Blind spot mirrors have an integrated
convex mirror built into the upper outboard
corner of the exterior mirrors. They can
assist you by increasing visibility along the
side of your vehicle. The blind spot mirror
is only on the driver exterior mirror.
Check the main mirror first before a lane
change, then check the blind spot mirror.
If no vehicles are present in the blind spot
mirror and the traffic in the adjacent lane
is at a safe distance, signal that you are
going to change lanes. Glance over your
shoulder to verify traffic is clear, and
carefully change lanes. The image of the approaching vehicle is
small and near the inboard edge of the
main mirror when it is at a distance. The
image becomes larger and begins to move
outboard across the main mirror as the
vehicle approaches (A). The image
transitions from the main mirror and begins
to appear in the blind spot mirror as the
vehicle approaches (B). The vehicle
transitions to your peripheral field of view
as it leaves the blind spot mirror (C).
Blind Spot Information System (If
Equipped)
See
Blind Spot Information System
(page 262).
INTERIOR MIRROR WARNING:
Do not adjust the
mirrors when your vehicle is moving. This
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, serious personal injury or death.
Note: Do not clean the mirror housing or
glass with harsh abrasives, fuel or other
petroleum-based cleaning products.
You can adjust the interior mirror to your
preference. Some mirrors also have a
second pivot point. This lets you move the
mirror head up or down and from side to
side.
Manual Dimming Mirror
Pull the tab below the mirror toward you
to reduce the effect of bright light from
behind.

DRIVER ALERT (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:
The system is
designed to aid the driver. It is not
intended to replace your attention and
judgment. You are still responsible to
drive with due care and attention. WARNING:
At all times, you are
responsible for controlling your vehicle,
supervising the system and intervening,
if required. Failure to take care may result
in the loss of control of your vehicle,
serious personal injury or death. WARNING:
The system may not
function if the sensor is blocked. WARNING:
Take regular rest
breaks if you feel tired. Do not wait for
the system to warn you. WARNING:
Certain driving styles
may result in the system warning you
even if you are not feeling tired. WARNING:
In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all
limit sensor performance. WARNING:
The system will not
operate if the sensor cannot track the
road lane markings. WARNING:
If damage occurs in
the immediate area surrounding the
sensor, have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible. WARNING:
The system may not
correctly operate if your vehicle is fitted
with a suspension kit not approved by
us. Note:
Keep the windshield free from
obstructions. For example, bird droppings,
insects and snow or ice.
Note: If the camera is blocked or if the
windshield is damaged, the system may not
function.
Note: The system remembers the last
setting when you start your vehicle, unless
a MyKey ™ is detected.
Note: If enabled in the menu, the system
activates at speeds above
40 mph
(64 km/h). The system automatically monitors your
driving behavior using various inputs
including the front camera sensor.
If the system detects that your driving
alertness is reduced below a certain
threshold, the system will alert you using
a chime and a message in the information
display.
Using Driver Alert
Switching the system on and off
You may switch the system on or off
through the information display by
selecting Settings then Driver Assist then
Driver Alert in the menu. When activated,
the system will monitor your alertness level
based upon your driving behavior in relation
to the lane markings, and other factors.

When you switch the system on and it
detects an unintentional drift out of your
lane is likely to occur, the system notifies
or assists you to stay in your lane through
the steering system and information
display. In Alert mode, the system provides
a warning by vibrating the steering wheel.
In Aid mode, the system provides steering
assistance by gently counter steering your
vehicle back into the lane.
When the system is functioning in the
combined Alert and Aid mode, the system
first provides steering assistance by gently
counter steering your vehicle back into the
lane, followed by a warning that vibrates
the steering wheel if the vehicle is still out
of the lane markings.
Switching the System On and Off
Note:
The system on or off setting is stored
until it is manually changed, unless a
MyKey ™ is detected. If the system detects
a MyKey ™, it defaults to on and the mode
is set to alert.
Note: If a MyKey ™ is detected, pressing
the button does not affect the on or off
status of the system. You can only change
the mode and intensity settings. Press the button on the center
console to switch the system on
or off. System Settings
The system has optional menu settings
available. See General Information
(page 116). The system stores the last
known selection for each of these settings.
You do not need to readjust your settings
each time you switch on the system.
Adjust the settings to enable one of the
three modes:
Alert Only Alert Only mode provides a steering wheel
vibration when an unintended lane
departure is detected.
Aid Only
Aid Only mode provides steering
assistance toward the lane center.

Alert and Aid Mode
Alert
A
AidB
Alert and Aid mode provides steering
assistance toward the lane center.
If your vehicle continues drifting out of the
lane, the system provides a steering wheel
vibration.
Note: The alert and aid diagrams illustrate
general zone coverage. They do not provide
exact zone parameters.
Intensity: This setting affects the intensity
of the steering wheel vibration used for the
alert and Alert and Aid modes. This
setting does not affect the aid mode.
• Low
• Medium
• High System Display
If you switch the system on in alert mode,
a graphic with lane markings appears in
the information display.
If you switch the system on in aid or alert
and aid mode, arrows appear with the lane
markings.
When you switch the system off, the lane
marking graphics do not display.
Note:
The overhead vehicle graphic may
still be displayed if adaptive cruise control
is enabled.
While the system is on, the color of the
lane markings change to indicate the
system status.
Gray: Indicates that the system is
temporarily unable to provide a warning
or intervention on the indicated side. This
may be because:
• Your vehicle is under the activation
speed.
• The direction indicator is active.
• Your vehicle is in a dynamic maneuver.
• Quick braking.
• Fast acceleration.
