nOte : See Owner’s Manual for more details and explanations.
nOte : Low ambient temperature and/or high altitude causes tire pressures to drop
and may turn the TPMS warning light on. If the warning light comes on, check the tire
pressure and fill the tires as soon as possible, preferably before moving the vehicle and
warming up the tires. Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold.1 If the instrument cluster and other dashboard illuminations do not dim when turning on the headlights,
push the Instrument Cluster Dimmer knob.
2 • Push to toggle between trip meter A & B.
• When a trip meter is selected, push and hold to reset to zero.
The instrument cluster has a dimmer function that
can be cancelled to make the illumination brighter
during the day when the headlights are on. If
the illumination is too dim during the day,
press the knob, or if the illumination does
not dim when turning on the headlights
at night, press the knob.
When dimmed, rotate the
knob to adjust the brightness
of the illumination.

BL inD SPO t MOnit ORing (BSM) SYSte M (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.
• If your vehicle speed is 20 mph (32 km/h) or more, the BSM will warn
you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the BSM warning
lights located on the left and right door mirrors.
• If you operate a turn signal in the direction of an illuminated BSM
warning light, the system will also warn you with a beeping sound and
warning light flash.
• BSM sensors are located under the left and right rear bumper areas.
The BSM system may not operate properly if the rear bumper gets too
dirty, so keep the rear bumper area clean.
Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
Your Vehicle
Detection Areas
n Ote : Do not rely completely on the BSM system and be sure to look over
your shoulder before changing lanes:
• The BSM system can assist the driver in confirming the safety of the surroundings,
but is not a complete substitute.
• The driver is responsible for ensuring safe lane changes and other maneuvers.
• Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling and the
vehicle’s surroundings.
• The BSM system does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than about
20 mph (32 km/h).
turning BSM System Off
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 automatically turn on the next time the
vehicle is started.
BACKUP Sen SOR SYSteM (if equipped)
The backup sensor system uses ultrasonic sensors to detect
obstructions around the vehicle while parking the vehicle in a
garage or during parallel parking when the vehicle is driven at a
speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h) or less. The system will notify
the driver of the approximate distance from the vehicle to the
surrounding obstruction using a beep sound.
This can be turned ON or OFF using the Backup Sensor Button located on
the left side of dash.
