Driving Aids 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 (page 107). When the BLIS is switched off, you will not receive alerts and a telltale illuminates in the information display. The yellow alert indicator in the outside mirror will also flash twice. 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 General Information (page 374). 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. WARNINGS The electric power steering system has diagnostic checks that continuously monitor the system to ensure proper operation of the electronic system. When an electronic error is detected, a message will be displayed in the information display. If this happens, stop the vehicle in a safe place, and turn off the engine. After at least 10 seconds, reset the system by restarting the engine, and watch the information display for a steering message. If a steering message returns, or returns while driving, take the vehicle to your dealer to have it checked. Obtain immediate service if a system error is detected. You may not notice any difference in the feel of your steering, but a serious condition may exist. Failure to do so may result in loss of steering control. Your vehicle has an electric power steering system. There is no fluid reservoir to check or fill. STEERING Electric Power Steering WARNINGS The electric power steering system has diagnostic checks that continuously monitor the system to ensure proper operation.
