BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)
: If equipped
The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that assists the driver to confirm
safety when changing lanes.
The system uses radar sensors to detect vehicles that are traveling
in an adjacent lane in the area that is not reflected in the outside rear
view mirror (the blind spot), an d advises the driver of the vehicles
existence via the outside rear view mirror indicator.

Pressing the switch turns the system on or off. When the switch is set
to on, the switch’s indicator illuminates.
Outside rear view mirror indicator
When a vehicle is detected in the blind spot, the outside rear view mir-
ror indicator on that side illuminates. If the turn signal lever is operated
when a vehicle is in the blind spot, the outside rear view mirror indicator
