I-BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
The I-BSI system operates above approxi-
mately 37 MPH (60 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, the
system chimes (twice) and the side in-
dicator light flashes. The side indicator
light continues to flash until the detected
vehicle leaves the detection zone.
If the I-BSI system is ON and your vehicle
approaches a lane marker while another
vehicle is in the detection zone, the
system chimes (three times) and the side
indicator light flashes. Then the I-BSI
system slightly applies the brakes to help
return the vehicle back to the center of
the driving lane. The I-BSI system oper-
ates regardless of turn signal usage.
NOTE:
.I-BSI warning and system applica-
tion of the brakes will only be
activated if the side indicator light
is already illuminated when your
vehicle approaches a lane marker.
If another vehicle comes into the
detection zone after your vehicle
has crossed a lane marker, no I-BSI
warning or system application of the
brakes will be activated. (See “I-BSI

TURNING THE I-BSI SYSTEM ON/
OFF
To turn on the I-BSI system, push the
dynamic driver assistance switchon
the steering wheel after starting the
engine. The I-BSI ON indicator light
(green)
on the instrumental panel will
illuminate.
Push the dynamic driver assistance
switch
again to turn off the I-BSI
system. The I-BSI ON indicator light
(green)
will turn off.
The dynamic driver assistance switch
is
used for the I-BSI, I-LI and I-DC systems.
When the dynamic driver assistance
switch
is pushed, the I-LI and I-DC
systems will also turn on or off simulta-
neously. The I-BSI system can be indivi-
dually set to on or off on the center
display using the center multi-function
control panel
.
If the system is set to off, the system will
not turn on even if the dynamic driver
assistance switch
is pushed to on. To
set the system to on or off on the center
display, see “How to enable/disable the I-
BSI system” (P.5-48).

painted lane markers; non-
standard lane markers; lane
markers covered with water,
dirt, snow, etc.
— On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detect-
able.
— On roads where there are sharp curves.
— On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects,
such as shadows, snow,
water, wheel ruts, seams or
lines remaining after road re-
pairs.
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling direction does not align with
the lane markers.
— When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which
obstructs the lane camera
unit detection range.
— When rain, snow or dirt ad- heres to the windshield in
front of a lane camera unit.
— When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if aiming is not adjusted
properly.
— When strong light enters a lane camera unit. (For exam-
ple: light directly shines on the
front of the vehicle at sunrise
or sunset.)
— When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (For exam-
ple: when the vehicle enters or
exits a tunnel or under a
bridge.)
. Do not use the I-BSI system under
the following conditions because
the system may not function
properly.
— During bad weather. (For ex-
ample: rain, fog, snow, etc.)
— When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow,
etc.
— When driving on winding or uneven roads.
— When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
— When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane. — When driving on roads where
the lane width is too narrow.
— When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire condi-
tions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation
of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts
or suspension parts.
— When towing a trailer or other vehicle.
. Excessive noise (for example,
audio system volume, open vehi-
cle window) will interfere with the
chime sound, and it may not be
heard.

NOTE:
.When overtaking several vehicles in
a row, the vehicles after the first
vehicle may not be detected if they
are traveling close together. .
The radar sensors may not detect
slower moving vehicles if they are
passed quickly.
. If the driver activates the turn signal
before a vehicle enters the detection
zone, the side indicator light will
flash but no chime will sound when
the other vehicle is detected.
