REAR VIEW CAMERA*
This system provides a video image of the area behind
the vehicle. The display appears in the touchscreen when
the vehicle is in reverse (R) and uses green, yellow and red
guides to alert you of your proximity to objects.
REAR PARKING AID
This system sounds a warning tone if there is an obstacle
near the vehicle's rear bumper when the vehicle is in
reverse (R) and is traveling less than 3 mph (5 km/h).
The warning tone increases in frequency as the object
gets closer.

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.

STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM
The system helps you keep control of your vehicle when
on a slippery surface. The electronic stability control
portion of the system helps avoid skids and lateral slides,
while the traction control system helps avoid drive wheel
spin and loss of traction.
TRACTION CONTROL
The traction control system helps avoid drive wheel
spin and loss of traction. If your vehicle begins to slide,
the system applies the brakes to individual wheels and,
when needed, reduces engine power at the same time.
If the wheels spin when accelerating on slippery or loose
surfaces, the system reduces engine power in order to
increase traction. In certain situations (for example, if you
are stuck in snow or mud), turning the traction control o
may be benefi cial as this allows the wheels to spin with
full engine power. You can switch this feature o in the
information display or via a switch on the
instrument panel.*

windows is open.
Lower an opposite window slightly to reduce this noise.

with the ambient lighting feature. You can access this
feature through the Settings menu for SYNC 3. Tap a

ambient lighting o , press the active color once or drag
the active color all the way down to zero intensity.
