Blind Spot Information System

BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM
WITH TRAILER COVERAGE

WHAT IS BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM WITH TRAILER COVERAGE

E225007

Blind spot information system detects
vehicles that may have entered the blind
spot zone. The detection area is on both
sides your vehicle and trailer, extending
rearward from the exterior mirrors to the end
of your trailer.

BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM
WITH TRAILER COVERAGE
LIMITATIONS

Trailer coverage only supports conventional
trailers. The system turns off if you select a
fifth wheel trailer type.

Make sure the trailer width is less than or
equal to 8.5 ft (2.6 m) and the length is less
than 33 ft (10.1 m). If you input values higher,
the system turns off.

Some trailers could cause a slight change in
system performance:
•

Large box trailers could cause false alerts
to occur when driving next to
infrastructures or near parked cars. A
false alert could also occur while making
a 90-degree turn.

•

Trailers that have a width greater than
8.5 ft (2.6 m) at the front and have a total
length greater than 20 ft (6 m) could
cause delayed alerts when a vehicle is
passing at high speeds.

•

Box trailers that have a width greater than
8.5 ft (2.6 m) at the front could cause
early alerts when you pass a vehicle.

•

Clam shell or v-nose box trailers with a
width greater than 8.5 ft (2.6 m) at the
front could cause delayed alerts when a
vehicle traveling the same speed as your
vehicle merges lanes.

Blind Spot Information System

You can set-up a trailer to work with the blind
spot information system through the
touchscreen. When setting up a trailer, a
sequence of screens appear asking for trailer
information.

1. Select type of trailer screen -

conventional, fifth wheel or gooseneck.

Note: The system only supports conventional
trailers.

2. Do you want to set up blind spot with

trailer screen? If no, the system turns off.
If yes, the menu goes to the next screen.

3. Is the width less than 9 ft (2.7 m) and

length less than 33 ft (10.1 m)? If no, the
system turns off. If yes, the menu goes
to the next screen.

4. Trailer width measurement. Measure the

width at the front of the trailer. It is not
measured at the widest point of the
trailer. The maximum width at the front
of the trailer the system can support is
8.5 ft (2.6 m).

Note: You do not need to enter an exact
trailer width measurement. You only need
to confirm that the width of the trailer is less
than 9 ft (2.7 m).

5. Trailer length measurement. The trailer

length is the distance between the trailer
hitch ball and the rear of the trailer. The
maximum length that the system can
support is 33 ft (10.1 m).

6. Enter the length of trailer. The default

setting is 18 ft (5.5 m). Toggling up or
down using the menu buttons increases
or decreases the measurement by 3 ft
(1 m). Select a length that is equal to or
within 3 ft (1 m) of the actual measured
length. For example, if the actual
measure length is 25 ft (7.5 m), toggle
the length in the menu to 27 ft (8.2 m).
The system setup saves when you enter
the length of the trailer.

Note: If the trailer is a bike rack or cargo
rack with electrical lighting, enter a length
of 3 ft (1 m). Cross traffic alert remains on for
trailers with a length of 3 ft (1 m) or less.

Note: The system requires proper
measurement and measure entry to function
properly.

SELECTING A TRAILER

When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,
the trailer set up menu appears in the
touchscreen. This menu allows you to set up
a new trailer or choose from a previously set
up trailer. A warning message appears and
the system turns off if you do not choose or
add a new trailer.

Note: The warning message may not appear
until your vehicle reaches 22 mph (35 km/h).

Blind Spot Information System

WHAT IS CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT

The system alerts you of vehicles
approaching from the sides behind your
vehicle when you shift into reverse (R).

HOW DOES CROSS TRAFFIC
ALERT WORK

Cross traffic alert detects vehicles that
approach at a speed between 4–37 mph
(6–60 km/h). Coverage decreases when the
sensors are partially, mostly or fully
obstructed.

E142440

The sensor on the left-hand side is only
partially obstructed and zone coverage on
the right-hand side is maximized.

E142441

Zone coverage also decreases when parking
at narrow angles. The sensor on the left-hand
side is mostly obstructed and zone coverage
on that side is severely reduced.

Note: Slowly reversing helps increase the
coverage area and effectiveness.

CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Do not use the cross

traffic alert system as a replacement for
using the interior and exterior mirrors or
looking over your shoulder before
reversing out of a parking space. The cross
traffic alert 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.

Cross Traffic Alert

WHAT IS PRE-COLLISION ASSIST

Pre-collision assist detects and warns of
approaching hazards in the roadway. The
system provides multiple levels of assistance
to help avoid a collision if your vehicle is
rapidly approaching another stationary
vehicle, a vehicle traveling in the same
direction as yours, or a pedestrian or cyclist
within your driving path.

HOW DOES PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST WORK

The system warns the driver of potential
hazards by providing three levels of
assistance.

E156130

If your vehicle is rapidly approaching
potential hazards the system provides the
following levels of functionality:

1. Alert.

2. Brake Support.

3. Automatic Emergency Braking.

E329466

Alert: When active, a flashing
visual warning appears and an
audible warning tone sounds.

