BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM WITH TRAILER
COVERAGE LIMITATIONS
Trailer coverage only supports
conventional trailers. The system turns off
if you select a fifth wheel trailer type.
Make sure the trailer width is less than or
equal to 8.5 ft (2.6 m) and the length is
less than 33 ft (10.1 m). If you input values
higher, the system turns off.
Some trailers could cause a slight change
in system performance:
•
Large box trailers could cause false
alerts to occur when driving next to
infrastructures or near parked cars. A
false alert could also occur while
making a 90-degree turn.
• Trailers that have a width greater than
8.5 ft (2.6 m) at the front and have a
total length greater than 20 ft (6 m)
could cause delayed alerts when a
vehicle is passing at high speeds.
• Box trailers that have a width greater
than 8.5 ft (2.6 m) at the front could
cause early alerts when you pass a
vehicle.
• Clam shell or v-nose box trailers with
a width greater than 8.5 ft (2.6 m) at
the front could cause delayed alerts
when a vehicle traveling the same
speed as your vehicle merges lanes.

You can set-up a trailer to work with the
blind spot information system through the
touchscreen. When setting up a trailer, a
sequence of screens appear asking for
trailer information.
1. Select type of trailer screen -
conventional, fifth wheel or gooseneck.
Note: The system only supports
conventional trailers.
2. Do you want to set up blind spot with
trailer screen? If no, the system turns
off. If yes, the menu goes to the next
screen.
3. Is the width less than 9 ft (2.7 m) and
length less than 33 ft (10.1 m)? If no,
the system turns off. If yes, the menu
goes to the next screen.
4. Trailer width measurement. Measure
the width at the front of the trailer. It is
not measured at the widest point of
the trailer. The maximum width at the
front of the trailer the system can
support is 8.5 ft (2.6 m).
Note: You do not need to enter an exact
trailer width measurement. You only need
to confirm that the width of the trailer is less
than 9 ft (2.7 m).
