the Blind Spot Information or Cross Traffic
Alert systems illuminate the alert indicator
with no vehicle in the coverage zone; this is
known as a false alert. Some amount of false
alerts are normal; they are temporary and
self-correct.

or right sensor, the telltale will illuminate and

One or both systems can be switched off
temporarily by using the information display

twice. The system switches back on
whenever you switch the ignition on.

System switched off permanently at an
authorized dealer. Once switched off

switched back on at an authorized dealer.
