BLIND SPOT MONITORING
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located inside the
rear bumper fascia, to detect Highway licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motor-
cycles etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system warning light, located in the outside mirrors, will
illuminate if a vehicle moves into a blind spot zone.
The BSM system can also be configured to sound an audible (chime) alert and mute the
radio to notify you of objects that have entered the detection zones.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

If the radio display screen appears foggy, clean the camera lens located on the rear of the
vehicle above the rear license plate.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up; even when using the ParkView®Rear
Back-Up Camera. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before backing up.

WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows together.
If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any

During low-speed driving conditions in first gear, vehicle momentum changes may feel
exaggerated in response to changes in accelerator pedal position. This behavior is normal
and is similar to vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.

Shifting The Transmission
The transmission shift lever position (PRND) is displayed both on the shift lever and in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).

the shift lever from PARK or NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position.
Manual shifts can also be made using the AutoStick®shift control.
This transmission is programmed to prevent shifting from Reverse to Drive or Drive to
Reverse, if vehicle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h). This safety feature helps protect your
transmission from damage.
NOTE:
•Whenstoppedonanincline,itisrecommendedthatyoualwaysholdthevehiclein
place using the brakes. On steep inclines, Hill Start Assist (HSA) will temporarily hold
the car in position when the brake pedal is released. If the accelerator pedal is not
applied after a short time, the car will roll back. Either reapply the brake (to hold the
vehicle) or press the accelerator to climb the hill.
•Duringacceleration,gearchangeswillfeelsmoothcomparedtoavehiclewitha

power loss during up-shifts.

Instrument Cluster Messages
Messages will be displayed in the instrument cluster (if equipped with an EVIC/DID) to
alert the driver when certain conditions occur. These messages are described below.
MESSAGEDESCRIPTION
GEAR NOT AVAILABLEIn AutoStick®mode, the gear selected bythe driver is not available due to a fault con-dition. See your authorized dealer for diag-nosis and service.
SHIFT NOT ALLOWED The gear position requested by the driver iscurrently blocked. This occurs if NEUTRALis requested while moving, if REVERSE isrequested while moving (at 6 mph[10 km/h] or faster), if DRIVE is requestedwhile moving backwards (at 6 mph[10 km/h] or faster), or if 3rd gear or higheris requested at a stop. Make sure the ve-hicle is stopped before engaging DRIVE orREVERSE.
SHIFT TO NEUTRAL THEN D or R The transmission has shifted itself intoNEUTRAL (due to a fault condition, or over-heat due to excessive idling when stoppedin DRIVE with the brakes released), but theshift lever remains in gear. Shift into NEU-TRAL and then back into gear for continueddriving. If the transmission will not reen-gage, see your authorized dealer.
AUTOSTICK NOT AVAILABLE AutoStick®mode is unavailable due to ashift lever fault. See your authorized dealerfor diagnosis and service.
AUTOMATIC MODE NOT AVAILABLE The transmission is unable to shift itselfautomatically, due to a fault condition. Usethe AutoStick®mode to shift the transmis-sion manually. See your authorized dealerfor diagnosis and service.
REDUCE GEAR CHANGES The transmission pump is overheating. InAutoStick®mode, try to drive in one spe-cific gear as much as possible, avoidingfrequent gear changes. In DRIVE, the trans-mission will automatically modify its shiftschedule to reduce the number of shifts.
TRANS. GETTING HOT PRESS BRAKE The transmission driving clutch is overheat-ing, usually due to repeated launches instop-and-go traffic. Pull over and allow thetransmission to cool in NEUTRAL until“TRANS. COOL READY TO DRIVE” is dis-played.
