•
The sensing system reports the
obstacle which is closest to the front
or rear of the vehicle. For example, if
an obstacle is 24 inches (60
centimeters) from the front of the
vehicle and, at the same time, an
obstacle is only 16 inches (40
centimeters) from the rear of the
vehicle, the lower pitched tone sounds.
• An alternating warning sounds from
the front and rear if there are objects
at both bumpers that are closer than
10 inches (25 centimeters).
For specific information on the reverse
sensing portion of the system, refer to that
section.
ACTIVE PARK ASSIST (IF EQUIPPED) WARNING
This system is designed to be a
supplementary park aid. It may not
work in all conditions and is not intended
to replace the driver’ s attention and
judgment. The driver is responsible for
avoiding hazards and maintaining a safe
distance and speed, even when the
system is in use. Note:
The driver is always responsible for
controlling the vehicle, supervising the
system and intervening if required.
Note: The sensors may not detect objects
in heavy rain or other conditions that
cause disruptive reflections.
Note: The sensors may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic
waves. The system detects an available parallel
parking space and automatically steers
the vehicle into the space (hands-free)
while you control the accelerator, gearshift
and brakes. The system visually and
audibly instructs you to park the vehicle.
The system may not function correctly if
something passes between the front
bumper and the parking space (i.e. a
pedestrian or cyclist) or if the edge of the
neighboring parked vehicle is high from
the ground (i.e. a bus, tow truck or flatbed
truck).
The system should not be used if:
•
a foreign object (i.e. bike rack or trailer)
is attached to the front or rear of the
vehicle or at another location close to
the sensors.
• an overhanging object (i.e. surfboard)
is attached to the roof.
• the front bumper or side sensors are
damaged (i.e. in a collision) or
obstructed by a foreign object (i.e. front
bumper cover).
• a mini-spare tire is in use.
Using Active Park Assist Press the button located on the
right side of the center stack.
The touch screen displays a message and
a corresponding graphic to indicate it's
searching for a parking space. Use the turn
signal to indicate which side of the vehicle
you want the system to search on.
Note: If the turn signal is not on, the
system automatically searches on the
vehicle's passenger side.

BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM
Blind Spot Information System
(BLIS®) with Cross Traffic Alert (If
Equipped) WARNING
To help avoid injuries, NEVER use
the BLIS as a replacement for using
the interior and exterior mirrors and
looking over your shoulder before
changing lanes. BLIS is not a replacement
for careful driving and only an assist. BLIS aids you in detecting vehicles that
may have entered the blind spot zone (A).
The detection area is on both sides of the
vehicle, extending rearward from the
exterior mirrors to approximately 10 feet
(3 meters) beyond the bumper. The system
alerts you if certain vehicles enter the blind
spot zone while driving.
Cross traffic alert warns you of vehicles
approaching from the sides when the
transmission is in R (Reverse). Note:
BLIS is not designed to prevent
contact with other vehicles or objects; or
to detect parked vehicles, people, animals
or infrastructure (fences, guardrails, trees,
etc.). It is designed to alert the driver to
vehicles in the blind zones.
Note: When a vehicle passes quickly
through the blind zone, typically fewer
than two seconds, the system does not
trigger.
Using the Systems
BLIS turns on when the vehicle is started
and is driven forward above 5 mph (8
km/h); it remains on while the transmission
is in D (Drive) and N (Neutral). If shifted out
of D (Drive) or N (Neutral), the system
enters cross traffic alert mode. Once
shifted back into D (Drive), BLIS turns back
on when the vehicle is driven above 5 mph
(8 km/h).
Note: BLIS does not function in R (Reverse)
or P (Park) or provide any additional
warning when a turn signal is on.
Note: Cross traffic alert detects
approaching vehicles from up to 45 feet
(14 meters) away though coverage
decreases when the sensors are blocked.
Reversing slowly helps increase the
coverage area and effectiveness. WARNING
To help avoid personal injury, NEVER
use the cross traffic alert system as
a replacement for using the interior and
exterior mirrors and looking over your
shoulder before backing out of a parking
space. Cross traffic alert is not a
replacement for careful driving and only
an assist. 205

Reasons for messages being displayed
Clean the fascia area in
front of the radar or remove the obstruction.
The radar
surface is dirty or
obstructed
Drive normally in traffic fora few minutes to allow the radar to detect passing
vehicles so it can clear the blocked state.
The radar
surface is
not dirty or obstructed
No action required. The
system automatically resets
to an unblocked state once the rainfall or snowfall rate
decreases or stops. Do not use BLIS or cross traffic
alert in these conditions.
Heavy rain-
fall/snow-fall inter-
feres with the radar signals
System Limitations
The BLIS and cross traffic alert systems do
have their limitations; situations such as
severe weather conditions or debris
build-up on the sensor area may limit
vehicle detection.
The following are other situations that may
limit the BLIS:
• Certain maneuvering of vehicles
entering and exiting the blind zone.
• Vehicles passing through the blind
zone at very fast rates.
• When several vehicles forming a
convoy pass through the blind zone. The following are other situations that may
limit the cross traffic alert system:
•
Adjacently parked vehicles or objects
obstructing the sensors.
• Approaching vehicles passing at
speeds greater than 15 mph (24 km/h).
• Driving in reverse faster than 5 mph (8
km/h).
• Backing out of an angled parking spot.
False Alerts
Note: If a trailer is connected to the
vehicle the BLIS system may detect the
trailer causing a false alert. You may want
to turn the BLIS off manually.
There may be certain instances when
either the BLIS or cross traffic alert
systems illuminate the alert indicator with
no vehicle in the coverage zone; this is
known as a false alert. Some amount of
false alerts are normal; they are temporary
and self-correct.
System Errors
If either system senses a problem with the
left or right sensor, the BLIS telltale will
illuminate and a message will appear in
the information display.
All other system faults will only be
displayed by a message in the information
display.
Switching the Systems Off and On
One or both systems can be switched off
temporarily by using the information
display control. See General Information
(page 97). When the BLIS is switched off,
you will not receive alerts and a telltale
illuminates in the information display.
