ALERT AND AID MODE

WHAT IS ALERT AND AID MODE

Alert and aid mode uses multiple features
to keep you in your lane. The system first
provides a small steering input to bring
your vehicle back towards the center of
the lane. If your vehicle moves too far out
of the center of the lane the system alerts
you with vibration in the steering wheel.

BLIND SPOT ASSIST

WHAT IS BLIND SPOT ASSIST

Blind spot assist is an extension of the lane
keeping system.

It may help you identify adjacent vehicles
during a lane change.

Blind spot assist provides a blind spot
warning and steering assistance to help
during lane changes.

HOW DOES BLIND SPOT ASSIST
WORK

E334922

Activate and deactivate the
system using the lane keeping
system button on the steering

wheel.

During lane changes, the design of the
blind spot assist feature detects vehicles
in, or approaching, your blind spot and
provides a warning, plus steering
assistance to direct your vehicle back into
your lane.

298

Lane Keeping System

When active, this system functions with or
without the use of direction indicators and
hazard flashers.

You must keep your hands on the steering
wheel at all times.

BLIND SPOT ASSIST LIMITATIONS

All system limitations present in the basic
lane keeping system also apply to blind
spot assist.

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.

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
