below the steering wheel at the end of the steering column.
To unlock the steering column, push the
tilt/telescoping lever downward (toward
the floor). To tilt the steering column,
move the steering wheel upward or down-
ward as desired. To lengthen or shorten
the steering column, pull the steering
wheel outward or push it inward as de-
sired.
To lock the steering column in position,
pull the tilt/telescoping lever upward un-
til fully engaged.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while driving. Adjusting the steering column
while driving or driving with the steering column unlocked, could cause the driver

injury or death.

WARNING!
• Never use the PARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply
the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
• When leaving the vehicle, always make sure the keyless ignition node is in the
“STOP/OFF” mode, remove the Key Fob from the vehicle and lock the vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever.
• Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children, and do not leave a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™in the
MAR/RUN mode. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move
the vehicle.
• Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving; failure to do so can
lead to brake failure and a collision.
• Always fully apply the parking brake when leaving your vehicle, or it may roll
and cause damage or injury. Also be certain to leave the transmission in PARK.
Failure to do so may allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM)
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located
inside the rear bumper fascia, to detect highway licensable vehicles (automobiles,
trucks, motorcycles, etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of
the vehicle.
When the vehicle is started, the BSM warning light will momentarily illuminate in
both outside rear view mirrors to let the driver know that the system is operational.
The BSM system sensors operate when the vehicle is in any forward gear or REVERSE
and enters stand-by mode when the vehicle is in PARK.
The BSM detection zone covers approximately one lane width on both sides of the
vehicle, 10 ft (3 m). The zone length starts at the outside mirror and extends
approximately 20 ft (6 m) beyond the rear bumper of the vehicle. The BSM system
monitors the detection zones on both sides of the vehicle when the vehicle speed
reaches approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and will alert the driver of vehicles
in these areas.
