1 This indicator light illuminates to remind you that the front passenger’s front/side airbags and seat belt
pretensioner will not deploy during a collision. The reason for this is that the weight in the seat is less
than approximately 66 lbs. Always wear your seat belt and secure children in the rear seats in
appropriate child restraints. See the Owner’s Manual for important information on this safety feature.

pressure and fill the tires as soon as possible, preferably before moving the vehicle
and warming up the tires. Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold.

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 ensuring safe 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).
Turning BSM System Off
To manually turn the BSM system off, push the BSM OFF switch on the dash.
The BSM OFF indicator will illuminate in the instrument cluster when the BSM
system is off. The BSM system will automatically turn on the next time the
vehicle is started.

BLIN d S POT MONITORIN g (BSM) SYSTEM
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.
