BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM)
The BSM system is designed to assist the driver by monitoring blind spots on the left
and right sides of the vehicle in certain situations, such as lane changes.
•
If your vehicle speed is 6 mph 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
(depending on personalization setting, p. 15) and a warning light
will flash.
•
BSM sensors are located under the
left and right rear bumper areas.
The BSM system may not operate properly if the rear bumper is dirty,
so keep the rear bumper area clean
and free of bumper stickers.
NOTE:
•
The BSM 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 does not operate when the vehicle speed is
lower than about 6 mph.
•
The BSM system volume can be adjusted in personalization
settings (p. 15).
Turning BSM System Off:
Turning the BSM system off will turn off both the light and sound indicators. To turn the BSM System off, refer to the "Personalization Features" in the Owner's Manual.
The BSM OFF indicator in the instrument cluster will turn on to indicate the BSM system is off.
NOTE: Turning the BSM system will also turn off the Rear Cross Traffic Alert System.
WARNING:
BSM is only a
supplementary
system to help
aid in monitoring
blind spots;
however, BSM
has limitations.
The system may
not detect all
vehicles, especially
a motorcycle. Do
not rely solely on
the BSM. Relying
solely on the
BSM may cause
an unexpected
accident resulting
in death or serious
injury. Make sure
to look over your
shoulder before
changing lanes.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual
for complete details.

REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
(IF EQUIPPED)
REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA)
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 mph to 9 mph.
When the BSM sensors detect a moving object, the RCTA will notify the driver with indicators and sound:
• Rear view monitor and outside mirror flashing indications.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
WARNING:
RCTA is only a
supplementary
system to help aid
when backing up; however, RCTA
has limitations.
The system does not detect all
vehicles, especially motorcycles. Do
not rely solely on the RCTA. Relying
solely on the RCTA may cause
an unexpected
accident resulting in serious injury.
Always back up slowly.

MANUAL SHIFT MODE

Shift the lever from D to M.
To Shift Up To A Higher Gear:
Tap the shift lever back (+) once.
To Shift Down To A Lower Gear:
Tap the shift lever forward (-) once.
DRIVE SELECTION
SPORT mode will choose a lower gear for increased
acceleration response. It will also hold a lower gear/
delay upshifting when it detects you are braking or
cornering because it anticipates that you will want to
accelerate out of the turn more quickly.

and the SPORT mode indicator light in the instrument
cluster turns on. Push again to turn off.
NOTE: If the SET button of the cruise control is pushed while in SPORT mode, SPORT
