BLIND SPOT MONITORING
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located inside the
rear bumper fascia, to detect Highway licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motor-
cycles etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system warning light, located in the outside mirrors, will
illuminate if a vehicle moves into a blind spot zone.
The BSM system can also be configured to sound an audible (chime) alert and mute the
radio to notify you of objects that have entered the detection zones.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
EIGHT-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The transmission gear range (PRNDM) is displayed both on the shift lever and in the Driver
Information Display (DID).
To select a gear range, press the lock button on the shift lever and move the lever rearward
or forward. You must also press the brake pedal to shift the transmission out of PARK, or
to shift from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or REVERSE when the vehicle is stopped or moving at
low speeds (refer to “Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock System” in this section). Select
the DRIVE range for normal driving.
The electronically-controlled transmission
provides a precise shift schedule. The
transmission
electronics are self-
calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts on
a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt.
This is a normal condition, and precision
shifts will develop within a few hundred
miles (kilometers).
Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or RE-
VERSE when the accelerator pedal is re-
leased and the vehicle is stopped. Be sure
to keep your foot on the brake pedal when
shifting between these gears.
The transmission shift lever has PARK, RE-
VERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, and MANUAL
(Autostick) shift positions. Manual shifts
can be made using the Autostick shift con-
trol (refer to “AutoStick” in this section for
further information). Toggling the shift lever
forward (-) or rearward (+) while in the MANUAL (AutoStick) position (beside the DRIVE
position) will manually select the transmission gear, and will display the current gear in
the instrument cluster as M1, M2, M3, etc. Transmission Shift Lever
