CAUTION:
• Make sure vehicle is OFF and take the keyless entry system key with
you when leaving the vehicle.
• When locking doors using inside door switches or inside door-lock
knobs, be careful not to leave the key inside the vehicle.
Key
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with the Advanced Keyless Entry System and the
Keyless Entry System both use the same type of keyless entry transmitter.
However, only vehicles equipped with the Advanced Keyless Entry System allow
you to lock and unlock the doors/liftgate with the door/liftgate request switches
(without taking the key out of your purse or pocket).
Vehicles equipped with the Keyless Entry System do not have request switches
on the doors/liftgate. To lock and unlock the doors/liftgate, the corresponding
transmitter button must be pushed.
NOTE: When the liftgate opener switch is pushed, the liftgate will open slightly. If
the liftgate is not opened within 1.5 seconds, the liftgate latch locks (you will hear it
lock) and the liftgate cannot be opened or closed from this slightly raised position.
To open/close the liftgate, push the liftgate opener switch, open the liftgate within
1.5 seconds, then close it. The door/liftgate ajar warning light will be on if the
liftgate is not fully closed.

Blind Spot Monitoring System
NOTE: Do not rely completely on the BSM system and be sure to look over
your shoulder before changing lanes:
• The BSM system can assist the driver in confirming the safety of the surroundings,
but is not a complete substitute.
• The driver is responsible for ensuring safe lane changes and other maneuvers.
• Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling and the
vehicle’s surroundings.
• The BSM system does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than about
6.2 mph (10 km/h).
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SYSTEM
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver
by monitoring the blind spots to the rear of the vehicle on both sides.
• If your vehicle speed is about 6.2 mph (10 km/h) or more, the BSM
will warn you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the
BSM warning lights located on the left and right door mirrors.
• If you operate a turn signal in the direction of an illuminated BSM warning
light, the system will also warn you with a beep and warning light flash.
• BSM sensors are located under the left and right rear bumper areas.
The BSM system may not operate properly if the rear bumper gets too
dirty, so keep the rear bumper area clean.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
Turning BSM System Off
Turning the BSM system off will turn off both the light and sound
indicators. To manually turn the BSM system off, push the BSM
OFF switch on the dash. The BSM OFF indicator will illuminate
in the instrument cluster when the BSM system is off. The BSM
system will retain the last setting before the ignition was turned off.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert
REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA) (if equipped)
The RCTA is designed to alert the driver of oncoming traffic when
backing out of a parking spot. RCTA is active when your vehicle is in
reverse and your vehicle speed is 0 to 8 mph (13 km/h).
When BSM sensors detect an object moving 3 to 18 mph (5 to 30 km/h),
RCTA will notify the driver with indicators and sound:• Rear View Monitor and outside mirror flashing indications.
• Beep sound (same as BSM).
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.

WARNING: RCTA is only a supplementary system to help aid when backing up ,
however R C TA has limitations. The system does not detect all vehicles, especially
a motorcycle . Do not rely solely on the R C TA . Relying solely on the R C TA may
cause an unexpected accident resulting in serious injury. Always back up slowly.
