WHAT IS EVASIVE STEERING ASSIST
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching a road user, evasive steering assist helps you steer around the road user.
After you turn the steering wheel in an attempt to avoid a crash with the road user, the system applies additional steering torque to help you steer around the road user. After you pass the road user, the system applies steering torque when you turn the steering wheel to steer back into the lane. The system deactivates after you fully pass the road user.
Note: Road users are defined as pedestrians or bicyclists in your vehicle's path or another stationary vehicle in the same lane or a vehicle traveling in the same lane in the same direction as you. See Pre-Collision Assist Precautions.
EVASIVE STEERING ASSIST LIMITATIONS
Evasive steering assist only activates when all the following occur:
- Automatic emergency braking and evasive steering assist are on.
- The system detects a road user ahead and starts to apply the brakes.
- You significantly turn the steering wheel to steer around a road user.
Note: Evasive steering assist does not automatically steer around a road user. If you do not turn the steering wheel, evasive steering assist does not activate.
Note: Evasive steering assist does not activate if the distance to the road user ahead is too small and the system cannot avoid a crash.

PRE-COLLISION ASSIST – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What should I do if the windshield in front of the camera is dirty or obstructed?
- Clean the outside of the windshield in front of the camera.
What if the windshield in front of the camera is clean, but the message remains in the instrument cluster display?
- Wait a short time. It could take several minutes for the camera to detect that there is no obstruction.
What should I do if the surface of the radar in the grille is dirty or obstructed?
- Clean the grille surface in front of the radar or remove the object causing the obstruction.
What if the surface of the radar in the grille is clean, but the message remains in the instrument cluster display?
- Wait a short time. It could take several minutes for the radar to detect that there is no obstruction.
Can weather or road conditions interfere with the radar signals?
- Yes, weather such as heavy rain, spray or fog as well as water, snow or ice on the surface of the road can interfere with the radar signals. In these situations, the system temporarily disables this feature. Pre-collision assist reactivates a short time after the weather conditions improve.
What if the radar is out of alignment due to a front end impact?
- Have your vehicle serviced to have the radar checked for proper coverage and operation.
