Dynamic driver assistance switch
BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the
detection zone, the BSW/BSI indicator
light located inside the outside mirrors
illuminates. If your vehicle is approaching
a lane marker, the BSW/BSI indicator light
flashes and an audible warning will sound
three times. Then the system applies the
brakes on one side of the vehicle for a
short period of time 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 BSW/BSI indicator light
is already illuminated when your vehi-
cle approaches a lane marker. If
another vehicle comes into the detec-
tion zone after your vehicle has
crossed a lane marker, no warning or
brake control will be activated. (See
“BSW/BSI driving situations” later in
this section.)
. The BSI system is typically activated
earlier than the Lane Departure Pre-
vention (LDP) system when your vehi-
cle is approaching 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 center display. The BSI ON
indicator light (green) on the instrument
panel illuminates when the BSI system is
turned on.
The BSI system provides an audible warn-
ing and flashes the indicator light when
BSI is activated even if the BSW system is
off.
