The system uses two types of guides tohelp you see what is behind your vehicle:
•Fixed guidelines: Show the actual pathyour vehicle is moving in while reversingin a straight line. This can be helpfulwhen backing into a parking space oraligning your vehicle with anotherobject behind you.
•Centerline: Helps align the center ofyour vehicle with an object (forexample, a trailer).
Note:The image may remain onmomentarily when you shift thetransmission out of reverse (R). If yourvehicle speed reaches 6 mph (10 km/h) or10 seconds elapse and the image remainson, have your system inspected by anauthorized dealer.
Note:When towing, the camera only seeswhat you are towing behind your vehicle.This might not provide adequate coverageas it usually provides in normal operationand you might not see some objects. Insome vehicles, the guidelines may disappearonce you engage the trailer tow connector.
The camera may not operate correctlyunder the following conditions:
•Nighttime or dark areas if one or bothreverse lamps are not operating.
•Mud, water or debris obstructs thecamera's view. Clean the lens with asoft, lint-free cloth and non-abrasivecleaner.
•The camera is misaligned due todamage to the rear of your vehicle.
Camera Guidelines
Note:Fixed guidelines are only availablewhen the transmission is in reverse (R).
Note:The centerline is only available iffixed guidelines are on.
Rear bumperA
Fixed guideline: Red ZoneB
Fixed guideline: Yellow zoneC
Fixed guideline: Green zoneD
CenterlineE
Always use caution while reversing.Objects in the red zone are closest to yourvehicle and objects in the green zone arefarther away. Objects are getting closer toyour vehicle as they move from the greenzone to the yellow or red zones. Use theside view mirrors and rear view mirror toget better coverage on both sides and rearof the vehicle.
Camera System Settings
Rear view camera system settings can beaccessed through the multifunctionaldisplay. See General Information (page91).

BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM
WARNING
Never use the Blind SpotInformation System as areplacement for using the interiorand exterior mirrors or looking over yourshoulder before changing lanes. The BlindSpot Information System is not areplacement for careful driving.
The Blind Spot Information System isdesigned to aid you in detecting vehiclesthat may have entered the blind spot zone(A). The detection area is on both sides ofyour vehicle, extending rearward from theexterior mirrors to approximately 10 ft(3 m) beyond the bumper. The system isdesigned to alert you if certain vehiclesenter the blind spot zone while driving.
Cross Traffic Alert warns the driver ofvehicles approaching from the sides whenthe transmission is in reverse (R).
Note:The Blind Spot Information Systemdoes not prevent contact with other vehiclesor objects; nor detect parked vehicles,people, animals or infrastructure (fences,guardrails, trees). It’s only designed to alertyou to vehicles in the blind spot zones.
Note:When a vehicle passes quicklythrough the blind spot zone, typically fewerthan two seconds, the system does nottrigger.
Using the System
The Blind Spot Information System turnson when you start the engine and you driveyour vehicle forward above 3 mph(5 km/h). It remains on while thetransmission is in drive (D) or neutral (N).If shifted out of drive (D) or neutral (N),the system enters Cross Traffic Alert mode.Once shifted back into drive (D), the BlindSpot Information System turns back onwhen the vehicle is driven above 3 mph(5 km/h).
Note:The Blind Spot Information Systemdoes not function in reverse (R) or park (P)or provide any additional warning when aturn signal is on.
Cross Traffic Alert detects approachingvehicles from up to 46 ft (14 m) awaythough coverage decreases when thesensors are blocked. Reversing slowlyhelps increase the coverage area andeffectiveness.
WARNING
Never use the Cross Traffic Alertsystem as a replacement for usingthe interior and exterior mirrors andlooking over your shoulder before backingout of a parking space. Cross Traffic Alertis not a replacement for careful driving.
In this first example, the left sensor is onlypartially obstructed; zone coverage to theright is nearly maximized.

System Lights and Messages
The Blind Spot Information and CrossTraffic Alert systems illuminate an amberalert indicator in the outside mirror on theside of your vehicle the approachingvehicle is coming from.
The alert indicator dims when the systemdetects nighttime darkness.
Cross Traffic Alert sounds also sounds anaudible alarm and a message appears inthe information display indicating a vehicleis coming from the right or left. CrossTraffic Alert works with the reverse sensingsystem which sounds its own audiblealarm. See Rear Parking Aid (page 182).
System Sensor Blockage
WARNING
Never use the Blind SpotInformation System as areplacement for using the interiorand exterior mirrors or looking over yourshoulder before changing lanes. The BlindSpot Information System is not areplacement for careful driving.
Note:It is possible to get a blockagewarning with no blockage present; this israre and known as a false blockage warning.A false blocked condition eitherself-corrects or clears after a key cycle.
The system uses radar sensors which arelocated behind the bumper fascia on eachside of your vehicle. Do not allow theseareas to become obstructed by mud, snowor bumper stickers, as this can causedegraded system performance.
If the system detects a degradedperformance condition, a blocked sensorwarning or low visibility warning will appearin the information display and the alertindicator illuminates in the appropriatemirror(s). The information display warningcan be cleared but the alert indicatorremains illuminated.

Switching the System Off and On
One or both systems can be switched offtemporarily by using the informationdisplay control; See InformationDisplays (page 91). . When you switch offthe Blind Spot Information System, youwill not receive alerts and the informationdisplay will display a system off message.The yellow alert indicator in the outsidemirror will also flash twice. The systemswitches back on whenever you switch theignition on.
You can also have the Blind SpotInformation System switched offpermanently at an authorized dealer. Onceswitched off permanently, the system canonly be switched back on at an authorizeddealer.
STEERING
Electric Power Steering
WARNINGS
The electric power steering systemhas diagnostic checks thatcontinuously monitor the system. Ifa fault is detected, a message displays inthe information display. Stop your vehicleas soon as it is safe to do so. Switch theignition off. After at least 10 seconds,switch the ignition on and watch theinformation display for a steering systemwarning message. If a steering systemwarning message returns, have the systemchecked by an authorized dealer.
If the system detects an error, youmay not feel a difference in thesteering, however a serious conditionmay exist. Obtain immediate service froman authorized dealer, failure to do so mayresult in loss of steering control.
Your vehicle has an electric power steeringsystem. There is no fluid reservoir. Nomaintenance is required.
If your vehicle loses electrical power whileyou are driving, electric power steeringassistance is lost. The steering system stilloperates and you can steer your vehiclemanually. Manually steering your vehiclerequires more effort.
Extreme continuous steering may increasethe effort required for you to steer yourvehicle. This increased effort preventsoverheating and permanent damage tothe steering system. You do not lose theability to steer your vehicle manually.Typical steering and driving maneuversallow the system to cool and return tonormal operation.
Steering Tips
If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
•Correct tire pressures.
•Uneven tire wear.
•Loose or worn suspensioncomponents.
•Loose or worn steering components.
•Improper vehicle alignment.
Note:A high crown in the road or highcrosswinds may also make the steeringseem to wander or pull.
Adaptive Learning
The electronic power steering systemadaptive learning helps correct roadirregularities and improves overall handlingand steering feel. It communicates withthe brake system to help operateadvanced stability control and accidentavoidance systems. Additionally, wheneverthe battery is disconnected or a newbattery installed, you must drive yourvehicle a short distance before the systemrelearns the strategy and reactivates allsystems.
