The Blind Spot Information System isdesigned to aid you in detecting vehiclesthat may have entered the blind spot zone(A). The detection area is on both sides ofyour vehicle, extending rearward from theexterior mirrors to approximately 13 ft(4 m) beyond the bumper. The system isdesigned to alert you if certain vehiclesenter the blind spot zone while driving.
Using the System
The Blind Spot Information System turnson when you start the engine and you driveyour vehicle forward above 5 mph(8 km/h).
For automatic transmissions, the BlindSpot Information System remains on whilethe transmission is in drive (D). If shiftedinto reverse (R) or park (P) the Blind SpotInformation System turns off. Once shiftedback into drive (D), the Blind SpotInformation System turns back on whenyou drive your vehicle above 5 mph(8 km/h).
Note:For automatic transmissions, theBlind Spot Information System does notfunction in reverse (R) or park (P).
For manual transmissions, the Blind SpotInformation System is on for all gearsexcept reverse (R).

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.

CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (If
Equipped)
WARNING
Never use the Cross Traffic Alertsystem as a replacement for usingthe interior and exterior mirrors andlooking over your shoulder before backingout of a parking space. Cross Traffic Alertis not a replacement for careful driving.
Note:When a trailer is detected, CrossTraffic Alert automatically turns off.
Cross Traffic Alert is designed to warn youof vehicles approaching from the sideswhen the transmission is in reverse (R).
Using the System
Cross Traffic Alert turns on when you startthe engine and you shift into reverse (R).Once shifted out of reverse (R), CrossTraffic Alert turns off.
Cross Traffic Alert is designed to detectvehicles that approach the rear of yourvehicle with a speed up to 37 mph(60 km/h). Coverage decreases when thesensors are partially, mostly or fullyobstructed. Reversing slowly helpsincrease the coverage area andeffectiveness.
In this first example, the left sensor is onlypartially obstructed; zone coverage to theright is nearly maximized.
Zone coverage also decreases whenparking at shallow angles. Here, the leftsensor is mostly obstructed; zone coverageon that side is severely limited.

The active guidelines fade in and outdepending on the steering wheel position.The active guidelines are not shown whenthe steering wheel position is straight.
Always use caution while reversing.Objects in the red zone are closest to yourvehicle and objects in the green zone arefarther away. Objects are getting closer toyour vehicle as they move from the greenzone to the yellow or red zones. Use theside view mirrors and rear view mirror toget better coverage on both sides and rearof your vehicle.
Refer to the Rear View Camera section foradditional information. See Rear ViewCamera (page 232).
Hitches
Note:On pick-up trucks, the trailer hitchprovided on this vehicle enhances crashprotection for the fuel system. Do notremove!
Note:Do not cut, drill, weld or modify trailerhitches. Modifying trailer hitches can reducehitch rating.
Do not use a hitch that either clamps ontothe bumper or attaches to the axle. Youmust distribute the load in your trailer sothat 10-15% for conventional towing or15-25% for fifth wheel towing of the totalweight of the trailer is on the tongue.
Hitch components (If Equipped)
The following components will be includedin certain vehicles.
•A 5/8 inch hitch pin rated to tow up to21,000 lbs.
•A 3 inch drawbar.
•A hitch pin sleeve to be used whenmounting the 3 inch drawbar.
•A clevis pin to help keep the hitch pinin place.
Weight-distributing Hitches
WARNING
Do not adjust the spring bars so thatyour vehicle's rear bumper is higherthan before attaching the trailer.Doing so will defeat the function of theweight-distributing hitch, which may causeunpredictable handling, and could resultin serious personal injury.
When hooking-up a trailer using aweight-distributing hitch, always use thefollowing procedure:
1. Park the loaded vehicle, without thetrailer, on a level surface.
2. Measure the height to the top of yourvehicle's front wheel opening on thefender. This is H1.
3.Attach the loaded trailer to your vehiclewithout the weight-distributing barsconnected.
4. Measure the height to the top of yourvehicle's front wheel opening on thefender a second time. This is H2.
5. Install and adjust the tension in theweight-distributing bars so that theheight of your vehicle's front wheelopening on the fender is approximatelyhalfway between H1 and H2.
6.Check that the trailer is level or slightlynose down toward your vehicle. If not,adjust the ball height accordingly andrepeat Steps 2-6.
