Note:
It is possible to get a blockage
warning with no blockage present; this
is rare and known as a false blockage
warning. A false blocked condition
either self-corrects or clears after a key
cycle. The system uses radar sensors which
are located behind the bumper fascia
on each side of your vehicle. Do not
allow these areas to become
obstructed by mud, snow or bumper
stickers, as this can cause degraded
system performance.
If the system detects a degraded
performance condition, a message
warning of a blocked sensor or a
message warning of low visibility will
appear in the information display and
the alert indicator illuminates in the
appropriate mirror(s). The information
display warning can be cleared but
the alert indicator remains
illuminated.
When the blockage is removed, the
system can be reset in two ways:
•
when at least two objects are
detected while driving, or
• turn the ignition from on to off,
then back on. If the blockage is still present after the
key cycle, the system senses again
that it is blocked after driving in traffic. Reasons for messages being
displayed
Clean the fascia area in front of the radar or
remove the obstruction.
The radar
surface is dirty or
obstructed
Drive normally in trafficfor a few minutes to
allow the radar to detect
passing vehicles so it can clear the blocked state.
The radar
surface is not dirty or
obstructed
No action required. Thesystem automatically
resets to an unblocked
state once the rainfall or snowfall rate decreases
or stops. Do not use BLIS or cross traffic alert in these conditions.
Heavy
rainfall/
snowfall
interferes with the radar
signals
System Limitations
The BLIS and cross traffic alert
systems do have their limitations;
situations such as severe weather
conditions or debris build-up on the
sensor area may limit vehicle
detection.

The braking system of the tow
vehicle is rated for operation at the
GVWR not GCWR.
Separate functioning brake
systems are required for safe
control of towed vehicles and
trailers weighing more than 1500
pounds (680 kilograms) when
loaded.
Trailer Lamps
Trailer lamps are required on most
towed vehicles. Make sure all running
lights, brake lights, turn signals and
hazard lights are working. Contact
your authorized dealer or trailer rental
agency for proper instructions and
equipment for hooking up the lamps.
Before Towing a Trailer
Practice turning, stopping and
backing-up to get the feel of the
vehicle-trailer combination before
starting on a trip. When turning, make
wider turns so the trailer wheels clear
curbs and other obstacles.
When Towing a Trailer
•
Do not drive faster than 70 mph
(113 km/h) during the first 500
miles (800 kilometers).
• Do not make full-throttle starts.
• Check your hitch, electrical
connections and trailer wheel lug
nuts thoroughly after you have
traveled 50 miles (80 kilometers). •
When stopped in congested or
heavy traffic during hot weather,
place the gearshift in position P to
aid engine and transmission
cooling and to help A/C
performance.
• Turn off the speed control with
heavy loads or in hilly terrain. The
speed control may turn off
automatically when you are towing
on long, steep grades.
• Shift to a lower gear when driving
down a long or steep hill. Do not
apply the brakes continuously, as
they may overheat and become
less effective.
• If your transmission is equipped
with a grade assist or Tow/Haul
feature, use this feature when
towing. This provides engine
braking and helps eliminate
excessive transmission shifting for
optimum fuel economy and
transmission cooling.
• Allow more distance for stopping
with a trailer attached. Anticipate
stops and brake gradually.

Towing

Auto Zoom
Press the green bar to access map
mode, then select the + or - zoom
button to bring up the zoom level and
Auto buttons on the touchscreen.
When the Auto button is pressed,
Auto Zoom is turned on and Auto is
displayed in the bottom left corner of
the screen. The map zoom level then
synchronizes with vehicle speed. The
slower the vehicle is traveling, the
farther in the map is zoomed in; the
faster the vehicle is traveling, the
farther the map is zoomed out. To turn
the feature off, just press the + or -
button again.
Map Icons
Vehicle mark shows the
current location of the
vehicle. It stays in the center
of the map display, except
when in scroll mode. Scroll cursor
allows you to
scroll the map; the icon is fixed
in the center of the screen. The
map position closest to the cursor is
in a window on the top center part of
the screen. Address book entry default
icon(s)
indicates the location
on the map of an address book
entry. This is the default symbol
shown after the entry has been stored
to the Address Book by any method
other than the map. A different icon
can be selected from the 22 icons
available; each icon can be used more
than once. Home
indicates the location
on the map currently stored as
the home position. Only one
entry from the Address Book
can be saved as Home. This icon
cannot be changed. POI (Point Of Interest)
icons
can be displayed on the
map and can be turned on or
off. There are about 56 subcategories
of POIs that can be selected to be
displayed on the map one at a time. Starting point
indicates the
starting point of a planned
route. Waypoint
indicates the
location of a waypoint on the
map. The number inside the
circle is different for each
waypoint and represents the position
of the waypoint in the route list. Destination symbol indicates
the ending point of a planned
route.
Next maneuver point
indicates the location of the
next turn on the planned route.
No GPS symbol indicates that
insufficient GPS satellite
signals are available for
accurate map positioning. This
icon may be intermittently displayed
under normal operation in an area
with poor GPS access.

Volume Setting: Do not raise the
volume excessively. Keep the volume
at a level where you can still hear
outside traffic and emergency signals
while driving. Driving while unable to
hear these sounds could cause an
accident.
Use of Speech Recognition
Functions:
Speech recognition
software is inherently a statistical
process which is subject to errors. It is
your responsibility to monitor any
speech recognition functions included
in the system and address any errors.
Navigation Features: Any navigation
features included in the system are
intended to provide turn by turn
instructions to get you to a desired
destination. Please make certain all
persons using this system carefully
read and follow instructions and
safety information fully.
Distraction Hazard:
Any navigation
features may require manual
(non-verbal) setup. Attempting to
perform such set-up or insert data
while driving can seriously distract
your attention and could cause an
accident or other serious
consequences. Stop the vehicle in a
safe and legal manner before
attempting these operations. Let Your Judgment Prevail:
Any
navigation features are provided only
as an aid. Make your driving decisions
based on your observations of local
conditions and existing traffic
regulations. Any such feature is not a
substitute for your personal judgment.
Any route suggestions made by this
system should never replace any local
traffic regulations or your personal
judgment or knowledge of safe driving
practices.
Route Safety:
Do not follow the
route suggestions if doing so would
result in an unsafe or illegal maneuver,
if you would be placed in an unsafe
situation, or if you would be directed
into an area that you consider unsafe.
The driver is ultimately responsible for
the safe operation of the vehicle and
therefore, must evaluate whether it is
safe to follow the suggested
directions.
Potential Map Inaccuracy:
Maps
used by this system may be
inaccurate because of changes in
roads, traffic controls or driving
conditions. Always use good judgment
and common sense when following
the suggested routes.
Emergency Services: Do not rely on
any navigation features included in
the system to route you to emergency
services. Ask local authorities or an
emergency services operator for these
locations. Not all emergency services
such as police, fire stations, hospitals
and clinics are likely to be contained
in the map database for such
navigation features.
