NOTElThe Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than about 10
km/h (6.2 mph).
lThe detection area of the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) has been determined based on the lane
width of general freeways. Therefore on a road with a narrower lane width, the system may detect
vehicles on a lane next to the adjacent lane and operate the warning light/beep. On a road with
wider lane width, the system may not detect vehicles on the adjacent lane and may not operate the
warning light/beep.
lUnder the following conditions, the system may be unable to detect vehicles, or detection may be
delayed.
lThe vehicle accelerates from a standing-start with a vehicle alongside.lA vehicle moves from a lane two lanes over to the adjacent lane.lThe difference in vehicle speed between your vehicle and another vehicle is larger when
passing or being passed, and the vehicle passes the detection area within a short period of
time.
lOn a steep incline, or when there is a difference in height between lanes.lImmediately after the system has been activated by pressing the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
OFF switch again after it has been turned off (Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator
light in instrument panel illuminates) by pressing the switch.
l(Automatic transaxle vehicles)
The selector lever is shifted to the R position, or directly after being shifted from the R position.
lThe system may not operate normally when towing a trailer. Turn off the system by operating the
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF switch when towing a trailer.
lThe system switches to the Rear Cross Traffic Alert function when the shift lever (Manual
transaxle) or the selector lever (Automatic transaxle) is shifted to the R position.

CAUTION
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely
affect:
ØTire fit
ØWheel and bearing life
ØGround clearance
ØSnow-chain clearance
ØSpeedometer calibration

When replacing a wheel, make sure the
new one is the same as the original factory
wheel in diameter, rim width, and offset
(inset/outset).
Proper tire balancing provides the best
riding comfort and helps reduce tread
wear. Out-of-balance tires can cause
vibration and uneven wear, such as
cupping and flat spots.

all tires. This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire
and also provides a tire identification number for safety standard certification and in case of
a recall.
qInformation on Passenger Vehicle Tires
Please refer to the sample below.
1. TIN: U.S. DOT tire identification number
2. Passenger car tire
3. Nominal width of tire in millimeters
4. Ratio of height to width (aspect ratio)
5. Radial
6. Run-flat tire
7. Rim diameter code
8. Load index & speed symbol
