THE BSW AND BSI SYSTEMS:
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Blind Spot
Intervention (BSI) systems can help alert the
driver of other vehicles in adjacent lanes when
changing lanes.
The BSW system uses radar sensors
2in-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other ve-
hicles beside your vehicle in an adjacent lane. In
addition to the radar sensors, the BSI system
uses a camera
1installed behind the windshield
to monitor the lane markers of your traveling lane. The radar sensors can detect vehicles on either
side of your vehicle within the detection zone
shown as illustrated. This detection zone starts
from the outside mirror of your vehicle and ex-
tends approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear
bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) side-
ways.
The BSW system operates above approximately
20 MPH (32 km/h). If the radar sensors detects
vehicles in the detection zone, the Blind spot
warning indicator light illuminates. If the driver
then activates the turn signal, the system chimes
a sound (twice) and the Blind spot warning indi-
cator light will flash.The BSI system operates above approximately
37 MPH (60 km/h). If the radar detects a vehicle
in the detection zone and your vehicle is ap-
proaching the lane marker, the system chime a
sound (three times) , the Blind spot warning indi-
cator light and slightly applies the brakes for a
moment on one side to help return the vehicle
back to the traveling lane.

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the detec-
tion zone, the Blind spot warning indicator light
located near the outside mirrors illuminates. If
your vehicle is approaching a lane marker, the
system chimes a sound (three times) and the
Blind spot warning indicator light flashes. Then
the system applies the brakes on one side of the
vehicle for a moment to help return the vehicle
back to the center of the lane. BSI operates
regardless of turn signal usage.NOTE:
Warning and brake control will only be
activated if the Blind spot warning indica-
tor light is already illuminated when your
vehicle approaches a lane marker. If an-
other vehicle comes into the detection
zone after your vehicle has crossed a lane
marker, no warning or brake control will be
activated. For additional information see
“BSW/BSI driving situations” in this sec-
tion. The BSI system is typically activated
earlier than the Lane Departure Prevention
(LDP) system when your vehicle is ap-
proaching a lane marker.
The BSI system turns on when the dynamic driver
assistance switch on the steering wheel is
pushed when the “Blind Spot Intervention” is
enabled in the settings menu on the meter dis-
play. The BSI ON indicator light (green) on the
instrument panel illuminates when the BSI sys-
tem is turned on.
The BSI system provides a chime and turns on or
flashes the Blind spot warning indicator light
even if the BSW system is off.
How to enable/disable the BSI system
Perform the following steps to enable or disable
the BSI system.

The brake engagement by the BCI system
is not as effective on a slope, as it is on flat
ground. When on a steep slope, the sys-
tem may not function properly.
Do not use the BCI systems under the
following conditions because the system
may not function properly.– When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire conditions (e.g.
tire wear, low tire pressure, installa-
tion of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels) .
– When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
Do not use the BCI systems when towing a
trailer.
Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
When the shift selector is placed in R (Reverse)
position, the BCI ON appears in the meter dis-
play. If the radar detects an approaching vehicle from
the side, the system chimes a sound (single
beep) , the Blind spot warning indicator light on
the side the approaching vehicle flashes and a
yellow rectangular frame appears in the display.
NOTE:
● In the case of several vehicles approaching
in a row or in the opposite direction, a chime
may not be issued to the BCI system after
the first vehicle passes the sensors.
● When the sonar system sounds a tone, the
BCI system does not chime this sound
(single beep) .

The Blind spot warning indicator light illuminates
if a vehicle enters the detection zone from behind
in an adjacent lane.
However, if the overtaking vehicle is traveling
much faster than your vehicle, the indicator light
may not illuminate before the detected vehicle is
beside your vehicle. Always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the direction your
vehicle will move to ensure it is safe to change
lanes.If the driver activates the turn signal, then the
system chimes a sound (twice) and the Blind
spot warning indicator light flashes.
NOTE:
If the driver activates the turn signal before
a vehicle enters the detection zone, the
Blind spot warning indicator light will flash
but no chime will sound when the other
vehicle is detected.
If the BSI system is on and your vehicle is ap-
proaching a lane marker, the system chimes a
sound (three times) , and the Blind spot warning
indicator light flashes. Then the BSI system
slightly applies the brakes on one side to help
return the vehicle back to the center of the driving
lane.

If the BSI system is on and your vehicle ap-
proaches a lane marker while another vehicle is in
the detection zone, the system chimes a sound
(three times) and the Blind spot warning indicator
light flashes. Then, the BSI system slightly ap-
plies the brakes on one side to help return the
vehicle back to the center of the driving lane.NOTE:
When overtaking several vehicles in a row,
the vehicles after the first vehicle may not
be detected if they are traveling close to-
gether.

The Blind spot warning indicator light illuminates
if a vehicle enters the detection zone from either
side.
NOTE:
The radar sensors may not detect a vehicle
which is traveling at about the same speed
as your vehicle when it enters the detection
zone.If the driver activates the turn signal, then the
Blind spot warning indicator light flashes and a
chime will sound twice.
NOTE:
If the driver activates the turn signal before
a vehicle enters the detection zone, the
Blind spot warning indicator light will flash
but no chime will sound when another ve-
hicle is detected.
If the BSI system is on and your vehicle ap-

CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS
The cruise control allows driving at a speed be-
tween 25 - 89 MPH (40 - 144 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.
To turn on the cruise control,push the
ON·OFF switch on. The CRUISE indicator light in
the vehicle information display will illuminate.
To set cruising speed, accelerate the vehicle to
the desired speed, push the COAST/SET switch
and release it. The SET indicator light in the
vehicle information display will illuminate. Take
your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your vehicle
maintains the set speed.
● To pass another vehicle, depress the ac-
celerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle returns to the previously
set speed.
● The vehicle may not maintain the set speed
when going up or down steep hills. If this
happens, drive without the cruise control.
To cancel the preset speed, use one of the
following three methods.
● Push the CANCEL button; the SET indicator
light in the vehicle information display goes
out.
● Tap the brake pedal; the SET indicator light
goes out. ●
Push the ON·OFF switch off. Both the
CRUISE indicator light and SET indicator
light in the vehicle information display go out.
The cruise control is automatically canceled and
the SET light in the vehicle information display
goes out if: ● you depress the brake pedal while pushing
the ACCEL/RES or SET/COAST switch.
The preset speed is deleted from memory.
● the vehicle slows down more than 8 MPH
(13 km/h) below the set speed.
● you move the shift selector to N (Neutral) .
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one
of the following three methods.
● Depress the accelerator pedal. When the
vehicle attains the desired speed, push and
release the COAST/SET switch.
● Push and hold the ACCEL/RES switch.
When the vehicle attains the speed you de-
sire, release the switch.
● Push and release the ACCEL/RES switch.
Each time you do this, the set speed in-
creases by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h). To reset at a slower cruising speed,
use one
of the following three methods.
● Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve-
hicle attains the desired speed, push the
COAST/SET switch and release it.
● Push and hold the COAST/SET switch. Re-
lease the switch when the vehicle slows to
the desired speed.
● Push and release the COAST/SET switch.
Each time you do this, the set speed de-
creases by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).
To resume the preset speed, push and re-
lease the ACCEL/RES switch. The vehicle re-
turns to the last set cruising speed when the
vehicle speed is over 25 MPH (40 km/h).
