Do  not  use  the  or  posi-
tion during cooling operation in
extremely  humid  weather. The
difference  between  the  temper-
ature of the outside air and that

the  outer  surface  of  the  wind-
screen  to  fog  up, causing  loss
of visibility. In this case, set the

Driving your vehicle
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
a  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-
ling 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  in  reverse. The  feature  will
operate  when  the  vehicle  is  mov-
ing  in  reverse  below  about  10
km/h. If  oncoming  cross  traffic  is
detected  a  warning  chime  will
sound.

•The  Blind  Spot  Detection
System (BSD) is a supplemen-
tal  system  to  assist  you. Do
not  entirely  rely  on  the  sys-
tem. Always  pay  attention,
whilst driving, for your safety.
•The  Blind  Spot  Detection
System  (BSD)  is  not  a  substi-
tute  for  proper  and  safe  driv-
ing. Always  drive  safely  and
use  caution  when  changing
lanes or reversing the vehicle.
The  Blind  Spot  Detection
System  (BSD)  may  not  detect
every  object  alongside  the
vehicle.
