Switching Cross Traffic Alert On and Off

To switch cross traffic alert on or off use the instrument cluster display:

1. Using the instrument cluster display controls on the steering wheel, select SETTINGS.
2. Select Driver assistance.
3. Switch Cross traffic alert on or off.

Locating the Cross Traffic Alert Sensors

The sensors are behind the rear bumper on both sides of your vehicle.

Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt.

Note: Do not cover the sensors with bumper stickers, repair compound or other objects.

Note: Blocked sensors may affect system accuracy.

If something is blocking the sensors, a message may appear in the information display when you shift into reverse (R).

Cross Traffic Alert Indicators

When the cross traffic alert detects an approaching vehicle, a tone sounds, a warning lamp illuminates in the relevant exterior mirror and arrows appear in the information display to show which side the vehicle is approaching from.

If the system malfunctions, a warning lamp illuminates in the instrument cluster and a message appears in the information display. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

Note: If arrows do not display, a message appears in the information display.

Note: In some conditions, the system could alert you, even when there is nothing in the detection zone, for example a vehicle passing further away from your vehicle.
