NEW SYSTEM FEATURES
BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) (if so equipped)
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system helps alert the driver when another vehicle moves into
the vehicle’s blind spot area.
An indicator light 1 near the outside mirror will
illuminate if the radar sensors detect a vehicle in
the detection zone.
The indicator light 2 will illuminate after the
ignition switch is ON and the BSW system is
enabled. This indicates that the BSW system
is operational.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)”
of your Owner’s Manual.
REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA)* (if so equipped)
The RCTA system helps to alert the driver of an
approaching vehicle when the driver is backing out of
a parking space. The system operates when the shift
lever is in R (REVERSE) position and the vehicle
speed is less than approximately 5 mph (8 km/h).
The radar sensors detect an approaching
vehicle from up to 66 ft. (20 m). The sensors are
located on both sides near the rear bumper. The
system gives visual and audible warnings if an
approaching vehicle is detected.
The RCTA system can be turned on or off
temporarily by pushing the Blind Spot Warning
and Rear Cross Traffic Alert switch

The RCTA system can be turned on or off
permanently through the Driver Aids menu 2 in the vehicle information display.

LOCK 1 position and the vehicle speed must
be under 15 mph (25 km/h) on steeper hill grades.
The Hill Descent Control switch 2 must be on.For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.
