continue to pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or
death.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING WITH REAR CROSS PATH

motorcycles etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
• The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system warning light, located in the outside mirrors, will illuminate if a vehicle moves into a blind spot zone.
• The BSM system can also be configured to sound an audible (chime) alert and mute the radio to notify you of objects that have entered the detection zones.
