When you remove a blockage, you can reset
the system two ways:
• While driving, the system detects at least
two objects.
• You cycle the ignition from on to off and
then back on.
If the blockage is still present after the key
cycle and driving in traffic, check again for a
blockage.

System Limitations
The Blind Spot Information and Cross Traffic
Alert systems do have their limitations;
situations such as severe weather conditions
or debris build-up on the sensor area may
limit vehicle detection.
The following are other situations that may
limit the Blind Spot Information System:
• Certain maneuvering of vehicles entering
and exiting the blind zone.
• Vehicles passing through the blind zone
at very fast rates.
• When several vehicles forming a convoy
pass through the blind zone.
The following are other situations that may
limit the Cross Traffic Alert system:
• Adjacently parked vehicles or objects
obstructing the sensors.
• Approaching vehicles passing at speeds
greater than 15 mph (24 km/h).
• Driving in reverse faster than 3 mph (5
km/h).
• Backing out of an angled parking spot.
