appears above the dash. If the risk
of collision increases, the system
increases brake support to help
reduce collision speed.

BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System)

BLIS uses radar sensors to help you determine if a vehicle may be
in your blind spot zone. Cross traffic alert warns you of vehicles
approaching from the sides when the transmission is in reverse (R).
BLIS and cross traffic alert display a yellow indicator light in your
exterior mirrors. Cross traffic alert also sounds tones and displays
messages to warn you which direction vehicles are approaching.
Refer to the Driving Aids chapter in your Owner’s Manual for
more information.
Note: Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where
the vehicle is moving. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for safety
information, more details and system limitations.
Lane Keeping System*
The system detects unintentional drifting toward the outside of
the lane and alerts or aids the driver to stay in the lane through
the steering system and instrument cluster display. The system
automatically detects and tracks the road lane markings using a
camera mounted behind the interior mirror. See the Driving Aids
section in your Owner's Manual for details.
Rear View Camera * This system provides a video image of the area behind the
vehicle. The image automatically appears in the touchscreen
when the vehicle is in reverse (R) and uses green, yellow and
red guides to aler t you of your proximit y to objects.
Forward and Reverse Sensing Systems This system 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 are
automatically activated when the gearshift is in any position
other than park (P) or neutral (N) and the vehicle speed is
below 7 mph (12 km/h). The system detects certain objects
while the transmission is in reverse (R) and detects objects
up to 6 feet (2 meters) away. See the Parking Aids chapter
in your Owner’s Manual for complete information on your
vehicle’s sensing systems.

drive (D) when manual control is no longer desired.

few seconds with no further paddle use.
