False Alerts

Note:

If your vehicle has a factory equipped

tow bar and it is towing a trailer, the sensors

will detect the trailer and turn the Blind Spot

Information and Cross Traffic Alert systems

off to avoid false alerts. For non-factory

equipped tow bars, you may want to turn

the Blind Spot Information System off

manually.

There may be certain instances when there

is a false alert by either the Blind Spot

Information or the Cross Traffic Alert

systems that illuminates the alert indicator

with no vehicle in the coverage zone. 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 Blind Spot

Information System warning indicator will

illuminate and a message will appear in

the information display.

All other system faults will display only

with a message in the information display.

See

Information Messages

(page 104).

Switching the Systems Off and On

You can temporarily switch off one or both

systems in the information display. See

General Information

(page 94). When

you switch off the Blind Spot Information

System, you will not receive alerts and the

information display will display a system

off message.

One or both systems cannot be switched

off when MyKey is used. See

Principle of

Operation

(page 52).

You can also have one or both systems

switched off permanently at an authorized

dealer. Once switched off, the system can

only be switched back on at an authorized

dealer.