Brake Support: The system is designed to
help reduce the impact speed by preparing
the brakes for rapid braking. The system
does not automatically apply the brakes. If
you press the brake pedal, the system could
apply additional braking up to maximum
braking force, even if you lightly press the
brake pedal.

Automatic Emergency Braking: Automatic
emergency braking may activate if the
system determines that a collision is
imminent.

Note: If you perceive pre-collision assist
alerts as being too frequent or disturbing,
then you can reduce the alert sensitivity,
although the manufacturer recommends
using the highest sensitivity setting where
possible. Setting lower sensitivity would lead
to fewer and later system warnings.

Each system has various levels of detection
capabilities. See Pre-Collision Assist
Limitations (page 321).

PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: You are responsible for

controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death.

WARNING: The system does not

detect vehicles moving in a different
direction or animals. Apply the brakes
when necessary. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death.

WARNING: The system does not

operate during hard acceleration or
steering. Failure to take care may lead to
a crash or personal injury.

320

Pre-Collision Assist

WARNING: The system may fail or

operate with reduced function during cold
and severe weather conditions. Snow, ice,
rain, spray and fog can adversely affect the
system. Keep the front camera and radar
free of snow and ice. Failure to take care
may result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, serious personal injury or death.

WARNING: Take additional care if

your vehicle is heavily loaded or you are
towing a trailer. These conditions could
result in reduced performance of this
system. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.

WARNING: The system cannot help

prevent all crashes. Do not rely on this
system to replace driver judgment and the
need to maintain a safe distance and
speed.

WARNING: In situations where the

vehicle camera has limited detection
capability, this may reduce system
performance. These situations include but
are not limited to direct or low sunlight,
vehicles at night without tail lights,
unconventional vehicle types, pedestrians
with complex backgrounds, running
pedestrians, partly obscured pedestrians,
or pedestrians that the system cannot
distinguish from a group. Failure to take
care may result in the loss of control of
your vehicle, serious personal injury or
death.

PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
LIMITATIONS

Pre-collision assist depends on the detection
ability of its camera and sensors. Any
obstructions or damage to these areas can
limit detection or prevent the system from
functioning. See Locating the Pre-Collision
Assist Sensors (page 323).

The system is active at speeds above 3 mph
(5 km/h).

Note: The pre-collision assist system
automatically disables when you select
four-wheel drive low or manually disable
AdvanceTrac™.

Note: Brake support and automatic
emergency braking are active at speeds up
to 80 mph (130 km/h). If your vehicle has a
radar sensor included with adaptive cruise
control, then brake support and automatic
emergency braking are active up to the
maximum speed of your vehicle.

Pedestrian Detection Limitations

Pedestrian detection is active at speeds up
to 50 mph (80 km/h).

Pedestrian detection operates optimally
when detected hazards are clearly
identifiable. System performance may reduce
in situations where pedestrians are running,
partly obscured, have a complex
background, or cannot be distinguished from
a group.

321

Pre-Collision Assist

Cyclist Detection Limitations

Cyclist detection is active at speeds up to
50 mph (80 km/h).

Cyclist detection functions optimally when
detected hazards are clearly identifiable.
System performance may reduce in
situations where cyclists are fast-moving,
partly obscured, have a complex
background, or cannot be distinguished from
a group.

Intersection Assist

(If Equipped)

If your vehicle comes with a radar sensor
included in adaptive cruise control, the
pre-collision assist system may operate in a
scenario where you are turning across an
oncoming vehicle's path. Detection of
vehicles driving in an oncoming direction is
active if your vehicle is driving at speeds up
to 19 mph (30 km/h).

Radar sensor (if equipped).

2.

If a message regarding a blocked sensor or
camera appears in the information display,
something is obstructing the radar signals or
camera images. The radar sensor is behind
the fascia cover in the center of the lower
grille. With a blocked sensor or camera, the
system may not function, or performance
may reduce. See Pre-Collision Assist –
Information Messages (page 327).

Note: Proper system operation requires a
clear view of the road by the camera. Have
any windshield damage in the area of the
camera's field of view repaired.

Note: If something hits the front end of your
vehicle or damage occurs and your vehicle
has a radar sensor, the radar sensing zone
could change. This could cause missed or
false vehicle detections. Have your vehicle
serviced to have the radar checked for
proper coverage and operation.

Note: If your vehicle detects excessive heat
at the camera or a potential misalignment
condition, a message could display in the
information display indicating temporary
sensor unavailability. When operational
conditions are correct, the message
deactivates. For example, when the ambient
temperature around the sensor decreases
or the sensor recalibrates successfully.

EVASIVE STEERING ASSIST

WHAT IS EVASIVE STEERING ASSIST

If your vehicle is rapidly approaching a road
user, evasive steering assist helps you steer
around the road user.

After you turn the steering wheel in an
attempt to avoid a crash with the road user,
the system applies additional steering torque
to help you steer around the road user. After
you pass the road user, the system applies
steering torque when you turn the steering
wheel to steer back into the lane. The system
deactivates after you fully pass the road user.

Note: Road users are defined as pedestrians
or bicyclists in your vehicle's path or another
stationary vehicle in the same lane or a
vehicle traveling in the same lane in the
same direction as you. See Pre-Collision
Assist Precautions (page 320).

326
