You will need your five-digit factory code located on your owner's wallet card in the glove box. Refer to the Locks chapter in your Owner's Manual for more information. BLIS uses sensors to help you determine if a vehicle may be in your blind spot zone. The cross traffic alert feature alerts you if a car is coming toward you while you back out of a parking space. BLIS and cross traffic alert display a yellow indicator light in your exterior mirrors. Cross traffic alert 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. This system provides a video image of the area behind the vehicle. The image automatically appears in the touchscreen when the vehicle is in reverse (R) and uses green, yellow and red guides to alert you of your proximity to objects. For non-touchscreen vehicles, the image appears in the 4.2-inch display. This system can notify you to stay in your lane through the steering system and the information display when the front view camera detects an unintentional drifting out of your lane is likely to happen. Select system settings as desired by choosing one of three notification modes from your information display: Alert:  Provides a steering wheel vibration. Aid:  Provides an assistance steering torque input toward the lane center. Alert + Aid:  Provides an assistance steering torque input toward the lane center. If the vehicle continues drifting out of the lane, a steering wheel vibration is also provided.  Switch the feature on and off by pressing the control on the headlamp or direction indicator lever. NOTE: Driving aids do not replace the need to watch where the vehicle is moving and brake where necessary. Make sure you read your Owner's Manual for safety information, details and limitations before using these systems. This system can alert the driver of certain collision risks. Sensors detect if vehicles ahead of you, which are moving in the same direction, may be a collision risk. The system alerts you with an audible tone and red warning light that appears above the dash. If the risk of collision increases, the system increases brake support to help reduce collision speed. SOS POST-CRASH ALERT SYSTEM™ DRIVER ALERT* REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM* 16 ++ + This system monitors your driving behavior and determines when the driver's alertness is reduced or insufficient. When the system determines that driving ability is at risk, a tone sounds and a message appears in the information display. If you do not make a correction, then warnings continue to alert the driver. Press OK on the steering wheel to clear the warning. 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. *if equipped Gives you the ability to manually change gears, if you'd like.

FUEL-EFFICIENT TRANSMISSION Your vehicle has been designed to improve fuel economy by reducing fuel usage while coasting or decelerating. You may perceive this as a light to medium braking sensation when removing your foot from the accelerator pedal. Replaces your traditional garage door remote with a three-button transmitter integrated into the driver's sun visor. You can program the transmitter to use with entry gate operators, security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting. *if equipped 17 UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER*
