The system can be turned off using the information display control.
See theInformation Displaychapter. If a fault is present in the system,
a warning message appears in the information display and does not allow
the driver to switch the faulted system on.
Using the Rear Sensing System
The rear sensors are only active when the transmission is inR.Asthe
vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the rate of the audible warning
increases. When the obstacle is fewer than 12 inches (30 centimeters)
away, the warning sounds continuously. If a stationary or receding object
is detected farther than 12 inches (30 centimeters) from the side of the
vehicle, the tone sounds for only three seconds. Once the system detects
an object approaching, the warning sounds again.
A. Coverage area of up to 6 feet
(2 meters) from the rear bumper
(with a decreased coverage area at
the outer corners of the bumper).
The system detects certain objects while the transmission is inR:
•and moving toward a stationary object at a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h)
or less.
•but not moving, and a moving object is approaching the rear of the
vehicle at a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less.
•and moving at a speed of less than 3 mph (5 km/h) and a moving
object is approaching the rear of the vehicle at a speed of less than
3 mph (5 km/h).

REAR VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:The rear view camera system is a reverse aid
supplement device that still requires the driver to use it in
conjunction with the interior and exterior mirrors for maximum
coverage.
WARNING:Objects that are close to either corner of the
bumper or under the bumper, might not be seen on the screen
due to the limited coverage of the camera system.
WARNING:Back up as slow as possible since higher speeds
might limit your reaction time to stop the vehicle.
WARNING:Use caution when using the rear video camera and the
trunk is ajar. If the trunk is ajar, the camera will be out of position
and the video image may be incorrect. All guidelines (if enabled) have
been removed when the trunk is ajar.
WARNING:Use caution when turning camera features on or off
while the transmission is inR. Make sure the vehicle is not
moving.
The rear view camera system provides a video image of the area behind
the vehicle.
During operation, lines appear in the display which represent your
vehicle’s path and proximity to objects behind the vehicle.
The camera is located on the trunk.

Using the Rear View Camera System
The rear view camera system displays what is behind your vehicle when
you place the transmission inR. The system uses fixed guidelines which
show the actual path the vehicle is moving in while reversing in a straight
line. This can be helpful when backing into a parking space or aligning the
vehicle with another object behind the vehicle.
Note:Do not use the camera system if the trunk is ajar.
Note:If the image comes on while the transmission is not inR, have the
system inspected by your authorized dealer.
Note:When towing, the camera only sees what is being towed behind
the vehicle. This might not provide adequate coverage as it usually
provides in normal operation and some objects might not be seen.
In some vehicles, the guidelines may disappear once the trailer tow
connector is engaged.
Note:The camera may not operate correctly under the following
conditions:
•Nighttime or dark areas if one or both reverse lamps are not
operating.
•The camera’s view is obstructed by mud, water or debris. Clean the
lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.
•The rear of the vehicle is hit or damaged, causing the camera to
become misaligned.

Guidelines
Note:The guidelines are only available when the transmission is inR.
A. Rear bumper
B. Fixed guideline: Red zone
C. Fixed guideline: Yellow zone
D. Fixed guideline: Green zone
The fixed guidelines fade in and out depending on the steering wheel
position.
Always use caution while reversing. Objects in the red zone are closest
to your vehicle and objects in the green zone are further away. Objects
are getting closer to your vehicle as they move from the green zone to
the yellow or red zones. Use the side view mirrors and rear view mirror
to get better coverage on both sides and rear of the vehicle.
Rear Camera Delay
On vehicles without a navigation system,the camera image in the
rear view mirror remains on for a few seconds to assist in parking or
attaching a trailer.
On vehicles with a navigation system,the camera image remains in
the display until the vehicle speed reaches 5 mph (8 km/h). This occurs
when the rear camera delay feature is on, or until a radio button is
selected. Selectable settings for this feature are ON and OFF. The default
setting for the rear camera delay is OFF.

STEERING
Electric Power Steering
WARNING:Obtain immediate service if a system error is
detected. You may not notice any difference in the feel of your
steering, but a serious condition may exist. Failure to do so may result
in loss of steering control.
Note:Your vehicle is equipped with an electric power-assisted steering
system. There is no fluid reservoir to check or fill.
The electric power steering system has diagnostic checks that
continuously monitor the system to ensure proper operation of the
electronic system. When an electronic error is detected, a message will
be displayed in the information display. If this happens, stop the vehicle
in a safe place, and turn off the engine. After at least 10 seconds, reset
the system by restarting the engine, and watch the information display
for a steering message. If a steering message returns, or returns while
driving, take the vehicle to your dealer to have it checked.
If your vehicle loses electrical power while you are driving (or if the
ignition is turned off), you can steer the vehicle manually, but it takes
more effort. Extreme continuous steering may increase the effort it takes
for you to steer. This occurs to prevent internal overheating and permanent
damage to your steering system. If this should occur, you will neither lose
the ability to steer the vehicle manually nor will it cause permanent
damage. Typical steering and driving maneuvers will allow the system
to cool and steering assist will return to normal.
Steering Tips
If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
•an improperly inflated tire
•uneven tire wear
•loose or worn suspension components
•loose or worn steering components
•improper vehicle alignment
A high crown in the road or high crosswinds may also make the steering
seem to wander/pull.

Selectable Steering
Note:The steering setting defaults to standard if the battery is
disconnected or removed.
See theInformation Displayschapter.
You can select the desired steering feel using the information display
control. The settings are:
•Standard: Default factory setting.
•Sport: Slightly higher effort required for steering with more road force
felt through the steering wheel.
•Comfort: Slightly less effort required for steering with less road force
felt through the steering wheel.
After selecting the desired setting, you may feel a soft feedback bump in
the steering wheel when the changeover occurs.
