The system uses radar sensors which are

located behind the bumper fascia on each

side of your vehicle. Do not allow mud,

snow or bumper stickers to obstruct these

areas, this can cause degraded system

performance.

If the system detects a degraded

performance condition, a message warning

of a blocked sensor or low visibility will

appear in the information display along

with a warning indicator. You can clear the

information display warning but the

warning indicator will remain illuminated.

When you remove a blockage, you can

reset the system in 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.

Reasons for messages being displayed

Clean the fascia area in

front of the radar or remove

the obstruction.

The radar

surface is

dirty or

obstructed

Drive normally in traffic for

a few minutes to allow the

radar to detect passing

vehicles so it can clear the

blocked state.

The radar

surface is

not dirty or

obstructed

No action required. The

system automatically

resets to an unblocked

state once the rainfall or

snowfall rate decreases or

stops. Do not use the Blind

Spot Information System or

Cross Traffic Alert in these

conditions.

Heavy rain-

fall or

snowfall

interferes

with the

radar

signals

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).
