QUICK TIPS
Blind Spot Detection (BSD) System*
The system uses a radar sensor to help alert driver
while driving The BSD indicator on the button B
will illuminate when turned ON
The system will become active when the
vehicle is traveling more than 19 mph and
will alert the driver when another vehicle is
detected by the radar sensor
1st stage alert: When another vehicle is detected within the
BSD System boundary, a yellow light will illuminate on the
outside rearview mirrors
2nd stage alert: When 1st stage alert is on and a turn signal
is turned on or the hazard lights are on, an alarm will sound
Hillstart Assist Control (HAC)
HAC helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when accelerating from
a stop while on a steep incline
The HAC automatically activates whether the ESC is OFF or ON but does NOT
activate when the ESC has malfunctioned
REMINDER: The HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position
