System Lights and Messages
When the system detects a vehicle, an alert
indicator illuminates in the exterior mirror on
the side the approaching vehicle is coming
from. If you turn the direction indicator on for
that side of your vehicle, the alert indicator
flashes.
Note:
The system may not alert you if a
vehicle quickly passes through the detection
zone. Blocked Sensors
The sensors are behind the rear bumper on
both sides of your vehicle.
Note:
Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt.
Note: Do not cover the sensors with bumper
stickers, repair compound or other objects.
Note: Blocked sensors could affect system
performance.
If the sensors become blocked, a message
could appear in the information display. See
Information Messages (page 134). The alert
indicators remain illuminated but the system
does not alert you. System Errors
If the system detects a fault, a warning lamp
illuminates and a message displays. See
Information Messages (page 134).
Switching the System On and Off
To switch the system on or off, adjust the
setting. Depending on your vehicle options,
the setting could be in the following:
• Information display.
See General
Information (page 130).
• Touchscreen.
See Settings (page 498).
When you switch the system off, a warning
lamp illuminates and the alert indicators flash
twice.
Note: The system remembers the last setting
when you start your vehicle.
Note: The system may not correctly operate
when towing a trailer. For vehicles with an
approved trailer tow module and tow bar,
the system turns off when you attach a
trailer. For vehicles with an aftermarket
trailer tow module or tow bar, we
recommend that you switch the system off
when you attach a trailer.

•
Enter length of trailer:
Toggling up or down using the menu buttons
increases or decreases the measurement by
3 ft (1 m). Select a length that is equal to or
within 3 ft (1 m) of the actual measured
length. For example, if the actual measured
length is
25 ft (7.6 m), toggle the length in
the menu to 8 m or 27 ft. When you enter the
length of the trailer, this saves the system
setup.
Note: When you connect a trailer, but do not
setup a trailer in the blind spot information
system, the system turns off and a warning
appears in the information display.
Note: If the trailer is a bike rack or cargo
rack with electrical lighting, enter a length
of
3 ft (1 m). Cross Traffic Alert remains on
for trailers with a length of 3 ft (1 m) or less.
Note: The system requires proper
measurement and measurement entry to
function as designed. System Operation
If you select a trailer in the information
display prior to connecting a trailer, the
system loads that configuration and the
information display shows a message when
you connect the trailer. A second message
appears stating cross traffic alert is off, unless
a trailer is set up with a length of
3 ft (1 m).
The blind spot information system with trailer
tow still functions normally when driving
forward.
If you connect a trailer, a message appears
indicating that you attached a trailer. If you
have not selected a trailer previously,
another message appears requesting you to
select one of the trailers in the list or add a
new trailer. The blind spot information system
with trailer tow does not function without a
trailer selected. If you do not select a trailer,
a message appears in the information display
stating it has deactivated the system. This
message might not appear until your vehicle
speed reaches
22 mph (35 km/h). The blind spot information system with trailer
tow activates when driving forward for that
particular trailer set up. If you cycle the
ignition, the blind spot information system
with trailer tow continues to function using
the last trailer you selected.
Trailer Considerations
The system works with a trailer with a front
width of
8.2 ft (2.5 m) or less, and a total
length from the trailer hitch ball to the rear
of the trailer of
33 ft (10 m) or less.
Some trailers could cause a slight change in
system performance:
• Wide box trailers, especially those wider
than the towing vehicle, could cause false
alerts to occur when driving next to
infrastructure or near parked cars. A false
alert could also occur while making a
90-degree turn or driving through a
roundabout.
• Wide trailers that have a total length
greater than
20 ft (6 m) could cause
delayed alerts when a vehicle is passing
at high speeds.
