The Blind Spot Information System is
designed to aid you in detecting vehicles
that may have entered the blind spot zone
(A). The detection area is on both sides of
your vehicle, extending rearward from the
exterior mirrors to approximately 10 ft
(3 m) beyond the bumper. The system is
designed to alert you if certain vehicles
enter the blind spot zone while driving.
Cross Traffic Alert warns the driver of
vehicles approaching from the sides when
the transmission is in reverse (R).
Note: The Blind Spot Information System
does not prevent contact with other vehicles
or objects; nor detect parked vehicles,
people, animals or infrastructure (fences,
guardrails, trees). It’s only designed to alert
you to vehicles in the blind spot zones.
Note: When a vehicle passes quickly
through the blind spot zone, typically fewer
than two seconds, the system does not
trigger.
Using the System
The Blind Spot Information System turns
on when you start the engine and you drive
your vehicle forward above 3 mph
(5 km/h). It remains on while the
transmission is in drive (D) or neutral (N).
If shifted out of drive (D) or neutral (N),
the system enters Cross Traffic Alert mode.
Once shifted back into drive (D), the Blind
Spot Information System turns back on
when the vehicle is driven above 3 mph
(5 km/h).
Note: The Blind Spot Information System
does not function in reverse (R) or park (P)
or provide any additional warning when a
turn signal is on.
Cross Traffic Alert detects approaching
vehicles from up to 46 ft (14 m) away
though coverage decreases when the
sensors are blocked. Reversing slowly
helps increase the coverage area and
effectiveness.
WARNING
Never use the Cross Traffic Alert
system as a replacement for using
the interior and exterior mirrors and
looking over your shoulder before backing
out of a parking space. Cross Traffic Alert
is not a replacement for careful driving.
In this first example, the left sensor is only
partially obstructed; zone coverage to the
right is nearly maximized.
