System Lights and Messages

E142442

The Blind Spot Information and Cross

Traffic Alert systems illuminate a yellow

alert indicator in the outside mirror on the

side of your vehicle the approaching

vehicle is coming from.

Note: The alert indicator dims when the

system detects nighttime darkness.

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 that sounds its own series of tones.

See Parking Aid (page 151).

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 Blind Spot Information System as

a replacement for using the side and rear

view mirrors or looking over your shoulder

before changing lanes. The Blind Spot

Information System is not a replacement

for careful driving.

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 that 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 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.
