PANORAMIC VISTA ROOF® AND POWER SUNSHADES
(IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:Do not let children play with the moonroof and
power sunshade or leave children unattended in the vehicle.
They may seriously hurt themselves.
WARNING:When closing the panoramic moonroof and power
sunshade, you should verify that it is free of obstructions and
make sure that children and pets are not in the proximity of the
moonroof and power sunshade opening.
Note:Do not attempt to move the sunshades manually or sunshade
damage or malfunction may occur. The sunshade track clips are designed
to release the sunshade crossbar in order to prevent damage to the
system. If this happens, you may need to slide the sunshade crossbar
ends back into position to regain proper function. See your authorized
dealer for proper moonroof or sunshade operating, diagnostic or repair
instructions.
Note:If the moonroof is excessively operated, the glass and shade
motors will go into a fail-safe jog mode. This mode allows manual
intermittent operation to prevent overheating or damage to the motor.
The motors will return to normal operation after a period of idle time.
The moonroof and sunshade controls are on the overhead console. There
will only be one control in the center position if the vehicle has a fixed
glass roof.
The moonroof and sunshade have a one-touch open and close feature. To
stop motion during one-touch operation, press the control a second time.

HEATED WINDOWS AND MIRRORS
Heated Rear Window
Note:The ignition must be switched on to use this feature.
Press the button to clear the rear window of thin ice and fog. Press the
button again within 10 minutes to switch it off. It switches off
automatically after 10 minutes, or when you switch the ignition off.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects to clean the inside
of the rear window or to remove decals from the inside of the
rear window. This may cause damage to the heated grid lines.
Your warranty does not cover this damage.
Heated Exterior Mirror (If Equipped)
Note:Do not remove ice from the mirrors with a scraper or attempt to
readjust the mirror glass if it is frozen in place. These actions could
cause damage to the glass and mirrors.
Note:Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products.
Both mirrors are heated to remove ice, mist and fog when the rear
window defroster is activated.
CABIN AIR FILTER
Note:Make sure you have a cabin air filter installed at all times. This
prevents foreign objects from entering the system. Running the system
without a filter in place could result in degradation or damage to the
system.
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air filter, which is located just in
front of the windshield under the cowl grille on the passenger side of
your vehicle.
The particulate air filtration system reduces the concentration of
airborne particles, such as dust, spores and pollen, in the air supplied to
the interior of your vehicle. The particulate filtration system gives the
following benefits to customers:
•Improves the customer’s driving comfort by reducing particle
concentration.
•Improves the interior compartment cleanliness.
•Protects the climate control components from particle deposits.

The transmission is in R (Reverse); the vehicle must be moving
forward to detect a parking space
An irregular curb along the parking space prevents the system from
aligning the vehicle properly
Vehicles or objects bordering the space may not be positioned correctly
The vehicle was pulled too far past the parking space. The system
performs best when you drive the same distance past the parking
space
The tires may not be installed or maintained correctly (i.e. not inflated
correctly, improper size, or of different sizes)
A repair or alteration has changed detection capabilities
A parked vehicle has a high attachment (i.e. salt sprayer, snowplow,
moving truck bed, etc.)

your vehicle passed
The temperature around your vehicle changes quickly (i.e. driving from
a heated garage into the cold, or after leaving a car wash)
REAR VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:The rear view camera system is a reverse aid
supplement device that still requires the driver to use it in
conjunction with the interior and exterior mirrors for maximum
coverage.
WARNING:Objects that are close to either corner of the
bumper or under the bumper, might not be seen on the screen
due to the limited coverage of the camera system.
WARNING:Back up as slow as possible since higher speeds
might limit your reaction time to stop the vehicle.

Guidelines and the Centerline
Note:Fixed guidelines and active guidelines (if equipped) are only
available when the transmission is in R (Reverse).
A. Active guidelines (if equipped)
B. Centerline
C. Fixed guideline: Green zone
D. Fixed guideline: Yellow zone

F. Rear bumper
If your vehicle is equipped with active guidelines they are only shown
with fixed guidelines. To use active guidelines, turn the steering wheel to
point the guidelines toward an intended path. If the steering wheel
position is changed while reversing, the vehicle might deviate from the
original intended path.
The fixed and active guidelines fade in and out depending on the
steering wheel position. When the steering wheel position is straight, the
active guidelines are not shown.
Always use caution while reversing. Objects in the red zone are closest
to your vehicle and objects in the green zone are further away. Objects
are getting closer to your vehicle as they move from the green zone to
the yellow or red zones. Use the side view mirrors and rear view mirror
to get better coverage on both sides and rear of the vehicle.

LANE KEEPING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:The system is designed to aid the driver. It is not
intended to replace the driver’s attention and judgment. The
driver is still responsible to drive with due care and attention.
The system detects unintentional drifting toward the outside of the lane
and alerts and/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 that is mounted
behind the interior rear view mirror.
Note:The system works above 40 mph (64 km/h).
Note:The system works as long as one lane marking can be detected by
the camera.
Note:If the camera is blocked or if the windshield is damaged, the
system may not function.
Note:When Aid mode is on and the system detects no driver steering
activity for a short period after system activation, the system alerts the
driver to keep their hands on the steering wheel. The system may detect
a light touch or grip on the steering wheel as hands-off driving.
Switching the System On and Off
Press the button located on the center console to switch the
system on or off.
Note:The system on/off setting is stored until it is manual changed,
unless a MyKey® is detected. If a MyKey® is detected, the system is

Note:If a MyKey® is detected, pressing the button will not affect the
on/off status of the system. Only the Mode and Intensity settings can be
changed when a MyKey® is present.
System Settings
The system has one standard feature setting and one optional setting
menu available. To view or adjust the settings, refer to theInformation
Displayschapter. The last-known selection for each of these settings is
stored by the system. You do not need to readjust your settings each
time you turn on the system.

BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM (BLIS®) WITH CROSS
TRAFFIC ALERT (CTA) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:To help avoid injuries, NEVER use the BLIS® as a
replacement for using the interior and exterior mirrors and
looking over your shoulder before changing lanes. BLIS® is not a
replacement for careful driving.
BLIS® aids the driver in detecting
vehicles that may have entered the
blind spot zone (A). The detection
area is on both sides of the vehicle,
extending rearward from the
exterior mirrors to approximately
10 feet (3 meters) beyond the
bumper. The system alerts you if
certain vehicles enter the blind spot
zone while driving.
CTA warns the driver of vehicles approaching from the sides when the
transmission is in R (Reverse).
Note:BLIS® is not designed to prevent contact with other vehicles or
objects; or to detect parked vehicles, people, animals or infrastructure
(fences, guardrails, trees, etc.). It is designed to alert the driver to
vehicles in the blind zones.
Note:When a vehicle passes quickly through the blind zone (typically
fewer than two seconds), the system does not trigger.
