Switching the Systems Off and On

One or both systems can be switched off temporarily by using the
information display control; refer to the Information Display chapter.
When you switch off the Blind Spot Information System, you will not
receive alerts and the information display will display a system off
message. The yellow alert indicator in the outside mirror will also flash
twice. The system switches back on whenever you switch the ignition on.

You can also have one or both systems switched off permanently at an
authorized dealer. Once switched off, the system can only be switched
back on at an authorized dealer.

COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING: This system is designed to be a supplementary
driving aid. It is not intended to replace the driver’s attention,

and judgment, or the need to apply the brakes. This system does NOT
activate the brakes automatically. Failure to press the brake pedal to
activate the brakes may result in a collision.

WARNING: The collision warning system with brake support
cannot help prevent all collisions. Do not rely on this system to

replace driver judgment and the need to maintain distance and speed.

Note: The system does not detect, warn or respond to potential
collisions with vehicles to the rear or sides of the vehicle.

Note: The collision warning system is active at speeds above
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h).

This system is designed to alert the
driver of certain collision risks. A
radar detects if your vehicle is
rapidly approaching another vehicle
traveling in the same direction as
yours.
