one place. The system provides easy interaction with your cellular phone,
multimedia entertainment, climate controls and navigation system.

Rearview Camera*
Provides a visual
display of the
area behind
the vehicle.
The display
automatically
appears in the
touch screen when the vehicle is in
R (Reverse) and uses green, yellow
and red guides to alert you of your
proximity to objects.
Integrated Blind
Spot Mirrors
Designed to
assist you by
increasing the
visibility along
the side of
your vehicle.
• The integrated convex mirror is built
into the upper outboard corner of
the exterior mirrors.
• As an approaching vehicle moves
toward you, you will see its
reflection first in the main mirror,
and then in the blind spot mirror.
Forward and Reverse
Sensing Systems*
Sounds an audible warning tone if
there is an obstacle near the vehicle’s
front or rear bumpers.
• As the vehicle moves closer to the
obstacle, the rate of the warning
tone increases in frequency.

activated when the vehicle is in D
(Drive) and will detect objects up to
27 inches (70 centimeters) away.
• The reverse sensors are activated
automatically when the vehicle is in
R (Reverse), and will detect objects
up to 6 feet (2 meters) away.
• See the Parking Aids chapter in
your Owner’s Manual for complete
information on your vehicle’s
sensing systems.
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 detail
and limitations.
