DRIVING
DRIVING
Blind Spot Information (BSI) System*
Alerts you to a detected vehicle in your left or right blind spot.
When a vehicle is detected in your blind spot, the
blind spot indicator turns on and stays lit until the
area is clear.
When your turn signal is on and a vehicle is
detected, the blind spot indicator blinks and a
beep sounds until the area is clear or the turn
signal is off.
Changing Settings
Change the alert type, or turn the system on or off. Use the interface dial to make
and enter selections.
1. Press SETTINGS.
2. Select Vehicle Settings.
3. Select Blind Spot Info.
4. Select an alert type, or Off.
5. Press BACK to exit the menu.
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, BSI has limitations. Over-reliance on BSI may result in a
collision. The system is for your convenience only.
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to change lanes before doing so may
result in a crash and serious injury or death. Do not rely only on the blind
spot information system when changing lanes.
Always look in your mirrors, to either side of your vehicle, and behind you for
other vehicles before changing lanes.
WARNING
*if equipped
Indicator
Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)*
Can alert you when a potential frontal collision is determined and reduce your
vehicle speed when a collision is deemed unavoidable to help minimize collision
severity.
The system provides visual and audible alerts
if you do not take appropriate action to avoid
a collision.
Alert Stages
The system has three alert stages for a possible collision. Depending on the
circumstances or CMBS settings, CMBS may not go through all of the stages
before initiating the last stage.
Stage 1: Head-up warning and audible beep
Stage 2: Head-up warning, audible beep, light seat belt retraction, and
light brake application
Stage 3: Head-up warning, audible beep, strong seat belt retraction, and
strong brake application
Turning CMBS On or Off
Press and hold CMBS OFF. A beep sounds and a
message appears in the MID. The CMBS indicator
appears when the system is off.
Changing Settings
See page 98 for how to change CMBS settings. Options include Long, Normal
(default), and Short. Use the CMBS OFF button to turn the system off.
Important Safety Reminder
CMBS is designed to reduce the severity of an unavoidable collision. It does not
prevent collisions nor stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your responsibility to
operate the brake pedal and steering wheel appropriately according to the driving
conditions.
