Rear Parking Aid*
The rear sensors are active only when the
transmission is in reverse (R). As your
vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the
rate of the audible warning increases.
The system detects certain objects while
the transmission is in reverse (R) and the
vehicle is traveling at a speed of 3 mph
(5 km/h) or less.
The system can be switched off through
the information display. See the Parking
Aids chapter of your Owner’s Manual
for details.
Blind Spot
Information System (BLIS®) *
BLIS aids you in detecting vehicles that
may have entered the blind spot zone.
The detection area is on both sides of
the vehicle, extending rearward from
the exterior mirrors to approximately
13 feet (4 meters) beyond the bumper.
The system alerts you if certain vehicles
enter the blind spot zone while driving.
See the Driving Aids chapter of your
Owner’s Manual for details.
Cross Traffic Alert*
Cross traffic alert warns you of vehicles
approaching from the sides when the
transmission is in reverse (R). The system
illuminates an amber alert indicator in
the outside mirror on the side of your
vehicle the approaching vehicle is coming
from. Cross Traffic Alert also sounds an
audible alert and a message appears in the
information display indicating a vehicle
is coming from the right or left. This
system also works with the reverse sensing
system that sounds its own series of tones.
See the Driving Aids chapter of your
Owner’s Manual for details.
Note: Visibility aids do not replace
the need to watch where the vehicle is
moving. Refer to the Owner’s Manual
for safety information, more details and
system limitations.
FUNCTION(CONTINUED)
Collision Warning System*
This system is designed to alert you of certain collision risks.
A radar detects if your vehicle is rapidly approaching another
vehicle traveling in the same direction as yours. If it is, a
red warning light illuminates and an audible warning
chime sounds.
The brake support system assists the driver in reducing the
collision speed by charging the brakes. If the risk of collision
further increases after the warning light illuminates, the
brake support prepares the brake system for rapid braking.
This may be apparent to the driver. The system does not
automatically activate the brakes, but if the driver presses the
brake pedal, full force braking is applied even if the driver
lightly presses the brake pedal.
You can adjust the warning system sensitivity to one of three
possible settings through the information display control.
See the Driving Aids chapter in your Owner’s Manual
for details.
Traction Control
The system automatically turns on each time you switch the
ignition on. If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, switching
traction control off may be beneficial as this allows the wheels
to spin.
The switch for the stability and traction control system is on
the instrument panel. When you switch the system off, a message and an illuminated
icon appear on the instrument cluster.
Use the switch again to return the traction control system to
normal operation.
Note: When you switch traction control off, stability control
remains fully active.
AdvanceTrac™
The system automatically activates when you start your
engine. The electronic stability control portion of the

system disables when the transmission is in reverse (R),
or on some models, if you press and hold the stability control
button for more than five seconds when you apply the
brakes and the vehicle is at a stop. You can switch off the
traction control portion of the system independently. See
the Stability Control chapter of your Owner’s Manual
for details.
Pony Projection Lights*
The lights are on the bottom of the mirror housings.
This feature projects an image onto the ground a short
distance from the vehicle with the illuminated entry and
exit feature.
