If the system detects a degradedperformance condition, a message warningof a blocked sensor will appear in theinformation display. Also the system alertindicators will remain ON and the system willno longer provide any vehicle warnings. Youcan clear the information display warning butthe alert indicators will remain illuminated.
A "blocked" condition can be cleared in twoways:
•After the blockage in front of the sensorsis removed or the rainfall/snowfall ratedecreases or stops, drive for a fewminutes in traffic to allow the sensors todetect passing vehicles.
•By cycling the ignition from ON to OFFand then back ON.
Note:When towing a trailer, the sensors maydetect the trailer thus causing a false alert.It may be desirable to turn the Blind SpotInformation System off if the false alertsbecome annoying.
System Errors
If the system senses a problem with the leftor right sensor, the telltale will illuminate anda message will appear in the informationdisplay. See Information Messages (page112).
System Limitations
The system does have its limitations;situations such as severe weather conditionsor debris build-up on the sensor may limitvehicle detection.
The following are other situations that maylimit the system:
•Certain maneuvering of vehicles enteringand exiting the blind zone.
•Vehicles passing through the blind zoneat very fast rates.
•When several vehicles forming a convoypass through the blind zone.
Switching the System Off and On
You can temporarily switch the Blind SpotInformation System off in the informationdisplay. See General Information (page 105).When the Blind Spot Information Systemswitches off, you will not receive alerts andthe information display shows a system offmessage. The telltale in the cluster alsoilluminates. When you switch the Blind SpotInformation System on or off, the alertindicators flash twice.

System Lights, Messages and AudibleAlerts
The Cross Traffic Alert illuminates an amberalert indicator in the outside mirror on theside of your vehicle the approaching vehicleis coming from. Cross Traffic Alert alsosounds an audible alert and a messageappears in the information display indicatinga vehicle is coming from the right or left.Cross Traffic Alert works with the reversesensing system that sounds its own seriesof tones. See Rear Parking Aid (page 192).
The system uses radar sensors that arelocated behind the bumper fascia on eachside of your vehicle. Do not allow mud, snowor bumper stickers to obstruct these areas,this can cause degraded systemperformance. See Blind Spot InformationSystem (page 219). If the Blind SpotInformation System is blocked, Cross TrafficAlert is also blocked. A correspondingmessage appears in the information displayas soon as you shift the transmission intoreverse (R).
System Limitations
Cross Traffic Alert has its limitations;situations such as severe weather conditionsor debris build-up on the sensor area maylimit vehicle detection.
The system detects approaching vehiclesfrom up to 45 ft (14 m) away, thoughcoverage decreases when the sensors areblocked. Reversing slowly helps increase thecoverage area and effectiveness.
The following are other situations that maylimit the Cross Traffic Alert performance:
•Stationary or slow moving vehicles.
•Pedestrians or objects in the roadway.
•Oncoming vehicles in the same lame.
•Severe weather conditions.
•Debris build-up near or around thesensor(s).
•Small distance to the vehicle ahead.
•Adjacently parking vehicles or objectsobstructing the sensors.
•Approaching vehicles passing at speedsgreater than 15 mph (24 km/h).
•Driving in reverse faster than 3 mph(5 km/h).
•Backing out of an angled parking spot.
