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.
When you use them properly, the seat, head restraint, seatbelt and airbags will provide optimum protection in the event of a crash.
