The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) uses radar sensors in the rear
bumper to monitor and warn the driv-
er of an approaching vehicle in the
driver's blind spot area.
The system monitors the rear area of
the vehicle and provides information
to the driver with an audible alert and
an indicator on the outside side view
mirrors.(1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The blind spot detection range
varies relative to vehicle speed.
Note that if your vehicle is travel-
ing much faster than the vehicles
around you, the warning will not
occur.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist)
The Lane Change Assist feature
will alert you when a vehicle is
approaching in an adjacent lane
at a high rate of speed. If the driv-
er activates the turn signal when
the system detects an oncoming
vehicle, the system sounds an
audible alert.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert fea-
ture monitors approaching cross
traffic from the left and right side
of the vehicle when your vehicle is
moving in reverse. The feature will
operate when the vehicle is mov-
ing in reverse below about 6 mph
(10 km/h). If oncoming cross traf-
fic is detected a warning chime
will sound.

Operating conditions
To operate:
Go to the User Settings Mode
(Driving Assist) and select RCTA
(Rear Cross Traffic Alert) on the LCD
display (For more information,
refer to "LCD Display" in chapter
3.). The system will turn on and
standby to activate. The system will
activate when vehicle speed is below
6 mph (10 km/h) with the shift lever in
R (Reverse).
Information
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
detecting range is approximately 1 -
65 ft (0.5 – 20 m). An approaching
vehicle will be detected if their vehicle
speed is within 2.5 - 22.5 mph (4 - 36
km/h).
Note that the detecting range may
vary under certain conditions. As
always, use caution and pay close
attention to your surroundings when
backing your vehicle.
Warning type
If the vehicle detected by the sensors
approaches your vehicle, the warn-
ing chime will sound, the warning
light on the outer side view mirror will
blink and a message will appear on
the LCD display.
Information
• The warning chime will turn off
when the detected vehicle moves out
of the sensing area or if your vehicle
is moved away from the detected
vehicle.
• The system may not operate proper-
ly due to other factors or circum-
stances. Always pay attention to
your surroundings.
• If the sensing area near the rear
bumper is blocked by either a wall
or barrier or by a parked vehicle,
the system sensing area may be
reduced.

The system may not work prop-
erly when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumper
has been replaced or repaired.
The sensing range differs some-
what according to the width of
the road. When the road is nar-
row, the system may detect
other vehicles in the next lane.
The system may turn off due to
strong electromagnetic waves.
Non-operating condition
The BSD indicator on the outer side
view mirror may not illuminate
properly when:
- The outer side view mirror housing
is damaged
- The mirror is covered with dirt,
snow, or debris
- The window is covered with dirt,
snow, or debris
- The window is tinted
NOTICE
Driving your vehicle
The warning light on the outer
side view mirror will illumi-
nate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side by
the system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warning light
and neglect to see the sur-
rounding of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic
Alert (RCTA). Do not solely rely
on the system but check your
surrounding before changing
lanes or backing the vehicle
up.
The system may not alert the
driver in some conditions so
always check your surround-
ings while driving.

not detect every object along-
side the vehicle.

Take the following precautions
when using the Lane Departure
Warning System (LDWS):
ALWAYS check your sur-
roundings and the road condi-
tions before changing lanes.
The LDWS does not control
the vehicle to change lanes or
to stay in the current lane
Do not make abrupt maneu-
vers or turn the steering
wheel suddenly if the LDWS
alerts you that the vehicle is
departing from the lane
If the camera recognition sys-
tem does not properly detect
the lane, the LDWS may not
notify you if the vehicle
departs from the lane
The LDWS does not operate
until the vehicle speed reach-
es approximately 40 mph (64
km/h)
(Continued)
(Continued)
The LDWS camera recogni-
tion system is located in front
of the rear view mirror at the
center of the front windshield.
Do not spray water or any
type of liquid near the camera.
The system may become
damaged.
Do not attempt to repair the
LDWS camera and do not
remove any parts
Do not place objects that
reflect light on the dashboard
while driving
The operation of the LDWS
may be affected by several
factors including environmen-
tal conditions that affect the
ability of the camera to detect
the lanes in front of you. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to pay careful attention to the
roadway and to maintain the
vehicle in its intended lane at
all times.
