BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM
Blind Spot Information System (BLIS™)
with Cross Traffic Alert (If Equipped)
WARNING
To help avoid injuries, NEVER use the
Blind Spot Information System as a
replacement for using the interior and
exterior mirrors and looking over your
shoulder before changing lanes. The Blind
Spot Information System is not a replacement
for careful driving. The Blind Spot Information System aids you
in detecting vehicles that may have entered
the blind spot zone (A). The detection area
is on both sides of your vehicle, extending
rearward from the exterior mirrors to
approximately 23 ft (7 m) beyond the bumper.
The system alerts you if certain vehicles
enter the blind spot zone while driving.
WARNING
To help avoid personal injury, NEVER
use the cross traffic alert system as a
replacement for using the interior and
exterior mirrors and looking over your
shoulder before backing out of a parking
space. Cross traffic alert is not a replacement
for careful driving. Cross traffic alert warns you of vehicles
approaching from the sides when the
transmission is in reverse (R).
Note:
The Blind Spot Information System
does not prevent contact with other vehicles
or objects; nor does it detect parked
vehicles, people, animals or infrastructure
(fences, guardrails or trees). It only alerts you
to vehicles in the blind zones. Note:
When a vehicle passes quickly through
the blind zone, the system may not trigger.
Using the Systems
The Blind Spot Information System turns on
when you start the engine and you drive your
vehicle forward above
5 mph (8 km/h), it
remains on while the transmission is in drive
(D) or neutral (N). If shifted into reverse (R),
the system enters cross traffic alert mode.
Once shifted back into drive (D), the Blind
Spot Information System turns back on when
you drive your vehicle above 5 mph (8 km/h).
Note: The Blind Spot Information System
does not function in reverse (R) or park (P).
Note: Cross traffic alert detects approaching
vehicles and bicycles from up to 131 ft (40 m)
away though coverage decreases when the
sensors are blocked. Reversing slowly helps
increase the coverage area and
effectiveness.

System Lights and Messages
The Blind Spot Information and cross traffic
alert systems illuminate a yellow alert
indicator in the outside mirror on the side of
your vehicle the approaching vehicle is
coming from. In addition, the yellow alert
indicator will flash if the direction indicator is
ON while a Blind Spot Warning System alert
is active.
Cross traffic alert also sounds a series of
tones and a message appears in the
information display indicating a vehicle is
coming from the right or left. System Sensors WARNING
Just prior to the system recognizing a
blocked condition and alerting the
driver, the number of missed objects will
increase. To help avoid injuries, NEVER use
the Blind Spot Information System as a
replacement for using the side and rear view
mirrors and looking over your shoulder
before changing lanes. The Blind Spot
Information System is not a replacement for
careful driving. 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. 240

Note: The passenger side temperature and the Dual indicator automatically turn on when the passenger is adjusting their t\
emperature
control.
Fan speed:
Touch + or - to increase or decrease the volume of air circulated in your vehicle.
C
Note:
When the system is controlling the fan speed automatically, all the fan speed indicators turn off.
Recirculated air:
Touch the button to switch between outside air and recirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the air
currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the\
time needed to cool the interior (when used with A/C)
and may reduce unwanted odors from entering your vehicle.
D
Note:
Recirculated air may turn off automatically (or be prevented from turnin\
g on) in all airflow modes except Max A/C to reduce
risk of fogging. Recirculated air may also turn on and off automatically in Panel or Panel and Floor airflow modes during hot weather
in order to improve cooling efficiency.
Max A/C:
Touch the button to maximize cooling. Recirculated air flows through the instrument panel vents, air conditioni\
ng
automatically turns on, and the fan automatically adjusts to the highest\
speed.
E
A/C:
Touch the button to switch air conditioning compressor on or off. Use air conditioning with recirculated air to improve cooling
performance and efficiency.
F
Note:
In certain conditions (such as when using Max Defrost), the air condi\
tioning compressor may continue to operate even after
you switch off the air conditioning with the A/C button.
Auto:
Touch the button to switch on automatic operation. Select the desired tem\
perature using the temperature control. The system
adjusts fan speed, air distribution, air conditioning operation, and sel\
ects outside air or recirculated air to heat or cool the vehicle
in order to maintain the desired temperature. You can also use the
Auto button to switch off dual zone operation by touching and
holding the button for more than two seconds.
G
Heated rear window:
Turns the heated rear window on and off. See Heated Windows and Mirrors (page 143).
