Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The system uses radar sensors which arelocated behind the bumper fascia on eachside of your vehicle. Do not allow mud,snow or bumper stickers to obstruct theseareas, this can cause degraded systemperformance.
If the system detects a degradedperformance condition, a message warningof a blocked sensor or low visibility willappear in the information display alongwith a warning indicator. You can clear theinformation display warning but thewarning indicator will remain illuminated.
When you remove a blockage, you canreset the system in two ways:
•While driving, the system detects atleast two objects.
•You cycle the ignition from on to offand then back on.
If the blockage is still present after the keycycle and driving in traffic, check again fora blockage.
Reasons for messages being displayed
Clean the fascia area in frontof the radar or remove theobstruction.
The radarsurface isdirty orobstructed
Drive normally in traffic fora few minutes to allow theradar to detect passingvehicles so it can clear theblocked state.
The radarsurface isnot dirty orobstructed
No action required. Thesystem automatically resetsto an unblocked state oncethe rainfall or snowfall ratedecreases or stops. Do notuse the Blind Spot Informa-tion System or Cross TrafficAlert in these conditions.
Heavy rain-fall orsnowfallinterfereswith theradarsignals
Detection Limitations
There may be instances where the systemwill not always detect vehicles enteringand exiting the blind spot zone.
Instances which may cause non-detection:
•Debris build up on the rear bumperpanels in the area of the sensors.
•Certain maneuvering of vehiclesentering and exiting the blind spotzone.
•Vehicles passing through the blind spotzone at high speed.
•Severe weather conditions.
•Several vehicles passing through theblind spot zone following each otherclosely.

To restore the correct operationof the system, you must have the repaired
road wheel and tire assembly refitted toyour vehicle.
When You Believe the System is NotOperating Correctly
The main function of the system is to warnyou when the tire pressures are low. It canalso warn you in the event the system isno longer capable of operating correctly.See the following chart for informationconcerning the system:

1.Make sure tires are at the correctpressure. See Wheels and Tires(page 260). The tire pressures are alsoon the tire inflation pressure label(located on the edge of driver dooror the B-Pillar).
2.After inflating the tires to the correctpressure you must carry out the tirepressure monitoring system resetprocedure. See Tire PressureMonitoring System ResetProcedure in this chapter.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Tire Pressure Monitoring SystemReset Procedure
Overview
You must carry out the system resetprocedure after each tire replacement oradjustment of the tire pressures.
To maintain your vehicle load carryingcapability, your vehicle requires differenttire pressures in the front tires comparedto the rear tires.
The system illuminates the warning lampat different pressures for the front and reartires.
The tires need to be periodically rotatedto provide consistent performance andmaximum tire life, the system needs toknow when the tires have been rotated todetermine which set of tires are on thefront and rear axles. With this information,the system can detect and correctly warnof low tire pressures.
Carrying Out the System ResetProcedure
Switch the ignition on. Using theinformation display control select:
Description and ActionMessage
Press the OK button.Settings
Press the OK button.Driver assist
Press and hold the OK button until confirmation appears.Alternatively, if your vehicle has a tire pressure monitoringsystem reset button, press and hold the button untilconfirmation appears.
Tire Monitor
How Temperature Affects the TirePressures
Under normal driving conditions tirepressures may increase by up to 4 psi(0.3 bar) from a cold start situation.
If the vehicle is stationary overnight andthe temperature significantly lower thanthe daytime temperature, tire pressuresmay decrease by up to 3 psi (0.2 bar) whenthere is a drop in the ambient temperatureof 63°F (17°C) or more. The systemdetects this pressure decrease as beingsignificantly below the correct inflationpressure and the warning lamp illuminates.
When Inflating the Tires
When inflating the tires the system maynot respond immediately to the air addedto the tires.
If the Warning Lamp is On:
1.Check each tire to verify that none areflat.
2.If one or more tires are flat, repair asnecessary.
3.Check the tire pressures and inflate allthe tires to the correct pressure.
4.Carry out the tire pressure monitoringsystem reset procedure.
