Cross Traffic Alert Limitations
with a Trailer Attached
The system remains on when you attach
a trailer to vehicles with blind spot
information system with trailer coverage
under the following conditions:
• You connect a trailer.
• The trailer is a bike rack or cargo rack
with a maximum length of 3 ft (1 m).
• You set the trailer length to 3 ft (1 m)
in the instrument cluster display.
Note: The system may not correctly operate
when towing a trailer. For vehicles with a
trailer tow module and tow bar approved
by the manufacturer, the system turns off
when you attach a trailer. For vehicles with
an aftermarket trailer tow module or tow
bar, we recommend that you switch the
system off when you attach a trailer.
SWITCHING CROSS TRAFFIC
ALERT ON AND OFF
1. From the settings menu, press Driver
Assistance. See Center Display (page
457).
2. Press Cross Traffic Alert.
3. Switch the feature on or off.
When you switch the system on or off, the
alert indicators flash twice.
Note: The system switches on every time
you switch the ignition on.
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 instrument
cluster display when you shift into reverse
(R).
Note: Bike and cargo racks could cause
false alerts due to obstruction of the sensor.
Switch the feature off when using a bike or
cargo rack.
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
touchscreen to show from which side the
vehicle is approaching.
