Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) *
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) is designed to assist the driver in checking the area to the
rear of the vehicle on both sides during lane changes by notifying the driver of the presence
of vehicles approaching from the rear in an adjacent lane.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) detects vehicles approaching from the rear while
traveling in the forward direction at a speed of 10 km/h (6.3 mph) or faster and noti¿ es
the driver by turning on the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light and
displaying the vehicle detection screen (vehicles with multi-information display and active
driving display).
If the turn signal lever is operated to signal a turn in the direction in which the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light is illuminated while the approaching vehicle is
detected, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) noti¿ es the driver of possible danger by turning
on the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light, and by activating the warning
sound and the warning screen indicator display (vehicles with multi-information display and
active driving display).
The detection area on this system covers the driving lanes on both sides of the vehicle and
from the rear part of the front doors to about 50 m (164 ft) behind the vehicle.

Detection areas Your vehicle

WARNING
Always check the surrounding area visually before making an actual lane change:
The system is only designed to assist you in checking for vehicles at your rear when
making a lane change. Due to certain limitations with the operation of this system, the
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light, the warning sound and the warning
screen indicator display may not activate or they might be delayed even though a vehicle
is in an adjacent driving lane. Always make it your responsibility as a driver to check the
rear.

may not occur or they may be delayed.
 


y A vehicle makes a lane change from a driving lane two lanes over to an adjacent lane.



y Driving on steep slopes.



y Crossing the summit of a hill or mountain pass.



y The turning radius is small (making a sharp turn, turning at intersections).



y When there is a difference in the height between your driving lane and the adjacent
lane.
 


y Directly after pressing the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF switch and the system
becomes operable.
 


y If the road width is extremely narrow, vehicles two lanes over may be detected.
The detection area of the radar sensors (rear) is set according to the road width of
expressways.
 


y The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light may turn on and the vehicle
detection screen may be displayed in the display in reaction to stationary objects
(guardrails, tunnels, sidewalls, and parked vehicles) on the road or the roadside.

Objects such as guardrails and concrete walls
running alongside the vehicle.Places where the width between guardrails or
walls on each side of the vehicle narrows.


The walls at the entrance and exits of tunnels,

y A Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light may À ash or the warning beep
may be activated several times when making a turn at a city intersection.
 y Turn off the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) while pulling a trailer or while an accessory
such as a bicycle carrier is installed to the rear of the vehicle. Otherwise, the radar’s
radio waves will be blocked causing the system to not operate normally.
 


y In the following cases, it may be dif¿ cult to view the illumination/À ashing of the Blind
Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights equipped on the door mirrors.
 


y Snow or ice is adhering to the door mirrors.

 y The radar sensors (rear) of the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) may be regulated under
the radio wave related laws of the country where the vehicle is driven. The sensors
in this system are approved for use in the U.S.A. (including territories), Canada, and
Mexico. If a vehicle with a Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) is driven in a country other
than the U.S.A., Canada, or Mexico, the system has to be turned off using the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) OFF switch.
 


y The system switches to the Rear Cross Traf¿ c Alert function when the selector lever is
shifted to the reverse (R) position.

Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) Warning Beep
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) or Rear Cross Traf¿ c Alert (RCTA) system noti¿ es the
driver of the presence of vehicles in adjacent lanes or at the rear of the vehicle using the
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light, the warning sound and the display
indicator (vehicles with multi-information display and active driving display) while the
systems are operational.
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights are equipped on the left and
right door mirrors. The warning indicator lights turn on when a vehicle approaching from
the rear in an adjacent lane is detected.


When the ignition is switched ON, the warning indicator light turns on momentarily and
then turns off after a few seconds.

Forward driving (Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) operation)
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) detects vehicles approaching from the rear and turns on
the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights equipped on the door mirrors
according to the conditions. Additionally, while a Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning
indicator light is illuminated, if the turn signal lever is operated to signal a turn in the
direction in which the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light is illuminated,
the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light À ashes.
Reverse driving (Rear Cross Traf¿ c Alert (RCTA) system operation)
The Rear Cross Traf¿ c Alert (RCTA) system detects vehicles approaching from the left and
right of your vehicle and À ashes the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights.

If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights turn on when the parking lights
are turned on, the brightness of the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights is
dimmed.
If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights are dif¿ cult to see due to
glare from surrounding brightness when traveling on snow-covered roads or under foggy
conditions, press the dimmer cancellation button to cancel the dimmer and increase the
brightness of Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights when they turn on.
Refer to Dashboard Illumination on page 4-17 .

Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) *
The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) measures the distance between your
vehicle and a vehicle ahead using a radar sensor (front) while the vehicle speed is 30 km/h
or faster (19 mph or faster), and indicates a recommended distance to maintain between
the vehicles. Furthermore, if your vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead more closely than
the appropriate distance to maintain between the vehicles according to the vehicle speed,
the area between the vehicle-ahead indication and the vehicle indication in the multi-
information display À ashes in white to advise the driver to keep a safer distance from the
vehicle ahead.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) and always
drive carefully:
The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) provides advice for safer driving and
notifi es the driver of a recommended, safer distance to maintain with a vehicle ahead.
The ability to detect a vehicle ahead is limited depending on the type of vehicle ahead,
the weather conditions, and the traffi c conditions. Therefore, if the accelerator and brake
pedals are not operated correctly it could lead to an accident. Always verify the safety of
the surrounding area and depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal while keeping a
safer distance from vehicles ahead or on-coming vehicles.

N O T E

y The ignition is switched ON. 
y The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) is on.



y The selector lever is in a position other than reverse (R).



y The vehicle speed is 30 km/h or faster (19 mph or faster). 

y The objects which activate the system are 4-wheeled vehicles.



y The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) may also operate in the presence of
