Laser warning labelBlind Spot Warning (BSW)(with Lane Change Assist)*
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) is a driving aid system that alerts the driver when another
vehicle, which may not be visible through the outside rear-view mirror, is travelling in the next lane behind your vehicle.
When a vehicle in the next lane is travelling
at the same speed or faster in the detection
areas, the Blind Spot Warning lamp in the corresponding outside rear-view mirror will
illuminate. If the turn-signal lever is operated to the side where the Blind Spot Warning
lamp is illuminated, the Blind Spot Warning
lamp will blink and the system will beep three times to alert the driver.
Depending on the speed of your vehicle, the
BSW system will detect up to approximately 70 m from your vehicle.:ARN,NGz Before using the BSW, read this entire
section to fully understand the limitationsof this system. Failure to follow instruc- tions could result in an accident.:ARN,NGz Never rely solely on the BSW system
when changing lanes. The BSW is an aidonly. It is not a substitute for your safe
and careful driving. Always check visually
behind and all around your vehicle for other vehicles.
The performance of the BSW may vary
depending on driving, traffic and/or road conditions.Detection areas
The BSW uses two sensors (A) located inside
the rear bumper.
The detection areas are shown as illustrated.

:ARN,NGzIn certain situations, the BSW may not
detect a vehicle in the detection areas or
the detection may be delayed. Some of these include:

To operate
When the BSW switch is pressed while theignition switch is turned to the “ON” position
or the operation mode is put in ON, the
in-
dicator (green) will appear on the information
screen of the multi-information display and the BSW will enter the standby state.
When the BSW switch is pressed again, the
indicator on the information screen of the
multi-information display will then go out and the BSW will turn off.
If you turn the BSW ON/OFF, the Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA) also turns ON/OFF at
the same time.
NOTEz After the system check screen disappears,
the indicator (green) appears on the infor-
mation screen of the multi-information dis-
play.
Refer to “Information screen (when the igni- tion switch is turned from the “LOCK” posi-
tion to the “ON” position or the operation mode is changed from OFF to ON)” on page 5-08.
z When the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position or the operation mode is
set to OFF, the selected condition (BSW
ON/OFF) just before setting to OFF is re- tained.
z The BSW operates when all of the following
conditions are met.

If the turn-signal lever is operated to the sidewhere the BSW lamp is illuminated, the
BSW lamp will blink and the system will beep 3 times to alert the driver.NOTEz The BSW lamp in the outside rear-view mir-
ror may come on or blink in the following
conditions.

When the warning display appears, the sensor
cannot detect a vehicle travelling side by side or an approaching vehicle, because foreignobjects, such as dirt, snow or ice, adhere to the bumper surface around the sensor.Remove dirt, freezing or foreign material on
the bumper surface around the sensor. When the warning display does not disappear after having cleaned the sensor, contact a

Point.Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA)*
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) is an aid system for backing up. When the RCTA
system detects vehicles approaching from
sides while your vehicle is reversing, the Blind Spot Warning lamps in the outside rear-
view mirrors on both sides will blink and a buzzer will sound to alert the driver. A warn-
ing message will also appear on the informa-
tion screen of the multi-information display.
:ARN,NGz Before using the RCTA, read this entire
section to fully understand the limitations
of this system. Failure to follow instruc-
tions could result in an accident.:ARN,NGz Never rely solely on the RCTA when
backing up. The RCTA is an aid system.
It is not a substitute for your safe and careful driving. Always check visually be-
hind and all around your vehicle for other vehicles, persons, animals or obstructions.
The performance of the RCTA may vary depending on driving, traffic and/or sur-rounding conditions.NOTEz The Blind Spot Warning lamps in the outside
rear-view mirrors on both sides will blink, even when only one vehicle is approachingfrom one side.
z If a system problem, etc., is detected after
the RTCA warning message appears on the
information screen in the multi-information display, the information screen may change to another warning message.

Departure Warning (LDW) gives you a warn- ing when your vehicle is likely to drift from
its lane with an audible alarm and a visual
alarm displayed on the information screen of the multi-information display.
For details about handling the sensor, refer to “Handling of the sensor” on page 6-53.How to operate LDW
The indication on the information screen of
