The Blind Spot Monitor function is operational when ●
The BSM main switch is set to on ●
Vehicle speed is greater than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h). ■
The Blind Spot Monitor function will detect a vehicle when ●
A vehicle in an adjacent lane overtakes your vehicle. ●
Another vehicle enters the detection area when it changes lanes. ■
Conditions under which the Blind Spot Monitor function will not detect a vehicle
The Blind Spot Monitor function is not designed to detect the following types of vehicles
and/or objects: ●
Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.
*●
Vehicles traveling in the opposite direction ●
Guardrails, walls, signs, parked vehi cles and similar stationary objects
*●
Following vehicles that are in the same lane
*●
Vehicles driving 2 lanes across from your vehicle
*
* : Depending on conditions, detection of a vehicle and/or object may occur. ■
Conditions under which the Bl ind Spot Monitor function may not function correctly●
The Blind Spot Monitor function may not dete ct vehicles correctly in the following con-
ditions:
• During bad weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow, etc.
• When ice or mud, etc., is attached to the rear bumper
• When driving on a road surface that is wet due to rain, standing water, etc.
• When there is a significant difference in speed between your vehicle and the vehicle
that enters the detection area
• When a vehicle is in the detection area from a stop and remains in the detection
area as your vehicle accelerates
• When driving up or down consecutive steep inclines, such as hills , a dip in the road,
etc.
• When multiple vehicles approach with only a small gap between each vehicle
• When vehicle lanes are wide, and the vehicle in the next lane is too far away from
your vehicle
• When the vehicle that enters the detection area is traveling at about the same speed
as your vehicle
• When there is a significant difference in height between your vehicle and the vehicle
that enters the detection area
• Directly after the BSM main switch is set to on ●
Instances of the Blind Spot Monitor function unnecessarily detecting a vehicle and/or
object may increase under the following conditions:
• When there is only a short distance between your vehicle and a guardrail, wall, etc.
• When there is only a short distance between your vehicle and a following vehicle
• When vehicle lanes are narrow and a vehicle driving 2 lanes across from your vehi-
cle enters the detection area
• When items such as a bicycle carrier ar e installed on the rear of the vehicle

NX300h_U_OM78007UUtility vehicle precautions ●
Specific design characteristics give it a higher center of gravity than ordinary
passenger cars. This vehicle design feat ure causes this type of vehicle to be
more likely to rollover. Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate
than other types of vehicles. ●
It is not designed for cornering at the same speeds as ordinary passenger cars
any more than low-slung sports cars designed to perform satisfactorily under
off-road conditions. Therefore, shar p turns at excessive speeds may cause
rollover.This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicl e class, which has higher ground clear-
ance and narrower tread in relation to the height of its center of gravity.

Utility vehicle precautions
Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of death or serious
injury or damage to your vehicle: ●
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is si gnificantly more likely to die than a person
wearing a seat belt. Therefore, the driver and all passengers should always fasten
their seat belts. ●
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers, if at all possible.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may re sult in loss of control or vehicle rollover
causing death or serious injury. ●
Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier (i f equipped) will make the center of the
vehicle gravity higher. Avoid high speeds, su dden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking
or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover due
to failure to operate this vehicle correctly. ●
Always slow down in gusty crosswinds. Be cause of its profile and higher center of
gravity, your vehicle is more sensitive to side winds than an ordinary passenger car.
Slowing down will allow you to have better control. ●
Do not drive horizontally across steep slopes . Driving straight up or straight down is
preferred. Your vehicle (or any similar off-road vehicle) can tip over sideways much
more easily than forward or backward.
