NOTE: Do not rely completely on the BSM system and be sure to look over
your shoulder before changing lanes:
• The BSM system can assist the driver in confirming the safety of the surroundings,
but is not a complete substitute.
• The driver is responsible for assuring lane changes and other maneuvers.
• Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling and the
vehicle’s surroundings.
• The BSM system does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than about
20 mph (32 km/h).

The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver
by monitoring the blind spots to the rear of the vehicle on both sides.
• If your vehicle speed is 20 mph (32 km/h) or more, the BSM will warn
you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the BSM warning
lights located on the left and right door mirrors.
•
If you operate a turn signal in the direction of an illuminated BSM
warning light, the system will also warn you with a beep and warning
light flash.
•
BSM sensors are located under the left and right rear bumper areas.
The BSM system may not operate properly if the rear bumper gets too
dirty, so keep the rear bumper area clean.
Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
