Rear View Camera
This system provides a
video image of the area
behind the vehicle. The
display automatically
appears when the vehicle
is in reverse (R) and uses
green, yellow and red
guides to alert you of your
proximity to objects.
Note: If mud, water or debris
obstructs the camera’s
view, clean the lens with a
soft, lint-free cloth and
non-abrasive cleaner.
SecuriCode™ Keyless
Entry Keypad*
Lock or unlock the doors
and arm or disarm the
anti-theft alarm using the
keypad located near the
driver window.
The keypad is invisible until
you touch it, and then lights
up so you can see and touch
the appropriate buttons.
To unlock the driver
door, enter your five-digit
personal or the factory-

SelectShift
Automatic®
Transmission

SelectShift gearshift lever
from drive (D) to sport
(S). Sport mode utilizes a
unique downshift schedule
to keep the transmission in
lower gears for enhanced
performance and more
aggressive engine braking.
When the vehicle is in sport
mode, it enables a manual
gear selection when you
use the thumb toggle on
the side of the gearshift
lever. Press (+) to upshift,
press (–) to downshift.
Move the gearshift lever
to drive (D) to return to
automatic control.
Blind Spot
Information System

vehicles that may have
entered into your blind
spot zone. Cross traffic
alert warns you of vehicles
approaching from the sides
when the transmission is in
reverse (R).
Both systems display an
amber indicator light in your
exterior mirrors. Cross traffic
alert also sounds tones and
displays messages to warn
you from which direction
vehicles are approaching.

chapter in your Owner’s
Manual for more information.

Speed Dependent
Wipers
When your vehicle speed

Autowipers*
The wipers function when
the system detects moisture
on the windshield, and
adjusts the wiper speed
automatically. Use the
rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the rain sensor.
• Low sensitivity: The wipers
automatically operate
when the sensor detects a
large amount of moisture
on the windshield.
• High sensitivity: The wipers
automatically operate
when the sensor detects a
small amount of moisture
on the windshield.
Note: Keep the outside of the
windshield clean. Dirt, bugs
and excessive road debris can
prevent it from detecting rain. To Reduce Smearing, We
Recommend the Following:
•
Lower the sensitivity of
the autowipers.
• Switch to normal or
high-speed wipe.
• Switch the autowipers off.
Note: Make sure you switch
off the windshield wipers
before entering a car wash.

When you switch on the
front wipers and move the
gearshift lever to reverse
(R), the rear intermittent
wiper automatically
turns on.
To use the rear washer, push
the wiper lever away from
you. When you release the
lever, the rear wiper operates
for a short time.
