TECHNOLOGY
Pre-Collision Assist
*
The Pre-Collision Assist system uses a radar sensor and a camera
sensor to scan the road ahead to detect stationary vehicles, vehicles
moving in the same direction as yours and upright pedestrians in
your driving path. The system provides an audible and visual alert,
brake support and active braking in order to help the driver reduce
impact damage or avoid a crash completely. The system provides
support at speeds above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h) and
support for pedestrians at speeds up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
For specific details on using the system, adjusting the system alert
sensitivity and familiarizing yourself with the system limitations
and warnings, please refer to the Pre-Collision Assist chapter in your
Owner's Manual.
NOTE: You are responsible for controlling your vehicle at all times.
The system does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with
due care and attention. Failure to take care may result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, serious personal injury or death.
BLIS
®
(Blind Spot Information System)
and Cross Trac Alert
*
BLIS uses radar sensors to help you determine if a vehicle may be
in your blind spot zone. Cross trac alert warns you of vehicles
approaching from the sides when the transmission is in reverse (R).
Both systems turn on an indicator light in the exterior mirror on the
side of the vehicle from which the approaching vehicle is coming.
Cross trac alert also sounds tones and displays messages to warn
you from which direction vehicles are approaching.
NOTE: Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where the
vehicle is moving.
Refer to the Driving Aids chapter in your Owner’s Manual for
more information.
Lane Keeping System
*
When you switch the system on and the system
detects an unintentional dri out of your lane is likely
to occur, the system notifies or assists you to stay in
your lane through the steering system and information
display. Depending on the feature operation mode
you select, the system provides a warning by vibrating the steering
wheel (Alert Mode) or a steering assistance (Aid Mode) by gently
counter steering your vehicle back into the lane. The system can
also provide both warning (vibrating the steering wheel) and
steering assistance (gently counter steering your vehicle back into
the lane) while Aid+Alert mode is selected.
You can switch the system on or o by pressing the button on the
Direction Indicator.
Refer to the Driving Aids chapter of your Owner's Manual for system
operation and limitations.
Automatic High Beam Control*
The system turns on high beams if it is dark enough and no other
trac is present. If it detects an approaching vehicle’s headlamps or
tail lamps, or street lighting ahead, the system turns o high beams
before they can distract other road users. Low beams remain on.
