The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that has two functions:
• The Blind Spot Monitor function (assists the driver in marking the decision when changing lanes)
• The Rear Cross Traffic Alert function (assists the driver when backing up)
The system uses radar sensors to detect vehicles that are traveling in the area
that is not reflected in the outside rearview mirror (the blind spot), and advises
the driver of the vehicles’ existence via the outside rearview mirror indicator.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for more details on this system before attempting
to use it.
