Blind Spot Information System
Limitations
Some trailers may cause a slight change
in system performance:
•
Wide box trailers, especially those
wider than the towing vehicle, may
cause false alerts to occur when driving
next to infrastructure or near parked
cars. A false alert may also occur while
making a 90-degree turn or driving
through a roundabout.
• Wide trailers that have a total length
greater than 20 ft (6 m) may cause
delayed alerts when a vehicle is
passing at high speed. •
Box trailers that have a width greater
than
7.9 ft (2.4 m) may cause early
alerts when you pass a vehicle.
• Clam shell or V-Nose box trailers with
a width greater than 7.9 ft (2.4 m) may
cause delayed alerts when a vehicle
traveling the same speed as your
vehicle merges lanes.

Attach the tire sealant and the inflator
kit and check the tire pressure from the
pressure gauge D.

the pressure relief valve B. If the tire
pressure is less than the recommended
pressure, repeat steps 13 to 16 and
steps 1 to 2 (Checking the Tire
Pressure).
4. Once you have inflated the tire to its correct tire pressure, move the
compressor switch F to position 0,
remove the power plug E from the
auxiliary power point, unscrew the
sealant bottle hose, fasten the valve
cap and replace the protective cap A.
5. Drive to the nearest tire specialist to get the damaged tire replaced. Before
the tire is removed from the wheel,
inform the tire specialist that the tire
contains sealant. Renew the sealant
bottle as soon as possible after it has
been used once.
