•The transmission is in (R.
• Your vehicle is moving at 3 mph (5 km/h) or 
lower.
When a vehicle is detected  approaching from a rear corner, Cross Traffic Monitor 
alerts you with a buzzer  and a displayed warning.
The system will not detect a vehicle that approaches from directly behind your 
vehicle, nor will it provide alerts about  a detected vehicle when it moves directly 
behind your vehicle.
The system does not provide alerts for a  vehicle that is moving away from your 
vehicle, and it may alert for pedestrians, bicycles, or stationary objects.
■How the System Works1 Cross Traffic Monitor*
Cross Traffic Monitor may not detect or may delay 
alerting an approaching vehicle, or  may alert without 
an approaching vehicle under the following 
conditions:
•An obstacle, such as a nother vehicle and a wall, 
near your vehicle’s rear  bumper, is blocking the 
radar sensor’s scope.
•Your vehicle is moving at the speed of about 3 mph 
(5 km/h) or higher.
•A vehicle is approaching at the speed other than 
between about 6 mph (10 km/h) and 16 mph (25 
km/h).
•The system picks up external interference such as 
other radar sensors from an other vehicle or strong 
radio wave transmitted fr om a facility nearby.
•Either corner of the rear bumper is covered with 
snow, ice, mud or dirt.
•When there is bad weather.
•Your vehicle is on an incline.
•Your vehicle is tilted due to a heavy load in the rear.•Your vehicle is reversing towards a wall, a pole, a 
vehicle, and so on.
•The rear bumper or the sensors have been 
improperly repaired or the rear bumper has been 
deformed. Have your vehi cle checked by a dealer.

The rear camera view is restricted. You cannot see 
the corner ends of the bum per or what is underneath

high temperatures) may also restrict the rear view. Do 
not rely on the rearview display which does not give

Fuel Economy and CO2 Emissions
Improving Fuel Economy and Reducing CO2 
Emissions
Achieving fuel economy and reducing CO2 emissions is dependent on several 
factors, including driving conditions, load  weight, idling time, driving habits, and 
vehicle condition. Depending on these and other factors, you may not achieve the 
rated fuel economy of this vehicle.
You can optimize your fuel economy with proper maintenance of your vehicle. 
Always maintain your vehicle in accord ance with the messages displayed on the 
multi-information display.
• Use the recommended viscosity engine oil.
2 Recommended Engine Oil P. 477
•Maintain the specified tire pressure.
• Do not load the vehicle with excess cargo.
• Keep your vehicle clean. A buildup of snow or mud on your vehicle’s underside 
adds weight and increases wind resistance.
■Maintenance and Fuel Economy
1Improving Fuel Economy and Reducing CO2 Emissions
Direct calculation is  the recommended method to 
determine actual fuel consumed while driving.
In Canada, posted fuel  economy numbers are 
established following a simulated test. For more 
information on how this test  is performed, please visit
