The system illuminates an alert indicator
in the outside mirror on the side of your
vehicle the approaching vehicle is coming
from. When the system is alerting on a
vehicle and the corresponding turn signal
is on, the alert indicator flashes at an
increased level.
The alert indicator dims when the system
detects nighttime darkness.
Blocked Sensors
E205199
The system uses radar sensors that are
located near the rear bumper on each side
of your vehicle. Any dirt, mud or snow in
front of the sensors or driving in heavy rain
can cause system degradation and false
alerts. Also, other types of obstructions in
front of the sensor can cause system
degradation. This is referred to as a
‘blocked’ condition.
Note: Do not apply bumper stickers and/or
repair compound to these areas, this can
cause degraded system performance.
Note: The alert indicator may turn on during
heavy rain even though no vehicle has
entered the blind zone.
If the system detects a degraded
performance condition, a message warning
of a blocked sensor appears in the
information display. The alert indicators
remain on and the system no longer
provides any vehicle warnings. You can
clear the information display warning but
the alert indicators remain illuminated.
A "blocked" condition can be cleared in
two ways:
• After the blockage in front of the
sensors is removed or the
rainfall/snowfall rate decreases or
stops, drive for a few minutes in traffic
to allow the sensors to detect passing
vehicles.
• By cycling the ignition from on to off,
and then back on.
Note: If your vehicle has a tow bar with a
factory equipped trailer tow module and it
is towing a trailer, the sensors automatically
turn the system off. If your vehicle has a tow
bar but no factory equipped trailer tow
module, it is recommended that you turn
the system off manually. Operating the
system with a trailer attached causes poor
system performance.
System Errors
If the system senses a problem with the
left or right sensor, the warning indicator
illuminates and a message appears in the
information display. See Information
Messages (page 82).
Switching the System On and Off
Note: The system remembers the last
setting when you start your vehicle.
You can temporarily switch the system off
in the information display. See General
Information (page 79). When you switch
the system off, the information display
shows a system off message, the indicator
illuminates and you no longer receive
alerts. When you switch the system on or
off, the alert indicators flash twice.
You can also have the system switched off
permanently at an authorized dealer. Once
the system is switched off permanently at
an authorized dealer, only an authorized
dealer can turn the system back on.
