System Lights and Messages
The Blind Spot Information and CrossTraffic Alert systems illuminate an amberalert indicator in the outside mirror on theside of your vehicle the approachingvehicle is coming from.
The alert indicator dims when the systemdetects nighttime darkness.
Cross Traffic Alert sounds also sounds anaudible alarm and a message appears inthe information display indicating a vehicleis coming from the right or left. CrossTraffic Alert works with the reverse sensingsystem which sounds its own audiblealarm. See Rear Parking Aid (page 182).
System Sensor Blockage
WARNING
Never use the Blind SpotInformation System as areplacement for using the interiorand exterior mirrors or looking over yourshoulder before changing lanes. The BlindSpot Information System is not areplacement for careful driving.
Note:It is possible to get a blockagewarning with no blockage present; this israre and known as a false blockage warning.A false blocked condition eitherself-corrects or clears after a key cycle.
The system uses radar sensors which arelocated behind the bumper fascia on eachside of your vehicle. Do not allow theseareas to become obstructed by mud, snowor bumper stickers, as this can causedegraded system performance.
If the system detects a degradedperformance condition, a blocked sensorwarning or low visibility warning will appearin the information display and the alertindicator illuminates in the appropriatemirror(s). The information display warningcan be cleared but the alert indicatorremains illuminated.

When the blockage is removed, the systemcan be reset in two ways: 1) when at leasttwo objects are detected while driving, or2) turn the ignition key from on to off, then
back on. If the blockage is still present afterthe key cycle, the system senses again thatit is blocked after driving in traffic.
Reasons for messages being displayed
Clean the fascia area in front of the radaror remove the obstruction.The radar surface is dirty or obstructed
Drive normally in traffic for a few minutesto allow the radar to detect passingvehicles so it can clear the blocked state.
The radar surface is not dirty or obstructed
No action required. The system automatic-ally resets to an unblocked state once therainfall/snowfall rate decreases or stops.Do not use the Blind Spot InformationSystem or Cross Traffic Alert in theseconditions.
Heavy rainfall/snowfall interferes with theradar signals
System Limitations
The Blind Spot Information and CrossTraffic Alert systems do have theirlimitations; situations such as severeweather conditions or debris build-up onthe sensor area may limit vehicle detection.
The following are other situations that maylimit the Blind Spot Information System:
•Certain maneuvering of vehiclesentering and exiting the blind zone.
•Vehicles passing through the blind zoneat very fast rates.
•When several vehicles forming aconvoy pass through the blind zone.
The following are other situations that maylimit the Cross Traffic Alert:
•Adjacently parked vehicles or objectsobstructing the sensors.
•Approaching vehicles passing atspeeds greater than 15 mph (24 km/h).
•Driving in reverse faster than 3 mph(5 km/h).
•Backing out of an angled parking spot.
False Alerts
Note:If you connected a trailer to yourvehicle, the Blind Spot Information Systemmay detect the trailer causing a false alert.To avoid false alerts you may want to turnthe system off manually.
There may be certain instances wheneither the Blind Spot Information or CrossTraffic Alert systems illuminate the alertindicator with no vehicle in the coveragezone; this is known as a false alert. Someamount of false alerts are normal; they aretemporary and self-correct.
System Errors
If the system senses a problem with theleft or right sensor, the telltale willilluminate and a message will appear inthe information display. See InformationMessages (page 102).

Shifting the transfer case to itsneutral position for recreationaltowing may cause the vehicle to beable to roll even if the transmission is in P(Park). The driver or others could beinjured. Make sure the foot brake isdepressed and the vehicle is in a secureand safe position while the transfer caseis being shifted to its neutral position.
Failing to put the transfer case in itsneutral position will damage vehiclecomponents.
Note:You can check four-wheel-downtowing status at any time by opening thedriver's door or turning the ignition to theaccessory or on position and verifying theNEUTRAL TOW ENABLED messagedisplays in the cluster.

5. Apply the parking brake, and thendisconnect the vehicle from the towvehicle.
6. Release the parking brake, start theengine, and shift the transmission toposition D to make sure the transfercase is out of position N.
7. If the transfer case does notsuccessfully shift out of position N, setthe parking brake until you can haveyour vehicle serviced.
Resolving the SHIFT DELAY PULLFORWARD Message
If the instrument cluster displays SHIFTDELAY PULL FORWARD perform thefollowing:
1. Press and hold the brake pedal.
2. Put the transmission into position N,and then start the engine.
3. With the engine running, shift thetransmission to position D and let thevehicle roll forward, up to 3 feet (1meter). You may hear an audible noiseas the transfer case shifts out of itsneutral position. This is normal.
