WARNING
Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, crash an\
d
injury. We strongly recommend that you use extreme caution when
using any device that may take your focus off the road. Your primary
responsibility is the safe operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any hand-held device while driving and encourage
the use of voice-operated systems when possible. Make sure you are
aware of all applicable local laws that may affect the use of electronic\
devices while driving.
Active Park Assist*
Detects an available parallel
parking space and automatically
steers the vehicle into the space
(hands-free) while you control the
accelerator, gearshift and brakes.
The system visually and audibly
instructs you to park your vehicle.
To use active park assist, press
the AUTO IPI button located near
the shifter. Use the turn signal to
indicate which side of the vehicle
you want the system to search
on. If the turn signal is not on, the
system automatically searches
on the vehicle’s passenger side.
To stop the parking procedure,
grab the steering wheel or press
the control again. For complete
information, refer to the
Parking Aids chapter of
your Owner’s Manual.
Note: The driver is always
responsible for controlling the
vehicle, supervising the system
and intervening, if required.SecuriCode™ Keyless
Entry System
Allows you to lock or unlock the
doors, recall memory features
and arm or disarm the anti-theft
alarm. To get started, you will
need your five digit factory code
found on your owner’s wallet
card (located in the glove box).
Entering this code unlocks
the driver’s door. To lock all
doors, press and hold 7•8

complete information, refer to
the SecuriCode Keyless Entry

Function
BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) 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 warns you of vehicles
approaching from the sides when the transmission is in R (Reverse).
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 which direction vehicles are approaching. Refer to the
Driving Aids chapter in your Owner’s Manual for more information.
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 system limitations.
Lane Keeping System*
The system detects unintentional drifting toward the outside of
the lane and alerts or aids the driver to stay in the lane through
the steering system and instrument cluster display. The system
automatically detects and tracks the road lane markings using a
camera that is mounted behind the interior rearview mirror.

This system provides a video image of the area behind the vehicle. The display
automatically appears in the touchscreen when the vehicle is in R (Reverse) and
uses green, yellow and red guides to aler t you of your proximit y to objects.
Forward and Reverse Sensing Systems This system sounds an audible warning tone if there is an obstacle near \
the

and the vehicle speed is below 7 mph (12 km/h). The system detects cer\
tain objects
while the transmission 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.
