illumination, parking lights, side marker lights, tail lights, and license plate lights.

Illumination Brightness

(in the

position), and ambient light is low,
rotating the illumination
brightness dial on the instrument
panel upward will make the
instrument panel illumination
brighter. When the dial is fully
rotated upward (dots aligned), the
instrument panel illumination
stays at full brightness. Rotating
the dial downward dims the
instrument panel illumination.
When the ambient light is bright,
the illumination brightness is set
to the maximum regardless of the position of the control dial.

Blind Spot Detection / Rear Cross Traffic Alert OFF
BSD/RCTA can be turned on or off in the
Center Information Display (CID):
1Select the “Car Settings” icon.
2In the “Driving Assistance” menu, select
“BSD/RCTA” to turn the function on or
off.
When this function is off, a yellow BSD/RCTA OFF indicator will be
displayed in Combination Meter Display (CMD).
HIGH BEAM ASSIST (HBA)
This function uses the EyeSight®cameras to automatically switch the
headlights between high and low beam settings, enhancing safety for
both you and other drivers on the road. To activate High Beam Assist,
set the headlight control switch to the “AUTO” position and push the
headlight lever forward to the high beam position. The green HBA
indicator illuminates on the Combination Meter.
HBA automatically activates the high beams when the forward area is dark, there are no
preceding/oncoming vehicles or sharp curves in the road, and your speed is approximately
20 mph or greater. When an preceding/oncoming vehicle is detected, the forward area is
bright, your speed decreases to 10 mph or less, or the EyeSight
®system is malfunctioning
or is temporarily stopped, HBA automatically switches to low beams.

STEERING RESPONSIVE HEADLIGHTS (SRH)
The Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH) system aims the headlight beams in the
direction you are steering, improving visibility at corners and intersections when driving at
night. You can turn the SRH system on or off in the Center Information Display through the
“Car Settings” icon.
REVERSE AUTOMATIC BRAKING (RAB)(if equipped)
This system uses four rear bumper mounted
sonar sensors to detect objects when moving
between 1 and 9 mph in reverse. RAB uses
the Rear-Vision Camera image to display
colored proximity alerts when an object is
detected. As an object becomes closer to the
rear of your vehicle, audible beeps provide
additional awareness in progressive levels.
If RAB determines that a collision with an
object is possible, the system can
automatically apply the brakes to help prevent
or minimize the impact.
Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) OFF
In some cases, such as connecting a trailer, it may be helpful to temporarily turn the
system off. RAB can be turned off using the touchscreen buttons on the lower corners
when the select lever is in the “R” position.
Select and hold the “RAB ON” button in the lower part of the touchscreen
until it changes to “RAB OFF” to disable the automatic braking functions of
the RAB system.
Select and hold the “P))) ON” button in the lower part of the touchscreen until
it changes to “P))) OFF” to disable the audible beeping of the RAB system.
