Introduction
The park assist system is designed to assist
you when driving into parking spaces, garages,
etc. It utilizes four ultrasound sensors located
in one or both bumpers to measure the dis-
tance to a vehicle, object, or a person who may
be close to the front or rear of your vehicle.
This system is available in the rear bumper
only, or in both the front and rear bumpers.
Park assist utilizes four ultrasound sensors in
the bumper(s) to measure the distance to a
vehicle, object, or a person who may be close
to the front or rear of your vehicle. An audible
signal and symbols in the audio system’s dis-
play indicate the distance to the object
WARNING
Park Assist is an information system, NOT a
safety system. This system is designed to
be a supplementary aid when parking the
vehicle. It is not, however, intended to
replace the driver\fs attention and judge-
ment. Function

object Green > 5 ft (1.5 m)
Yellow 5–1 ft (0.3–1.5)
Red 0–1 ft (0–0.3)
If any of the rear park assist
sensors detect an object that
is less than 1.3 ft (0.4 m) from
the vehicle and which is out-
side of the PAC camera’s field
of view, a “rear-view mirror”
icon will appear on the

Limitations
Even if it appears that a fairly small section of
the screen image is obstructed, this may mean
that a relatively large area behind the vehicle is
hidden and objects there may not be detected
until they are very near the vehicle.
NOTE Bicycle carriers or other accessories moun-
ted on the tailgate may obstruct the cam-
era\fs field of view.
Keep in mind
\b
Keep the camera\fs lens free of dirt, ice and

Blind Spot Information System*04
}}
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 195
LimitationsIn certain situations, the BLIS indicator light(s)
may illuminate even when there are no other
vehicles in the area monitored by the system.
NOTEIf the BLIS indicator lights illuminate occa-
sionally even when there are no other vehi-
cles in the blind area, this does not indicate
a fault in the system.
In the event of a fault, Blind spot syst.
service required will be displayed.
The following are several examples of situa-
tions in which the BLIS indicator light(s) may
illuminate even when there are no other vehi-
cles in the area monitored by the system.
Light reflected from a wet road surface The vehicle's own shadow against a large, light,
smooth surface such as barriers between lanes on
a highway
Sunlight directly in the camera when the sun is low
on the horizon
Cleaning the BLIS camera lensesIn order to function optimally, the BLIS camera
lenses must be kept clean. They can be wiped
clean with a soft cloth or wet sponge.
CAUTION \b
Clean the lenses carefully to avoid
scratching.
\b The lenses are electrically heated to
help melt ice or snow. If necessary, gen-
tly brush away snow from the lenses. Switching BLIS on and off
BLIS is automatically activated when the igni-
tion is switched on. The indicator lights will
provide confirmation by flashing 3 times.
\b
The system can be switched off by press-
ing the BLIS button in the center console
(see the illustration). The indicator light in
the button goes out when the system is BLIS

IntroductionCertain models are equipped with a tire sealing
system that enables you to temporarily seal a
hole in the tread surface and re-inflate a flat tire,
or to adjust a tire’s inflation pressure.
The system consists of an air compressor, a
container for the sealing compound, wiring to
connect the system to the vehicle’s electrical
system via one of the 12-volt sockets, and a
hose used to connect the system to the tire’s
inflation valve.
The 12-volt sockets are located in the front
tunnel console, on the rear side of the center
console in the rear seat, and in the cargo com-
partment*.See page 199. G022916 G023309
