NEW SYSTEM FEATURES HILL DESCENT CONTROL (HDC) SYSTEM (if so equipped) The Hill Descent Control system is designed to reduce driver workload when going down steep hills. The Hill Descent Control system helps to control vehicle speed so the driver can concentrate on steering the vehicle. To activate the system:  The 4WD shift switch must be placed in the LOCK 1 position and the vehicle speed must be under 15 mph (25 km/h) on steeper hill grades.  The Hill Descent Control switch 2 must be on. For more information, refer to the "Starting and driving (section 5)" of your Owner's Manual. 1 2 BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) (if so equipped) The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system helps alert the driver when another vehicle moves into the vehicle's blind spot area.  An indicator light 1 near the outside mirror will illuminate if the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the detection zone.  The indicator light 2 will first illuminate in orange and then turn green before extinguishing. This indicates that the Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system is operational. For more information, refer to the "Starting and driving (section 5)" of your Owner's Manual. 1 2 REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA)* (if so equipped)  The RCTA system helps to alert the driver of an approaching vehicle when the driver is backing out of a parking space. The system operates when the shift lever is in R (REVERSE) position and the vehicle speed is less than approximately 5 mph (8 km/h).  The radar sensors detect an approaching vehicle from up to 66 ft. (20 m). The sensors are located on both sides near the rear bumper. The system gives visual and audible warnings if an approaching vehicle is detected.  The RCTA system can be turned on or off temporarily by pushing the Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert switch 1 . 2 1  The RCTA system can be turned on or off permanently through the Driver Aids menu 2 in the vehicle information display. *Not a substitute for proper backing procedures. May not detect all moving vehicles. Speed and other limitations apply. See your Owner's Manual for details. For more information, refer to the "Starting and driving (section 5)" of your Owner's Manual.
