System Lights and Messages

E142442

The BLIS and cross traffic alert systems

illuminate a yellow alert indicator in the

outside mirror on the side of the vehicle

the approaching vehicle is coming from.

Note: The alert indicator dims when

nighttime darkness is detected.

Cross traffic alert also sounds a series of

tones and a message appears in the

information display indicating a vehicle is

coming from the right or left. Cross traffic

alert works with the reverse sensing

system which sounds its own series of

tones. See Parking Aid (page 165).

System Sensors

WARNING

Just prior to the system recognizing

a blocked condition and alerting the

driver, the number of missed objects

will increase. To help avoid injuries, NEVER

use the BLIS as a replacement for using

the side and rear view mirrors and looking

over your shoulder before changing lanes.

BLIS is not a replacement for careful

driving and only an assist.

Note: It is possible to get a blockage

warning with no blockage present; this is

rare and known as a false blockage warning.

A false blocked condition either

self-corrects or clears after a key cycle.

E142443

The system uses radar sensors which are

located behind the bumper fascia on each

side of your vehicle. Do not allow these

areas to become obstructed by mud, snow

or bumper stickers, as this can cause

degraded system performance.

If the system detects a degraded

performance condition, a message warning

of a blocked sensor or a message warning

of low visibility will appear in the

information display and the alert indicator

illuminates in the appropriate mirror(s).

The information display warning can be

cleared but the alert indicator remains

illuminated.

When the blockage is removed, the system

can be reset in two ways:

• when at least two objects are detected

while driving, or

• turn the ignition from on to off, then

back on.

If the blockage is still present after the key

cycle, the system senses again that it is

blocked after driving in traffic.
