The Blind Spot Detection System (BSD)
uses radar sensors in the rear bumper to
monitor and warn the driver of an
approaching vehicle in the driver's blindspot area. The system monitors the rear area of the
vehicle and provides information to the
driver with an audible alert and a indica-
tor on the outside rearview mirrors. ➀
BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The blind spot detection range varies
relative to vehicle speed. Note that if
your vehicle is traveling much faster
than the vehicles around you, the
warning will not occur.
➁ LCA (Lane Change Assist)
The Lane Change Assist feature will
alert you when a vehicle is approach-
ing in an adjacent lane at a high rate of
speed. If the driver activates the turnsignal when the system detects an
oncoming vehicle, the system sounds
an audible alert. The time of alert
varies according to the speed differ-
ence between you and the approach-
ing vehicle.
➂ RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert feature
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
moving in reverse below about 10 km/h
(6 mph). If oncoming cross traffic is
detected a warning chime will sound.
The time of alert varies according to
the speed difference between you and
the approaching vehicle.
BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM (BSD) (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING
Always be aware of road condi- tions while driving and be alert
for unexpected situations eventhough the Blind Spot DetectionSystem is operating.
The Blind Spot Detection System (BSD) is not a substitute for prop-
er and safe driving. Always drive
safely and use caution when
changing lanes or backing up the
vehicle. The Blind Spot Detection
System (BSD) may not detect
every object alongside the vehi-
cle.

Operating conditions
To operate:
Press the BSD switch with the Ignition
switch in the ON position.
The indicator on the BSD switch will illumi-
nate. When the vehicle speed exceeds 30
km/h (20 mph), the system will be activat-ed.

previous state.
When the system is turned on, the warning light will illuminate for 3 sec-
onds on the outside rearview mirror.
The system will activate when:
1. The system is on.
2. The vehicle speed is above about 30 km/h (20 mph).
3. An oncoming vehicle is detected in the blind spot area. First stage alert
If a vehicle is detected within the bound-
ary of the system, an amber warning light
will illuminate on the outside rearview
mirror.
Once the detected vehicle is no longer
within the blind spot area, the warning
will turn off according to the driving con-
ditions of the vehicle

A warning chime to alert the driver will
activate when:
1. A vehicle has been detected in the
blind spot area by the radar system
(the warning light will illuminate on the
outside rearview mirror) AND

When this alert is activated, the warning
light on the outside rearview mirror will
also blink.
If you turn off the turn signal indicator, the
warning chime will be deactivated. - The second stage alarm can be deac-
tivated.

Driving your vehicle
✽✽NOTICE
The system may not work properly when the bumper has been damaged,
or if the rear bumper has been
replaced or repaired.
The sensing range differs somewhat
according to the width of the road.
When the road is narrow, the system
may detect other vehicles in the next
lane Or when the road is wide, the sys-
tem may not detect other vehicles in
the next lane.
The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
Warning message
This warning message may appearwhen : - One or both of the sensors on the
rear bumper is blocked by dirt or snow
or a foreign object.
- Driving in rural areas where the BSD
sensor does not detect another vehicle
for an extended period of time.
- When there is inclement weather
such as heavy snow or rain.
- A trailer or carrier is installed. (To use
the BSD system, remove the trailer or
carrier from your vehicle.)
If any of these conditions occur, the light
on the BSD switch and the system will
turn off automatically.
OUM054177L
WARNING
The warning light on the outside rearview mirror will illuminate
whenever a vehicle is detected at
the rear side by the system.
To avoid accidents, do not focus
only on the warning light and neg-
lect to see the surrounding of the
vehicle.
Drive safely even though the vehi- cle is equipped with a Blind SpotDetection System (BSD) and Rear
Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). Do not
solely rely on the system but check
your surrounding before changing
lanes or backing the vehicle up.
The system may not alert the driver
in some conditions so always
check your surroundings whiledriving.
The Blind Spot Detection System (BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) are not a substitute for
proper and safe driving practices.
Always drive safely and use cau-
tion when changing lanes or back-
ing up your vehicle. The Blind Spot
Detection System (BSD) may not
detect every object alongside the
vehicle.
