BLIS
®
(BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM) WITH TRAILER TOW AND
CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT*
BLIS aids you in detecting vehicles that may have entered into your
blind spot zone. The cross traffi c alert feature warns you of vehicles
approaching from the sides when the transmission is in reverse (R).
BLIS and cross traffi c alert will display a yellow indicator light in your
exterior mirrors. Cross traffi c alert will also sound tones and display
messages to warn you from which direction vehicles are approaching. Refer
to the
Driving Aids
chapter in your
Owner’s Manual
for more information.
The Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Tow is designed to aid
you in detecting vehicles that may have entered the detection area zone.
The detection area is on both sides of your vehicle and trailer, extending
rearward from the exterior mirrors to the end of your trailer.
PRE-COLLISION ASSIST WARNING SYSTEM
The Pre-Collision Assist system uses a radar sensor and a camera sensor
to scan the road ahead to detect stationary vehicles, vehicles moving in
the same direction as yours and upright pedestrians in your driving path.
The system is designed to provide an audible and visual alert, brake
support and active braking in order to help the driver reduce impact
damage or avoid the crash completely. The system provides support at
speeds above approximately 3 mph (5 km/h) and support for pedestrians
at speeds up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
For specifi c details on using the system, adjusting the system alert
sensitivity and familiarizing yourself with the system limitations and
warnings, please refer to the
Pre-Collision Assist
chapter in your
Owner's Manual
.
INTELLIGENT ACCESS*
You can unlock and lock the
vehicle without taking the key
out of your pocket or purse
when your intelligent access
key is within 3 feet (1 meter)
of your vehicle. To unlock,
touch the unlock sensor on the
back of the door handle for a
brief period and then pull on the door handle, being careful to not touch
the lock sensor at the same time or pull the door handle too quickly. To
lock, touch the door handle lock sensor on the door for approximately
one second, being careful to not touch the unlock sensor on the back of
the door handle at the same time.
POWER RUNNING BOARDS*
The running boards automatically extend down and out when you open
the door. This can help you enter and exit your vehicle. When you close
the doors, the running boards return to the stowed position after a two-
second delay. To operate the power deploy feature manually, use the
information display. Set the running boards in the deployed position (OUT)
to access the roof. The running boards return to the stowed position and
enter automatic mode when the vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h).
You can enable and disable the power running board feature in the
information display. See the
Information Displays
chapter in your
Owner's Manual
for details.
Note:
Do not use any part of the power running boards to lift your vehicle
when jacking. Always use proper jacking points. See your Owner’s Manual
for details.
