uuWhen Driving uBlind Spot Information (BSI) System
Driving
Blind Spot Information (BSI) System
Is designed to detect vehicl es in specified alert zones adjacent to your vehicle,
particularly in harder to see areas commonly known as “blind spots.”
When the system detects vehi cles approaching from behind in adjacent lanes, the
appropriate indicator comes on for a few se conds, providing assistance when you
change lanes.
■How the system works
1 Blind Spot Inform ation (BSI) System
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, BSI has limitations. Over
reliance on BSI may result in a collision.
The system is for your convenience only. Even if an
object is within the alert zone, the following
situations may occur.
•The BSI alert indicator may not come on due to
obstruction (splashes, et c.) even without the Blind
Spot Not Available multi-information display
appearing.
•The BSI alert indicator may come on even with the
message appearing.
The BSI alert i ndicator may not come on under the
following conditions:
•A vehicle does not stay in the alert zone for more
than two seconds.
•A vehicle is parked in a side lane.•The speed difference between your vehicle and the
vehicle you are passing is greater than 6 mph (10 km/h).
3WARNING
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to
change lanes before doing so may result in
a crash and serious injury or death.
Do not rely only on the blind spot
information system wh en changing lanes.
Always look in your mirrors, to either side
of your vehicle, and behind you for other
vehicles before changing lanes.
Alert zone range
A: Approx. 1.6 ft. (0.5 m)
B: Approx. 10 ft. (3 m)
C: Approx. 10 ft. (3 m) Radar Sensors:

rear bumper
corners
Alert ZoneA

C
Radar sensors detect a
vehicle in the alert zone
when your vehicle is moving
forward at 20 mph (32 km/h)
or faster.
