Failure to use the driver and passenger seat belts pro-vided is a major cause of severe or fatal injury.

www.techauthority.comDEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION UNIFORMTIRE QUALITY GRADESThe following tire grading categories were established bythe National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Thespecific grade rating assigned by the tires manufacturerin each category is shown on the sidewall of the tires onyour vehicle.

All passenger car tires must conform to Federal safetyrequirements in addition to these grades.


TreadwearThe Treadwear grade is a comparative rating, based onthe wear rate of the tire when tested under controlledconditions on a specified government test course. Forexample, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-halftimes as well on the government course as a tire graded100. The relative performance of tires depends upon theactual conditions of their use, however, and may departsignificantly from the norm due to variations in drivinghabits, service practices, and differences in road charac-teristics and climate.

Traction GradesThe Traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B,and C. These grades represent the tires ability to stop onwet pavement, as measured under controlled conditions onspecified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.

WARNING!

The traction grade assigned to this tire is based onstraight-ahead braking traction tests, and does notinclude acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning, orpeak traction characteristics.

2


Temperature GradesThe temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C,representing the tires resistance to the generation of heatand its ability to dissipate heat, when tested undercontrolled conditions on a specified indoor laboratorytest wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause thematerial of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, andexcessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. Thegrade C corresponds to a level of performance, which allpassenger car tires must meet under the Federal MotorVehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A repre-sent higher levels of performance on the laboratory testwheel, than the minimum required by law.

WARNING!

The temperature grade for this tire is established fora tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded.Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive load-ing, either separately or in combination, can causeheat buildup and possible tire failure.

BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) IF EQUIPPEDThe Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located inside the rear bumper fascia, todetect highway licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks,motorcycles, etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from therear/front/side of the vehicle. When the vehicle is started, the BSM warning light will

momentarily illuminate in both outside rear view mirrorsto let the driver know that the system is operational. TheBSM system sensors operate when the vehicle is in anyforward gear or REVERSE and enters stand-by modewhen the vehicle is in PARK.

Rear Detection Zones

4


The BSM detection zone covers approximately one lanewidth on both sides of the vehicle, 10 ft (3 m). The zonelength starts at the outside mirror and extends approxi-mately 20 ft (6 m) beyond the rear bumper of the vehicle.The BSM system monitors the detection zones on bothsides of the vehicle when the vehicle speed reachesapproximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and will alertthe driver of vehicles in these areas.

NOTE:

The BSM system does NOT alert the driver aboutrapidly approaching vehicles that are outside the de-tection zones.

The BSM system detection zone DOES NOT change ifyour vehicle is towing a trailer. Therefore, visuallyverify the adjacent lane is clear for both your vehicleand trailer before making a lane change. If the trailer orother object (i.e., bicycle, sports equipment) extendsbeyond the side of your vehicle, this may result in theBSM warning light remaining illuminated the entiretime the vehicle is in a forward gear. It may benecessary to deactivate BSM system manually byrelated menu to avoid a miss-detection.

The area on the rear fascia where the radar sensors arelocated must remain free of snow, ice, and dirt/roadcontamination so that the BSM system can functionproperly. Do not block the radar sensors located on therear fascia with foreign objects (bumper stickers, bicycleracks, etc.).


The BSM system notifies the driver of objects in thedetection zones by illuminating the BSM warning lightlocated in the outside mirrors in addition to sounding anaudible (chime) alert and reducing the radio volume.Refer to Modes Of Operation for further information.

The BSM system monitors the detection zone from threedifferent entry points (side, rear, front) while driving tosee if an alert is necessary. The BSM system will issue analert during these types of zone entries.

Entering From The Rear

Vehicles that come up from behind your vehicle on eitherside and enter the rear detection zone with a relativespeed of less than 31 mph (50 km/h).

Side MonitoringRear Monitoring


Overtaking Traffic

If you pass another vehicle slowly with a relative speedless than 15 mph (25 km/h) and the vehicle remains inthe blind spot for approximately 1.5 seconds, the warninglight will be illuminated. If the difference in speedbetween the two vehicles is greater than 15 mph(25 km/h), the warning light will not illuminate.

Overtaking/Approaching

4


The BSM system is designed not to issue an alert onstationary objects such as guardrails, posts, walls, foliage,berms, etc. However, occasionally the system may alerton such objects. This is normal operation and yourvehicle does not require service.

Overtaking/Passing

Stationary Objects


The BSM system will not alert you of objects that aretraveling in the opposite direction of the vehicle inadjacent lanes.

WARNING!

The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only an aid tohelp detect objects in the blind spot zones. The BSMsystem is not designed to detect pedestrians, bicy-clists, or animals. Even if your vehicle is equippedwith the BSM system, always check your vehiclesmirrors, glance over your shoulder, and use your turnsignal before changing lanes. Failure to do so canresult in serious injury or death.

Opposing Traffic

4


Rear Cross Path (RCP)The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is intended to aid thedriver when backing out of parking spaces where theirvision of oncoming vehicles may be blocked. Proceedslowly and cautiously out of the parking space until therear end of the vehicle is exposed. The RCP system willthen have a clear view of the cross traffic and if anoncoming vehicle is detected, alert the driver.

RCP monitors the rear detection zones on both sides ofthe vehicle, for objects that are moving toward the side ofthe vehicle with a minimum speed of approximately1 mph (2 km/h), to objects moving a maximum ofapproximately 22 mph (35 km/h), such as in parking lotsituations.

RCP Detection Zones


NOTE: In a parking lot situation, oncoming vehicles canbe obscured by vehicles parked on either side. If thesensors are blocked by other structures or vehicles, thesystem will not be able to alert the driver.

When RCP is on and the vehicle is in REVERSE, thedriver is alerted using both the visual and audiblealarms, including reducing the radio volume.

WARNING!

RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. It is intended to beused to help a driver detect an oncoming vehicle in aparking lot situation. Drivers must be careful whenbacking up, even when using RCP. Always checkcarefully behind your vehicle, look behind you, andbe sure to check for pedestrians, animals, othervehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before back-ing up. Failure to do so can result in serious injury ordeath.

Mode Of OperationThree selectable modes of operation are available in theUconnect System. Refer to Uconnect Settings inMultimedia for further information.

Blind Spot Alert Lights Only

When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the BSMsystem will provide a visual alert in the appropriate sideview mirror based on a detected object. However, whenthe system is operating in Rear Cross Path (RCP) mode,the system will respond with both visual and audiblealerts when a detected object is present. Whenever anaudible alert is requested, the radio is muted.

4


Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime

When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime mode,the BSM system will provide a visual alert in the appro-priate side view mirror based on a detected object. If theturn signal is then activated, and it corresponds to analert present on that side of the vehicle, an audible chimewill also be sounded. Whenever a turn signal and de-tected object are present on the same side at the sametime, both the visual and audible alerts will be issued. Inaddition to the audible alert, the radio (if on) will also bemuted.

NOTE: Whenever an audible alert is requested by theBSM system, the radio is also muted.

When the system is in RCP, the system will respond withboth visual and audible alerts when a detected object ispresent. Whenever an audible alert is requested, the radiois also muted. Turn/hazard signal status is ignored; theRCP state always requests the chime.

Blind Spot Alert Off

When the BSM system is turned off, there will be novisual or audible alerts from either the BSM or RCPsystems.

NOTE: The BSM system will store the current operatingmode when the vehicle is shut off. Each time the vehicle isstarted the previously stored mode will be recalled andused.
