i-ACTIVSENSE*
i-ACTIVSENSE is a collective term covering a series of advanced safety and driver support
systems which make use of a Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) and radar sensors. These
systems consist of active safety and pre-crash safety systems.
These systems are designed to assist the driver in safer driving by reducing the load on the
driver and helping to avert collisions or reduce their severity. However, because each system
has its limitations, always drive carefull y and do not rely solely on the systems.
▼Active Safety Technology
Active Safety Technology supports safer driving
by helping the driver to recognize potential
hazards and avert accidents.

Radar sensors (rear)
The radar sensors (rear) function by detecting the radio waves reflected off a vehicle
approaching from the rear or an obstruction sent from the radar sensors. The following
systems also use the radar sensors (rear).
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
The radar sensors (rear) are installed inside the rear bumper, one each on the left and right
sides.
Refer to Radar Sensors (Rear) on page 4-215.
Front camera/side cameras/rear view camera
The front camera, side cameras, and rear came ra shoot images of the area surrounding the
vehicle. The 360° View Monitor uses each camera.
Cameras are installed to the front bumper, door mirrors, and liftgate.
Refer to Front Camera/Side Cameras/Rear Camera on page 4-217.

Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)*
The BSM is designed to assist the driver in checking the area to the rear of the vehicle on
both sides during lane changes by notifying the driver of the presence of vehicles
approaching from the rear in an adjacent lane.
The 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 notifies the driver by turning on the
BSM warning indicator light and displaying th e vehicle detection screen (vehicles with
instrument cluster (Type A/B) and active driving display).
If the turn signal lever is operated to si gnal a turn in the direction in which the BSM
warning indicator light is illuminated while the approaching vehicle is detected, the BSM
notifies the driver of possible danger by tu rning on the BSM warning indicator light, and by
activating the warning sound and the warning screen indicator display (vehicles with
instrument cluster (Type A/B) 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 the vehicle.
Detection areas
Your vehicle
WA R N I N G
Always check the surrounding area visually 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 BSM warning
indicator light, the warning sound and the warn ing 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.

▼Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) Warning In
dicator Light/Display Indicator/Blind
Spot Monitoring (BSM) Warning Beep
The BSM or Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system notifies the driver of the presence of
vehicles in adjacent lanes or at the rear of the vehicle using the BSM warning indicator
light, the warning sound and the display indicator (vehicles with instrument cluster (Type
A/B) and active driving display) (BSM) while the systems are operational.
BSM warning indicator lights
The BSM warning indicator lights are equipped on the left and right door mirrors. The
warning indicator lights turn on when a vehicl e approaching from the rear in an adjacent
lane is detected.
When the ignition is switched ON, the warn ing indicator light turns on momentarily and
then turns off after a few seconds.
Forward driving (BSM operation)
The BSM detects vehicles approaching from the rear and turns on the BSM warning
indicator lights equipped on the door mirrors according to the conditions. Additionally,
while a BSM warning indicator li ght is illuminated, if the turn signal lever is operated to
signal a turn in the direction in which the BS M warning indicator light is illuminated, the
BSM warning indicator light flashes.
Reverse driving (Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system operation)
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system detects a vehicle approaching from the rear of
the vehicle and flashes the BSM warning indicator lights.
Function for cancelling illumination dimmer
If the BSM warning indicator lights turn on wh en the parking lights are turned on, the
brightness of the BSM warning indicator lights is dimmed.

CX-5_8HX6-EA-19I_Edition2_old 2019-9-19 9:26:07

If the BSM warning indicator lights are difficult to see due to glare from surrounding
brightness when traveling on snow-covered ro ads or under foggy conditions, press the
dimmer cancellation button to cancel the di mmer and increase the brightness of BSM
warning indicator lights when they turn on.
Refer to Dashboard Illumination on page 4-19, 4-35, 4-50.
Display indicator (Vehicles with multi-info rmation display and active driving display)
The detected approaching vehicle and warning are displayed in the multi-information
display and active driving display when the ve hicle is moving forward (BSM operational).
Multi-information Display Active Driving Display
Detection and warning indicator Detection and warning indicator
Instrument Cluster (Type A/B)
The detected direction is displayed with a detection indicator (white) when an approaching
vehicle is detected. In addition
, if the turn signal lever is operated to signal a lane change
while the vehicle is detected, the display chan ges the color (amber) of the warning indicator.
BSM warning beep
The BSM warning beep is activated simultaneously with the flas hing of a BSM warning
indicator light.
▼ Canceling Operation of Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM)
The BSM system can be set to inoperable.
Refer to Personalization Features on page
9-11.
When the BSM is set
to inoperable, the
BSM and Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) systems are turned off and the
BSM OFF indicator light in the instrument
cluster turns on.
NOTE
When the ignition is switched OFF, the
system status before it was turned off is
maintained. For example, if the ignition is
switched OFF while the BSM and Rear
Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems are
operational, the BSM and Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA) systems remain
operational the next time the ignition is
switched ON.
