Rear View Camera*
Provides a video image
of the area behind the
vehicle in either the
rearview mirror or the
display in the center of
the instrument panel.
The image automatically
appears when the vehicle
is in R (Reverse) and
uses green, yellow and
red guides to alert you of
your proximity to objects.
Integrated Blind Spot Mirrors
Designed to assist you
by increasing the visibility
along the side of
your vehicle.
• The integrated convex
mirror is built into the
upper outboard corner
of the exterior mirrors.
• As an approaching
vehicle moves toward
you, you will see its
reflection first in the
main mirror, and then
in the blind spot mirror.
Forward and Reverse Sensing Systems*
Sounds an audible
warning tone if there is an
obstacle near the vehicle’s
front or rear bumpers.
• As the vehicle
moves closer to the
obstacle, the rate
of the warning
tone increases
in frequency.
• The front sensors automatically activate when the
vehicle is in D (Drive) and will detect objects up to
27 inches (70 centimeters) away.
• The reverse sensors are activated automatically when
the vehicle is in R (Reverse), and will detect objects up to
6 feet (2 meters) away.

the vehicle is moving. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for
safety information, more details and limitations.
