BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM
WITH TRAILER COVERAGE
WHAT IS BLIND SPOT INFORMATIONSYSTEM WITH TRAILER COVERAGE
Blind spot information system detectsvehicles that may have entered the blindspot zone. The detection area is on bothsides your vehicle and trailer, extendingrearward from the exterior mirrors to the endof your trailer.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEMWITH TRAILER COVERAGELIMITATIONS
Trailer coverage only supports conventionaltrailers. The system turns off if you select afifth wheel trailer type.
Make sure the trailer width is less than orequal to 8.5 ft (2.6 m) and the length is lessthan 33 ft (10.1 m). If you input values higher,the system turns off.
Some trailers could cause a slight change insystem performance:
•Large box trailers could cause false alertsto occur when driving next toinfrastructures or near parked cars. Afalse alert could also occur while makinga 90-degree turn.
•Trailers that have a width greater than8.5 ft (2.6 m) at the front and have a totallength greater than 20 ft (6 m) couldcause delayed alerts when a vehicle ispassing at high speeds.
•Box trailers that have a width greater than8.5 ft (2.6 m) at the front could causeearly alerts when you pass a vehicle.
•Clam shell or v-nose box trailers with awidth greater than 8.5 ft (2.6 m) at thefront could cause delayed alerts when avehicle traveling the same speed as yourvehicle merges lanes.

Trailer width.B
Trailer hitch ball.C
You can set-up a trailer to work with the blindspot information system through thetouchscreen. When setting up a trailer, asequence of screens appear asking for trailerinformation.
1.Select type of trailer screen -conventional, fifth wheel or gooseneck.
Note:The system only supports conventionaltrailers.
2.Do you want to set up blind spot withtrailer screen? If no, the system turns off.If yes, the menu goes to the next screen.
3.Is the width less than 9 ft (2.7 m) andlength less than 33 ft (10.1 m)? If no, thesystem turns off. If yes, the menu goesto the next screen.
4.Trailer width measurement. Measure thewidth at the front of the trailer. It is notmeasured at the widest point of thetrailer. The maximum width at the frontof the trailer the system can support is8.5 ft (2.6 m).
Note:You do not need to enter an exacttrailer width measurement. You only needto confirm that the width of the trailer is lessthan 9 ft (2.7 m).
5.Trailer length measurement. The trailerlength is the distance between the trailerhitch ball and the rear of the trailer. Themaximum length that the system cansupport is 33 ft (10.1 m).
6.Enter the length of trailer. The defaultsetting is 18 ft (5.5 m). Toggling up ordown using the menu buttons increasesor decreases the measurement by 1 ft(0.3 m). Select a length that is equal to orwithin 1 ft (0.3 m) of the actual measuredlength. For example, if the actualmeasure length is 23 ft (7 m), toggle thelength in the menu to 24 ft (7.2 m). Thesystem setup saves when you enter thelength of the trailer.
Note:If the trailer is a bike rack or cargorack with electrical lighting, enter a lengthof around 3 ft (1 m). Cross traffic alert remainson for trailers with a length of 3 ft (1 m) orless.
Note:The system requires propermeasurement and measure entry to functionproperly.

LOAD CARRYING PRECAUTIONS
Keep your loaded vehicle weight withinits design rating capability, with orwithout a trailer. Properly loading yourvehicle provides maximum return ofvehicle design performance. Before youload your vehicle, become familiar withthe following terms for determining yourvehicle’s weight rating, with or withouta trailer, from the vehicle’s Tire andLoading Information label or SafetyCompliance Certification label.
WARNING: The appropriateloading capacity of your vehicle canbe limited either by volume capacity(how much space is available) or by
payload capacity (how much weightthe vehicle should carry). Once youhave reached the maximum payloadof your vehicle, do not add morecargo, even if there is space available.Overloading or improperly loadingyour vehicle can contribute to loss ofvehicle control and vehicle rollover.
WARNING: Exceeding the SafetyCompliance Certification label vehicleweight limits can adversely affect theperformance and handling of yourvehicle, cause vehicle damage andcan result in the loss of control of yourvehicle, serious personal injury ordeath.
WARNING: Do not usereplacement tires with lower loadcarrying capacities than the originaltires because they may lower yourvehicle's GVWR and GAWR limitations.Replacement tires with a higher limitthan the original tires do not increasethe GVWR and GAWR limitations.
WARNING: Do not exceed theGVWR or the GAWR specified on thecertification label.
WARNING: Exceeding anyvehicle weight rating can adverselyaffect the performance and handlingof your vehicle, cause vehicle damageand can result in the loss of control ofyour vehicle, serious personal injuryor death.
WARNING: When loading theroof racks, we recommend you evenlydistribute the load, as well as maintaina low center of gravity. Loadedvehicles, with higher centers of gravity,may handle differently than unloadedvehicles. Take extra precautions, suchas slower speeds and increasedstopping distance, when driving aheavily loaded vehicle.
The gross combined weight must neverexceed the Gross Combined WeightRating.
