Dynamic Road Sign Display

Not only can the available Dynamic Road Sign Display
help to inform you about
posted communications such
as traffic signs, recognized
speed limits, overtaking restrictions, and warning signs, but it also features alerts
including a speed warning, restricted traffic zone warning, and more—all to help keep you focused on the road ahead.*

Blind Spot Monitor

Available Active Blind Spot Monitor is a feature that can sense what you might miss. If you attempt to change lanes, Active Blind
Spot Monitor can help alert you to other cars that may be in your blind spot. The Active Blind Spot Monitor can also counter-steer within the limits of available Lane Assist to help keep you in your lane if you attempt to change lanes when a vehicle is in your blind spot.*

 

Rear Traffic Alert

Available Rear Traffic Alert
comes in handy when you’re backing up. It has sensors that can alert you to detected
vehicles crossing in your path when in reverse, and can even help brake the vehicle if
needed.*

Light Assist

Available High Beam Control (Light Assist) can help to provide optimum visibility on dark roads by automatically turning on your high beams at speeds above 37 MPH. A camera mounted at the base of the rearview mirror turns your high beams on when conditions warrant it. It then turns them off again depending on the position of vehicles driving ahead of you or on-coming vehicles, the vehicle speed and other environmental and traffic conditions.*

Park Distance Control with Maneuver Braking

Available Park Distance Control has sensors that can help you back out of or drive into a parking spot. Audible signals and the optical parking system on the display indicate how much space
you have behind and, on some vehicles, in front of the vehicle when parking. If you get too close to a detected object, the system beeps as a warning. Maneuver Braking (included with Park Distance Control) can apply emergency braking force
automatically to help mitigate and in best case prevent collisions with detected stationary obstacles while you maneuver
the vehicle in reverse gear.*

Lane Assist

When moving above 37 MPH,
the available Lane Keeping
System (Lane Assist) can sense
if you start to drift into another lane without using the turn
signal. Within the limits of the system, Lane Assist can help
keep you in the current lane
when lane markings are detected.*

Front Assist

The available Forward Collision Warning (included in Front Assist)
 system can help monitor traffic and can alert you acoustically and
 visually to a potential rear-end collision with the vehicle moving
 ahead. If it senses that a collision is imminent, Autonomous
 Emergency Braking (included in Front Assist) can support the driver
 with increased brake pressure or, if the driver does not react at all,
 it can apply the brakes automatically. The Pedestrian Monitoring
 (included in Front Assist) feature can warn of pedestrians crossing
 in front of the vehicle and, under certain circumstances, can brake automatically to help mitigate the outcome of a collision with a
 pedestrian if the driver doesn’t respond to the warnings.*
 

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Available Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) helps the vehicle maintain a preset speed and distance from the car in front
of you. When activated, if the
car in front of you speeds up or slows down, the sensors can detect the change and your car follows suit up to the preset
speed and/or preset distance.*

Active Blind Spot Monitor

Available Active Blind Spot
Monitor is a feature that can
sense what you might miss. If
you attempt to change lanes,
Active Blind Spot Monitor can
help alert you to other cars
that may be in your blind spot.

the limits of Lane Assist to help
keep you in your lane if you
attempt to change lanes when
a vehicle is in your blind spot.*

Rear Traffic Alert

On-Road Mode

In good conditions on a paved road, stay in On-Road Mode, and choose from four different settings combining performance and comfort.

SAFETY 

A LOT GOES IN BEFORE YOU DO.

Safety is a core value to us. And while we
can’t predict everything you might
encounter, we can and do spend long hours
trying to help you prepare for it.
 

Rear View Camera System
Stay focused.

Benefit from the view of a wide lens when you want it. It can help you see obstacles when backing up, a feature so helpful you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.

Safety Cage
We’re rigid about safety.

Front and rear crumple zones help absorb crash energy, while a rigid safety cage helps distribute forces away from the driver and passengers.

Intelligent Crash Response
System (ICRS)*
Intelligent by design.

In the event of a collision that deploys the airbags*, the ICRS can turn off the fuel pump, unlock the doors, and activate the hazard lights.* It helps react if you might not be able to.

Automatic Post-Collision Braking System
We think ahead.

Not every collision brings a car to stop. That’s why our vehicles include the Automatic
Post-Collision Braking System. It can also help slow the vehicle down after a collision, helping reduce the chance of any additional impacts.*

Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)
Safety. Engineered from the
ground up.

Monitoring and maintaining proper air pressure in your tires helps with efficiency and safety. The TPMS helps alert you to a loss of tire pressure so you know when to add air.

Six Stability-Enhancing Systems
Equipped for peace of mind.

From Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD), which helps maintain appropriate stopping power during a hard-braking situation, to Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which can adjust engine throttle and apply corrective forces to the wheels that need them most, your vehicle is equipped with a total of six stability-enhancing
systems.
