• Driving in reverse faster than 5 mph

(8 km/h).

• Backing out of an angled parking spot.

False Alerts

Note: If your vehicle has a factory equipped

tow bar and it is towing a trailer, the sensors

will detect the trailer and turn the Blind Spot

Information and Cross Traffic Alert systems

off to avoid false alerts. For non-factory

equipped tow bars, you may want to turn

the Blind Spot Information System off

manually.

There may be certain instances when there

is a false alert by either the Blind Spot

Information or the Cross Traffic Alert

systems that illuminates the alert indicator

with no vehicle in the coverage zone. Some

amount of false alerts are normal; they are

temporary and self-correct.

System Errors

If either system senses a problem with the

left or right sensor, the Blind Spot

Information System warning indicator will

illuminate and a message will appear in

the information display.

All other system faults will display only

with a message in the information display.

See Information Messages (page 99).

Switching the Systems Off and On

You can temporarily switch off one or both

systems in the information display. See

(page 96). When you switch off the Blind

Spot Information System, you will not

receive alerts and the information display

will display a system off message.

Note: The Cross Traffic Alert system always

switches on whenever the ignition is

switched on. However, the Blind Spot

Information System will remember the last

selected on or off setting.

One or both systems cannot be switched

off when MyKey is used. See Principle of

Operation (page 58).

You can also have one or both systems

switched off permanently at an authorized

dealer. Once switched off, the system can

only be switched back on at an authorized

dealer.

ECO MODE

This system assists you in driving more

efficiently by constantly monitoring

characteristics of gear changing,

anticipation of traffic conditions and

speeds while driving.

The value of these characteristics is

represented by petals shown in the display,

with five petals being the most efficient.

The more efficiently you drive, the better

the rating, and the better your vehicle's

overall fuel economy.

Note: These efficiency values do not result

in a defined fuel consumption figure. It might

vary as it is not only related to these driving

habits, but also influenced by many other

factors such as short trips and cold starts.

Note: Frequent short trips, where the engine

does not fully warm up, will also increase

fuel consumption

The system is accessed using the

information display control. See (page

96).
