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.

display screen, located on the center stack of the instrument panel.
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
window. This will minimize buffeting.

SIX-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
This vehicle may be equipped with a fuel efficient Dual-Dry Clutch, Six Speed Automatic

shifting.
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.
NOTE:

actions are needed.

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
traditional manual transmission. This is a benefit of the dual clutch design that avoids
power loss during up-shifts.
