DRIVING

Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)

Alerts and helps to assist you if the system determines a possibility of your vehicle
unintentionally crossing over detected lane markings while driving between 45–90
mph (72–145 km/h).
If your vehicle is getting too close to detected lane
markings without a turn signal activated, a message
appears in the MID. Steering wheel torque and
vibrations are applied to help your vehicle stay in
the lane.
Braking may also be applied if the lane lines are
solid and continuous.
If the system operates several times without
detecting driver response, the system beeps to alert
you.
Turning the System On or Off
Press the RDM button to turn the system on or off.
A green indicator appears on the button when the
system is on.

make selections.

Blind Spot Information (BSI)

Alerts you to a detected vehicle in your left or right blind spot while driving
between 20 mph and and 100 mph (32–160 km/h).
When a vehicle is detected in your blind spot, the
blind spot indicator turns on and stays lit until the
area is clear. The detection area extends about
10 ft. (3m) from the sides of the vehicle, and from
the midpoint of the vehicle to about 10 ft. (3m)
beyond the rear bumper.
When your turn signal is on and a vehicle is
detected, the blind spot indicator blinks and a
beep sounds until the area is clear or the turn
signal is off.
Changing Settings
Change the alert type, or turn the system on or off. Use the interface dial to make
and enter selections.
1. Press SETTINGS.
2. Select Vehicle Settings.
3. Select Blind Spot Info.
4. Select an alert type, or Off.
5. Press BACK to exit the menu.
WARNING
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to change lanes before doing so may
result in a crash and serious injury or death. Do not rely only on the blind
spot information system when changing lanes.
Always look in your mirrors, to either side of your vehicle, and behind you for
other vehicles before changing lanes.
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, BSI has limitations. Over-reliance on BSI may result in a
collision. The system is for your convenience only.
