TILT/TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN
This feature allows you to tilt the steering column upward or downward. It also allows
you to lengthen or shorten the steering column. The tilt/telescoping lever is located
below the steering wheel at the end of the steering column.
To unlock the steering column, push the
tilt/telescoping lever downward (toward
the floor). To tilt the steering column,
move the steering wheel upward or down-
ward as desired. To lengthen or shorten
the steering column, pull the steering
wheel outward or push it inward as de-
sired.
To lock the steering column in position,
pull the tilt/telescoping lever upward un-
til fully engaged.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while driving. Adjusting the steering column
while driving or driving with the steering column unlocked, could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious
injury or death.

Headlight Time Delay
This feature provides the safety of headlight illumination for up to 90 seconds when
leaving your vehicle in an unlit area.
The time delay of the headlights is programmable between 0, 30, 60 and 90
seconds.
Headlight Delay Activation
To activate the delay feature, place the ignition in the STOP/OFF position while theheadlights are still on. Then, turn off the headlights within two minutes. The delayinterval begins when the headlight switch is turned off.
Headlight Delay Disable
The feature is disabled by turning on the headlights, the parking lights or by placing
the ignition in the MAR/RUN position.
If you shut off the lights before the ignition is turned on, they will turn off in the
normal manner.
NOTE:
The lights must be turned off within two minutes of placing the ignition in the
STOP/OFF position to activate this feature.
Flash-To-Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by lightly pulling the multifunc-
tion lever toward you. This will cause the headlights to turn on at high beam and
remain on until the lever is released.
High Beam Headlights
To turn on the high beam headlights, push the turn signal lever forward (toward thefront of the vehicle) and an indicator will illuminate in the cluster. To turn off the highbeams, pull the turn signal lever rearward (toward the rear of the vehicle).
NOTE:
The headlights must be on for the high
beams to activate.

Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the arrows on each side of the
instrument cluster flash to show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal
lights.
• A “Turn Signal On” message will appear in the instrument cluster and a
continuous chime will sound if the vehicle is driven more than 1 mile (1.6 km) with
either turn signal on.
• When the Daytime Running Lights are on and a turn signal is activated, the
Daytime Running Lamp will turn off on the side of the vehicle in which the turn
signal is flashing. The Daytime Running Lamp will turn back on when the turn
signal is turned off.
WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
The windshield wiper/washer controls are located on the lever on the right side of the
steering column. The front wipers are operated by rotating a switch, located on the
end of the lever.
CAUTION!
Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the windshield wiper blades
from returning to the “park” position. If the windshield wiper switch is turned off,
and the blades cannot return to the “park” position, damage to the wiper motor
may occur.
Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the windshield wiper knob to one of the two detent positions for intermittent
settings, the third detent for low wiper operation and the fourth for high wiper
operation.
Windshield Washer Operation
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and hold while spray is desired. If the
lever is pulled while in the intermittent setting, the wipers will turn on and operate for
several wipe cycles after the lever is released, and then resume the intermittent
interval previously selected.
If the lever is pulled while the wipers are in the off position, the wipers will operate
for several wipe cycles, then turn off.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield could lead to a collision. You
might not see other vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the
windshield during freezing weather, warm the windshield with the defroster before
and during windshield washer use.

