The All-Wheel Drive (AWD) LOCK switch is
located on the instrument panel. The AWD
LOCK indicator light will illuminate when
the switch is turned on. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Warning lights, indicator
lights and audible reminders” in this sec-
tion and “AWD Lock Switch Operations” in
the “Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
Each time you push the switch, the AWD
mode will switch: AUTO →LOCK → AUTO.
The Rear Door Alert system functions un-
der certain conditions to indicate there
may be an object or passenger in the rear
seat(s). Check the seat(s) before exiting the
vehicle.
The Rear Door Alert system is initially dis-
abled. The driver can enable the system
using the vehicle information display. For
additional information, refer to “Vehicle in-
formation display warnings and indicators”
in this section.
When the system is enabled:
∙ The system is activated when a rear
door is opened and closed approxi-
mately 10 minutes before the vehicle is
started. When the vehicle is started and
the system is activated, a visual mes-
sage appears in the vehicle information
display. For additional information, refer
to “Rear Door Alert is activated” in this
section.
∙ If a rear door is opened and closed but
the vehicle is not started within approxi-
mately 10 minutes, the system will not
be activated. A rear door must be
opened and closed and the car started
within 10 minutes for the system to ac-
tivate.
When the Rear Door Alert system is acti-
vated and a driver exits the vehicle after
arriving at a destination:
∙ When the driver puts the vehicle in the P
(Park) position, a message appears in
the vehicle information display for a
driver to “Dismiss Message” or “Disable
Alert” if desired.
∙ With the system enabled, when the
driver exits the vehicle, an audible alert
(horn sound) will occur unless a rear
door is opened and closed within a
short time to deactivate the alert.
∙ If the doors are locked before the alert is
deactivated by opening a rear door, the
horn will sound.
∙ If the system is activated but the rear
liftgate is opened before opening a rear
door, the horn will be delayed until after
the liftgate is closed.
∙ If the audible horn alert occurs, a mes-
sage will also appear in the vehicle in-
formation display that states, “Check
Rear Seat for All Articles”.
