Exterior Lamp Controls
There are four positions:

deactivates the AUTO mode. Turn to
O
again to reactivate the AUTO mode.
In Canada, the headlamps will automatically
reactivate when the vehicle is shifted out of
P (Park).
AUTO : Sets the exterior lamps to automatic
mode. AUTO mode turns the exterior lamps
on and off depending on how much light is
available outside the vehicle.
To override AUTO mode, turn the control
to
O. To reset to AUTO mode, turn the control to
Oand then release back to AUTO.
Automatic mode also resets when the
vehicle is turned off and then back on again
if the control is left in the AUTO position.
;: Turns on the parking lamps including
all lamps, except the headlamps.
The parking lamp indicator light comes on
and stays on when the parking lamps are on
with the engine off and the ignition in ACC/
ACCESSORY.
5: Turns on the headlamps together with
the parking lamps and instrument panel
lights.
Exterior Lamps Off Reminder

lamp control is left on in either the
headlamp or parking lamp position and the
driver door is opened with the ignition off.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam

Lighting 107
This indicator light turns on in the
instrument cluster when the high-beam
headlamps are on.
Flash-to-Pass
To use the flash-to-pass feature, briefly pull
the turn signal lever toward you. The
high-beam indicator flashes to indicate to
the other driver that you intend to pass.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
DRL can make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day. DRL are
required on all vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system makes the dedicated lamps
come on when the following conditions
are met:
.The ignition is on.
.The exterior lamp control is in the AUTO.
.The light sensor determines it is daytime.When DRL are on, only the front lamps will
be on. The parking lamps, taillamps,
instrument panel lights, or other exterior
lamps will not be on when the DRL are
being used.
When it is dark enough outside, the front
lamps dim to parking lamps and the normal
low-beam headlamps turn on.
The regular headlamp system should be
turned on when needed.
To turn off the DRL, turn the exterior lamp
control to
O. The DRL will stay off until the
control is toggled again.
Automatic Headlamp System
When the exterior lamp control is set to
AUTO and it is dark enough outside, the
headlamps and parking lamps come on
automatically.
There is a light sensor on top of the
instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor,
otherwise the headlamps will come on when
they are not needed.
The system may also turn on the headlamps
and parking lamps when driving through a
parking garage or tunnel.
If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system comes on
immediately. If it is light outside when the
vehicle leaves the garage, there is a slight
delay before the automatic headlamp
system changes to the DRL. During that
delay, the instrument cluster may not be as
bright as usual. Make sure the instrument
panel brightness control is in the full bright
position. See Instrument Panel Illumination
Control 0109.

224 Driving and Operating
The instrument cluster may have a Park
Assist display with bars that show“distance
to object” and object location information
for RPA. As the object gets closer, more bars
light up and the bars change color from
yellow to amber to red.
When an object is first detected in the rear,
one beep will be heard from the rear. When
an object is very close (<0.6 m (2 ft) in the
vehicle rear), five beeps will sound from
the rear.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
If equipped, RCTA displays a red warning
triangle with a left or right pointing arrow
on the RVC screen to warn of traffic coming
from the left or right. This system detects
objects coming from up to 20 m (65 ft) from
the left or right side of the vehicle. When an object is detected, three beeps sound
from the left or right, depending on the
direction of the detected vehicle.
Turning the Features On or Off
To turn off the guidance lines:
1. On the infotainment system, touch SETTINGS, or turn the MENU knob to
highlight Settings and press MENU.
2. Select Rear Camera.
3. Select Guidance Lines and then select Off or On.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
The RVC system may not work properly or
display a clear image if:
.It is dark.
.The sun or the beam of headlamps is
shining directly into the camera lens.
.Ice, snow, mud, or anything else builds
up on the camera lens. Clean the lens,
rinse it with water, and wipe it with a
soft cloth.
.The back of the vehicle is in a crash. The
position and mounting angle of the
camera can change or the camera can be affected. Be sure to have the camera and
its position and mounting angle checked
at your dealer.
Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
If equipped, the SBZA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists drivers with
avoiding crashes that occur with moving
vehicles in the side blind zone (or spot)
areas. The SBZA warning display will light
up in the corresponding outside side mirror
and will flash if the turn signal is on.
{Warning
SBZA does not alert the driver to vehicles
rapidly approaching outside of the side
blind zones, pedestrians, bicyclists,
or animals. It may not provide alerts
when changing lanes under all driving
conditions. Failure to use proper care
when changing lanes may result in injury,
death, or vehicle damage. Before making
a lane change, always check mirrors,
glance over your shoulder, and use the
turn signals.