NOTE:
• The BSM system does NOT alert the driver about rapidly approaching vehicles that
are outside the detection zones.
• The BSM system detection zone DOES NOT change if your vehicle is towing a
trailer. Therefore, visually verify the adjacent lane is clear for both your vehicle and
trailer before making a lane change. If the trailer or other object (i.e., bicycle,
sports equipment) extends beyond the side of your vehicle, this may result in the
BSM warning light remaining illuminated the entire time the vehicle is in a forward
gear. It may be necessary to deactivate BSM system manually by related menu to
avoid a miss-detection.
The area on the rear fascia where the radar sensors are located must remain free of
snow, ice, and dirt/road contamination so that the BSM system can function properly.
Do not block the radar sensors located on the rear fascia with foreign objects (bumper
stickers, bicycle racks, etc.).
The BSM system notifies the driver of objects in the detection zones by illuminating
the BSM warning light located in the outside mirrors in addition to sounding an
audible (chime) alert and reducing the radio volume.
The BSM system monitors the detection zone from three different entry points (side,
rear, front) while driving to see if an alert is necessary. The BSM system will issue an
alert during these types of zone entries.
Entering From The Side
Vehicles that move into your adjacent lanes from either side of the vehicle.
Entering From The Rear
Vehicles that come up from behind your vehicle on either side and enter the rear
detection zone with a relative speed of less than 31 mph (50 km/h).
Overtaking Traffic
If you pass another vehicle slowly with a relative speed less than 15 mph (25 km/h)
and the vehicle remains in the blind spot for approximately 1.5 seconds, the warning
light will be illuminated. If the difference in speed between the two vehicles is
greater than 15 mph (25 km/h), the warning light will not illuminate.
The BSM system is designed not to issue an alert on stationary objects such as
guardrails, posts, walls, foliage, berms, etc. However, occasionally the system may
alert on such objects. This is normal operation and your vehicle does not require
service.
The BSM system will not alert you of objects that are traveling in the opposite
direction of the vehicle in adjacent lanes.

WARNING!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only an aid to help detect objects in the blind
spot zones. The BSM system is not designed to detect pedestrians, bicyclists, or
animals. Even if your vehicle is equipped with the BSM system, always check your
vehicles mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and use your turn signal before
changing lanes. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
Rear Cross Path (RCP)
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is intended to aid the driver when backing out of
parking spaces where their vision of oncoming vehicles may be blocked. Proceed
slowly and cautiously out of the parking space until the rear end of the vehicle is
exposed. The RCP system will then have a clear view of the cross traffic and if an
oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the driver.
RCP monitors the rear detection zones on both sides of the vehicle, for objects that
are moving toward the side of the vehicle with a minimum speed of approximately
1 mph (2 km/h), to objects moving a maximum of approximately 22 mph (35 km/h),
such as in parking lot situations.
NOTE:
In a parking lot situation, oncoming vehicles can be obscured by vehicles parked on
either side. If the sensors are blocked by other structures or vehicles, the system will
not be able to alert the driver.
When RCP is on and the vehicle is in REVERSE, the driver is alerted using both the
visual and audible alarms, including reducing the radio volume.
WARNING!
RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. It is intended to be used to help a driver detect
an oncoming vehicle in a parking lot situation. Drivers must be careful when
backing up, even when using RCP. Always check carefully behind your vehicle,
look behind you, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, and blind spots before backing up. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.

Park Assist System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
• Ensure that the outer surface and the underside of the rear bumper is clean and
clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction to keep the Rear Park Assist
system operating properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could affect the performance of
Rear Park Assist.
• Clean the Rear Park Assist sensors regularly, taking care not to scratch or damage
them. The sensors must not be covered with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt or debris.
Failure to do so can result in the system not working properly. The Rear Park Assist
system might not detect an obstacle behind the fascia/bumper, or it could provide
a false indication that an obstacle is behind the fascia/bumper.
• Objects such as bicycle carriers, etc., must not be placed within 12 inches (30
cm) from the rear fascia/bumper while driving the vehicle. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a close object as a sensor problem, causing a
failure indication to be displayed in the instrument cluster.
CAUTION!
• Rear Park Assist is only a parking aid and it is unable to recognize every
obstacle, including small obstacles. Parking curbs might be temporarily
detected or not detected at all. Obstacles located above or below the sensors
will not be detected when they are in close proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly when using Rear Park Assist in order to be
able to stop in time when an obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder when using Rear Park Assist.
WARNING!
• Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using ParkSense®. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, look behind you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before
backing up. You are responsible for safety and must continue to pay attention
to your surroundings. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
• Before using ParkSense®, it is strongly recommended that the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly is disconnected from the vehicle when the vehicle is not
used for towing. Failure to do so can result in injury or damage to vehicles or
obstacles because the hitch ball will be much closer to the obstacle than the
rear fascia when the loudspeaker sounds the continuous tone. Also, the sensors
could detect the ball mount and hitch ball assembly, depending on its size and
shape, giving a false indication that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.
