BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM
WITH TRAILER COVERAGE
WHAT IS BLIND SPOT INFORMATIONSYSTEM WITH TRAILER COVERAGE
Blind spot information system detectsvehicles that may have entered the blindspot zone. The detection area is on bothsides your vehicle and trailer, extendingrearward from the exterior mirrors to the endof your trailer.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEMWITH TRAILER COVERAGELIMITATIONS
Trailer coverage only supports conventionaltrailers. The system turns off if you select afifth wheel trailer type.
Make sure the trailer width is less than orequal to 8.5 ft (2.6 m) and the length is lessthan 33 ft (10.1 m). If you input values higher,the system turns off.
Some trailers could cause a slight change insystem performance:
•Large box trailers could cause false alertsto occur when driving next toinfrastructures or near parked cars. Afalse alert could also occur while makinga 90-degree turn.
•Trailers that have a width greater than8.5 ft (2.6 m) at the front and have a totallength greater than 20 ft (6 m) couldcause delayed alerts when a vehicle ispassing at high speeds.
•Box trailers that have a width greater than8.5 ft (2.6 m) at the front could causeearly alerts when you pass a vehicle.
•Clam shell or v-nose box trailers with awidth greater than 8.5 ft (2.6 m) at thefront could cause delayed alerts when avehicle traveling the same speed as yourvehicle merges lanes.

You can set-up a trailer to work with the blindspot information system through thetouchscreen. When setting up a trailer, asequence of screens appear asking for trailerinformation.
1.Select type of trailer screen -conventional, fifth wheel or gooseneck.
Note:The system only supports conventionaltrailers.
2.Do you want to set up blind spot withtrailer 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) andlength less than 33 ft (10.1 m)? If no, thesystem turns off. If yes, the menu goesto the next screen.
4.Trailer width measurement. Measure thewidth at the front of the trailer. It is notmeasured at the widest point of thetrailer. The maximum width at the frontof the trailer the system can support is8.5 ft (2.6 m).
Note:You do not need to enter an exacttrailer width measurement. You only needto confirm that the width of the trailer is lessthan 9 ft (2.7 m).
5.Trailer length measurement. The trailerlength is the distance between the trailerhitch ball and the rear of the trailer. Themaximum length that the system cansupport is 33 ft (10.1 m).
6.Enter the length of trailer. The defaultsetting is 18 ft (5.5 m). Toggling up ordown using the menu buttons increasesor decreases the measurement by 1 ft(0.3 m). Select a length that is equal to orwithin 1 ft (0.3 m) of the actual measuredlength. For example, if the actualmeasure length is 23 ft (7 m), toggle thelength in the menu to 24 ft (7.2 m). Thesystem setup saves when you enter thelength of the trailer.
Note:If the trailer is a bike rack or cargorack with electrical lighting, enter a lengthof around 3 ft (1 m). Cross traffic alert remainson for trailers with a length of 3 ft (1 m) orless.
Note:The system requires propermeasurement and measure entry to functionproperly.

WARNING: The system does notdetect vehicles moving in a differentdirection or animals. Apply the brakeswhen necessary. Failure to follow thisinstruction could result in the loss ofcontrol of your vehicle, personal injury ordeath.
WARNING: The system does notoperate during hard acceleration orsteering. Failure to take care may lead toa crash or personal injury.
WARNING: The system may operatewith reduced function during cold andinclement weather conditions. Snow, ice,rain, spray and fog can adversely affect thesystem. Keep the front camera and radarfree of snow and ice. Failure to follow thisinstruction may result in the loss of controlof your vehicle, serious personal injury ordeath.
WARNING: Take additional care ifyour vehicle is heavily loaded or you aretowing a trailer. These conditions couldresult in reduced performance of thissystem. Failure to follow this instructioncould result in the loss of control of yourvehicle, personal injury or death.
WARNING: The system cannot helpprevent all crashes. Do not rely on thissystem to replace driver judgment and theneed to maintain a safe distance andspeed.
WARNING: System performancecould be reduced in situations where thevehicle camera has limited detectioncapability. These situations include but arenot limited to direct or low sunlight,vehicles at night without tail lights,unconventional vehicle types, pedestriansor cyclists with complex backgrounds,
running pedestrians or fast moving cyclists,partly obscured pedestrians or cyclists,pedestrians or cyclists that the systemcannot distinguish from a group. Failure totake care may result in the loss of controlof your vehicle, personal injury or death.
PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
LIMITATIONS
Pre-collision assist depends on the detectionability of its camera and sensors. Anyobstructions or damage to these areas canlimit detection or prevent the system fromfunctioning. See Locating the Pre-CollisionAssist Sensors (page 324).
The system is active at 3 mph (5 km/h) andabove.
Note:The pre-collision assist systemautomatically disables when you selectfour-wheel drive low or manually disableAdvanceTrac™.

EVASIVE STEERING ASSIST
WHAT IS EVASIVE STEERING ASSIST
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching a roaduser, evasive steering assist helps you steeraround the road user.
After you turn the steering wheel in anattempt to avoid a crash with the road user,the system applies additional steering torqueto help you steer around the road user. Afteryou pass the road user, the system appliessteering torque when you turn the steeringwheel to steer back into the lane. The systemdeactivates after you fully pass the road user.
Note:Road users are defined as pedestriansor bicyclists in your vehicle's path or anotherstationary vehicle in the same lane or avehicle traveling in the same lane in thesame direction as you. See Pre-CollisionAssist Precautions (page 321).

Evasive steering assist only activates whenall the following occur:
•Automatic emergency braking andevasive steering assist are on.
•The system detects a road user aheadand starts to apply the brakes.
•You significantly turn the steering wheelto steer around a road user.
Note:Evasive steering assist does notautomatically steer around a road user. Ifyou do not turn the steering wheel, evasivesteering assist does not activate.
Note:Evasive steering assist does notactivate if the distance to the road userahead is too small and the system cannotavoid a crash.
