If you need to slow down, the system releases the accelerator pedal and applies pressure to the brakes to help you avoid a collision.’ In the more expensive High Tech trim version, there are systems that allow you to avoid collisions using Back-Up Collision Intervention (BCI), Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW), and Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) systems.
