Rear View Camera*
Provides a video image
of the area behind the
vehicle in either the
rearview mirror or the
display in the center of
the instrument panel.
The image automatically
appears 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.
• The front sensors automatically activate 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 details and limitations.

Active Park Assist* The active park assist
system can detect an
available parallel parking

be limited. Refer to Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels in
the Towing chapter of your Owner’s Manual.

switch on and off
automatically in
low light situations
or during inclement
weather. They will

Ambient Lighting*
The ambient lighting system illuminates the interior with
a choice of several colors. The ambient lighting control
is located in the overhead console. Rotate the control
knob to switch the feature on and adjust the desired
brightness. Press the palette button to cycle through
your color choices.
Ambient lighting will switch on when the following
conditions have been met:
• You switch the ignition on, or
• You switch the headlamps on.
Traction Control
The traction control system helps avoid drive wheel
spin and loss of traction.
If your vehicle begins to slide, the system applies
the brakes to individual wheels and, when needed, reduces engine power at the same time. If the wheels
spin when accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,
the system reduces engine power in order to
increase traction.
In certain situations (for example, stuck in snow or
mud), turning the traction control off may be beneficial
as this allows the wheels to spin with full engine power.
Turn the traction control system off through
the information display.
AdvanceTrac® Stability Control System
The system helps you keep control of your vehicle when
on a slippery surface. The electronic stability control
portion of the system helps avoid skids and lateral slides,
while the traction control system helps avoid drive wheel
spin and loss of traction.
Interior Lamps
The lamps will switch on when you open any door, press
a remote control button or press the overhead control.
Press
to switch off the
door illumination function
when you open any door.
Press
again to switch
the door illumination
function back on.
Press
to turn the
overhead lamps on and off.
