20 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Auto On Comfort — If Equipped
If the external temperature is below 40 °F (5 °C) at each
start-up of the vehicle the heated steering wheel func-
tionality is turned on.
WARNING!
•Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabe-
tes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use,
exhaustion, or other physical conditions must
exercise care when using the steering wheel
heater. It may cause burns even at low tempera-
tures, especially if used for long periods.
• Do not place anything on the steering wheel that
insulates against heat, such as a blanket or steer-
ing wheel covers of any type and material. This
may cause the steering wheel heater to overheat.
MIRRORS
Inside Day/Night Mirror
The mirror can be adjusted up, down, left, and right.
The mirror should be adjusted to center on the view
through the rear window. Headlight glare from vehicles behind you can be reduced by moving the lever under
the mirror to the night position (toward the rear of the
vehicle). The mirror should be adjusted while the lever
under the mirror is set in the day position (toward the
windshield).
NOTE:
The mirror will automatically release in the
event of heavy contact with a passenger.
Auto Dimming Mirror — If Equipped
This mirror automatically adjusts for headlight glare
from vehicles behind you. You can turn the feature on
or off by pushing the button at the base of the mirror. A
light to the left of the button will illuminate to indicate

when the dimming feature is activated. The sensor to
the right of the button does not illuminate.
NOTE:This feature is disabled when the vehicle is
moving in reverse.
Outside Mirrors
Power Adjustment Mirrors
The power mirror switch is located on the driver ’s door
panel.
To adjust the mirror, push the mirror adjustment switch
in the four directions indicated by arrows. NOTE:

Folding Mirror
The exterior mirrors are hinged to allow the mirror to
pivot forward or rearward to help avoid damage. The
mirror has three detent positions: full forward, normal
and full rearward.
Heated Mirrors — If Equipped
These mirrors are heated to melt frost or ice. This
feature can be activated whenever you turn on
the Rear Window Defroster.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) — IF
EQUIPPED
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two
radar-based sensors, located inside the rear bumper
fascia, to detect highway licensable vehicles (automo-
biles, 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 illuminate in both outside rear view mir-
rors to let the driver know that the system is opera-
tional. The BSM system sensors operate when the

Rear Detection Zones

vehicle is in any forward gear or REVERSE and enters
stand-by mode when the vehicle is in PARK.
The BSM detection zone covers approximately one lane
width on both sides of the vehicle, 10 ft (3 m). The zone
length starts at the outside mirror and extends approxi-
mately 20 ft (6 m) beyond the rear bumper of the
vehicle. The BSM system monitors the detection zones
on both sides of the vehicle when the vehicle speed
reaches approximately 6 mph (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 approaching vehicles that are outside the
detection zones.
• If a trailer is connected to the vehicle, it is necessary
to deactivate BSM system manually by settings menu
to avoid a miss-detection. Refer to “Uconnect Set-
tings” in “Multimedia” for further information.
The area on the rear fascia where the radar sensors are
located must remain free of snow, ice, and dirt/road
contamination so that the BSM system can function properly. Do not block the radar sensors located on the
rear fascia with foreign objects (bumper stickers, bicycle
racks, etc.).
The BSM system notifies the driver of objects in the
detection zones by illuminating the BSM warning light
located in the outside mirrors in addition to sounding
an audible (chime) alert and reducing the radio volume.
Refer to “Modes Of Operation” in this section for
further information.
Rear Sensor Locations
60 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

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 opposite 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 pedestrians,
bicyclists, or animals. Even if your vehicle is
equipped with the BSM system, always check your
vehicles mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and use
your turn signal before changing lanes. Failure to
do so can result in serious injury or death.

Mode Of Operation
Three selectable modes of operation are available in the
Uconnect System. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” for further information.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only
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 object. However,
when the system is operating in Rear Cross Path (RCP)
mode, the system will respond with both visual and
audible alerts when a detected object is present. When-
ever an audible alert is requested, 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
appropriate 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 audible alerts will be issued.
In addition to the audible alert, the radio (if on) will also
be muted.NOTE:
Whenever an audible alert is requested by the
BSM system, the radio is also muted.
When the system is in RCP, the system will respond
with both visual and audible alerts when a detected
object is present. Whenever an audible alert is re-
quested, 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 current operating
mode when the vehicle is shut off. Each time the vehicle
is started the previously stored mode will be recalled
and used.
