BLIND SPOT ASSIST
WHAT IS BLIND SPOT ASSIST
Blind spot assist is an extension of the lanekeeping system.
It may help you identify adjacent vehiclesduring a lane change.
Blind spot assist provides a blind spotwarning and steering assistance to helpduring lane changes.
HOW DOES BLIND SPOT ASSISTWORK
Activate and deactivate the systemusing the lane keeping systembutton on the steering wheel.
During lane changes, the design of the blindspot assist feature detects vehicles in, orapproaching, your blind spot and providesa warning, plus steering assistance to directyour vehicle back into your lane.
When active, this system functions with orwithout the use of direction indicators andhazard flashers.
You must keep your hands on the steeringwheel at all times.
BLIND SPOT ASSIST LIMITATIONS
All system limitations present in the basiclane keeping system also apply to blind spotassist.
Blind spot assist does not function under thefollowing conditions:
•No lane markings are detected.
•One or both rear radar sensors becomeblocked or faulty.
•Attaching bike or cargo racks couldcause false alerts due to obstruction ofthe sensor.

The lane keeping aid warning lamp or redlane marking in your instrument clusterdisplay indicate blind spot assist activation.In addition, the blind spot information systemalert indicator flashes on the exterior mirroron the same side as the detection. See BlindSpot Information System (page 311).
BLIND SPOT ASSIST WITH TRAILER
COVERAGE
WHAT IS BLIND SPOT ASSIST WITHTRAILER COVERAGE
Blind spot assist with trailer coverage is anextension of the lane keeping system.
It may help you identify adjacent vehiclesduring a lane change.
Blind spot assist provides a blind spotwarning and steering assistance to helpduring lane changes.
When attaching a trailer, ensure you haveproperly set up the trailer coverage settings.See Blind Spot Information System WithTrailer Coverage (page 313).
HOW DOES BLIND SPOT ASSIST WITHTRAILER COVERAGE WORK
Activate and deactivate the systemusing the lane keeping systembutton on the steering wheel.
During lane changes, the design of the blindspot assist feature detects vehicles in, orapproaching, your blind spot and providesa warning, plus steering assistance to directyour vehicle back into your lane.
If a supported trailer is connected, thefunction is reduced to only detecting vehicleson both sides of your vehicle and trailer,extending rearward from the exterior mirrorsto the end of your trailer. See Blind SpotInformation System With Trailer Coverage(page 313).
When active, this system functions with orwithout the use of direction indicators andhazard flashers.
You must keep your hands on the steeringwheel at all times.
BLIND SPOT ASSIST WITH TRAILERCOVERAGE LIMITATIONS
All system limitations present in the basiclane keeping system also apply to blind spotassist.
Blind spot assist does not function under thefollowing conditions:
•The system does not detect lanemarkings.
•One or both rear radar sensors becomeblocked or faulty.
•You have not configured the attachedtrailer correctly in the trailer tow menusor you attached an unsupported trailer.The system only supports certain trailershapes and dimensions.
Note:Blind spot assist with trailer coveragecould have reduced performance if any ofthe above limitations are present.
Blind spot assist may have difficulty detectinghazards under the following conditions:

LOCATING THE PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST SENSORS
Camera.1.
Radar sensor (if equipped).2.
If a message regarding a blocked sensor orcamera appears in the information display,something is obstructing the radar signals orcamera images. The radar sensor is behindthe fascia cover in the center of the lowergrille. With a blocked sensor or camera, thesystem may not function, or performancemay reduce. See Pre-Collision Assist –Information Messages (page 328).
Note:Proper system operation requires aclear view of the road by the camera. Haveany windshield damage in the area of thecamera's field of view repaired.
Note:If something hits the front end of yourvehicle or damage occurs and your vehiclehas a radar sensor, the radar sensing zonecould change. This could cause missed orfalse vehicle detections. Have your vehicleserviced to have the radar checked forproper coverage and operation.
Note:If your vehicle detects excessive heatat the camera or a potential misalignmentcondition, a message could display in theinformation display indicating temporarysensor unavailability. When operationalconditions are correct, the messagedeactivates. For example, when the ambienttemperature around the sensor decreasesor the sensor recalibrates successfully.

Your vehicle may have a temporary orconventional spare tire. A temporary sparetire is different in diameter or width,tread-type, or is from a different manufacturerthan the road tires on your vehicle. Consultinformation on the tire label or SafetyCompliance label for limitations when using.
When towing a trailer:
•Obey country specific regulations fortowing a trailer.
•Do not drive faster than 70 mph(113 km/h) during the first 500 mi(800 km).
•Do not make full-throttle starts.
•Check your hitch, electrical connectionsand trailer wheel lug nuts thoroughly afteryou have traveled 50 mi (80 km).
•When stopped in congested or heavytraffic during hot weather, place thetransmission in park (P) to aid engine andtransmission cooling and to help A/Cperformance.
•Turn off the speed control with heavyloads or in hilly terrain. The speed controlmay turn off when you are towing onlong, steep slopes.
•Shift to a lower gear when driving downa long or steep hill. Do not continuouslyapply the brakes, as they may overheatand become less effective.
•If your transmission has Grade Assist orTow/Haul, use this feature when towing.This provides engine braking and helpseliminate excessive transmission shiftingfor optimum fuel economy andtransmission cooling.
•Your vehicle has AdvanceTrac with rollstability control. When towing a trailer,additional loads could cause theAdvanceTrac system to engage duringcornering maneuvers. Reduce corneringspeeds to make sure that you canmaintain control of the vehicle and trailerif the AdvanceTrac system engages.
•Allow more distance for stopping with atrailer attached. Anticipate stops andgradually brake.
•Avoid parking on a slope. However, ifyou must park on a slope, turn thesteering wheel to point your vehicle tiresaway from traffic flow, set the parkingbrake, place the transmission in park (P)and place wheel chocks in front and backof the trailer wheels.
Note:Chocks are not included with yourvehicle.
LAUNCHING OR RETRIEVING A
BOAT OR PERSONAL
WATERCRAFT
When backing down a ramp during boatlaunching or retrieval:
•Do not allow the static water level to riseabove the bottom edge of the rearbumper.
•Do not allow waves to break higher than6 in (15 cm) above the bottom edge ofthe rear bumper.

CALIBRATING THE SYSTEM
Calibrating the system requires drivingforward and turning left or right. Follow theinstructions on the touchscreen to completethe calibration process.
Note:To calibrate the system, you need anarea where you can safely drive forward andturn left or right. An open parking lot is anideal place to perform the calibration.
Note:Keep the steering wheel straight wheninstructed to by the touchscreen. If thesteering wheel is in a turned position duringthis instruction, the calibration pauses.
Note:During calibration, the systemdetermines the trailer length. The systemsupports trailer lengths of 6–33 ft(1.85–10.05 m) distance from the hitch pointto the center of the axle or axles. The systemis designed to work with drawbars that havea license plate to hitch ball centermeasurement of 9–18 in (23–46 cm) wheninstalled. Do not attempt to use drawbars ortrailers that have a length outside of thisrange as the system performance degradesand could cause improper system function.
Note:The touchscreen shows if you aregoing too slow or fast. Calibration pauses ifthe speed is outside the required range of2–9 mph (4–15 km/h).
Note:You need to complete at least a 90°turn, and longer trailers could require a 180°turn. Camera trailer tracking requires thesystem to locate the hitch ball as well asdetermine the trailer length. Some trailerscould require you to drive straight then turnmultiple times before calibration completes.The touchscreen provides instructions andnotifies you when calibration completes.
Note:For best results, do not calibrate thesystem at night when calibrating.
