is detected in that side blind zone area
or rapidly approaching that area. e warning symbol ashes if a
turnsignal is activated when a vehicle has been detected on the
same side.
To turn the system on or o, go to Seings > Vehicle > Collision/
Detection Systems > Lane Change Alert.
Front Pedestrian Braking – During daytime driving, the system
detects pedestrians directly ahead up to a distance of approxi-
mately 131 . and displays an amber indicator. When approach-
ing a detected pedestrian too quickly, a red alert ashes on the
windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or beeps sound (if
selected). e system may prepare the brakes or automatically
brake the vehicle.
To set to Alert and Brake, Alert, or O, go to Seings > Vehicle >
Collision/Detection Systems > Front Pedestrian Detection.
Safety Alert Seat – e driver’s seat pulses — le side, right side
or simultaneously — to alert the driver of the direction of potential
hazards.
Audible alerts may be selected instead of Safety Alert Seat
pulsing alerts. To change the alert seings, go to Seings >
Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Alert Type.
Forward Collision Alert – e Vehicle Ahead indicator is green
when a vehicle is detected and is amber when following a vehicle
ahead much too closely. When approaching a vehicle directly ahead
too rapidly, a red alert ashes on the windshield and the Safety
Alert Seat pulses or beeps sound (if selected).
Press the Following Gap buon on the steering wheel to set
the alert timing to Far, Medium, or Near.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning – e system
may help avoid collisions due to unintentional lane departures. e
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 an amber .
If active driver steering is not detected, the amber may
ash 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. In order to use this system safely, the driver needs to
steer and be in complete control of the vehicle.
To turn the system on or o, press the Lane Keep Assist
buon on the steering wheel.
