Rear View Camera*
This system provides a
video image of the area
behind the vehicle in the
touchscreen. The display
automatically appears
when the vehicle is in R
(Reverse) and uses green,
yellow and red guides to
alert you of your proximity
to objects.

MyKey allows you to
program certain driving
restrictions in order to
promote good driving
habits. You can program
things like: speed
restrictions, limited volume
levels and traction control
always on. For complete
information, refer to the
MyKey

SecuriCode™ Keyless
Entry Keypad*
Allows you to lock or unlock
the doors and arm or disarm
the anti-theft alarm. The
keypad, located near the
driver’s window, is invisible
until touched and then it
lights up so you can see and
touch the buttons. To get

the driver’s door. To lock

SelectShift
Automatic®
Transmission
To enable, move the
SelectShift gearshift lever
from D (Drive) to S (Sport).
In S (Sport) mode, a
unique downshift schedule
is utilized to keep the
transmission in lower gears
for enhanced performance
and more aggressive engine
braking. When the vehicle is
in S (Sport) mode, manual
gear selection is enabled
by using the thumb toggle
on the side of the gearshift
lever. Press (+) to upshift,
press (-) to downshift.
Return the gearshift lever
to D (Drive) when manual
control is no longer desired.
Blind Spot Information
System (BLIS ®)
with Cross Traffic
Alert (CTA)*
BLIS uses radar sensors
to help you determine if a
vehicle may be in your blind
spot zone. The CTA feature
alerts you if a car is coming
toward you when you are
backing out of a parking
space. BLIS and CTA will
display a yellow indicator
light in your exterior mirrors
and the CTA will also sound
tones and display messages
to warn you from which
direction vehicles are
approaching. Refer to
the Driving Aids chapter
in your Owner’s Manual
for more information.

Autowipers*
The wipers function when
moisture is detected on the
