CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air
filter. It is located inside the instrument panel
and to the left of the glove box.
The particulate filtration system reduces the
concentration of airborne particles such as
dust, spores and pollen in the air supplied to
the interior of your vehicle.
Note:
Make sure the cabin air filter is in
place at all times. Running the system
without a filter in place could result in
degradation or damage to the system.
The particulate filtration system gives you
and your passengers the following benefits:
• It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior compartment
cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle deposits.
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 451). For additional cabin air filter information, or
to replace the filter, see an authorized dealer.
REMOTE START
The remote start feature allows you to
pre-condition the interior of your vehicle. The
climate control system works to achieve
comfort according to your previous settings.
Note:
You cannot adjust the system during
remote start operation.
Turn the ignition on to return the system to
its previous settings. You can now make
adjustments normally, but you need to turn
certain vehicle-dependent features back on,
such as:
• Heated seats.
• Cooled seats.
• Heated steering wheel.
• Heated mirrors.
• Heated rear window. You can adjust the default remote start
settings using the information display
controls.
See Information Displays (page

The system does not position the vehicle where I want in the space
Your vehicle is rolling in the opposite direction of the transmission (r\
olling forward when Reverse [R] is selected)
An irregular curb along the parking space prevents the system from align\
ing your vehicle properly
Vehicles or objects bordering the space may not be positioned correctly
You pulled your vehicle too far past the parking space. The system performs best when you drive the same distance past the par\
king space
The tires may not be installed or maintained correctly (not inflated co\
rrectly, improper size, or of different sizes)
A repair or alteration has changed detection capabilities
A parked vehicle has a high attachment (salt sprayer, snowplow, moving truck bed, etc.)
The parking space length or position of parked objects changed after your vehicle passed
The temperature around your vehicle changes quickly (driving from a hea\
ted garage into the cold, or after leaving a car wash)
REAR VIEW CAMERA (If Equipped) WARNINGS
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. WARNINGS
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. Back up as slow as possible since
higher speeds might limit your reaction
time to stop the vehicle. WARNINGS
Use caution when using the rear video
camera and the liftgate is ajar. If the
liftgate 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 liftgate is ajar.

Guidelines and the Centerline
Note:
Active guidelines and fixed guidelines
are only available when the transmission is
in Reverse (R).
Note: The centerline is only available if
Active or Fixed guidelines are on.
Note: Whenever the battery is disconnected
or a new battery installed, you need to drive
your vehicle a short distance and your speed
must exceed 12.4 mph (20 km/h) so the
system can recalibrate the steering angle
data in order to reactivate active guidelines. Active guidelines

Active guidelines are only shown with fixed
guidelines. To use active guidelines, turn the
steering wheel to point the guidelines toward
an intended path. If you change the steering
wheel position while reversing, your vehicle
might deviate from the original intended
path.
The fixed and active guidelines fade in and
out depending on your steering wheel
position. When your steering wheel position
is straight, the active guidelines are not
visible.
Always use caution while reversing. Objects
in the red zone are closest to your vehicle
and objects in the green zone are farther
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 your
vehicle.

The current assessment of your alertness is
within a typical range.
The current assessment of your alertness
indicates that you should rest as soon as
safely possible.
The status bar will travel from left to right as
the calculated alertness level decreases. As
the rest icon is approached the color turns
from green to yellow to red. The yellow
position indicates the first warning is active
and the red position indicates the second
warning is active.
Note:
If you have recently received a
warning; you should consider resting, even
if the current assessment is with the typical
range. Note:
If the camera sensor cannot track the
road lane markings or if your vehicle speed
drops below approximately 40 mph (64
km/h), the alertness level will change to grey
for a short time and the information display
will inform you that the system is unavailable.
Resetting the System
You can reset the system by either:
• Switching the ignition off and on.
• Stopping the vehicle and then opening
and closing the driver’ s door.
LANE KEEPING SYSTEM (If Equipped) WARNING
The system is designed to aid the
driver. It is not intended to replace the
driver’ s attention and judgment. The driver
is still responsible to drive with due care and
attention. Note:
The system works above 40 mph (64
km/h). Note:
The system works as long as the
camera can detect one lane marking.
Note: The system may not function if the
camera is blocked or there is damage to the
windshield.
Note: When Aid mode is on and the system
detects no steering activity for a short period,
the system will alert you to put your hands
on the steering wheel. The system may
detect a light grip or touch on the steering
wheel as hands off driving.
The system detects unintentional drifting
toward the outside of the lane and alerts or
aids you 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 mounted behind the interior rear
view mirror.
Switching the System On and Off
Note: The system on or off setting is stored
until it is manually changed, unless a MyKey®
is detected. If the system detects a MyKey®,
it defaults to on and the mode is set to alert.

BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM
Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®)
with Cross Traffic Alert (If Equipped)
WARNING
To help avoid injuries, NEVER use the
Blind Spot Information System as a
replacement for using the interior and
exterior mirrors or looking over your shoulder
before changing lanes. The Blind Spot
Information System is not a replacement for
careful driving. The Blind Spot Information System aids you
in detecting vehicles that may have entered
the blind spot zone (A). The detection area
is on both sides of your vehicle, extending
rearward from the exterior mirrors to
approximately 10 feet (3 meters) beyond the
bumper. The system alerts you if certain
vehicles enter the blind spot zone while
driving.
Cross Traffic Alert warns you of vehicles
approaching from the sides when the
transmission is in Reverse (R).
Note:
The Blind Spot Information System
does not prevent contact with other vehicles
or objects; nor detect parked vehicles,
people, animals or infrastructure (fences,
guardrails, trees, etc.). It only alerts you to
vehicles in the blind zones.
Note: When a vehicle passes quickly through
the blind zone, typically fewer than two
seconds, the system does not trigger. Using the Systems
The Blind Spot Information System turns on
when you start the engine and you drive your
vehicle forward above 3 mph (5 km/h); it
remains on while the transmission is in Drive
(D) and Neutral (N). If shifted out of Drive (D)
or Neutral (N), the system enters cross traffic
alert mode. Once shifted back into Drive (D),
the Blind Spot Information System turns back
on when you drive your vehicle above 3 mph
(5 km/h).
Note:
The Blind Spot Information System
does not function in Reverse (R) or Park (P)
or provide any additional warning when a
turn signal is on.
Cross Traffic Alert detects approaching
vehicles from up to 45 feet (14 meters) away
though coverage decreases when the
sensors are blocked. Reversing slowly helps
increase the coverage area and
effectiveness.

System Lights and Messages
The Blind Spot Information and Cross Traffic
Alert systems illuminate a yellow alert
indicator in the outside mirror on the side of
your vehicle the approaching vehicle is
coming from.
Note:
The alert indicator dims when the
system detects nighttime darkness.
Cross Traffic Alert also sounds a series of
tones and a message appears in the
information display indicating a vehicle is
coming from the right or left. Cross Traffic
Alert works with the reverse sensing system
that sounds its own series of tones. See
Parking Aid (page 191). System Sensors WARNING
Just prior to the system recognizing a
blocked condition and alerting the
driver, the number of missed objects will
increase. To help avoid injuries, NEVER use
the Blind Spot Information System as a
replacement for using the side and rear view
mirrors or looking over your shoulder before
changing lanes. The Blind Spot Information
System is not a replacement for careful
driving. Note:
It is possible to get a blockage warning
with no blockage present; this is rare and
known as a false blockage warning. A false
blocked condition either self-corrects or
clears after a key cycle. The system uses radar sensors that are
located behind the bumper fascia on each
side of your vehicle. Do not allow mud, snow
or bumper stickers to obstruct these areas,
this can cause degraded system
performance.
If the system detects a degraded
performance condition, a message warning
of a blocked sensor or low visibility will
appear in the information display along with
a warning indicator. You can clear the
information display warning but the warning
indicator will remain illuminated.
