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.

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

Cross Traffic Alert

WHAT IS PRE-COLLISION
ASSIST

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

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:

Alert.

2. Brake Support.

3. Automatic Emergency Braking.

E255268

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,
though 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 level of detection
capabilities. See

Pre-Collision Assist

Limitations

(page 236).

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.

235

Pre-Collision Assist

WARNING:

The system does not

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

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 237).

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

Note:

The pre-collision assist system

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 the 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 the vehicle.

Pedestrian Detection Limitations

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

Pedestrian detection functions 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.

COLLISION ASSIST SENSORS

E273245

Camera.

Radar sensor (if equipped).

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 240).

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

(IF

EQUIPPED)

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 obstacles

encountered on the road that the system is
able to detect. See

Pre-Collision Assist

Precautions

(page 235).

EVASIVE STEERING ASSIST
LIMITATIONS

Evasive steering assist only activates when
all the following occur:
•

Automatic emergency braking and
evasive steering assist are on.

•

The system detects a road user ahead
and starts to apply the brakes.

•

You significantly turn the steering
wheel to steer around a road user.

Note:

Evasive steering assist does not

automatically steer around a road user. If
you do not turn the steering wheel, evasive
steering assist does not activate.

Note:

Evasive steering assist does not

activate if the distance to the road user
ahead is too small and the system cannot
avoid a crash.

Note:

Evasive steering does not activate

with cyclists or pedestrians.
