• The BSM system detection zone DOES NOT
change if your vehicle is towing a trailer.
Therefore, visually verify the adjacent lane is
clear for both your vehicle and trailer before
making a lane change. If the trailer or other
object (i.e., bicycle, sports equipment) ex-
tends beyond the side of your vehicle, this
may result in the BSM warning light remain-
ing illuminated or the alert chime remaining
on the entire time the vehicle is in a forward
gear. Refer to "Uconnect Settings" in "Multi-
media" for more information.
• The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system may
experience drop outs (blinking on and off) of
the side mirror Warning Indicator lamps when
a motorcycle or any small object remains at
the side of the vehicle for extended periods of
time (more than a couple of seconds).
The area on the rear fascia where the radar
sensors are located must remain free of snow,
ice, and dirt/road contamination so that the BSM
system can function properly. Do not block the
area of the rear fascia where the radar sensors
are located with foreign objects (bumper stick-
ers, bicycle racks, etc.).
Sensor Location (Left Side Shown)
The BSM system notifies the driver of objects in
the detection zones by illuminating the BSM
warning light located in the outside mirrors. In
addition, when the turn signal is activated during
the alert on the side of the vehicle correspond-
ing to the alert, an audible (chime) alert can be
heard. During the audible (chime) alert, the
radio volume will be reduced. Refer to "Modes
Of Operation" for further information.
BSM Warning Light
The BSM system monitors the detection zone
from three different entry points (Side, Rear,
Front) while driving to see if an alert is neces-
sary. The BSM system will issue an alert during
these types of zone entries.
