REARVIEW CAMERA SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The rear-view camera system,
located on the trunk, provides a
video image which appears on the
navigation screen of the area behind
the vehicle. It adds assistance to the
driver while reversing or reverse
parking the vehicle.
To use the camera system, place the
transmission in R (Reverse); an
image will display on the navigation
system screen. The area displayed
on the screen may vary according to
the vehicle orientation and/or road
condition.
•(1) Rear bumper
•(2) Red zone
•(3) Yellow zone
•(4) Green zone
Always use caution while backing.
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 mirrors and rear view mirror to get better coverage on both
sides and rear of the vehicle.
After shifting out of R (Reverse) and into any gear other than P (Park),
the image on the navigation screen will remain until the vehicle speed
reaches five mph (8 km/h), only if the rear camera delay feature is on, or
until any navigation radio button is depressed.
Note:The default setting for the rear camera delay is off. Push the
“Settings” button found on the navigation screen to set the rear camera
delay feature to on or off. Refer to theNavigation Supplementfor more
information.
The camera lens for the camera system is located on the trunk. Keep the
lens clean so that the video image remains clear and undistorted. Clean
the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.

Note:If the camera system image is not clear or seems distorted, it may
be covered with water droplets, snow, mud or any other substance. If
this occurs, clean the camera lens before using the camera system.
WARNING:The camera system is a reverse aid supplement
device that still requires the driver to use it in conjunction with
the rear view mirror and the side 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:Backup as slow as possible since higher speeds
might limit your reaction time to stop the vehicle.
WARNING:Do not use the camera system with the trunk open.
If the back end of the vehicle is hit or damaged, then check with your
authorized dealer to have your rear video system checked for proper
coverage and operation.
Night time and dark area use
At night time or in dark areas, the camera system relies on the reverse
lamp lighting to produce an image. Therefore it is necessary that both
reverse lamps are operating in order to get a clear image in the dark. If
either of the lamps are not operating, stop using the camera system, at
least in the dark, until the lamp(s) are replaced and functioning.
Servicing
•If the image comes on while the vehicle is not in R (Reverse), have
the system inspected by your authorized dealer.
•If the image is not clear, then check if there is anything covering the
lens such as dirt, mud, ice, snow, etc. If the image is still not clear
after cleaning, have your system inspected by your authorized dealer.

BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM™ (BLIS™) WITH CROSS
TRAFFIC ALERT (CTA) (IF EQUIPPED)
The BLIS™ system is a convenience
feature that aids the driver in
assessing whether a vehicle is within
an area on either side of the vehicle
extending rearward from the outside
mirrors to approximately 10 feet
(three meters) beyond the bumper.
This area is referred to as the blind
zone. The BLIS™ will alert the
driver to the presence of motorized
vehicles in these areas while driving
on roads and freeways.
The system is not designed to
prevent contact with other vehicles
or objects. The system is designed
to provide a warning to assist the
driver in detecting vehicles in the blind zones. The system will not detect
infrastructure, pedestrians, or cyclists.
WARNING:To help avoid injuries, NEVER use the BLIS™ as a
replacement for using the side and rear view mirrors and looking
over your shoulder before changing lanes. BLIS™ is not a replacement
for careful driving and only an assist.
The BLIS™ has an amber indicator
(also referred to as the alert)
located in the left and right exterior
mirrors. When the vehicle is started,
the BLIS™ automatically illuminates
both indicators for several seconds
indicating the system is operating.
The first time you place the
transmission in D (Drive) after starting the engine and drive forward at a
speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h) the BLIS™ system becomes active.
Afterwards, the BLIS remains active for all speeds including zero mph.
BLIS™ is also active if the transmission is placed in N (Neutral). If the
transmission is shifted out of D (Drive) or N (Neutral) the system will
enter the CTA mode (see CTA operation below). Once shifted back in to
D (Drive) the BLIS™ mode will activate once driven above 3 mph
(5 km/h).

Cross traffic alert (CTA) system operation
The cross traffic alert system warns
the driver of approaching vehicles
when R (Reverse) is selected and
the vehicle is backing out of a
front-in parking spot. It sounds a
series of tones and flashes the
BLIS™ indicator found on the
exterior mirror on the side of the
approaching vehicle. Additionally, the message center will display either,
VEHICLE COMING FROM RIGHT or VEHICLE COMING FROM LEFT to
warn the driver from which direction vehicles are approaching.
The system is not designed to prevent contact with other vehicles or
objects. The system is designed to provide a warning to assist the driver
in detecting vehicles in the blind zones. The system will not detect
infrastructure, pedestrians, or bicyclists.
WARNING:To help avoid personal injury, NEVER use the Cross
Traffic Alert system as a replacement for using the side and rear
view mirrors and looking over your shoulder before backing out of a
parking space. CTA is not a replacement for careful driving and only an
assist.

BLIS™-CTA on/off and disable operation
The BLIS™ and/or the CTA can be turned off via the message center.
Turning the BLIS™ off does not turn off the CTA and visa versa. If either
the BLIS™ or CTA is turned off, the systems will automatically turn back
on at the next ignition key cycle. When either the BLIS™ or CTA is
turned off, the message center displays BLIND SPOT SYS OFF and/or
CTA SYSTEM OFF. When the BLIS™ or CTA system is off, the driver
will not receive alerts. Refer toMessage Centerin theInstrument
Clusterchapter.
The BLIS™-CTA can be disabled permanently even after an ignition key
cycle. This must be done by your dealership service technician.
Once either of the systems are disabled, enabling must also be performed
at the dealership. When disabled, the message center will display BLIND
SPOT DISABLED and/or CTA DISABLED.
BLIS™-CTA fault operation
If the BLIS™-CTA senses a fault on either the left or right sensor, the
BLIS™ alert indicator will go ON and remain ON and the message center
will display BLIND SPOT SYSTEM FAULT or CROSS TRAFFIC SYSTEM
FAULT. For faults that may cause the associated left or right alert
indicator not to illuminate, only the message center faults will occur.
Blocked sensor
An extreme build up of materials on
the left and/or right quarter panel
fascias such as mud or snow can
cause degraded performance of the
BLIS™. Also, heavy rain can cause
the same effect. The BLIS™ can
detect this degraded performance
and issue a blocked warning to the
driver via the message center. If condition is determined by the system,
the message center displays BLIND SPOT NOT AVAILABLE or CROSS
TRAFFIC NOT AVAILABLE warning and the appropriate left and/or right
exterior mirror alert indicator will illuminate. The message center
warning may be cleared by the driver but the exterior mirror alert
indicator will remain illuminated.
WARNING:Just prior to the system recognizing a blocked
condition and alerting the driver, the number of missed objects
will increase. To help avoid injuries, NEVER use the BLIS™ as a
replacement for using the side and rear view mirrors and looking over
your shoulder before changing lanes. BLIS™ is not a replacement for
careful driving and only an assist.
