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.
Cross traffic alert warns you of vehicles
approaching from the sides when the
transmission is in reverse (R).
Note: The Blind Spot Information System
does not prevent contact with other vehicles
or objects; nor does it detect parked
vehicles, people, animals or infrastructure
(fences, guardrails or trees). It only alerts
you to vehicles in the blind zones.
Note: When a vehicle passes quickly
through the blind zone, the system may not
trigger.

Driving Aids
Using the Systems
The Blind Spot Information System turns
on when you start the engine and you drive
your vehicle forward above 8 km/h, it
remains on while the transmission is in
drive (D) or neutral (N). If shifted into
reverse (R), the system enters cross traffic
alert mode. Once shifted back into drive
(D), the Blind Spot Information System
turns back on when you drive your vehicle
above 8 km/h.
Note: The Blind Spot Information System
does not function in reverse (R) or park (P).
Note: Cross traffic alert detects
approaching vehicles and bicycles from up
to 40 m away though coverage decreases
when the sensors are blocked. Reversing
slowly helps increase the coverage area and
effectiveness.
Note: The cross traffic alert will be active
only if the transmission is in reverse (R). If
your vehicle is rolling backward and the
transmission is not in reverse (R) then cross
traffic alert will not be active.
