ACTIVE PARK ASSIST*
The system detects an available parallel parking space and automatically \
steers the vehicle into that space
(hands-free) while you control the accelerator, gearshift and brakes. The system visually and audibly instructs
you to park the vehicle.
- To start active park assist, press the AUTO |P| button. Use the direction indicator to indicate which side of
the vehicle you want the system to search on. If the direction indicator 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 AUTO |P| button again.
For complete information, refer to the Parking Aids chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
REAR VIEW CAMERA
The system displays what is behind your vehicle when you place the transm\
ission in reverse (R). The system
uses three types of guides to help you see what is behind your vehicle:
- Active guidelines*: Show the intended path of your vehicle when reversing. These guidelines are only
available when the transmission is in reverse (R). 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.
- Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path your vehicle is moving in while reversing in a str\
aight line. This
can be helpful when backing into a parking space or aligning your vehicle with another object b\
ehind you.
- Centerline: Helps align the center of your vehicle with an object (for example, a trailer).
Note: Mud, water or debris obstructs the camera’s view. Clean the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and
non-abrasive cleaner. The camera is on the liftgate.
Note: For complete information, refer to the Parking Aids chapter of your Owner’s Manual. Visibility
aids do not replace the need to watch where the vehicle is moving. The driver is always responsible
for controlling the vehicle, supervising the system and intervening, if \
required. Refer to your Owner’s
Manual for safety information, more details and limitations.

COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM
This system is designed to alert you of certain collision risks. The system’s
sensor detects your vehicle’s rapid approach to other vehicles traveling in
the same direction as your vehicle. When your vehicle rapidly approaches
another vehicle, a red warning light flashes and a tone sounds.
The brake support system assists you in reducing any collision speed
by pre-charging the brakes. If the risk of collision continues to increase
after the audio-visual warning, the brake support prepares the brake
system for rapid braking. The system does not automatically activate the
brakes, but if the brake pedal is pressed even lightly, the brakes apply full
stopping power.
You can adjust the warning system’s sensitivity through your information
display. See the Driving Aids chapter in your Owner’s Manual for details.



ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL *
Adjusts your vehicle speed to maintain the set gap between you and the
vehicle in front of you in the same lane. You can decrease or increase the
distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front by pressing the
gap control ▼ or ▲. Each time you start the vehicle, the system selects
the last chosen gap. Refer to the Cruise Control chapter of your Owner’s
Manual for more information.
REAR PARKING AID
This system sounds a warning tone if there is an obstacle near the
vehicle’s rear bumper when the vehicle is in reverse (R) and is traveling
less than 3 mph (5 km/h). The warning tone increases in frequency as
the object gets closer.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM (BLIS®)
AND CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT *
BLIS uses radar sensors to help
you determine if a vehicle may
be in your blind spot zone. Cross
Traffic Alert is designed to warn
you of vehicles approaching
from the sides when the
transmission is in reverse (R).
Both features display an amber indicator light in your exterior mirrors.
Cross traffic alert also sounds an alarm and displays messages to warn\

you from which direction vehicles are approaching. See the Driving Aids
chapter in your Owner’s Manual for more information.
Note: Driving aids do not replace the need to watch where the
vehicle is moving and brake where necessary. Refer to your
Owner’s Manual for safety information, more details and limitations.
