Detection issues can occur:
When driving on a different line
than the vehicle in front.
A
With vehicles that edge into your
lane. The system can only detect
these vehicles once they fully
move into your lane.
B
There may be issues with the
detection of vehicles in front
when driving into and coming out
of a bend or curve in the road.
C
In these cases, the system may brake late
or unexpectedly. You should stay alert and
take action when necessary. If something hits the front of your vehicle
or damage occurs, the radar-sensing zone
may change. This could cause the system
to malfunction. Have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible.
System Not Available
The system may not turn on if there is:
•
A blocked sensor.
• High brake temperature.
• A failure in the system or a related
system.
Adaptive Cruise Control System

operate if the sensor cannot track the
road lane markings. WARNING:
If damage occurs in the
immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. WARNING:
The system may not
correctly operate if your vehicle is fitted
with a suspension kit not approved by
us.
The system is designed to alert you by
providing temporary steering assistance
or steering wheel vibration when it detects
an unintended lane departure. The system
detects and tracks the road lane markings
using a camera mounted behind the
interior mirror. The system only operates
when the vehicle speed is greater than
approximately
37 mph (60 km/h). You
can view the system status in the
information display.
Note: The system works when the camera
can detect at least one lane marking or the
edge of the road.
The system may not correctly operate in
any of the following conditions:
• The system does not detect at least
one lane marking or the edge of the
road.
• You switch the direction indicator on.
• You apply direct steering, accelerate
fast or brake hard.
• The vehicle speed is less than
37 mph

BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM
WARNING: Do not use the blind
spot information system as a
replacement for using the interior and
exterior mirrors or looking over your

blind spot information system is not a
replacement for careful driving. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly during severe weather
conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy
rain and spray. Always drive with due
care and attention. Failure to take care
may result in a crash. The system is designed to detect vehicles
that may have entered the blind spot zone.
The detection area is on both sides of your
vehicle, extending rearward from the
exterior mirrors to approximately
13 ft
(4 m) beyond the rear bumper. The
detection area extends to approximately
59 ft (18 m)
beyond the rear bumper when
the vehicle speed is greater than 30 mph
(48 km/h) to alert you of faster
approaching vehicles. Note:
The system does not prevent contact
with other vehicles. It is not designed to
detect parked vehicles, pedestrians, animals
or other infrastructures.

Note: The system may not correctly operate
when towing a trailer. The system turns off
when you attach a trailer, if your vehicle has
an approved trailer tow module and tow
bar. For vehicles with an aftermarket trailer
tow module or tow bar, turn the system off
when you attach a trailer.
To permanently switch the system off,
contact an authorized dealer.
Blind Spot Information System

The blind spot information system with
trailer tow is designed to detect vehicles
that may have entered the blind spot zone.
The detection area is on both sides of your
vehicle and trailer, extending rearward
from the exterior mirrors to the end of your
trailer. When you attach a trailer and have
set up a trailer, the blind spot information
system with trailer tow becomes active
when driving forward above
6 mph
(10 km/h).
You can set up the trailer length, select a
trailer or switch blind spot information
system with trailer tow off.

CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
WARNING: Do not use the cross
traffic alert system as a replacement for
using the interior and exterior mirrors or
looking over your shoulder before
reversing out of a parking space. The
cross traffic alert system is not a
replacement for careful driving. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly during severe weather
conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy
rain and spray. Always drive with due
care and attention. Failure to take care
may result in a crash. The system is designed to alert you of
vehicles approaching from the sides behind
your vehicle when you shift into reverse
(R).
Using Cross Traffic Alert
The system is designed to detect vehicles
that approach at a speed between
4 mph
(6 km/h) and 37 mph (60 km/h). Coverage
decreases when the sensors are partially,
mostly or fully obstructed. Slowly reversing
helps increase the coverage area and
effectiveness.
The system turns on when you start the
engine and you shift into reverse (R). The
system turns off when you shift out of
reverse (R). The sensor on the left-hand side is only
partially obstructed and zone coverage on
the right-hand side is maximized.
