WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the BCI
system could result in serious injury or
death.
. The BCI system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedure, is not
designed to prevent contact with
vehicles or objects and does not
provide full brake power. When back-
ing out of parking spaces, always use
the inside and rear mirrors and turn
and look in the direction you will
move. Never rely solely on the BCI
system.
. There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar or the sonar.
Using the BCI system under some
road, ground, traffic or weather con-
ditions could lead to improper system
operation. Always rely on your own
operation to avoid accidents.
The BCI system can help alert the driver of
an approaching vehicle or objects behind the
vehicle when the driver is backing out of a
parking space.
JVS1152X
The BCI system uses radar sensorsinstalled on both sides near the rear bumper
to detect an approaching vehicle and sonar
sensors
to detect objects in the rear.

The radar sensorsdetect an approaching
vehicle from up to approximately 49 ft (15
m) away. The sonar sensors
detect
stationary objects behind the vehicle up to
approximately 4.9 ft (1.5 m). Refer to the

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 back-
wards. After the automatic brake applica-
tion, 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 ap-
plying the brake. If you continue to accel-
erate, the system will not engage the brake.

.In the case of several vehicles approach-
ing in a row (Illustration 1) or in the
opposite direction (Illustration 2), a
chime may not be issued to 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 chime (single
beep) indicating an approaching 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 center display.
JVS0307X
If an approaching vehicle or close object
behind the vehicle is detected when your
vehicle is backing up, a red frame
will
appear in the center 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.

BCI OFF indicator

The BCI system can be turned off tempora-
rily by touching the BCI system keyon the
center display. The indicator on the BCI
system key turns off and the BCI OFF
indicator appears on the vehicle information
display.
When the shift lever is placed in the R
(Reverse) position again, the BCI system is
turned on.
HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE
BCI SYSTEM

BCI SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the BCI system. Failure to operatethe vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in serious
injury or death.
.
Always check your surroundings and
turn to check what is behind you
before backing up. .
The radar sensors detect approach-
ing (moving) vehicles. The radar sen-
sors cannot detect every object such
as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals or child operated toy vehicles
— A vehicle that passing at speeds greater than approximately 15
MPH (24 km/h)
. The radar sensors may not detect
approaching vehicles in certain situa-
tions:
— Illustration a. When a vehicle parked next to you obstructs the
beam of the radar sensor.
— Illustration b. When the vehicle is parked in an angled parking space.
— Illustration c. When the vehicle is parked on inclined ground.
— Illustration d. When an approach- ing vehicle turns into your vehi-
cle’s parking lot aisle.
— Illustration e. When the angle formed by your vehicle and ap-
proaching vehicle is small.
. The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar sensors to
detect other vehicles:
