Blind Spot Warning/Lane Change Warning, which warns drivers when they try to change lanes if there is a car in the blind spot or an overtaking vehicle.

Forward Collision Warning, which alerts and then warns drivers if they fail to brake when a vehicle in their path is stopped or traveling slower.

Electronic Emergency Brake Lights, which notifies drivers when a vehicle ahead that they can’t see is braking hard for some reason.

Intersection Movement Assist, which warns the driver when it is not safe to enter an intersection—for example, when something is blocking a driver’s view of opposing traffic.

Do Not Pass Warning, which warns drivers if they attempt to change lanes and pass when there is a vehicle in the opposing lane within the passing zone.

Control Loss Warning, which warns the driver when another nearby vehicle has lost control.
