Rearview camera with zoom (if equipped)
This system provides a visual display of the area
behind the vehicle. The display automatically appears
in the touchscreen when the vehicle is in R (Reverse)
and uses colors (green, yellow and red) to alert you of
your proximity to objects. You can also zoom in or
out as well as adjust the guidelines. Note: Visibility
aids do not replace the need to watch where the
vehicle is moving. Refer to the Driving chapter of
your Owner’s Guide for safety information, more
detail and limitations.
Manual zoom (if equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with a Rearview Camera,
you can use the manual zoom feature to further help
you when connecting your vehicle to a trailer. When
the vehicle is in R (Reverse), an image of the rear
of the vehicle will appear on the touchscreen. Press
Zoom and then press + or – to manually zoom in
or out. The zoomed image keeps the bumper in the
display to provide a reference. The image will remain
onscreen until the vehicle is shifted into D (Drive)
and the vehicle reaches 5 mph (8 km/h).
Blind spot information system (BLIS
®)
with cross traffic alert (CTA), (if equipped)
BLIS
® uses radar sensors to help you determine if a
vehicle may be in your blind spot zone when driving
on roads and freeways. The CTA feature alerts you if
a car is coming towards you when you are backing
out of a parking space. Refer to the Driving chapter
in your Owner’s Guide for more information.
Blind spot mirrors (if equipped)
Your outside mirrors may have an integrated convex
mirror in the upper corner. This increases visibility
alongside the vehicle; thereby helping you see a
vehicle which may be in your blind spot. As a
vehicle approaches, its image will transition from
the main mirror to the blind spot mirror in the upper
corner. Refer to the Driving chapter in your Owner’s
Guide for more information. Reverse sensing system (if equipped)
This system sounds a warning tone if there is an
obstacle near the vehicle’s rear bumper when the
vehicle is in R (Reverse) and is traveling less than
3 mph (5 km/h). The warning tone will increase in
frequency as the object gets closer and then will
sound continuously when the object is less than 10
inches (25 cm) away. Note: Visibility aids do not
replace the need to watch where the vehicle is moving.
Refer to the Driving chapter in your Owner’s Guide for
safety information, more detail and limitations.
Active park assist (APA) (if equipped)
This system can detect an available parallel parking
space and automatically steer the vehicle into that
space (hands-free). The system instructs the driver
with visual and/or audible instructions with regard
to braking, accelerating and shifting gears in order
to safely park the vehicle. To initiate active park
assist, press the AUTO P button on the left side
of the instrument panel, and follow the system
instructions as prompted by the message center. To
stop the parking procedure, grab the steering wheel
or press the control again. Note: Park Assist does
not replace the need to watch where the vehicle is
moving. Refer to the Driving chapter in your Owner’s
Guide for safety information, detail and limitations.
Trailer tow (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Class III
trailer towing package. Please refer to your
Owner’s Guide for complete information on weights
as well as the proper equipment to use while
towing.
Note: Do not use the mini spare tire when
towing, as the mini spare is not intended for higher
towing load limits. Refer to your Owner’s Guide for
safety information, more detail and limitations.
Trailer sway control
This control uses the vehicle’s AdvanceTrac
®
system to detect and help reduce trailer sway by
applying brake force at individual wheels and, if
necessary, reducing engine power. If this happens,
TRAILER SWAY REDUCE SPEED will display in
the instrument cluster with the AdvanceTrac icon
. For more information, please refer to your
Owner’s Guide.

Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel info
Your vehicle has a fuel tank capacity of 18.6 gallons (70.4L). Use “Regular” unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87

® system
With this system, you simply open the fuel filler door by pressing the center of
the fuel door, insert the nozzle and begin fueling. It is self-sealing and therefore
protected against dust, dirt, water, snow and ice. Wait five seconds from the
time the refueling nozzle is shut-off until the nozzle is pulled back out of the fill
pipe to allow residual fuel in the nozzle to drain into the tank. To use a portable
fuel container, slowly insert the fuel funnel (attached to the underside of the
spare tire cover or included with the tire changing tools), and pour the fuel into
the funnel. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. Extra funnels
can be purchased from your authorized dealer. Do not use aftermarket funnels
as they will not work with the Easy Fuel
® system and may cause damage.
