Func tion 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 R (Reverse) and uses green, yellow and red guides to alert you of your proximity to objects. For non-touchscreen vehicles, the image will appear in the 4.2-inch display. Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) with Cross Traffic Alert (CTA)* Active Park Assist* The system detects an available parallel parking space and automatically steers the vehicle into the space, hands-free, while you control the accelerator, gearshift and brakes. The system visually and/or audibly instructs the driver to park the vehicle. To use, press the AUTO |P| button; the touchscreen displays a message and a corresponding graphic to indicate the system is searching for a parking space. Use the turn signal to indicate which side of the vehicle you want the system to search on. 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 detail and limitations. Driver Alert* This system monitors your driving behavior and determines when the driver's alertness is reduced or insufficient. When driving ability is determined to be at risk, a tone will sound and a message will appear in the information screen. If no correction is made, warnings will continue to alert the driver. Press OK on the steering wheel to clear the warning. Reverse sensing system* This system sounds a warning tone if there is an obstacle near the vehicle's rear bumper when the vehicle is in R (Reverse) and is traveling less than 3 mph (5 km/h). The warning tone will increase 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. BLIS uses sensors to help you determine if a vehicle may be in your blind spot zone. The CTA feature alerts you if a car is coming toward you while you back out of a parking space. BLIS and CTA display a yellow indicator light in your exterior mirrors and the CTA also sounds an audible alarm and displays messages to warn you which direction vehicles are approaching. Refer to the Driving Aids chapter in your Owner's Manual for more information. Securicode™ keyless entry system* Allows you to lock or unlock the doors using the touchpad. You will need your five-digit factory code located on your owner's wallet card in the glove box.
