Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) Warning Indicator Light/Display Indicator/
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) Warning Beep
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)or Rear Cross Traf fi c Alert (RCTA) system noti fi es the
driver of the presence of vehicles in adjacent lanes or at the rear of t\
he 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 d\
isplay) 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 m\
omentarily 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

*Some models.
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 veh\
icle speed is about
30 km/h (19 mph) or faster, and if your vehicle approaches a vehicle ahead more closely
than what is appropriate for maintaining distance between the vehicles a\
ccording to the
vehicle speed, a notifi cation in the active driving display is indicated to advise you to keep \
a
safe 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.

NOTE
  The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) operates when all of th\
e following
conditions are met:

presence of
motorcycles and bicycles.
  The Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS) system may not operate \
normally
under the following conditions:
  The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) has a malfunction.  The vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely slow speed.   The system does not operate with the following objects:   Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.  Stationary objects (stopped vehicles, obstructions)
