*Some models.
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) *
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) is designed to assist the driver in ch\
ecking the area to the
rear of the vehicle on both sides during lane changes by notifying the d\
river 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 notifi es
the driver by turning on the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indic\
ator light and
displaying the vehicle detection screen (vehicles with multi-informatio\
n display and active
driving display).
If the turn signal lever is operated to signal a turn in the direction i\
n which the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light is illuminated while the appr\
oaching vehicle is
detected, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) noti fi es the driver of possible danger by turning
on the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light, and by act\
ivating the warning
sound and the warning screen indicator display (vehicles with multi-inf\
ormation 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 th\
e vehicle.

WARNING
Always check the surrounding area visuall
y 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.

  If a vehicle with the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is driven in \
a country other than
the U.S.A., Canada, or Mexico, the system has to be turned off by changi\
ng the setting on
the center display.
  The system switches to the Rear Cross Traffi c Alert function when the selector lever is
shifted to the reverse (R) position.
 Refer to Rear Cross Traffi c Alert (RCTA) on page 4-117 .
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
the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights equipped on t\
he 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 l\
ight is illuminated,
the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light fl ashes.

NOTE
  When the turn signal lever is operated for a lane change, the Lane-keep \
Assist System
(LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) is automatically disabled. The
Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) becomes
operational again when the turn signal lever is returned and the system detects white
(yellow) lane lines while the vehicle is being driven normally within \
its vehicle lane.
  If the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal is operated abr\
uptly and the
vehicle moves close to a white (yellow) line, the system determines th\
at the driver is
making a lane change and the Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning
System (LDWS) operation is temporarily canceled. The Lane-keep Assist System (LAS)
& Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) becomes operational again when the system
detects white (yellow) lane lines while the vehicle is being driven no\
rmally within its
vehicle lane.
  If the vehicle deviates from its lane repeatedly within a short period of time, the Lane-
keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) may not operate.
  When white (yellow) lane lines are not detected, the Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) &
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) does not operate.
