The maximum width supported by the Trailer Merge
Assist feature is 8.5 ft (2.59 m). Trailer width is mea-
sured at the widest portion of the trailer and may
include wheels, tires, fenders, or rails.
NOTE:
The ability to detect a trailer may be degraded in
crowded or busy environments. Busy parking lots, nar-
row areas surrounded with trees, or any other crowded
area may prevent the radar sensors from being able to
adequately detect the trailer. The system will try to
detect a trailer at every ignition cycle or 90 seconds of
standstill.
Trailer length will be identified and placed into one of
the following categories:
•
Trailer length up to 10 ft (3 m) — Blind spot zone will
be adjusted to 10 ft (3 m)
.
•
Trailer length between 10 ft to 20 ft (3 m to 6 m) —
Blind spot zone will be adjusted to 20 ft (6 m)
.
•
Trailer length between 20 ft to 30 ft (6 m to 9 m) —
Blind spot zone will be adjusted to 30 ft (9 m)
.
•
Trailer length between 30 ft and 39.5 ft (9 m to
12 m) — Blind spot zone will be adjusted to Max
distance
.
NOTE:
Trailer length is determined within +/- 3 ft (1 m) of
actual length. Trailers that are the same size as the
category limit, 10/20/30 ft (3/6/9 m), could be subject
to being placed in the category above or below the cor-
rect one.
Trailer Merge Warning
Trailer Merge Warning is the extension of the blind spot
function to cover the length of the trailer, plus a safety
margin, to warn the driver when there is a vehicle in the
adjacent lane. The driver is alerted by the illumination
of the BSM Warning Light located in the outside mirror
on the side the other vehicle is detected on. In addition,
an audible (chime) alert will be heard and radio volume
will be reduced
page 135.
NOTE:
•
The Trailer Merge Alert system DOES NOT alert the
driver about rapidly approaching vehicles that are
outside the detection zones.
•
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system may experi-
ence drop outs (blinking on and off) of the side mir-
ror warning indicator lights when a motorcycle or any
small object remains at the side of the vehicle for
extended periods of time (more than a couple of
seconds).
•
Crowded areas such as parking lots, neighborhoods,
etc. may lead to an increased amount of false
alerts. This is normal operation.
WARNING!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only an aid to
help detect objects in the blind spot zones. The BSM
system is not designed to detect pedestrians, bicy-
clists, or animals. Even if your vehicle is equipped
with the BSM system, always check your vehicle’s
mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and use your turn
signal before changing lanes. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
FORWARD COLLISION WARNING
(FCW) WITH MITIGATION
FCW with Mitigation provides the driver with audible
warnings, visual warnings (within the instrument cluster
display), and may apply a brake jerk to warn the driver
when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warn-
ings and limited braking are intended to provide the
driver with enough time to react, avoid or mitigate the
potential collision.
