DRIVING

Blind Spot Information (BSI)*

Alerts you to a detected vehicle in your left or right blind spot.
When a vehicle is detected in your blind spot, the
blind spot indicator turns on and stays lit until the
area is clear.
When your turn signal is on and a vehicle is detected,
the blind spot indicator blinks and a beep sounds until
the area is clear or the turn signal is off.
Changing Settings
Change the alert type, or turn the system on or off. Use the interface dial to make
selections.
1. Press the SETTINGS button.
2. Select Vehicle Settings. The vehicle must be in
Park (P).
3. Select Blind Spot Info.
4. Select an alert type, or Off.
5. Press the BACK button to exit the menu.
WARNING
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to change lanes before doing so may
result in a crash and serious injury or death. Do not rely only on the blind
spot information system when changing lanes.
Always look in your mirrors, to either side of your vehicle, and behind you for
other vehicles before changing lanes.
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, BSI has limitations. Over-reliance on BSI may result in a
collision. The system is for your convenience only.

Parking Sensor System*

When the system senses an object when you are parking or backing up, an indicator
appears on the upper display and a series of beeps will sound. As you get closer to
the object, the beep rate increases.
BSI alert
indicator
Turning the System On or Off
Press the parking sensor button. A green indicator
light appears on the button when the system is on.
Super Handling-All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD)*
Controls and transfers varying amounts of engine torque to each wheel depending
on driving conditions.
SH-AWD helps enhance stability in driving situations involving slippery surfaces,
such as on wet, icy, or snowy roads. The system does not help enhance braking. It is
still your responsibility to drive safely when you steer, accelerate, and apply brakes.
Leave sufficient distance in front of you when braking on slippery surfaces.
NOTICE
Do not continuously spin the front tires of your vehicle. Continuously spinning
the front tires can cause damage to the transmission and SH-AWD unit.
If the SH-AWD light blinks while driving, it indicates the differential temperature
is too high. If this happens, pull to the side of the road when it is safe, shift to
park, and idle the engine until the indicator goes out.
