Detection zone
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 extends approxi-
mately 10 ft (3 m) behind the rear bumper,
and approximately 10 ft (3 m) sideways.
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 km/h). If the radar
sensors detect a vehicle in the detection
zone, the the Blind spot warning indicator
light illuminates. If the driver then acti-
vates the turn signal, a chime will sound
twice and the Blind spot warning indicator
light will flash. The Blind Spot Intervention
TMsystem
operates above approximately 37 MPH
(60 km/h). If the system detects a vehicle
in the detection zone and your vehicle is
approaching the lane marker, the Blind
Spot Intervention
TMsystem provides an
audible warning (three times), flashes the
Blind spot warning indicator light and
slightly applies the brakes for a short
period of time on one side to help return
the vehicle back to the traveling lane. The
Blind Spot Intervention
TMsystem provides
an audible warning and turns on or flashes
the Blind spot warning indicator light even
if the BSW system is off.
WARNING
. The BSW and Blind Spot InterventionTM
systems are not a replacement for proper
driving procedure and are not designed
to prevent contact with vehicles or
objects. When changing lanes, always
use the side and rear mirrors and turn
and look in the direction you will move
to ensure it is safe to change lanes.
Never rely solely on the BSW or Blind
Spot Intervention
TMsystem. .
Using the Blind Spot Intervention
TM
system under some road, lane marker
or weather conditions could lead to
improper system operation. Always rely
on your own steering and braking
operation to avoid accidents.
. The BSW and Blind Spot Intervention
TM
systems may not provide a warning or
brake control for vehicles that pass
through the detection zone quickly.

Blind spot warning indicator light
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the
detection zone, the Blind spot warning
indicator light located inside the outside
mirrors illuminates. If the turn signal is
then activated, the Blind spot warning
indicator light flashes and a chime sounds
twice. The indicator light continues to flash
until the detected vehicles leave the
detection zone.
The Blind spot warning indicator lights
illuminate for a few seconds when the
ignition switch is pushed to the ON
position.The brightness of the Blind spot warning
indicator lights is adjusted automatically
depending on the brightness of the ambi-
ent light.
A chime sounds if the radar sensors have
already detected vehicles when the driver
activates the turn signal. If a vehicle comes
into the detection zone after the driver
activates the turn signal, then only the
Blind spot warning indicator light flashes
and no chime sounds. (See
“BSW/Blind
Spot Intervention
TMdriving situations”
later in this section.)

BLIND SPOT INTERVENTIONTMSYS-
TEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the
detection zone, the Blind spot warning
indicator light located inside the outside
mirrors illuminates. If your vehicle is
approaching a lane marker, the Blind spot
warning 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. Blind Spot Interven-
tion
TMoperates regardless of turn signal usage.
NOTE:
.
Warning and brake control will only be
activated if the Blind spot warning
indicator light is already illuminated
when your vehicle approaches a lane
marker. If another vehicle comes into
the detection zone after your vehicle
has crossed a lane marker, no warning
or brake control will be activated. (See
“BSW/Blind Spot Intervention
TMdriv-
ing situations” later in this section.)
. The Blind Spot Intervention
TMsystem is
typically activated earlier than the
Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) sys-
tem when your vehicle is approaching
a lane marker.
The Blind Spot Intervention
TMsystem 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 Blind Spot Intervention
TMON
indicator light (green) on the instrument
panel illuminates when the Blind Spot
Intervention
TMsystem is turned on.

system is off.

and parked vehicles may occasionally be
detected. This is a normal operating
condition.
. The camera may not detect lane markers
in the following situations and the Blind
Spot Intervention
TMsystem may not
operate properly.
—On roads where there are multiple parallel lane markers; lane markers
that are faded or not painted clearly;
yellow painted lane markers; non-
standard lane markers; lane markers
covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
—On roads where discontinued lane
markers are still detectable.
—On roads where there are sharpcurves.
—On roads where there are sharply
contrasting objects, such as sha-
dows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams or lines remaining after road
repairs.
—On roads where the traveling lanemerges or separates.
—When the vehicle’s traveling direc-tion does not align with the lane
markers.
—When traveling close to the vehiclein front of you, which obstructs the
lane camera unit detection range.
—When rain, snow or dirt adheres tothe windshield in front of a lane
camera unit.
—When the headlights are not brightdue to dirt on the lens or if aiming is
not adjusted properly.
—When strong light enters a lane
camera unit. (For example, light
directly shines on the front of the
vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)
—When a sudden change in bright-ness occurs. (For example, when the
vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or
under a bridge.)

DRIVING SITUATIONS
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
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

The BCI system uses radar sensors*1
installed on both sides near the rear
bumper to detect an approaching vehicles
and sonar sensors
*2to detect objects in
the rear.
The radar sensors
*1detect the approach-
ing vehicle from up to approximately 49 ft
(15 m) away. The sonar sensors
*2detect
a rear obstacle at up to approximately 4.9
ft (1.5 m) from the bumper. Refer to the
illustration for approximate zone coverage
areas
*3.
If the radar detects a vehicle approaching
from the side or the sonar detects close
objects in the rear, the system gives visual and audible warnings, and applies the
brake for a moment when the vehicle is
moving backwards. After the automatic
brake application, the driver must depress
the brake pedal to maintain brake pres-
sure. If the driver’s foot is on the accel-
erator pedal, the system pushes the
accelerator upward before applying the
brake. If you continue to press the accel-
erator, the system will not engage the
brake.
WARNING
.
The BCI system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure and is not
designed to prevent contact with vehi-
cles or objects. When backing out of
parking space, always use the inside
and outside rearview mirrors and turn
and look in the direction you will move.
Never rely solely on the BCI system.
. There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar or the sonar.
Using the BCI system under some road,
ground, lane marker, traffic or weather
conditions could lead to improper sys-
tem operation. Always rely on your own operation to avoid accidents.
