WHAT IS BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM
Blind spot information system detects
vehicles that may have entered the blind
spot zone.
HOW DOES BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM WORK
Blind spot information system uses
sensors on both sides of your vehicle,
detecting rearward from the exterior
mirrors to approximately 13 ft (4 m)
beyond the rear bumper. The detection
area extends to approximately 59 ft (18 m)
beyond the rear bumper when the vehicle
speed is greater than
30 mph (48 km/h)
to alert you of faster approaching vehicles. BLIND SPOT INFORMATION

BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM WITH TRAILER
COVERAGE
WHAT IS BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM WITH
TRAILER COVERAGE
Blind spot information system detects
vehicles that may have entered the blind
spot zone. The detection area is on both
sides your vehicle and trailer, extending
rearward from the exterior mirrors to the
end of your trailer.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM WITH TRAILER
COVERAGE LIMITATIONS
Trailer coverage only supports
conventional trailers. The system turns off
if you select a fifth wheel trailer type.
Make sure the trailer width is less than or
equal to 8.5 ft (2.6 m) and the length is
less than 33 ft (10.1 m). If you input values
higher, the system turns off. Some trailers could cause a slight change
in system performance:
•
Large box trailers could cause false
alerts to occur when driving next to
infrastructures or near parked cars. A
false alert could also occur while
making a 90-degree turn.
• Trailers that have a width greater than
8.5 ft (2.6 m)
at the front and have a
total length greater than 20 ft (6 m)
could cause delayed alerts when a
vehicle is passing at high speeds.
• Box trailers that have a width greater
than
8.5 ft (2.6 m) at the front could
cause early alerts when you pass a
vehicle.
• Clam shell or v-nose box trailers with
a width greater than
8.5 ft (2.6 m) at
the front could cause delayed alerts
when a vehicle traveling the same
speed as your vehicle merges lanes.

(If Equipped)E225007 E225008

Note:
The system only supports
conventional trailers.
2. Do you want to set up blind spot with trailer screen? If no, the system turns
off. If yes, the menu goes to the next
screen.
3. Is the width less than 9 ft (2.7 m) and
length less than 33 ft (10.1 m)? If no,
the system turns off. If yes, the menu
goes to the next screen.
4. Trailer width measurement. Measure the width at the front of the trailer. It is
not measured at the widest point of
the trailer. The maximum width at the
front of the trailer the system can
support is
8.5 ft (2.6 m).
Note: You do not need to enter an exact
trailer width measurement. You only need
to confirm that the width of the trailer is less
than
9 ft (2.7 m).
5. Trailer length measurement. The trailer
length is the distance between the
trailer hitch ball and the rear of the
trailer. The maximum length that the
system can support is
33 ft (10.1 m).
6. Enter the length of trailer. The default setting is
18 ft (5.5 m). Toggling up or
down using the menu buttons
increases or decreases the
measurement by
3 ft (1 m). Select a
length that is equal to or within 3 ft
(1 m) of the actual measured length.
For example, if the actual measure
length is
25 ft (7.5 m), toggle the length
in the menu to 27 ft (8.2 m). The
system setup saves when you enter the
length of the trailer.
Note: If the trailer is a bike rack or cargo
rack with electrical lighting, enter a length
of
3 ft (1 m). Cross traffic alert remains on
for trailers with a length of 3 ft (1 m) or less. Note:
The system requires proper
measurement and measure entry to function
properly.
SELECTING A TRAILER
When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,
the trailer set up menu appears in the
touchscreen. This menu allows you to set
up a new trailer or choose from a
previously set up trailer. A warning
message appears and the system turns off
if you do not choose or add a new trailer.
Note: The warning message may not
appear until your vehicle reaches
22 mph
(35 km/h).
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM INDICATORS When blind spot information
system detects a vehicle, an
alert indicator illuminates in the
exterior mirror on the side the approaching
vehicle is coming from. If you turn the turn
signal on for that side of your vehicle, the
alert indicator flashes.

WHAT IS CROSS TRAFFIC
ALERT
The system alerts you of vehicles
approaching from the sides behind your
vehicle when you shift into reverse (R).
HOW DOES CROSS TRAFFIC
ALERT WORK
Cross Traffic Alert detects vehicles that
approach at a speed between 4–
37 mph
(6–60 km/h). Coverage decreases when
the sensors are partially, mostly or fully
obstructed. The sensor on the left-hand side is only
partially obstructed and zone coverage on
the right-hand side is maximized.
Zone coverage also decreases when
parking at narrow angles. The sensor on
the left-hand side is mostly obstructed and
zone coverage on that side is severely
reduced.
Note:
Slowly reversing helps increase the
coverage area and effectiveness. CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
PRECAUTIONS WARNING:
Do not use the cross
traffic alert system as a replacement for
using the interior and exterior mirrors or
looking over your shoulder before
reversing out of a parking space. The
cross traffic alert system is not a
replacement for careful driving. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly during severe weather
conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy
rain and spray. Always drive with due
care and attention. Failure to take care
may result in a crash.
CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
LIMITATIONS
Cross Traffic Alert may not correctly
operate when any of the following occur:
• Something is blocking the sensors.
• Adjacently parked vehicles or objects
are obstructing the sensors.
• Vehicles approach at speeds less than
4 mph (6 km/h) or greater than 37 mph
(60 km/h)
.
• Your vehicle speed is greater than
7 mph (12 km/h)
.
• You reverse out of an angled parking
space.
