      Helpful Alerts to Surprises on the Road.

      Surprises can be fun, but not while you’re on the road.10   Unexpected events occur that even the best of drivers can’t anticipate. That’s where driver-assist technologies can  help you, because they can detect those not-so-fun surprises and alert you to respond accordingly. Some systems, when activated, can even assist you by adapting to situations automatically.

      Smart Ways to Help Make Driving Easy.

      Driver-assist technologies are designed to help enhance driving confidence. And some have smart features that can help make your life on the road easy. Take the available Enhanced Active Park Assist,10  for example, which can smooth out the maneuvers of parallel or reverse perpendicular parking. In our complex world, easy is always better.

      BLIS® With Cross-Traffic Alert

      Available BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert can detect a vehicle traveling in your blind spot and alert you with an indicator light in the sideview mirror.10  The Cross-Traffic Alert feature scans for traffic behind your vehicle when you’re slowly backing out of a parking spot or your driveway. If it detects a vehicle approaching from the side, it provides an audible warning, a visual display in either sideview mirror and a signal in the message center.

      Pre-Collision Assist With Automatic Emergency Braking

      This innovative available feature can detect a potential collision with pedestrians and vehicles in front of yours.10  It can help reduce the severity of (and in some cases can eliminate) a frontal collision. If the system detects a potential collision, a warning flashes on the windshield and an alert sounds.* If your response is not sufficient, the brakes will precharge and increase brake-assist sensitivity to provide full responsiveness when you do brake. If you don’t take corrective action and a collision is imminent, brakes can apply automatically.

       

      *Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking can detect pedestrians, but not in all conditions and does not replace safe driving. See owner’s manual for system limitations.

      Available on select vehicles.

      Lane-Keeping System

      The available Lane-Keeping System can alert you to unintentional lane drifting. The system has two modes: Lane-Keeping Alert warns you through a series of steering wheel vibrations that simulate driving over a rumble strip. Lane-Keeping Assist applies steering torque to direct you back to the center of the lane.* You can set the system to activate either one of the modes, or both.10 

       

      *Lane-Keeping Assist does not control steering.

      Enhanced Active Park Assist

      Available Enhanced Active Park Assist can virtually parallel or reverse perpendicularly park your vehicle. While you’re driving slowly near parking spots, activate this feature and it scans for an available space.

With a few actions on your part – shifting, accelerating and braking – your vehicle can smoothly parallel park or back into a perpendicular parking space.10
