Detection zone
The camera unit can detect vehicles on either
side of your vehicle when part of another vehicle
is within the detection zone shown as illustrated.
This detection zone typically starts from the out-
side mirror of your vehicle and extends approxi-
mately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear bumper, and
approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) sideways.NOTE:
The Blind Spot indicator lights will illumi-
nate for a few seconds when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position.
The brightness of the Blind Spot indicator lights
is adjusted automatically depending on the
brightness of the ambient light.
A chime sounds if the camera unit has 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 indicator light flashes and no
chime sounds. For additional information, refer to
“BSW driving situations” in this section.Turning on or off the BSW system
The BSW system is turned on or off using the
settings menu in the vehicle information display.
SYSTEM ON
The BSW indicator in the vehicle information
display will appear.

WARNING
● The camera unit may not be able to
detect when certain objects are present
such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
– Some types of small vehicles such as motorcycles, and very short length
vehicles
– Oncoming vehicles – A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind. For additional information,
refer to “BSW driving situations” in
this section.
– A vehicle which your vehicle over- takes rapidly. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “BSW driving situa-
tions” in this section.
– A vehicle that merges or changes lanes rapidly directly next to your
vehicle.
● The camera unit may not be able to
detect property when your vehicle trav-
els beside the middle section of a ve-
hicle with long wheelbase (e.g. trailer
truck, semi-trailer, tractor) .
● The camera detection zone is designed
based on a standard lane width. When
driving in a wider lane, the camera unit
may not detect vehicles in an adjacent
lane. When driving in a narrow lane, the
camera unit may detect vehicles driving
two lanes away. ●
The camera unit is designed to ignore
most stationary objects, however ob-
jects such as guardrails, walls, foliage
and parked vehicles may occasionally
be detected. This is a normal operating
condition.
● The camera unit may detect the re-
flected image of vehicles or roadside
objects that are not actually in the de-
tection zone, especially when the road
is wet.

The Blind Spot 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 to change
lanes.If the driver activates the turn signal, then the
Blind Spot indicator light flashes and a chime will
sound twice.
NOTE:
If the driver activates the turn signal before
a vehicle enters the detection zone, the
Blind Spot indicator light will flash but no
chime will sound when the other vehicle is
detected.Overtaking other vehicles
The Blind Spot indicator light illuminates if you
overtake a vehicle and that vehicle stays in the
detection zone for approximately 3 seconds.
The camera unit may not detect slower moving
vehicles if they are passed quickly.
