DRIVING
Blind Spot Information System
Alerts you to a detected vehicle in your left or right blind spot while driving
between 20 mph (32 km/h) and 100 mph (160 km/h). When the system
detects vehicles approaching from behind in adjacent lanes, the appropriate
indicator comes on for a few seconds, providing assistance when you change
lanes.
Blind Spot Information System Alert Indicator comes on when:
• A vehicle enters the alert zone from behind to overtake you with a speed
difference of no more than 31 mph (50 km/h) from your vehicle.
• You pass a vehicle with a speed difference of no more than 12 mph (20
km/h).
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.

Important Safety Reminder
n
Like all assistance systems, the Blind Spot Information System has
limitations. Over-reliance on the system may result in a collision. The
system is for your convenience only.
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.
