Detection issues can occur:
When driving on a different linethan the vehicle in front.A
With vehicles that edge into yourlane. The system can only detectthese vehicles once they movefully into your lane.
B
There may be issues with thedetection of vehicles in frontwhen driving into and coming outof a bend or curve in the road.
C
In these cases the system may brake lateor unexpectedly. Stay alert and take actionwhen necessary.
If something hits the front end of yourvehicle or damage occurs, theradar-sensing zone may change. This couldcause missed or false vehicle detections.Contact an authorized dealer to have themcheck for proper coverage and operation.
System Not Available
Conditions that can cause the system todeactivate or prevent the system fromactivating when requested include:
•A blocked sensor.
•High brake temperature.
•A failure in the system or a relatedsystem.
Note:If you disable electronic stabilitycontrol, adaptive cruise control is notavailable. See Using Stability Control(page 227).
Blocked Sensor
A message displays if something obstructsthe radar signals from the sensor. Thesensor is behind a cover near the driver sideof the lower grille. The system cannotdetect a vehicle ahead and does notfunction when something obstructs theradar signals. The following table listspossible causes and actions for thismessage displaying.

ActionCause
Clean the grille surface in front of the radaror remove the object causing the obstruc-tion.
The surface of the radar in the grille is dirtyor obstructed in some way.
Wait a short time. It may take severalminutes for the radar to detect that it is freefrom obstruction.
The surface of the radar in the grille is cleanbut the message remains in the display.
Do not use the system in these conditionsbecause it may not detect any vehiclesahead.
Heavy rain or snow is interfering with theradar signals.
Do not use the system in these conditionsbecause it may not detect any vehiclesahead.
Swirling water, or snow or ice on the surfaceof the road may interfere with the radarsignals.
Wait a short time or switch to normal cruisecontrol.You are in a desert or remote area with noother vehicles and no roadside objects.
Due to the nature of radar technology, it ispossible to get a blockage warning and nothave a blockage. This can happen, forexample, when driving in sparse rural ordesert environments. A false blockedcondition either self clears or clears aftera key cycle.
Switching to Normal CruiseControl
WARNING
Normal cruise control will not brakewhen your vehicle is approachingslower vehicles. Always be aware ofwhich mode you have selected and applythe brakes when necessary.
You can manually change from adaptivecruise control to normal cruise controlthrough the information display. SeeInformation Messages (page 128).
The cruise control indicator lightreplaces the adaptive cruisecontrol indicator light if youselect normal cruise control. The gapsetting does not display, the system doesnot automatically respond to lead vehiclesand automatic braking remains active tomaintain set speed. The system recalls itslast setting when you start your vehicle.

System Display
When you switch on the system, anoverhead graphic of a vehicle with lanemarkings appears in the display screen.
Note:The overhead vehicle graphic maystill display if adaptive cruise control isenabled.
While the system is on, the color of thelane markings change to indicate thesystem status.
Gray: Indicates that the system istemporarily unable to provide a warningon the indicated side(s). This may bebecause:
•Your vehicle is under the activationspeed.
•Your turn indicator is active.
•Your vehicle is in a dynamic maneuver.
•The road has no or poor lane markingsin the camera field-of-view.
•The camera is obscured or unable todetect the lane markings due toenvironmental conditions (significantsun angles, shadows, snow, heavy rain,fog), traffic conditions (following alarge vehicle that is blocking orshadowing the lane), or vehicleconditions (poor headlampillumination).
See Troubleshooting for additionalinformation.
Green: Indicates that the system isavailable or ready to provide a warning onthe indicated side(s).
Red: Indicates that the system is providingor has just provided a lane keeping alertwarning.
You can temporarily disable the system atany time by doing the following:
•Quick braking.
•Fast acceleration.
•Using your direction indicator.
•Evasive steering maneuver.
Troubleshooting
Why is the feature not available (line markings are gray) when I can see the lane markingson the road?
Vehicle speed is outside the operational range of the feature
Sun is shining directly into the camera lens
Quick intentional lane change
Staying too close to the lane marking
Driving at high speeds in curves

