Blind Spot Monitoring System
BLIND SPOT MONI TORING (B SM) (if equipped)

you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the BSM warning
lights located on the left and right door mirrors.
•
If you operate a turn signal in the direction of an illuminated BSM warning
light, the system will also warn you with a beep and warning light fash.
•
BSM sensors are located under the left and right rear bumper areas. The
BSM system may not operate properly if the rear bumper gets too dirty,
so keep the rear bumper area clean.
