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.
