Blind Spot Information System
What Is Blind Spot Information System
Blind spot information system detects vehicles that may have entered the blind spot zone.
How Does Blind Spot Information System Work
Blind spot information system uses sensors on both sides of your vehicle, detecting rearward from the exterior mirrors to approximately 13 ft (4 m) beyond the rear bumper. The detection area extends to approximately 59 ft (18 m) beyond the rear bumper when the vehicle speed is greater than 30 mph (48 km/h) to alert you of faster approaching vehicles.
Blind Spot Information System Precautions
 WARNING: Do not use the blind spot information system as a replacement for using the interior and exterior mirrors or looking over your shoulder before changing lanes. The blind spot information system is not a replacement for careful driving. WARNING: The system may not operate properly during severe weather conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy rain and spray. Always drive with due care and attention. Failure to take care may result in a crash. |
Note: Blind spot information system does not prevent contact with other vehicles. It does not detect parked vehicles, pedestrians, animals or other infrastructure.
Blind Spot Information System Limitations
Blind spot information system does not operate in park (P) or reverse (R).
The system may not alert you if a vehicle quickly passes through the detection zone.
Note: The system may not correctly operate when towing a trailer. For vehicles with a trailer tow module and tow bar approved by us, the system turns off when you attach a trailer. For vehicles with an aftermarket trailer tow module or tow bar, we recommend that you switch the system off when you attach a trailer.
Blind Spot Information System Requirements
Blind spot information system turns on when all the following occur:
- You start your vehicle.
- You shift into drive (D).
- The vehicle speed is greater than 6 mph (10 km/h).
Switching Blind Spot Information System On and Off
- Using the instrument cluster display controls on the steering wheel, select Driver Assist.

When you switch blind spot information system off, a warning lamp illuminates and a message displays. When you switch the system on or off, the alert indicators flash twice.
Note: The system remembers the last setting when you start your vehicle.
To permanently switch the system off, contact an authorized dealer.
Blind Spot Information System Indicators
 When blind spot information system detects a vehicle, an alert indicator illuminates in the exterior mirror on the side from which the vehicle is approaching. If you turn the turn signal on for that side of your vehicle, the alert indicator flashes. |
