The Blind Spot Information System aids 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 23 ft (7 m) beyond the bumper.
The system alerts you if certain vehicles
enter the blind spot zone while driving.
WARNING
To help avoid personal injury, 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.
Cross traffic alert warns you 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 does it detect parked
vehicles, people, animals or infrastructure
(fences, guardrails or trees). It only alerts you
to vehicles in the blind zones.
Note: When a vehicle passes quickly through
the blind zone, the system may not trigger.
Using the Systems
The Blind Spot Information System turns on
when you start the engine and you drive your
vehicle forward above 5 mph (8 km/h), it
remains on while the transmission is in drive
(D) or neutral (N). If shifted into reverse (R),
the system enters cross traffic alert mode.
Once shifted back into drive (D), the Blind
Spot Information System turns back on when
you drive your vehicle above 5 mph (8 km/h).
Note: The Blind Spot Information System
does not function in reverse (R) or park (P).
Note: Cross traffic alert detects approaching
vehicles and bicycles from up to 131 ft (40 m)
away though coverage decreases when the
sensors are blocked. Reversing slowly helps
increase the coverage area and
effectiveness.
