BLIND SPOT ASSIST LIMITATIONS
The Blind Spot Assist (BSA) system does not operate when:
- The vehicle is not in a forward gear.
- The vehicle’s speed is approximately below 40 mph (64 km/h) or above 112 mph (180 km/h).
- Driving in single lanes narrower than approximately 10 ft (3 m) or wider than approximately 13 ft (4 m).
- Turning in tight road bends.
- The windshield area in front of the rear-view mirror becomes blocked. For example, stickers, mud, snow, or debris.
- The sensors in the rear bumper become blocked.
- The blind spot monitor system is not operating.
- A fault occurs in the system.
The BSA system does not intervene if:
- Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is operating.
- Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is operating.
- The brake pedal is pressed.
- The driver has applied a counter steering input that is greater than the steering input from the blind spot assist system.
The BSA system:
- Performance maybe significantly degraded if adverse weather conditions exist. For example, heavy fog, rain, or snow.
- Works in conjunction with the blind spot monitor and closing vehicle sensing systems.
- May register false targets if traveling along a confined space.
- Does not work accurately if the sensors are misaligned due to bumper modifications or impact damage.
The instrument panel displays messages to inform the driver of any system issues.
