FUNCTION FUNCTION
BLIS
®
(BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM) WITH
CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT*
BLIS helps determine if a vehicle may
be in your blind spot zone. Cross trac
alert warns you if a car is coming from
the sides when your vehicle is in reverse
(R). Both features display a yellow
indicator light in your exterior mirrors.
Cross trac alert also sounds an
audible alarm and displays messages
to warn you from which direction
vehicles are approaching. Refer to the
Driving Aids chapter in your Owner’s
Manual for more information.
Note: Driving aids do not replace the
need to watch where the vehicle is
moving and brake when necessary.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for safety
information, more details and limitations.
LANE KEEPING SYSTEM*
The system detects unintentional
driing toward the outside of the lane
and alerts or aids the driver to stay in
the lane through the steering system
and instrument cluster display. The
system automatically detects and
tracks the road lane markings using
a camera mounted behind the
interior mirror.
See the Driving Aids section in your
Owner’s Manual for details.
COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM*
This system is designed to alert the
driver of certain collision risks. Radar
sensors detect if vehicles ahead of you,
moving in the same direction, may be a
collision risk. The system alerts you with
an audible tone and a red warning light
appears above the instrument panel.
If the risk of collision increases, the
system then increases brake support to
help reduce collision speed.
REAR VIEW CAMERA
This system provides a video image
of the area behind the vehicle. The
display automatically appears in the
touchscreen when the vehicle is in
reverse (R) and uses lines to alert you
of your vehicle’s path and proximity to
objects behind you.
For non-touchscreen vehicles, the
image appears in the 4.2 inch center
stack display.
ACTIVE PARK ASSIST*
The active park assist system can
detect an available parallel parking
space and automatically steer the
vehicle into that space (hands-free).
The system instructs the driver using
visual, audible or a combination of
both visual and audible instructions
with regard to braking, accelerating
and shiing gears in order to safely
park the vehicle. To initiate active
park assist, press the AUTO |P|
button located on the instrument
panel. To stop the parking procedure,
grab the steering wheel or press
the control again. For complete
information, refer to the Parking Aids
chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
REAR SENSING SYSTEM*
This system sounds a warning
tone if there is an obstacle near
the vehicle’s rear bumper when
the vehicle is in reverse (R) and is
traveling less than 3 mph (5 km/h).
The warning tone increases in
frequency as the object gets closer.
Note: Visibility aids do not replace
the need to watch where the vehicle
is moving. Refer to your Owner’s
Manual for safety information,
more details and limitations.
