WHAT IS ONE PEDAL DRIVE

One pedal drive allows you to accelerate
and brake using only the accelerator pedal.
Pressing the accelerator down accelerates
your vehicle, releasing pressure on the
accelerator with your foot still on the pedal
slows down your vehicle and releasing the
pedal completely allows your vehicle to
come to a complete stop.

ONE PEDAL DRIVE
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

This system is an extra

driving aid. It does not replace your
attention and judgment, or the need to
apply the brakes. This system does NOT
automatically brake your vehicle. If you
fail to press the brake pedal when
necessary, you may collide with another
vehicle.

Shifting into neutral (N) does not hold your
vehicle at a standstill.

Shifting into drive (D) or reverse (R) does
not cause the vehicle to move.

Note:

Always check the transmission

selection before accelerating.

ONE PEDAL DRIVE
LIMITATIONS

One pedal drive is unavailable when any
of the following occur:
•

Shifting into an incorrect transmission
position, such as park (P) when driving.

•

Using active park assist.

•

Using cruise control.

Releasing the accelerator pedal may not
bring your vehicle to a complete stop at
high speeds and steep grades.

WHAT IS THE LANE KEEPING
SYSTEM

The lane keeping system alerts you by
providing temporary steering assistance
or steering wheel vibration when it detects
an unintended lane departure.

HOW DOES THE LANE
KEEPING SYSTEM WORK

The lane keeping system uses a forward
looking camera mounted on the windshield
to monitor vehicle movement within the
travel lane.

When the camera detects a drift out of the
travel lane, the lane keeping system alerts
the driver by vibrating the steering wheel,
or aids the driver by providing a small
steering input to move the vehicle back
into the travel lane.

The driver can select one of three modes:

•

Alert (If Equipped)

•

Aid

•

Alert + Aid

WHAT IS PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST

Pre-collision assist detects and warns of
approaching hazards in the roadway. If
your vehicle is rapidly approaching another
stationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in the
same direction as yours, or a pedestrian
within your driving path, the system
provides multiple levels of assistance to
help avoid a collision.

HOW DOES PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST WORK

The system warns the driver of potential
hazards by providing three levels of
assistance.

E156130

If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
potential hazards the system provides the
following levels of functionality:

Alert.

2. Brake Support.

3. Automatic Emergency Braking.

E329466

Alert

: When active, a flashing

visual warning appears and an
audible warning tone sounds.

Brake Support

: The system is designed

to help reduce the impact speed by
preparing the brakes for rapid braking. The
system does not automatically apply the
brakes. If you press the brake pedal, the
system could apply additional braking up
to maximum braking force, even if you
lightly press the brake pedal.

Automatic Emergency Braking

Automatic emergency braking may
activate if the system determines that a
collision is imminent.

Note:

If you perceive pre-collision assist

alerts as being too frequent or disturbing,
then you can reduce the alert sensitivity,
although the manufacturer recommends
using the highest sensitivity setting where
possible. Setting lower sensitivity would
lead to fewer and later system warnings.

Each system has various levels of
detection capabilities. See

Pre-Collision

Assist Limitations

(page 259).
