Blind Spot Monitoring System
NOTE: Do not rely completely on the BSM system and be sure to look over
your shoulder before changing lanes:
•
The B

SM system can assist the driver in confirming the safety of the surroundings,
but is not a complete substitute.
•
The dr

iver is responsible for ensuring safe lane changes and other maneuvers.
•
Alw

ays pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling and the
vehicle’s surroundings.
•
The B

SM system does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than
about 6.2 mph.
Turning BSM System Off
Turning the BSM system off will turn off both the light and sound
indicators. To manually turn the BSM system off, push the BSM
OFF switch on the dash. The BSM OFF indicator will illuminate
in the instrument cluster when the BSM system is off. The BSM
system will retain the last setting before the ignition was turned off.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SYSTEM (if equipped)
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver
by monitoring the blind spots to the rear of the vehicle on both sides.

war
n you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the
BSM warning lights located on the left and right door mirrors.

If yo

u operate a turn signal in the direction of an illuminated BSM warning
light, the system will also warn you with a beep and warning light flash.

Blind Spot Monitoring SystemRear Cross Traffic Alert
REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA) (if equipped)
The RCTA is designed to alert the driver of oncoming traffic when
backing out of a parking spot. RCTA is active when your vehicle is in
reverse and your vehicle speed is 0 to 8 mph.
When BSM sensors detect an object moving 3 to 18 mph, RCTA will notify
the driver with indicators and sound:
•
Rear

View Monitor and outside mirror flashing indications.
•
Bee

p sound (same as BSM).
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
Object Detected Object Detected
WARNING: RCTA is only a supplementary system to help aid when backing up;
however, R C TA has limitations. The system does not detect all vehicles, especially
a motorcycle . Do not rely solely on the R C TA . Relying solely on the R C TA may
cause an unexpected accident resulting in serious injury. Always back up slowly.

NOTE: The HL A system will hold the vehicle for a maximum of 2.0 seconds
while the driver is changing from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
Transmission
ACTIVE ADAPTIVE SHIFT (AAS) CONTROL
A AS will automatically adjust how and when the
transmission shifts gears based on road conditions
and your driving style.
The transmission may stay in a lower gear longer
than usual when going up or down hills or driving
around corners. This feature gives you better control
and a more connected driving experience.
HILL LAUNCH ASSIST (HLA)
HLA helps assist you when accelerating
the vehicle from a stop
while on a hill or slope.
When the brake
pedal is released
and the accelerator
pedal is pushed,
HLA prevents the
vehicle from rolling forward or backward. It operates on a downward slope
when the shift lever is in the reverse (R) position, and on an upward slope
when the shift lever is in a position other than the reverse (R) position.
DRIVE SEL ECTION
SPORT mode will choose a lower gear for
increased acceleration response. It will also
hold a lower gear/delay upshifting when
it detects you are braking or cornering
because it anticipates that you will want
to accelerate out of the turn more quickly.
Push the SPORT button to switch to SPORT
mode and the SPORT mode indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on. Push again to turn off.
NOTE:
• If the SET button of the cruise control is pushed while in SPORT mode, SPORT
mode is switched off. SPORT mode cannot be turned on or off when cornering.
• When the ignition is switched off, SPORT mode is also switched off.
• Fuel consumption increases slightly when using SPORT mode.
