WHAT IS BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM
BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert
Blind spot information system detectsvehicles that may have entered the blindspot zone.
HOW DOES BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM WORK
Blind spot information system uses sensorson both sides of your vehicle, detectingrearward from the exterior mirrors toapproximately 13 ft (4 m) beyond the rearbumper. The detection area extends toapproximately 59 ft (18 m) beyond the rearbumper when the vehicle speed is greaterthan 30 mph (48 km/h) to alert you of fasterapproaching vehicles.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not use the blind spotinformation system as a replacement forusing the interior and exterior mirrors orlooking over your shoulder beforechanging lanes. The blind spot informationsystem is not a replacement for carefuldriving.
WARNING: The system may notoperate properly during severe weatherconditions, for example snow, ice, heavyrain and spray. Always drive with due careand attention. Failure to take care mayresult in a crash.
Note: Blind spot information system doesnot prevent contact with other vehicles. Itdoes not detect parked vehicles,pedestrians, animals or other infrastructure.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
Blind spot information system does notoperate in park (P) or reverse (R).
The system may not alert you if a vehiclequickly passes through the detection zone.

WHAT IS CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
The system alerts you of vehiclesapproaching from the sides behind yourvehicle when you shift into reverse (R).
HOW DOES CROSS TRAFFIC
ALERT WORK
Cross traffic alert detects vehicles thatapproach at a speed between 4–37 mph(6–60 km/h). Coverage decreases when thesensors are partially, mostly or fullyobstructed.
The sensor on the left-hand side is onlypartially obstructed and zone coverage onthe right-hand side is maximized.
Zone coverage also decreases when parkingat narrow angles. The sensor on the left-handside is mostly obstructed and zone coverageon that side is severely reduced.
Note: Slowly reversing helps increase thecoverage area and effectiveness.
CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not use the crosstraffic alert system as a replacement forusing the interior and exterior mirrors orlooking over your shoulder beforereversing out of a parking space. The crosstraffic alert system is not a replacement forcareful driving.
WARNING: The system may notoperate properly during severe weatherconditions, for example snow, ice, heavyrain and spray. Always drive with due careand attention. Failure to take care mayresult in a crash.

WHAT IS PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
Pre-collision assist detects and warns ofapproaching hazards in the roadway. If yourvehicle is rapidly approaching anotherstationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in thesame direction as yours, or a pedestrianwithin your driving path, the system providesmultiple levels of assistance to help avoid acollision.
HOW DOES PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST WORK
Pre-Collision Assist with AutomaticEmergency Braking
The system warns the driver of potentialhazards by providing three levels ofassistance.
If your vehicle is rapidly approachingpotential hazards, the system provides thefollowing levels of functionality:
1.Alert.
2.Brake Support.
3.Automatic Emergency Braking.
Alert: When active, a flashing visual warningappears and an audible warning tonesounds.
Brake Support: The system is designed tohelp reduce the impact speed by preparingthe brakes for rapid braking. The systemdoes not automatically apply the brakes. Ifyou press the brake pedal, the system couldapply additional braking up to maximumbraking force, even if you lightly press thebrake pedal.
Automatic Emergency Braking: Automaticemergency braking could activate if thesystem determines that a collision isimminent.
Note:If you perceive the pre-collision assistalerts as being too frequent or disturbing,then you can reduce the alert sensitivity.Setting the low sensitivity would result infewer and later warnings of a potentialforward collision. The manufacturerrecommends using the high sensitivitysetting where possible.
Note:Automatic emergency brakingperformance is not affected by the sensitivitysetting.
Each system has various levels of detectioncapabilities. See Pre-Collision AssistLimitations (page 287).
