– A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind.
– A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
– A vehicle that passes through the de-
tection zone quickly.
– When overtaking several vehicles in
a row, the vehicles after the first ve-
hicle may not be detected if they are
traveling close together.
●The radar sensors’ detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect ve-
hicles in an adjacent lane. When driv-
ing in a narrow lane, the radar sen-
sors may detect vehicles driving two
lanes away.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BSI system
could result in serious injury or death.
●The BSI system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with vehicles
or objects. When changing lanes, al-
ways use the side and rear mirrors and
turn and look in the direction you will
move to ensure it is safe to change
lanes. Never rely solely on the BSI
system.
●There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar or the sonar. Not
every moving object or vehicle will be
detected. Using the BSI system under
some road, ground, lane marker, traffic
or weather conditions could lead to im-
proper system operation. Always rely
on your own operation to avoid
accidents.
●The BSI system operates above ap-
proximately 37 mph (60 km/h).
The BSI system can help alert the driver of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes.
BLIND SPOT INTERVENTION® (BSI)
(if so equipped)
5-46Starting and driving
The BSI system uses a camera1installed be-
hind the windshield to monitor the lane markers of
your traveling lane and radar sensors
2installed
near the rear bumper to detect other vehicles in
an adjacent lane.The BSI system operates above approximately
37 mph (60 km/h). If the system detects a vehicle
in the detection zone and your vehicle is ap-
proaching the lane marker, the BSI system pro-
vides an audible warning (three times) , flashes
the BSW indicator light and slightly applies the
brakes for a short period of time on one side to
help return the vehicle back to the traveling lane.
The BSI system provides an audible warning and
turns on or flashes the BSW indicator light even if
the BSW system is off.

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the detec-
tion zone, the BSW indicator light located near
the outside mirrors illuminates. If your vehicle is
approaching a lane marker, the system chimes a
sound (three times) and the BSW indicator light
flashes. Then the system applies the brakes on
one side of the vehicle for a moment to help return
the vehicle back to the center of the lane. BSI
operates regardless of turn signal usage.
NOTE:
Warning and brake control will only be ac-
tivated if the BSW indicator light is already
illuminated when your vehicle approaches
a lane marker. If another vehicle comes into
the detection zone after your vehicle has
crossed a lane marker, no warning or brake
control will be activated. For additional in-
formation, refer to “BSI driving situations”
in this section. The BSI system is typically
activated earlier than the Lane Departure
Prevention (LDP) system when your vehicle
is approaching a lane marker.
