The above images are for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect actual operation.
For more information on the BSW / RCCW, refer to your Owner’s Manual.
Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BSW)†6
The BSW system uses radar sensors in the rear bumper to monitor and warn the
driver if it detects an approaching vehicle in the driver’s blind spot area and before
changing lanes The light on the BSW button A will illuminate when turned ON
The outside rearview mirror warning lights will also illuminate for 3 seconds when
the system is first turned on The system will become active when the vehicle is
traveling faster than 20 mph and will alert the driver if another vehicle is detected
by the radar sensor
Blind-Spot Collision Warning* / Lane Change Assist (LCA)*
1st-stage alert: When another vehicle is detected within the BSW System boundary B, or when a vehicle is detected within the LCA boundary, a yellow indicator will
illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors
2nd-stage alert: When the 1st-stage alert is on and the driver activates a turn
signal, a flashing yellow indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors and
the system will sound an alert
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW)*†6
If the RCCW system sensors detect approaching vehicles rear left or rear right
side of the vehicle C, the system will sound an audible alert, the warning
indicators on the outside rearview mirror will illuminate and a message will
appear on the LCD screen RCCW is designed to operate under these following
conditions:
•When the gear shift is in Reverse
•When the vehicle moves in reverse from a parked position
•When the vehicle is moving slower than 6 mph

If the LK A detects that you are moving outside of your lane, the system may give an audible
warning and display a LDW (Lane Departure Warning) alert on the instrument cluster If the vehicle
continues to move outside of the lane, the LK A will provide steering inputs, trying to prevent the
vehicle from moving outside its lane
Standard LK A is the operating mode by default when the LK A button is depressed
to ON To switch between modes (Standard LK A, Active LK A and Lane Departure
Warning), go to User Settings in the Instrument Cluster
All systems will operate under the following conditions:
•The vehicle exceeds approximately 40 mph

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist-
Pedestrian (FCA-Ped)*†6 /
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)*†6
The FCA-Ped is designed to help alert the driver and, under certain
conditions, apply emergency braking when rapidly approaching a
vehicle that is slowing down, braking or stopped Initially, the FCA-
Ped provides Forward Collision Warning (FCW ) when it detects a
potential collision with a vehicle in front emitting an audible warning
and visual alert on the instrument cluster Adjust the alert settings
(Late, Normal, Early) in the User Settings To turn the FCA-Ped/FCW
off, go to User Settings again and turn off
If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, the Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist-Pedestrian (FCA-Ped) automatically applies
the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to reduce the
effects of a possible collision FCA-Ped can be turned ON in the User
Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display
The FCA-Ped/FCW will become active when the:
• Engine Start /Stop button is ON
• Vehicle is traveling faster than 5 mph
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON

QR CODEHill-Start Assist Control (HAC)†8
Power Liftgate Release Button*
HAC helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backward
when accelerating from a stop while on a steep incline
The HAC automatically activates whether the ESC is
OFF or ON but does NOT activate when the ESC has
malfunctioned
REMINDERS:
•
The HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position
•
HAC does not replace the need to apply brakes while the vehicle is stopped on an incline
Press the A button for approximately one second to
open the liftgate
A
(Buttons located on left of Steering Wheel)
•
•When HAC is active (e g , during initial acceleration from a stop on an incline), you may notice that the brakes will momentarily remain engaged after you depress the accelerator – this is normal operation
•HAC provides a 2-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling backward
QUICK TIPS
REMINDERS:
•
The FCA-Ped/FCW will be activated by default when the vehicle power is cycled on, even when previous setting is off
•
The FCA-Ped/FCW will not operate when the vehicle is traveling faster than approximately 50 mph
•
If the FCA-Ped/FCW is operating and the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, the FCA-Ped/FCW system is automatically turned off
•When FCA-Ped/FCW system is off, the FCA-Ped/FCW warning indicator is on in the Instrument Cluster
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist-Pedestrian (FCA-Ped)* / Forward Collision Warning (FCW)* systems are not substitutes for safe and proper driving.
Always drive safely and use caution. FCA-Ped/FCW may not always alert the driver when the vehicle is approaching another vehicle.
