Driving Aids

Cross traffic alert illuminates an amber

alert indicator in the outside mirror on the

side of your vehicle the approaching

vehicle is coming from. Cross traffic alert

also sounds an audible alert and a

message appears in the information

display indicating a vehicle is coming from

the right or left. Cross traffic alert works

with the reverse sensing system that

sounds its own series of tones. See

Principle of Operation (page 198).

System Sensors

The system uses radar sensors that are

located behind the bumper fascia on each

side of your vehicle. Do not allow mud,

snow or bumper stickers to obstruct these

areas, as this can cause degraded system

performance.

Cross traffic alert has its own limitations;

situations such as severe weather

conditions or debris build-up on the sensor

area may limit vehicle detection.
