WARNING
Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, crash an\
d
injury. We strongly recommend that you use extreme caution when
using any device that may take your focus off the road. Your primary
responsibility is the safe operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any hand-held device while driving and encourage
the use of voice-operated systems when possible. Make sure you are
aware of all applicable local laws that may affect the use of electronic\

devices while driving.

Lane Keeping System*

This system works to alert drivers
of unintentional lane departures
through the steering system and
instrument cluster display, and
helps drivers steer back into the
appropriate lane.
Turn the feature on and off by
pressing the button on your
center console, in front of
the shifter.
Note: 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.
Collision Warning System*

This system is designed to alert
the driver of certain collision
risks. Radar sensors detect if
vehicles ahead of you which are
moving in the same direction,
may be a collision risk. The
system alerts you with an audible
tone and red warning light that
appears above the dash. If the
risk of collision increases, the
system increases brake support
to help reduce collision speed.
Function
BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System)
with Cross Traffic Alert (CTA)*
BLIS aids the driver in detecting vehicles that may have entered the
blind spot zone. The cross traffic alert feature is designed to warn
you of vehicles approaching from the sides when the transmission
is in reverse (R). BLIS and cross traffic alert display a yellow indic\
ator
light in your exterior mirrors. The cross traffic alert also sounds tone\
s
and displays messages to warn you from 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.

Rear View Camera
This system provides a visual display of the area behind the vehicle. The
display 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.
Active Park Assist*
The system detects an available parallel parking space and automatically
steers the vehicle into the space (hands-free) while you control the accelerator,
gearshif t and brakes. The system uses visual and audible instructions to help
you park your vehicle.
Reverse Sensing System
This system sounds a warning tone if there is an obstacle near the vehicle’s
rear bumper when the vehicle is in reverse (R) and is traveling less than
3 mph (5 km/h). The warning tone increases in frequency as the object
gets closer.
Note: Visibilit y aids, such as active park assist and reverse sensing system,
do not replace the need to watch where the vehicle is moving. Refer to
your Owner’s Manual for safet y information, more details and
system limitations.

UNLEADED fuel blended with a maximum
of 15% ethanol and a minimum 87 octane

Towing Your Vehicle
Towing your vehicle behind an RV or any
other vehicle may be limited. Refer to
the Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels
section in the Towing chapter of your
Owner's Manual for more information.
Fuel-Efficient Transmission
Your vehicle has been designed to
improve fuel economy by reducing fuel

use only and should be replaced as soon
as possible. For complete details on
changing your tire, refer to the Changing
a Road Wheel section in the Wheels and
Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
Rear Window Buffeting
When one or both of your rear windows
are open, you may hear a pulsing noise.
To alleviate this, lower a front window
approximately 2-3 inches (5-8 centimeters).
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Your vehicle has a tire pressure monitoring
system that illuminates a low tire pressure
warning light
in your instrument
cluster when one or more of your tires are
significantly under-inflated. If this happens,
stop and check your tires as soon as
possible. Inflate them to the proper pressure.
