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.

230 SAFETY
The BSM system is designed not to issue an alert
on stationary objects such as guardrails, posts,
walls, foliage, berms, etc. However, occasionally
the system may alert on such objects. This is
normal operation and your vehicle does not require
service.
The BSM system will not alert you of objects that
are t r

aveling in the opposite direction of the vehicle
in adjacent lanes Ú page 349.

Opposing Traffic

Rear Cross Path (RCP)
RCP is intended to aid the driver when backing out
of parking spaces where their vision of oncoming
vehicles may be blocked. Proceed slowly and
cautiously out of the parking space until the rear
end of the vehicle is exposed. The RCP system will
then have a clear view of the cross traffic and if an
oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the driver.
RCP Detection Zones

RCP monitors the rear detection zones on both
sides

of the vehicle, for objects that are moving
toward the side of the vehicle with a minimum
speed of approximately 1 mph (2 km/h), to objects
moving

a maximum of approximately 22 mph
(35 km /
h), such as in parking lot situations.
When RCP is on and the vehicle is in REVERSE (R),
the dr
iver is alerted using both the visual and
audible alarms, including reducing the radio
volume.
WARNING!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only an aid
to help detect objects in the blind spot zones.
The BSM system is not designed to detect
pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals. Even if your
vehicle is equipped with the BSM system, always
check your vehicle’s mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and use your turn signal before
changing lanes. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.

SAFETY 231
NOTE:
In a parking lot situation, oncoming vehicles can be
blocke d
by vehicles parked on either side. If the
sensors are blocked by other structures or
vehicles, the system will not be able to alert the
driver.
Blind Spot Modes
Blind Spot has three selectable modes of
operation that are available in the Uconnect
system.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the BSM
s ystem

will provide a visual alert in the appropriate
side view mirror based on a detected object.
However, when the system is operating in Rear
Cross Path (RCP) mode, the system will respond with both visual and audible alerts when a
detected object is present. Whenever an audible
alert is requested, the radio is muted.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
m
ode, t

he BSM system will provide a visual alert in
the appropriate side view mirror based on a
detected object. If the turn signal is then activated,
and it corresponds to an alert present on that side
of the vehicle, an audible chime will also be
sounded. Whenever a turn signal and detected
object are present on the same side at the same
time, both the visual and audible alerts will be
issued. In addition to the audible alert, the radio (if
on) will also be muted.
NOTE:
Whenever an audible alert is requested by the
BSM s y
stem, the radio is also muted.
When the system is in RCP, the system will respond
with b
oth visual and audible alerts when a
detected object is present. Whenever an audible
alert is requested, the radio is also muted. Turn/
hazard signal status is ignored; the RCP state
always requests the chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off, there will be a
relat e

d message on instrument cluster display. If
BSM system is off, this message will be visualized
every time the vehicle is restarted.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the current operating
mode w h
en the vehicle is shut off. Each time the
vehicle is started the previously stored mode will
be recalled and used.
Blind Spot Monitoring Fault Warnings
Blinded Sensor
In the case of a sensor that is blinded:
BSM Mirror Warning Lights are turned on contin -
uously
An instrument cluster dedicated message will
display
NOTE:
The rear fascia/bumper must be clean and free of
any ob s
tructing debris.
System Not Available
In the case of the system being temporarily
unava i

lable:
BSM Mirror Warning Lights are turned on contin -
uously
An instrument cluster dedicated message will
display
In the case of the system being completely
unavai
lable:
A chime will sound
An instrument cluster dedicated message will
display
WARNING!
Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP) is not a backup
aid system. It is intended to be used to help a
driver detect an oncoming vehicle in a parking
lot situation. Drivers must be careful when
backing up, even when using RCP. Always check
carefully behind your vehicle, look behind you,
and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots
before backing up. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.