The system uses radar sensors that arelocated inside the tail lamp on each sideof your vehicle. Any dirt, mud and snow infront of the sensors or driving in heavy raincan cause system degradation. Also, othertypes of obstructions in front of the sensorcan cause system degradation. This isreferred to as a ‘blocked’ condition.
Note:Do not apply bumper stickers and/orrepair compound to these areas, this cancause degraded system performance.
If the system detects a degradedperformance condition, a message warningappears in the display screen. The alertindicators remain ON and the system willno longer provides any warnings. You canclear the warning but the alert indicatorsremain illuminated.
A "blocked" condition can be cleared intwo ways:
•After the blockage in front of thesensors is removed or therainfall/snowfall rate decreases orstops, drive for a few minutes in trafficto allow the sensors to detect passingvehicles.
•By cycling the ignition from ON to OFFand then back ON.
Note:If your vehicle has a tow bar with afactory equipped trailer tow module and itis towing a trailer, the sensors willautomatically turn the Blind SpotInformation System off. If your vehicle hasa tow bar but no factory equipped trailertow module, it is recommended to turn theBlind Spot Information System offmanually. Operating the Blind SpotInformation System without the Blind SpotTrailer Tow package and a trailer attachedwill cause poor system performance.
Blind Spot Information Systemwith Trailer Tow (If Equipped)
The Blind Spot Information System withTrailer Tow is designed to aid you indetecting vehicles that may have enteredthe detection area zone (A). The detectionarea is on both sides of your vehicle andtrailer, extending rearward from theexterior mirrors to the end of your trailer.
When a trailer is attached and thecustomer has set up a Blind Spot Trailer,the Blind Spot Information System withTrailer Tow becomes active when drivingforward above 6 mph (10 km/h). SeeTrailer Reversing Aids (page 269).
The Blind Spot Information System withTrailer Tow can be turned off in theinstrument cluster. If the Blind SpotInformation System is turned off, then theBlind Spot Information System with TrailerTow automatically turns off.

System Operation
If you select a trailer in the display screenprior to connecting the trailer, the systemwill load that configuration and theinformation cluster displays a messagewhen the trailer is connected. A secondmessage appears stating Cross TrafficAlert has been turned off; the Blind SpotInformation System with Trailer Tow stillfunctions normally when driving forward.
If no trailer has been set up and a trailer isconnected, the instrument cluster providesa message indicating a trailer is connectedfollowed by a message asking to select atrailer from the existing list of trailers or toadd a trailer. In order for the Blind SpotInformation System with Trailer Tow tofunction, an existing trailer must beselected or a new trailer must be added. Ifthe request is ignored or if you exit thescreen, a message appears prompting youthat the system has been turned off dueto a trailer connect. This message may notappear until your vehicle speed reaches22 mph (35 km/h).
The Blind Spot Information System withTrailer Tow activates when driving forwardfor that particular trailer set up. If theignition is cycled, the Blind SpotInformation System with Trailer Towcontinues to function using the last trailerselected.
Trailer Considerations
The Blind Spot Information System withTrailer Tow is designed to work with anytrailer whose front width is 8.5 ft (2.6 m)or less and total length from the trailerhitch ball to the rear of the trailer is 30 ft(9 m) or less. Different trailers may causea slight change in performance as outlinedbelow.
Large box trailers may cause false alertsto trigger when driving next to buildings ornear parking cars. A false alert may alsooccur while making a 90-degree turn.
Trailers that are 8.5 ft (2.6 m) wide at thefront and have a total length greater than20 ft (6 m) may have delayed alerts frompassing vehicles when the vehicle ispassing at high speed.
A box trailer whose front width is 8.5 ft(2.6 m) may cause early alerts when youare over taking a vehicle.
When towing a clam shell or V-Nose boxtrailer with a front width of 8.5 ft (2.6 m),delayed alerts on merging vehicles that aretraveling the same speed as your vehiclemay occur.
System Errors
If the system senses a problem with theleft or right sensor, the telltale illuminatesand a message appears in the displayscreen. See Information Messages(page 128).
Switching the System Off and On
You can temporarily switch the Blind SpotInformation System off in the displayscreen. See General Information (page111). When the Blind Spot InformationSystem switches off, you do not receivealerts and the display screen shows asystem off message. The telltale in thecluster also illuminates. When you switchthe Blind Spot Information System on oroff, the alert indicators flash twice.
Note:The Blind Spot Information Systemremembers the last selected on or offsetting.
You can also have the Blind SpotInformation System switched offpermanently at an authorized dealer. Onceswitched off permanently, the system canonly be switched back on at an authorizeddealer.
