Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)

We should all drive defensively, but sometimes other people’s lack of attention can create a hazard. This feature scans the road ahead and can alert you to potential collisions with vehicles or pedestrians detected in your path. If an impact becomes imminent and you don’t take corrective action, the brakes can apply automatically. But don’t worry – they’ll only activate if they’re needed.

BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert

How many times have you tensed up during an attempted lane change on a busy freeway? With BLIS, you won’t have to bother your passenger with “Can I get over?” This feature can help detect and alert you to vehicles in your blind spots, while Cross-Traffic Alert can detect traffic behind you when you’re slowly backing out of a parking spot or driveway.

Available Active Park Assist 2.0 with Reverse Parking Aid and Front Parking Aid

Parking made easy – even in tight parallel or reverse perpendicular spots. When engaged, it can help locate a potential spot.

Available Active Park Assist 2.0 also offers Park Out Assist with side-sensing capability so you can confidently navigate out of a parking spot when someone’s parked too close to you.

Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go

Available Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go sensor detects traffic slowing ahead, it can bring your vehicle to a complete stop, and you can accelerate back up to the preset speed if the vehicle in front moves forward.

Rear View Camera

Between glancing in the rearview mirror and craning your neck, backing up requires a little multitasking. So we help make it easier. The Rear View Camera may not be an extra set of eyes, but it does provide a great view of what’s behind your vehicle. Just make sure to keep the camera lens free of debris (like snow or dust) and you can navigate Reverse with more confidence.

Available Evasive Steering Assist

It happens. Traffic is rolling along smoothly when suddenly there’s a slow or stopped vehicle in your path. This available feature can help make it easier to potentially avoid a collision. It doesn’t steer for you, but it can provide extra steering support if the system’s warning goes off and you need to maneuver around the vehicle ahead.

Lane-Keeping System (Includes Lane-Keeping Assist, Lane-Keeping Alert and Driver Alert)

It happens. Maybe you’re caught up listening to your favorite podcast or need your morning latte, but you’ve wandered a little too close to the edge of your lane. Luckily, the Lane-Keeping System can help you stay in your lane, even during a moment of distraction. This smart feature scans your vehicle’s position between the lines in the road ahead and can alert you if you’re starting to edge out of your lane. Having trouble staying on track? After you’ve drifted a few times, you’ll see coffee cup icon, letting you know it’s time to take a break.

It can also point you to the nearest gas stations or coffee shops.

Auto High-Beam Headlamps

We’ve all been there. Heading into a pitch-black stretch of road and having to turn on the high beams – then forgetting to turn them off again as oncoming traffic approaches. Now, unlit roads, dark peripheries and other low-visibility situations don’t have to catch you off guard. Auto High-Beam Headlamps can sense poor lighting conditions and switch on to light your path ahead. They can even sense oncoming headlights and dim automatically so you don’t have to worry about blinding other drivers. So you can keep your focus – and both hands on the wheel.

Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control

Available Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control adds Speed Sign Recognition to go along with features like Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering. Once you’ve activated the feature and set your preferred speed, the system can detect and automatically adjust to speed limit signs along your route. This smart system can also bring the vehicle to a stop, when needed, if traffic ahead has stopped or slowed. As soon as things clear, you’ll resume your set speed. And that’s not the only way it enhances your cruise control experience. The Lane Centering feature even scans lane markings to help you keep your vehicle centered between the lines.