232 SAFETY
NOTE:
Vehicle must be taken to the nearest authorized
deale r
for service.
FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW)
W
ITH MITIGATION OPERATION —
I
F EQUIPPED
FCW with Mitigation provides the driver with
audible warnings (through the radio), visual
warnings (within the instrument cluster display),
and may apply a brake jerk to warn the driver when
it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings
and limited braking are intended to provide the
driver with enough time to react, avoid or mitigate
the potential collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the forward
looking sensors as well as the Electronic Brake
Controller (EBC), to calculate the probability of a
forward collision. When the system determines
that a forward collision is probable, the driver
will be provided with audible and visual warn -
ings and may provide a brake jerk warning.
If the driver does not take action based upon
these progressive warnings, then the system
will provide a limited level of active braking to
help slow the vehicle and mitigate the potential
forward collision. If the driver reacts to the warn -
ings by braking and the system determines that the d
r
iver intends to avoid the collision by
braking but has not applied sufficient brake
force, the system will compensate and provide
additional brake force as required.
Vehicles With A Manual Transmission : Afte
r the
end of the intervention of automatic braking, the
engine could stall, unless the driver can press the
clutch pedal.
Vehicles With Automatic Transmission : Afte
r the
end of the intervention of automatic braking, the
transmission may remain in last gear stored:
therefore the vehicle could lurch forward, once the
brakes release a few seconds later. If the Forward
Collision Warning with Mitigation event stops the
vehicle completely, the system will hold the vehicle
at standstill for two seconds and then release the
brakes.
If a FCW with Mitigation event begins at a speed
below 2

6 mph (42 km/h), the system may provide
the m a
ximum braking possible to mitigate the
potential forward collision. If the Forward Collision
Warning with Mitigation event stops the vehicle
completely, the system will hold the vehicle at
standstill for two seconds and then release the
brakes.
FCW Message

When the system determines a collision with the
vehic l

e in front of you is no longer probable, the
warning message will be deactivated.
NOTE:
The minimum speed for FCW activation is
3 mph (5 km/h).
The FCW alerts may be triggered on objects
other than vehicles such as guardrails or sign
posts based on the course prediction. This is
expected and is a part of normal FCW activation
and functionality.
The FCW system is intended for on-road use
only. If the vehicle is taken off-road, the FCW
system should be deactivated to prevent unnec
-
essary warnings to the surroundings.

SAFETY 237
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check the tire
press u
re in all of the tires on your vehicle monthly
and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following components:
Receiver module
Four Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Light
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM LOW
PRESSURE WARNINGS
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Light will illuminate in the instrument
clust e
r, a “LOW TIRE PRESSURE”
message will display in the instrument
cluster, an "Inflate to XX" message will be displayed
and a chime will sound when tire pressure is low in
one or more of the four active road tires. Should
this occur, you should stop as soon as possible,
check the inflation pressure of each tire on your
vehicle, and inflate each tire to the vehicle’s
recommended cold placard pressure value as
shown in the "Inflate to XX" message. Once the
system receives the updated tire pressures, the
system will automatically update and the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System Light will turn off.
NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may need
to be i
ncreased up to an additional 4 psi (28 kPa)
above the recommended cold placard pressure in
order to turn the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Light off. The vehicle may need to be driven for up
to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order
for th e

TPMS to receive this information.
SERVICE TPMS WARNING
When a system fault is detected, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on solid. The system
fault
will also sound a chime. If the ignition is
cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the
system fault still exists. The Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Light will turn off when the fault
condition no longer exists. A system fault can occur
due to any of the following:
Jamming due to electronic devices or driving
next to facilities emitting the same radio
frequencies as the TPMS sensors.
Installing some form of aftermarket window
tinting that affects radio wave signals.
Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel
housings.
Using tire chains on the vehicle.
Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS
sensors. Vehicles With Compact Spare Or Non-Matching
Full
S

ize Spare

1. The compact spare tire or non-matching full size
spare tire does not have a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System sensor. Therefore, the
TPMS will not monitor the pressure in the
spare tire.

2. If you install the compact or non-matching full size

spare tire in place of a road tire that has a
pressure below the low-pressure warning limit, a
chime will sound and the TPMS Light and “LOW
TIRE PRESSURE” and "Inflate to XX" messages
will turn on upon the next ignition cycle.

