Autowipers

*

The wipers operate when the system detects moisture on  

the windshield. 
•    Low sensitivity: The wipers automatically operate  

when the sensor detects a large amount of moisture on  

the windshield. 

•   High sensitivity: The wipers automatically operate  

when the sensor detects a small amount of moisture on  

the windshield. 

Note: 

Keep the outside of the windshield clean. Dirt, bugs and 

excessive road debris can prevent it from detecting rain. 

To Reduce Smearing, We Recommend the Following:

•  Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers.
•  Switch to normal or high-speed wipe.
•  Switch the autowipers off.

Note: 

Make sure you switch off the windshield wipers before 

entering a car wash.

Cross Traffic Alert

*

This system is designed to warn you of vehicles approaching 

from the sides when the transmission is in reverse (R). It 

detects vehicles that approach at speeds of up to 37 mph  

(60 km/h). The system illuminates an amber alert indicator  

in the outside mirror on the side of your vehicle from which 

the approaching vehicle is coming. In addition, cross traffic 

alert also sounds an audible alert and a message appears in 

the information display indicating a vehicle is coming from the 

right or left.

Note: 

Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where  

the vehicle is moving. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for safety 

information, more details and limitations.

Lane Keeping System

*

When you switch the system on and the system detects 

an unintentional drift out of your lane is likely to occur, the 

system notifies or assists you to stay in your lane through 

the steering system and information display. Depending on 

the feature operation mode you select, the system provides 

a warning by vibrating the steering wheel (Alert Mode) or a 

steering assistance (Aid Mode) by gently counter steering your 

vehicle back into the lane. The system can also provide both 

warning (vibrating the steering wheel) and steering assistance 

(gently counter steering your vehicle back into the lane) while 

Aid+Alert mode is selected.
You can switch the system on or off by pressing the button on 

the Direction Indicator.
Refer to the 

Driving Aids

 chapter of your 

Owner’s Manual

 for 

system operation and limitations.

Automatic High Beam Control

*

 

The system turns on high beams if it is dark enough and no 

other traffic is present. If it detects an approaching vehicle’s 

headlamps or tail lamps, or street lighting ahead, the system 

turns off high beams before they can distract other road users. 

Low beams remain on.

Adaptive Cruise Control

*

Adjusts your vehicle speed to a set gap between you and the 

vehicle in front of you in the same lane. You can select from 

one of four gap settings. Refer to the

 Cruise Control 

chapter  

of your

 Owner’s Manual 

for more information. 

Note:

 Driving aids do not replace the need to watch where 

the vehicle is moving and brake when necessary. Refer to your 

Owner’s Manual for safety information, more details  

and limitations.

Blind Spot Information System (BLIS

®

)

*

 

BLIS aids you in detecting vehicles that enter into your blind 

spot zone. The system displays an amber indicator light in  

your exterior mirrors. Refer to the 

Driving Aids

 chapter in  

your 

Owner’s Manual

 for more information.
