BSI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the BSI system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
●The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSI when certain
objects are present such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, or animals.
– Vehicles such as motorcycles, low
height vehicles, or high ground clear-
ance vehicles.
– Oncoming vehicles.– Vehicles remaining in the detection
zone when you accelerate from a
stop. For additional information, re-
fer to “BSI driving situations” in this
section.
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle. For additional
information, refer to “BSI driving
situations” in this section.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind. For additional information,
refer to “BSI driving situations” in
this section.
– A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “BSI driving situations”
in this section.
– A vehicle that passes through the de-
tection zone quickly.
●The radar sensors detection zone is de-
signed based on a standard lane width.
When driving in a wider lane, the radar
sensors may not detect vehicles in an
adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow
lane, the radar sensors may detect ve-
hicles driving two lanes away.

NOTE:
●Illustration 12: The BSI system will not oper-
ate if your vehicle is on a lane marker when
another vehicle enters the detection zone. In
this case, only the BSW system operates.
●BSI braking will not operate or will stop
operating and only a warning chime will
sound under the following conditions:
– When the brake pedal is depressed.
– When the vehicle is accelerated during
BSI system operation.
– When steering quickly.– When the ICC, DCA, FCW or FEB warn-
ings sound.
– When the hazard warning flashers are
operated.
– When driving on a curve at a high speed.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When any of the following messages appear on
the vehicle information display, a chime will sound
and the BSI system will be turned off automati-
cally.
●“Unavailable Road is slippery”:
When the VDC system (except traction con-
trol system function) or ABS operates.
●“Unavailable VDC OFF”:
When the VDC system is turned off.
●“Unavailable Snow mode active”:
When the drive mode select switch is turned
to the SNOW mode.
●“Unavailable High Cabin Temp.”:
When the camera detects that the interior
temperature is high (over approximately
104°F (40°C)) .
●“Unavailable Side Radar Obstruction”:
When side radar blockage is detected.Turn off the BSI system and turn it on again when
the above conditions no longer exist.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
When the BSI system malfunctions, it will be
turned off automatically, a chime will sound and
the BSI system warning light (orange) will illumi-
nate.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the engine off
and restart the engine. If the warning light (or-
ange) continues to illuminate, have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit an

BCI SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shift lever is placed in R (Reverse)
position, the BCI ON appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
If the radar detects an approaching vehicle from
the side, the system chimes a sound (single
beep) , the Blind Spot Warning indicator light on
the side of the approaching vehicle flashes and a
yellow rectangular frame appears in display
A.NOTE:
●In the case of several vehicles approaching
in a row (Illustration 1) or in the opposite
direction (Illustration 2) , a chime may not be
sounded by the BCI system after the first
vehicle passes the sensors.

●The sonar system chime indicating there is
an object behind the vehicle has a higher
priority than the BCI chime (single beep)
indicating an approaching vehicle. If the so-
nar system detects an object behind the
vehicle and the BCI system detects an ap-
proaching vehicle at the same time the fol-
lowing indicators are provided:
– The sonar system chime sounds
– The Blind Spot Warning indicator light on
the side of the approaching vehicle
flashes and– A yellow rectangular frame appears in
display
If an approaching vehicle or object behind the
vehicle is detected when your vehicle is backing
up, a red frame will appear in the display
Aand
the system will chime three times. Then, the
brakes will be applied momentarily. After the au-
tomatic brake application, the driver must de-
press the brake pedal to maintain brake pressure.
If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator pedal, the
system moves the accelerator pedal upward be-
fore the braking is applied. However, if you con-
tinue to accelerate, the system will not engage
the brakes.
The system does not operate if the object is very
close to the bumper.

– Illustration e: When the angle formed
by your vehicle and approaching ve-
hicle is small.
●The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice build up on the vehicle
– Frost build up on the vehicle
– Dirt up on the vehicle
●Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material) , install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
●The sonar sensors detect stationary ob-
jects behind the vehicle. The sonar sen-
sor may not detect:
– Small or moving objects
– Wedge-shaped objects
– Object close to the bumper (less than
approximately 1 ft (30 cm))– Thin objects such as rope, wire and
chain, etc.
●The brake engagement by the BCI sys-
tem is not as effective on a slope as it is
on flat ground. When on a steep slope
the system may not function properly.
●Do not use the BCI system under the
following conditions because the sys-
tem may not function properly:
– When driving with a tire that is not
within normal tire conditions (e.g.
tire wear, low tire pressure, installa-
tion of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels) .
– When the vehicle is equipped with
non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
●Do not use the BCI systems when tow-
ing a trailer.
●Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may
not be heard.SYSTEM TEMPORARILY NOT
AVAILABLE
If the following messages appear on the vehicle
information display, a chime will sound and the
BCI system will be turned off automatically.
●“Unavailable High Accelerator Temp.”:
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over ap-
proximately 104°F (40°C)) and then started,
the BCI system may be deactivated auto-
matically and the “Unavailable High Accel-
erator Temp” message will appear in the
vehicle information display for a period of
time.
When the interior temperature is reduced,
turn off the BCI system and turn it on again.
●“Unavailable Side Radar Obstruction”:
When side radar blockage is detected.
When the blockage is removed, turn off the
BCI system and turn it on again.
