The following are other situations that
may limit the BLIS:
•
Certain maneuvering of vehicles
entering and exiting the blind zone.
•
Vehicles passing through the blind
zone at very fast rates.
•
When several vehicles forming a
convoy pass through the blind
zone.
The following are other situations that
may limit the cross traffic alert
system:
•
Adjacently parked vehicles or
objects obstructing the sensors.
•
Approaching vehicles passing at
speeds greater than 15 mph (24
km/h).
•
Driving in reverse faster than 5
mph (8 km/h).
•
Backing out of an angled parking
spot.
False Alerts
Note:
If a trailer is connected to the
vehicle the BLIS system may detect the
trailer causing a false alert. You may
want to turn the BLIS off manually.
There may be certain instances when
either the BLIS or cross traffic alert
systems illuminate the alert indicator
with no vehicle in the coverage zone;
this is known as a false alert. Some
amount of false alerts are normal;
they are temporary and self-correct.
System Errors
If either system senses a problem with
the left or right sensor, the BLIS
telltale will illuminate and a message
will appear in the information display.
All other system faults will only be
displayed by a message in the
information display.
Switching the Systems Off and On
One or both systems can be switched
off temporarily by using the
information display control. See
When the BLIS is switched off, you will
not receive alerts and a telltale
illuminates in the information display.
Note:
The CTA system always
switches on whenever the ignition is
switched on. However, the BLIS system
will remember the last selected on or
off setting.
One or both systems cannot be
switched off when MyKey is used. See
One or both systems can also be
switched off permanently at your
authorized dealer. Once switched off,
switching it back on must also be
done at your authorized dealer.
