When you are accelerating or maintaining speed you see a blue or white solid bar indicating vehicle power. You may also see a blue rectangular box which shows the power level at which the engine turns on.

• When the power level is within the box, the color of the bar is blue. This means you are in electric operation and the engine is off.
• When the power level is outside of the box, the color of the bar is white. This means you are in hybrid operation with a combination of the electric motor and the engine providing vehicle power.
  When you are decelerating with either your foot off the accelerator pedal or on the brake pedal, a green or white solid bar displays indicating the power being used to slow down your vehicle. You may also see a green rectangular box which shows the amount of power that can be recaptured by the regenerative braking system and returned to the high voltage battery.
• When the power level is within the box, the color of the bar will be all green. This means that the regenerative braking system is being used to efficiently slow your vehicle down and return the maximum percentage of energy to the high-voltage battery. When the power level is outside of the box, then the bar is white. This means both the regenerative braking system and conventional braking system are being used.

Cross Traffic Alert

WHAT IS CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
The system alerts you of vehicles approaching from the sides behind your vehicle when you shift into reverse (R).

HOW DOES CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT WORK
Cross traffic alert detects vehicles that approach at a speed between 4–37 mph (6–60 km/h). Coverage decreases when the sensors are partially, mostly or fully obstructed.
The sensor on the left-hand side is only partially obstructed and zone coverage on the right-hand side is maximized.
Zone coverage also decreases when parking at narrow angles. The sensor on the left-hand side is mostly obstructed and zone coverage on that side is severely reduced.
Note: Slowly reversing helps increase the coverage area and effectiveness.

CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not use the cross-traffic alert system as a replacement for using the interior and exterior mirrors or looking over your shoulder before reversing out of a parking space. The cross-traffic alert system is not a replacement for careful driving.
WARNING: The system may not operate properly during severe weather conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy rain and spray. Always drive with due care and attention. Failure to take care may result in a crash.

CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT LIMITATIONS
The cross-traffic alert may not correctly operate when any of the following occur:

• Something is blocking the sensors.
• Adjacently parked vehicles or objects are obstructing the sensors.
• Vehicles approach at speeds less than 4 mph (6 km/h) or greater than 37 mph (60 km/h).
• Your vehicle speed is greater than 7 mph (12 km/h).
• You reverse out of an angled parking space.

SWITCHING CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT ON AND OFF
To switch cross traffic alert on or off use the touchscreen.

1. Press Settings on the touchscreen.
2. Press Driver Assistance.
3. Switch Cross Traffic Alert on or off.
   Note: The system switches on every time you switch the ignition on. To permanently switch the system off, contact an authorized dealer.

LOCATING THE CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT SENSORS
E205199E205199
The sensors are behind the rear bumper on both sides of your vehicle.
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt.
Note: Do not cover the sensors with bumper stickers, repair compound or other objects.
Note: Blocked sensors could affect system performance.
Note: Bike and cargo racks could cause false alerts due to obstruction of the sensor. We recommend switching the feature off when using a bike or cargo rack.
If the sensors are blocked, a message may appear in the information display when you shift into reverse (R).

CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT INDICATORS
When the cross-traffic alert detects an approaching vehicle, a tone sounds, a warning lamp illuminates in the relevant exterior mirror and arrows appear in the information display to show which side the vehicle is approaching from.
If the system malfunctions, a warning lamp illuminates in the instrument cluster and a message appears in the information display. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Note: If arrows do not display, a message appears in the information display.
Note: In some conditions, the system could alert you, even when there is nothing in the detection zone, for example a vehicle passing further away from your vehicle.