3. After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minu
tes
above 1
5 mph (24 km/h), the TPMS Light will
flash
on and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on solid.
4. For each subsequent ignition cycle, a chime will

sound and the TPMS Light will flash on and
off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.
5. Once you repair or replace the original road tire and r

einstall it on the vehicle in place of the
compact spare or non-matching full size spare,
the TPMS will update automatically and the
“TPMS Light” will turn off, as long as no tire
pressure is below the low-pressure warning
limit in any of the four active road tires. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to
20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order
for th e

TPMS to receive this information.

238 SAFETY
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Operation
TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel rim
mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each wheel
as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pressure
readings to the receiver module.
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check the tire
press u
re in all of the tires on your vehicle monthly
and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following components:
Receiver module
Four Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors
Various Tire Pressure Monitoring System
messages, which display in the instrument
cluster
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Light
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM LOW
PRESSURE WARNINGS
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Light will illuminate in the instrument
c lu
st
e
r and a chime will sound when tire
pressure is low in one or more of the four
active road tires. In addition, the instrument
cluster will display a "Tire Low" message for a minimum of five seconds and a graphic showing
the pressure values of each tire with the low tire
pressure values in a different color.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System Low Pressure Warning

Should this occur, you should stop as soon as
possibl
e and inflate the tires with low pressure
(those in a different color in the instrument cluster
graphic) to the vehicle’s recommended cold
placard pressure value as shown in the "Inflate to
XX" message. Once the system receives the
updated tire pressures, the system will
automatically update, the pressure values in the
graphic display in the instrument cluster will return
to their original color, and the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Light will turn off.
NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may need
to be i
ncreased up to an additional 4 psi (28 kPa)
above the recommended cold placard pressure in order to turn the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Light off.
The vehicle may need to be driven for up to
20
min u

tes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for
t h
e
T P
MS to receive this information.
SERVICE TPMS WARNING
When a system fault is detected, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on solid. The system
f ault

will also sound a chime. In addition, the
instrument cluster will display a "SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM" message for a minimum of five seconds
and then display dashes (--) in place of the
pressure value to indicate which sensor is not
being received.
If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will
repea t

, providing the system fault still exists. If the
system fault no longer exists, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Light will no longer flash, and
the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message will no
longer display, and a pressure value will display in
place of the dashes. A system fault can occur due
to any of the following:
Jamming due to electronic devices or driving
next to facilities emitting the same radio
frequencies as the TPMS sensors
Installing some form of aftermarket window
tinting that affects radio wave signals

SAFETY 249
Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all
collisions, and also are needed to help keep you in
position, away from an inflating air bag.
When the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
detec t

s a collision requiring the front air bags, it
signals the inflator units. A large quantity of
non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the front air
bags.
The steering wheel hub trim cover and the upper
passe n

ger side of the instrument panel separate
and fold out of the way as the air bags inflate to
their full size. The front air bags fully inflate in less
time than it takes to blink your eyes. The front air
bags then quickly deflate while helping to restrain
the driver and front passenger.
Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees
of the driver and front passenger, and position the
front occupants for improved interaction with the
front air bags.
Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental
Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the instrument
panel below the steering column. The
Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag provides
enhanced protection during a frontal impact by
working together with the seat belts,
pretensioners, and front air bags.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs)
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental
S ea
t-
M

ounted Side Air Bags (SABs).
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs)
are loc
ated in the outboard side of the front seats.
The SABs are marked with “SRS AIRBAG” or
“AIRBAG” on a label or on the seat trim on the
outboard side of the seats.
The SABs may help to reduce the risk of occupant
injur y

during certain side impacts, in addition to
the injury reduction potential provided by the seat
belts and body structure.
Front Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag

When the SAB deploys, it opens the seam on the
outboar d

side of the seatback’s trim cover. The
inflating SAB deploys through the seat seam into
the space between the occupant and the door. The
SAB moves at a very high speed and with such a
high force that it could injure occupants if they are
not seated properly, or if items are positioned in
the area where the SAB inflates. Children are at an
even greater risk of injury from a deploying air bag.
WARNING!
Do not drill, cut, or tamper with the knee
impact bolsters in any way.
Do not mount any accessories to the knee
impact bolsters such as alarm lights, stereos,
citizen band radios, etc.
WARNING!
Do not use accessory seat covers or place
objects between you and the Side Air Bags; the
performance could be adversely affected and/or
objects could be pushed into you, causing
serious injury.
