dangerous. Do not leave the
vehicle while it is being held
at a stop by ACC. Always
place the vehicle in P (Park)
and turn off the ignition
before leaving the vehicle.
ACC Override
If using the accelerator pedal
while ACC is active, the ACC
indicator turns blue on the

Warning (Continued)
on the accelerator pedal.
You could crash into a
vehicle ahead of you.
Curves in the Road
{Warning
On curves, ACC may not
detect a vehicle ahead in
your lane. You could be
startled if the vehicle
accelerates up to the set
speed, especially when
following a vehicle exiting or
entering exit ramps. You
could lose control of the
vehicle or crash. Do not use
ACC while driving on an
entrance or exit ramp.
Always be ready to use the
brakes if necessary.
{Warning
On curves, ACC may
respond to a vehicle in
another lane, or may not
have time to react to a
vehicle in your lane. You
could crash into a vehicle
ahead of you, or lose control
of your vehicle. Give extra
attention in curves and be
ready to use the brakes if
necessary. Select an
appropriate speed while
driving in curves.
ACC may operate differently
in a sharp curve. It may reduce
the vehicle speed if the curve
is too sharp.
ACC automatically slows the
vehicle down while navigating
the curve and may increase
speed out of the curve, but will
not exceed the set speed.

Left Side
Mirror DisplayRight Side
Mirror Display
When the vehicle is started,
both outside mirror LCA
displays will briefly come on to
indicate the system is
operating. When the vehicle is
in a forward gear, the left or
right side mirror display will
light up if a moving vehicle is
detected in the next lane over
in that blind zone or rapidly
approaching that zone. If the
turn signal is activated in the
same direction as a detected
vehicle, this display will flash
as an extra warning not to
change lanes.
LCA can be disabled through
vehicle settings. When you
disable LCA, Side Blind Zone
Alert is also disabled. To view
available settings from the infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/
Detection Systems. If LCA is
disabled by the driver, the LCA
mirror displays will not light up.When the System Does
Not Seem to Work
Properly
The LCA system requires
some driving for the system to
calibrate to maximum
performance. This calibration
may occur more quickly if the
vehicle is driven on a straight
highway road with traffic and
roadside objects (e.g.,
guardrails, barriers).
LCA displays may not come on
when passing a vehicle quickly,
for a stopped vehicle, or when
towing a trailer. The LCA
detection zones that extend
back from the side of the
vehicle do not move further
back when a trailer is towed.
Use caution while changing
lanes when towing a trailer.
LCA may alert to objects
attached to the vehicle, suchas a trailer, bicycle, or object
extending out to either side of
the vehicle. Attached objects
may also interfere with the
detection of vehicles. This is
normal system operation; the
vehicle does not need service.
LCA may not always alert the
driver to vehicles in the next
lane over, especially in wet
conditions or when driving on
sharp curves. The system
does not need to be serviced.
The system may light up due
to guardrails, signs, trees,
shrubs, and other non-moving
objects. This is normal system
operation; the vehicle does not
need service.
LCA may not operate when
the LCA sensors in the left or
right corners of the rear
bumper are covered with mud,
dirt, snow, ice, or slush, or in
heavy rainstorms. For cleaning
instructions, see "Washing the
Vehicle" under Exterior Care
