Information Displays

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).

•Correct tire pressures.
•Uneven tire wear.
•Loose or worn suspensioncomponents.
•Loose or worn steering components.
•Improper vehicle alignment.
Note:A high crown in the road or highcrosswinds may also make the steeringseem to wander or pull.
Adaptive Learning
The electronic power steering systemadaptive learning helps correct roadirregularities and improves overall handlingand steering feel. It communicates withthe brake system to help operateadvanced stability control and accidentavoidance systems. Additionally, wheneverthe battery is disconnected or a newbattery installed, you must drive yourvehicle a short distance before the systemrelearns the strategy and reactivates allsystems.
