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
SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
Do not use the blind
spot information system as a
replacement for using the interior and
exterior mirrors or looking over your
shoulder before changing lanes. The
blind spot information 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.
Note: Blind spot information system does
not prevent contact with other vehicles. It
does not detect parked vehicles,
pedestrians, animals or other infrastructure.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
Blind spot information system does not
operate in park (P) or reverse (R).
The system may not alert you if a vehicle
quickly passes through the detection zone.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Blind spot information system turns on
when all the following occur:
• You start your vehicle.
• You shift into drive (D).
• The vehicle speed is greater than
6 mph (10 km/h)
.

When you switch blind spot information
system off, a warning lamp illuminates and
a message displays. When you switch the
system on or off, the alert indicators flash
twice.
Note:
The system remembers the last
setting when you start your vehicle.
To permanently switch the system off,
contact an authorized dealer.
LOCATING THE BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM
SENSORS The sensors are behind the rear bumper
on both sides of your vehicle.
Note:
Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt.
Note: Do not cover the sensors with bumper
stickers, repair compound or other objects. Note:
Blocked sensors may affect system
accuracy.
Note: Bike and cargo racks could cause
false alerts due to obstruction of the sensor.
We recommend switching the feature off
when using a bike or cargo rack.
If the sensors become blocked, a message
may appear in the information display. The
alert indicators remain illuminated but the
system does not alert you.
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.

3. Switch Cross Traffic Alert on or off.
Note: The system switches on every time
you switch the ignition on. To permanently
switch the system off, contact an authorized
dealer.
LOCATING THE CROSS
TRAFFIC ALERT SENSORS The sensors are behind the rear fascia
panel.
Note:
Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt.
Note: Do not cover the sensors with bumper
stickers, repair compound or other objects. Note:
Bike and cargo racks could cause
false alerts due to obstruction of the sensor.
We recommend switching the feature off
when using a bike or cargo rack.
Note: Blocked sensors may affect system
accuracy.
If something is blocking the sensors, a
message may appear in the information
display when you shift into reverse (R).
CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
INDICATORS When the cross traffic alert
detects an approaching vehicle,
a tone sounds, a warning lamp
illuminates in the relevant exterior mirror
and arrows appear in the information
display to show which side the vehicle is
approaching from.
If the system malfunctions, a warning lamp
illuminates in the instrument cluster and
a message appears in the information
display. Have your vehicle checked as soon
as possible.
Note: If arrows do not display, a message
appears in the information display.
Note: In some conditions, the system could
alert you, even when there is nothing in the
detection zone, for example a vehicle
passing further away from your vehicle.

LOCATING THE PRE-
COLLISION ASSIST SENSORS Camera.
1.
Radar sensor (if equipped).
2.
If a message regarding a blocked sensor
or camera appears in the information
display, something is obstructing the radar
signals or camera images. The radar sensor
is behind the fascia cover in the center of
the lower grille. With a blocked sensor or
camera, the system may not function, or
performance may reduce. See
Pre-Collision Assist – Information
Messages
(page 248). Note:
Proper system operation requires a
clear view of the road by the camera. Repair
any windshield damage in the area of the
camera's field of view.
Note: If something hits the front end of your
vehicle or damage occurs and your vehicle
has a radar sensor, the radar sensing zone
could change. This could cause missed or
false vehicle detections. Have your vehicle
serviced to have the radar checked for
proper coverage and operation.
Note: If your vehicle detects excessive heat
at the camera or a potential misalignment
condition, a message could display in the
information display indicating temporary
sensor unavailability. When operational
conditions are correct, the message
deactivates. For example, when the ambient
temperature around the sensor decreases
or the sensor recalibrates successfully.
DISTANCE INDICATION
(IF

WHAT IS DISTANCE INDICATION
Distance indication displays the gap
