ing cleaning, never spray any clean-
ing solution directly onto the mirror.
Apply the solution onto a clean cloth
and wipe the mirror clean.
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
To receive maximum benefit, adjust
the outside mirror(s) to center on the
adjacent lane of traffic with a slight
overlap of the view obtained on the
inside mirror.WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in an
outside convex mirror will look
smaller and farther away than they
really are. Relying too much on side
convex mirrors could cause you to
collide with another vehicle or other
object. Use your inside mirror when
judging the size or distance of a ve-
hicle seen in a side convex mirror.

BLIND SPOT
MONITORING (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
system uses two radar-based sensors,
located inside the rear bumper fascia,
to detect highway licensable vehicles
(automobiles, trucks, motorcycles,
etc.) that enter the blind spot zones
from the rear/front/side of the ve-
hicle.
When the vehicle is started, the BSM
warning light will momentarily illu-
minate in both outside rear view mir-
rors to let the driver know that the
system is operational. The BSM sys-
tem sensors operate when the vehicle
is in any forward gear or REVERSEand enters stand-by mode when the
vehicle is in PARK.
The BSM detection zone covers ap-
proximately one lane on both sides of
the vehicle or 3.35 m. The zone starts
at the outside rear view mirror and
extends approximately 6 m to the rear
of the vehicle. The BSM system moni-
tors the detection zones on both sides
of the vehicle when the vehicle speed
reaches approximately 10 km/h or
higher and will alert the driver of ve-
hicles in these areas.
NOTE:
The BSM system does NOT alert
the driver about rapidly ap-
proaching vehicles that are out-
side the detection zones.
The BSM system detection zone DOES NOT change if your ve-
hicle is towing a trailer. There-
fore, visually verify the adjacent
lane is clear for both your ve-
hicle and trailer before making
a lane change. If the trailer or
other object (i.e., bicycle, sports
equipment) extends beyond the
side of your vehicle, this may re-
sult in the BSM warning light remaining illuminated the en-
tire time the vehicle is in a for-
ward gear.
The area on the rear fascia where the
radar sensors are located must remain
free of snow, ice, and dirt/road con-
tamination so that the BSM system
can function properly. Do not block
the area of the rear fascia where the
radar sensors are located with foreign
objects (bumper stickers, bicycle
racks, etc.).
The BSM system notifies the driver of
objects in the detection zones by illu-
minating the BSM warning light lo-
cated in the outside mirrors in addi-
tion to sounding an audible (chime)
alert and reducing the radio volume.
Refer to “Modes Of Operation” for
further information.

Page 85 of 344
The BSM system monitors the detec-
tion zone from three different entry
points (side, rear, front) while driving
to see if an alert is necessary. The BSM
system will issue an alert during these
types of zone entries.
Entering From The Side
Vehicles that move into your adjacent
lanes from either side of the vehicle.Entering From The Rear
Vehicles that come up from behind
your vehicle on either side and enter
the rear detection zone with a relative
speed of less than 48 km/h.
Overtaking Traffic
If you pass another vehicle slowly
with a relative speed of less than
16 km/h and the vehicle remains in
the blind spot for approximately
1.5 seconds, the warning light will be
illuminated. If the difference in speed
between the two vehicles is greater
than 16 km/h, the warning light will
not illuminate.

The BSM system is designed not to
issue an alert on stationary objects
such as guardrails, posts, walls, foli-
age, berms, etc. However, occasion-
ally the system may alert on such ob-
jects. This is normal operation and
your vehicle does not require service.
The BSM system will not alert you of
objects that are traveling in the oppo-
site direction of the vehicle in adjacent
lanes.
WARNING!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is
only an aid to help detect objects in
the blind spot zones. The BSM sys-
tem is not designed to detect pedes-
trians, bicyclists, or animals. Even if
your vehicle is equipped with the
BSM system, always check your ve-
hicle's mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and use your turn signal
before changing lanes. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury or
death.
REAR CROSS PATH
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is
intended to aid the driver when back-
ing out of parking spaces where their
vision of oncoming vehicles may be
blocked. Proceed slowly and cau-
tiously out of the parking space until
the rear end of the vehicle is exposed.
The RCP system will then have a clear
view of the cross traffic and if an
oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the
driver. RCP monitors the rear detection
zones on both sides of the vehicle, for
objects that are moving toward the
side of the vehicle with a minimum
speed of approximately 1 km/h to
3 km/h, to objects moving a maxi-
mum of approximately 16 km/h, such
as in parking lot situations.
NOTE:
In a parking lot situation, oncom-
ing vehicles can be obscured by
vehicles parked on either side. If
the sensors are blocked by other
structures or vehicles, the system
will not be able to alert the driver.
When RCP is on and the vehicle is in
REVERSE, the driver is alerted using
both the visual and audible alarms,
including radio muting.

WARNING!
RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. It
is intended to be used to help a
driver detect an oncoming vehicle in
a parking lot situation. Drivers must
be careful when backing up, even
when using RCP. Always check care-
fully behind your vehicle, look be-
hind you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, and blind spots before
backing up. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
MODES OF OPERATION
Three selectable modes of operation
are available in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC). Refer to
"Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)/Personal Settings
(Customer-Programmable Fea-
tures)” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further informa-
tion. Blind Spot Alert
When operating in Blind Spot Alert
mode, the BSM system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate side
view mirror based on a detected ob-
ject. However, when the system is op-
erating in RCP, the system will re-
spond with both visual and audible
alerts when a detected object is pres-
ent. Whenever an audible alert is re-
quested, the radio is muted.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert
Lights/Chime mode, the BSM system
will provide a visual alert in the ap-
propriate side view mirror based on a
detected object. If the turn signal is
then activated, and it corresponds to
an alert present on that side of the
vehicle, an audible chime will also be
sounded. Whenever a turn signal and
detected object are present on the
same side at the same time, both the
visual and audio alerts will be issued.
In addition to the audible alert the
radio (if on) will also be muted.NOTE:
Whenever an audible alert is re-
quested by the BSM system, the
radio is also muted.
If the hazard flashers are on, the system will request the appro-
priate visual alert only.
When the system is in RCP, the
system shall respond with both vi-
sual and audible alerts when a de-
tected object is present. Whenever
an audible alert is requested, the
radio is also muted. Turn/hazard
signal status is ignored; the RCP
state always requests the chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off
there will be no visual or audible
alerts from either the BSM or RCP
systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the cur-
rent operating mode when the ve-
hicle is shut off. Each time the ve-
hicle is started the previously
stored mode will be recalled and
used.
