NEW SYSTEM FEATURES
BLIND SPOT WARNING (BSW) (if so equipped)
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system helps
alert the driver when another vehicle moves into
the vehicle’s blind spot area.
An indicator light 1 near the outside mirror will
illuminate if the radar sensors detect a vehicle in
the detection zone.
The indicator light 2 will first illuminate in
orange and then turn green before extinguishing.
This indicates that the Blind Spot Warning
(BSW) system is operational.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)”
of your Owner’s Manual.
REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA)* (if so equipped)
The RCTA system helps to alert the driver of an
approaching vehicle when the driver is backing out of
a parking space. The system operates when the shift
lever is in R (REVERSE) position and the vehicle
speed is less than approximately 5 mph (8 km/h).
The radar sensors detect an approaching
vehicle from up to 66 ft. (20 m). The sensors are
located on both sides near the rear bumper. The
system gives visual and audible warnings if an
approaching vehicle is detected.
The RCTA system can be turned on or off
temporarily by pushing the Blind Spot Warning
and Rear Cross Traffic Alert switch 1 .
The RCTA system can be turned on or off
permanently through the Driver Aids menu 2 in the vehicle information display.
*Not a substitute for proper backing procedures. May not detect all moving vehicles. Speed and other limitations apply.
See your Owner’s Manual for details.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.
HILL DESCENT CONTROL (HDC) SYSTEM (if so equipped)
The Hill Descent Control system is designed to
reduce driver workload when going down steep hills.
The Hill Descent Control system helps to control
vehicle speed so the driver can concentrate on
steering the vehicle. To activate the system:
The 4WD shift switch must be placed in the
LOCK 1 position and the vehicle speed must
be under 15 mph (25 km/h) on steeper hill grades.
The Hill Descent Control switch 2
must be on.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.
