screen will display guidance lines to aid reversing. When
a forward gear is selected and the vehicle’s speed is
greater than 10 mph (16 km/h), the Rear camera will
deactivate.
The Rear camera view has priority over the Parking aid
view. To display the Parking aid view instead, touch the
screen.
Note: Sensors may activate when water, snow, or ice is
detected on their surfaces. Make sure that the sensors
are cleaned regularly.
Parking aids
When transmission R is selected, Parking aids at the rear

The Touch screen will display a representation of the
vehicle and indicate any obstruction detected. A colored

Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
This enhancement uses a front mounted radar to monitor
traffic ahead. ACC can be programmed to maintain a set
gap to the vehicle ahead. When a vehicle ahead enters
the same lane as you, or, if the vehicle ahead is traveling
slower than the set speed, your vehicle will automatically
slow down and then maintain the set gap until the road
ahead clears. At that point, your vehicle will accelerate to
the set speed.

v

ehicle ahead. There are 4 gap settings to choose

from. When ACC is active, the amber warning lamp
will illuminate in the Instrument panel. The
Message center will display the current set
gap.
Set speeds are cleared at ignition switch off.
Forward alert
Forward alert is an additional feature of ACC and
provides limited detection of objects in the road ahead.
When necessary, it will give an audible warning plus the
Message center warning, FORWARD ALERT. The driver
must take appropriate action.

external devices, such as, garage doors,
entry gates, security systems, etc.
