MIRRORS
AUTOMATIC DIMMING
MIRROR
This mirror automatically adjusts for
headlight glare from vehicles behind
you.
NOTE: This feature is disabled
when the vehicle is moving in re-
verse.CAUTION!To avoid damage to the mirror dur-
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 and a slight
overlap of the view obtained from the
inside mirror.
NOTE: The passenger side con-
vex outside mirror will give a
much wider view to the rear, and
especially of the lane next to your
vehicle.WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in
the passenger side convex mirror
will look smaller and farther away
than they really are. Relying too
much on your passenger side con-
vex mirror could cause you to col-
lide with another vehicle or other
object. Use your inside mirror when
judging the size or distance of a
vehicle seen in the passenger side
convex mirror.OUTSIDE MIRRORS
FOLDING FEATURE
Vehicles are equipped with mirrors
that are hinged. The hinge allows the
mirror to pivot forward and rearward
to resist damage. The hinge has three
detent positions: full forward, full
rearward and normal.
DRIVER'S AUTOMATIC
DIMMING MIRROR
This feature is controlled by the inside
automatic dimming mirror and will
automatically adjust for headlight
glare when the inside mirror adjusts.
NOTE: This feature is also avail-
able on the passenger's side when
equipped with turn signal and
approach lighting.

OUTSIDE MIRRORS
WITH TURN SIGNAL AND
APPROACH LIGHTING
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
Driver and passenger outside mirrors
with turn signals located within the
mirror housing and approach lighting
located within mirror glass contain
five LEDs.
Three of the LEDs are turn signal
indicators, which flash with the corre-
sponding turn signal lights in the
front and rear of the vehicle. Turning
on the Hazard Warning flashers will
also activate these LEDs.The other two LEDs supply illumi-
nated entry lighting, which turns on in
both mirrors when you use the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter or
open any door. These LEDs shine out-
ward to illuminate the front and rear
door handles. They also shine down-
ward to illuminate the area in front of
the doors.The Illuminated Entry lighting fades
to off after about 30 seconds or it willfade to off immediately once the igni-
tion is placed into the RUN position.
NOTE:
The approach lighting will
not function when the shift lever is
moved out of the PARK position.
TILT MIRRORS IN
REVERSE (for versions/
markets, where provided)Tilt Mirrors in Reverse provides auto-
matic outside mirror positioning which
will aid the driver’s view of the ground
rearward of the front doors. The out-
side mirrors will move slightly down-
ward from the present position when
the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE.
The outside mirrors will then return to
the original position when the vehicle is
shifted out of the REVERSE position.
Each stored memory setting will have
an associated Tilt Mirrors in Reverse
position.NOTE:
 The Tilt Mirrors in Reverse fea- ture is not turned on when deliv-
ered from the factory. The Tilt
Mirrors in Reverse feature can
be turned on and off using the
Uconnect Touch™ System.  Refer to “Uconnect Touch™ Set-
tings” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further

BLIND SPOT
MONITORING
(for versions/markets,
where provided)The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) sys-
tem 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 vehicle.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 vehicleis in any forward gear or REVERSE
and 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. The zone starts at the
outside rear view mirror and extends
approximately 6 m to the rear of the
vehicle. The BSM system monitors
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
vehicles 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 vehicle
is towing a trailer. Therefore,
visually verify the adjacent lane
is clear for both your vehicle and
trailer before making a lane
change. If the trailer or other
object (i.e., bicycle, sports equip-
ment) extends beyond the side of
your vehicle, this may result in
the BSM warning light remaining
illuminated the entire time the
vehicle is in a forward 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.).
Rear Detection Zones
BSM Warning Light
70

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.
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.Sensor Location (Driver Side Shown)
Side MonitoringRear Monitoring
Overtaking/Approaching
71

The BSM system is designed not to
issue an alert on stationary objects
such as guardrails, posts, walls, foli-
age, berms, etc. However, occasionally
the system may alert on such objects.
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
system is not designed to detect pe-
destrians, bicyclists, or animals.
Even if your vehicle is equipped
with the BSM system, always check
your vehicle's mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use your turn
signal before changing lanes. Fail-
ure to do so can result in serious
injury or death.REAR CROSS PATH
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is
intended to aid the drivers when
backing 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,
oncoming 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 reducing the radio volume.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 Uconnect Touch™
System. Refer to “Uconnect Touch™
Settings” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further infor-
mation.
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 volume is reduced.
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) volume will be reduced.
NOTE:
 Whenever an audible alert is
requested by the BSM system,
the radio volume is reduced.
 If the hazard flashers are on, the system will request the ap-
propriate visual alert only.
When the system is in RCP, the system
shall respond with both visual and
audible alerts when a detected 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
audible chime.
73

Blind Spot Alert OffWhen 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 current operating mode when
the vehicle is shut off. Each time
the vehicle is started, the previously
stored mode will be recalled and
used.
Astronomy Zone — System
Temporarily Unavailable
The astronomy zone is when the ve-
hicles sensors cannot receive the sig-
nal of another vehicle approaching
due to interference in the reception of
the wavelength signal. When the ve-
hicle enters this zone the blind spot
system will become temporarily un-
available and the EVIC will display
the message “ Blind spot system
unavailable-Astronomy zone”. The
side mirrors LED’s will be lit up and
stay lit until the vehicle exits the zone. UCONNECT™ PHONE
