Driving your vehicle
The BSD (Blind spot detection) sys-
tem uses a radar sensor to alert the
driver while driving.It senses the rear side territory of the
vehicle and provides information to
the driver.
➀
BSD(Blind spot detection)
Warning range is dependent on your
vehicle speed. However, if your vehi-
cle speed is speedy about 10km/h
than other vehicle, the warning is not
operated.
➁ LCA(Lane change assist)
When the vehicle is approaching to
your vehicle at high speed, the warn-
ing is operated.
BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM (BSD) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
Always check the road condi- tions while driving for unex-
pected situations even
though the BSD (Blind spot
detection) system is operat-
ing.
Never use the BSD system as a replacement for careful driv-
ing practices. Drivers should
always use their mirrors and
look over their shoulders to
detect other vehicles when
changing lanes. The BSD sys-
tem is only intended to sup-
plement safe practices.

BSD (Blind spot detection)
system. Do not solely rely on
the system but check for your-
self before changing lanes.
The system may not alert the
driver in some conditions so
always check the surround-
ings while driving.

- The rear bumper near the sensor is covered or hidden with a foreign
matter such as a sticker, bumper
guard, bicycle stand etc.
- The rear bumper is damaged or the sensor is out of place.
- The height of the vehicle is changed or altered such as when
the trunk is loaded with heavy
objects, or has abnormal tire pres-
sure etc.
- Due to bad weather such as heavy rain or snow.
- A fixed object is near such as a guardrail, tunnel, animals etc.
- A lot of amount of metal sub- stances are near the vehicles such
as a construction area. - A big vehicle is near such as a bus
or truck.
- A motorcycle or bicycle is near.
- A flat trailer like vehicle is near.
- If the vehicle has started at the same time as the vehicle next to it
and has accelerated.
- When the other vehicle passes by very fast.
- When changing lanes.
- When going down or up a steep road where the height of the lane is
different.

Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare from other driver's head-
lights.
Keep your headlights clean and properly aimed on vehicles not
equipped with the automatic head-
light aiming feature. Dirty or
improperly aimed headlights will
make it much more difficult to see
at night.
Avoid staring directly at the head- lights of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous, especially if you’re not
prepared for the slick pavement.
Here are a few things to consider
when driving in the rain:
A heavy rainfall will make it harderto see and will increase the dis-
tance needed to stop your vehicle,
so slow down.
Keep your windshield wiping equipment in good shape. Replace
your windshield wiper blades when
they show signs of streaking or
missing areas on the windshield. If your tires are not in good condi-
tion, making a quick stop on wet
pavement can cause a skid and
possibly lead to an accident. Be
sure your tires are in good shape.
Turn on your headlights to make it easier for others to see you.
Driving too fast through large pud- dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.
If you believe you may have gotten your brakes wet, apply them lightly
while driving until normal braking
operation returns.
Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate stopping distance
because brake performance may be
affected.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sev-
eral times while the vehicle is moving
slowly.
