SiriusXM Guardian™ In-Vehicle Assistance Features
With SiriusXM Guardian™, your vehicle has
onboard
assistance features located on the
rearview mirror or overhead console designed to
enhance your driving experience if you should ever
need assistance or support.
Description
SOS Call offers a convenient way to get in contact
w ith a
SiriusXM Guardian™ Customer Care agent
in the event of an emergency. When the
connection between the vehicle and the live agent
is made, your vehicle will automatically transmit
location information. In the event of a minor
collision, medical or any other emergency, press
the SOS button to be connected to a call center
agent who can send emergency assistance to your
vehicle’s location.
NOTE:
Certain SiriusXM Guardian™ connected services

GPS network availability. Not all features of
SiriusXM Guardian™ are available everywhere at
all times, particularly in remote or enclosed areas.
How It Works
1. Push the SOS Call button; the indicator light will
turn green indicating a call has been
placed.
NOTE:
In case the SOS Call button is accidentally
pushed, there is a 10-second delay before

made. To cancel the SOS Call connection,
push the SOS Call button on the rearview
mirror or overhead console or press the
Cancel button on the touchscreen within 10
seconds.
During an SOS Call, the Bluetooth®-paired

requi r
ed for this feature to function.
After a crash where the airbags deploy:
1. Automatic SOS will initiate a call with an agen t
.
2. An agent will receive the call and confirm the locati
on of the emergency.
3. If needed, the agent will request the assis
tance of emergency services.
4. First responders will arrive on scene. The agent
will remain on the call until emergency
services arrive.

case of an emergency.
On your behalf, agents are able to notify family
members about the collision.
Agents can brief first responders of the situation
before they arrive on scene.
In the event vehicle occupants are unable to
speak, emergency services will be dispatched
based on the last known GPS coordinates.
SiriusXM Guardian™ connected services are
dependent upon an operative telematics
device, a cellular connection, navigation map
data, and GPS satellite reception, which can
limit the ability to reach the response center or
reach emergency support.

a ir ba
g system is detected. If the Air Bag
Warning Light is illuminated, the air bag
system may not be working properly and the
SOS Call system may not be able to send a
signal to the SiriusXM Guardian™ Customer
Care center. If the Air Bag Warning Light is illu -
minated, have an authorized dealer service
your v e
hicle immediately.

Care agent. All occupants should exit the
vehicle immediately and move to a safe loca -
tion.

228 SAFETY
AUXILIARY DRIVING SYSTEMS
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) —
I
F EQUIPPED
BSM uses two radar-based sensors, located inside
the rear fascia/bumper to detect highway
licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks,
motorcycles, etc.) that enter the blind spot zones
from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
Rear Detection Zones
When the vehicle is started, the BSM Warning Light
will m
omentarily illuminate in both outside rearview mirrors to let the driver know that the
system is operational. The BSM system sensors
operate when the vehicle is in any forward gear
and enters standby mode when the vehicle is in
PARK (P).
The BSM detection zone covers approximately one
lane
w
idth on both sides of the vehicle, 10 ft (3 m).
The z on
e length starts at the outside mirror and
extends approximately 20 ft (6 m) beyond the rear
fascia
/bumper of the vehicle. The BSM system
monitors the detection zones on both sides of the
vehicle when the vehicle speed reaches
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and will
alert
the driver of vehicles in these areas.
NOTE:
The BSM system DOES NOT alert the driver
about rapidly approaching vehicles that are
outside the detection zones.
If a trailer is connected to the vehicle, it is neces -
sary to deactivate the BSM system manually
t h r
ou g
h
the settings menu to avoid a misdetec -
tion. For further information, see Ú page 133.
The area on the rear fascia/bumper where the
r adar
sensors are located must remain free of
snow, ice, and dirt/road contamination so that the
BSM system can function properly. Do not block
the radar sensors located on the rear fascia/
bumper with foreign objects (bumper stickers,
bicycle racks, etc.).
Rear Sensor Locations
The BSM system notifies the driver of objects in the
detec t
ion zones by illuminating the BSM warning
light located in the outside mirrors in addition to
sounding an audible (chime) alert and reducing the
radio volume Ú page 231.
BSM Warning Light
WARNING!
If TSC activates while driving, slow the vehicle
down, stop at the nearest safe location, and
adjust the trailer load to eliminate trailer sway.
