BLIND SPOT INFORMATION

SYSTEM

WARNINGS

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.

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.

E124788

The system is designed to detect vehicles

that may have entered the blind spot zone

(A). The detection area is on both sides of

your vehicle, extending rearward from the

exterior mirrors to approximately 13 ft

(4 m) beyond the rear bumper.

Note: The system does not prevent contact

with other vehicles. It is not designed to

detect parked vehicles, pedestrians, animals

or other infrastructures.

the alert indicator flashes.

The sensors are behind the rear bumper

on both sides of your vehicle.

performance.

If the sensors are blocked, a message may

appear in the information display. See
