ACTIVE PARK ASSIST*
The system detects an available parallel parking space and automatically steers the vehicle into that space
(hands-free) while you control the accelerator, gearshift and brakes. The system visually and audibly instructs
you to park the vehicle.
To start active park assist, press the button. Use the direction indicator to indicate on which side of
the vehicle you want the system to search. If the direction indicator is not on, the system automatically
searches on the vehicle’s passenger side.
To stop the parking procedure, grab the steering wheel or press the button again.
For complete information, refer to the Parking Aids chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
REAR VIEW CAMERA
The rear view camera system provides a video image of the area behind the vehicle. The image appears
when your vehicle is in reverse (R) and uses a variety of guidelines to alert you of your proximity to objects.
For more information about the Rear View Camera, please see the Parking Aids chapter of your
Owner’s Manual.
Note: If mud, water or debris obstructs the camera’s view, clean the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and
non-abrasive cleaner.

COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM*
This system is designed to alert you of certain collision risks. The system’s
sensor detects your vehicle’s rapid approach to other vehicles traveling in
the same direction as your vehicle. When your vehicle rapidly approaches
another vehicle, a red warning light flashes and a tone sounds.
The brake support system assists you in reducing any collision speed
by pre-charging the brakes. If the risk of collision continues to increase
after the audio-visual warning, the brake support prepares the brake
system for rapid braking. The system does not automatically activate the
brakes, but if the brake pedal is pressed even lightly, the brakes apply full
stopping power.
You can adjust the warning system’s sensitivity through your information
display. See the Driving Aids chapter in your Owner’s Manual for details.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL*
Adaptive Cruise Control adjusts your speed to maintain a set distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you in the same lane. You
can select from one of four gap settings by pressing the gap controls on
the steering wheel.
Refer to the Cruise Control chapter in your Owner’s Manual for safety
information, more details and limitations.
REAR PARKING AID
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.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM BLIS
®
AND CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT*
BLIS uses radar sensors to help you
determine if a vehicle may be in your blind
spot zone. Cross traffic alert warns you of
vehicles approaching from the sides when
the transmission is in reverse (R). Both
systems turn on an indicator light in the
exterior mirror on the side of the vehicle
from which the approaching vehicle is coming. Cross traffic alert also
sounds tones and displays messages to warn you from which direction
vehicles are approaching.
Note: Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where the
vehicle is moving.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for safety information, more details
and system limitations.
