BCI SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h) , the BCI system
operates.
If the radar detects a vehicle approaching from
the side or the sonar detects close stationary
objects behind the vehicle, the system gives
visual and audible warnings. If the driver does
not apply the brakes, the system automatically
applies the brake for a moment when the vehicle
is moving backwards. After the automatic brake
application, the driver must depress the brake
pedal to maintain brake pressure. If the driver’s
foot is on the accelerator pedal, the system

pushes the accelerator upward before applying
the brake. If you continue to accelerate, the
system will not engage the brake.

NOTE:
.In the case of several vehicles ap-
proaching in a row (Illustration 1) or
from the opposite direction (Illustration
2) , a chime may not be sounded by the
BCI system after the first vehicle
passes the sensors.
. The sonar system chime indicating
there is an object behind the vehicle
has a higher priority than the BCI
chimes (once) indicating an approach-
ing vehicle. If the sonar system detects
an object behind the vehicle and the
BCI system detects an approaching
vehicle at the same time, the following
indications are provided:
—The sonar system chime sounds
— The side indicator light on the side
of the approaching vehicle flashes,
and
— A yellow rectangular frame appears
in the display.

If an approaching vehicle or object behind the
vehicle is detected when your vehicle is backing
up, a red frame
*Awill appear on the display
and the system will chime three times. Then, the
brakes will be applied momentarily. After the
automatic brake application, the driver must
depress the brake pedal to maintain brake
pressure.
If the driver’s foot is on the accelerator pedal, the
system moves the accelerator pedal upward
before the braking is applied. However, if you
continue to accelerate, the system will not
engage the brakes.
The BCI system does not operate if the
object is very close to the bumper.

system could result in serious personal
injury or death.
.When the vehicle ahead detection
indicator light is not illuminated,
system will not control the vehicle
or warn the driver.
. Never place your foot under the
brake pedal. Your foot may be
caught when the system controls
the brake.
. Depending on the position of the
accelerator pedal, the system may
not be able to assist the driver to
release the accelerator pedal appro-
priately.
The DCA system brakes and moves the accel-
erator pedal upward according to the distance
from and the relative speed of the vehicle ahead
to help assist the driver in maintaining a
following distance. The system will decelerate
as necessary and if the vehicle ahead comes to
