Driving Aids When you remove a blockage, you can reset the system two ways: • While driving, the system detects at least two objects. • You cycle the ignition from on to off and then back on. If the blockage is still present after the key cycle and driving in traffic, check again for a blockage. The following are other situations that may limit the Blind Spot Information System: • 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 3 mph (5 km/h). • Backing out of an angled parking spot.
