Driving
The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that
has 2 functions:
The BSM (Blind Spot Monitor) func-
tion
Assists the driver in making a deci-
sion when changing lanes
 The RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
function
Assists the driver when backing up
These functions use same sensors. BSM main switch
This switch is for both the BSM function
and RCTA function.
Pressing the switch turns the system on or
off. When the switch is
turned on, the indi-
cator on the switch illuminates.
Outside rear view mirror indicators
BSM function:
When a vehicle is detected in a blind spot
of the outside rear view mirrors or
approaching rapidly from behind into a
blind spot, the outside rear view mirror
indicator on the detected side will illumi-
nate. If the turn signal lever is operated
toward the detected side, the outside rear
view mirror indicator will flash.
RCTA function:
When a vehicle approaching from the right
or left at the rear of the vehicle is detected,
both outside rear view mirror indicators
will flash.
Center Display
If a vehicle approaching from the right or
left at the rear of the vehicle is detected,
the RCTA icon ( P.194) for the detected
side will be displaye d on the Center Dis-
play.
This illustration shows an example of a
vehicle approaching from both sides of the
vehicle.
R C T A b u z z e r ( R C T A f u n c t i o n o n l y )
If a vehicle approaching from the right or
left at the rear of the vehicle is detected, a
buzzer will sound. The buzzer also sounds
for approximately 1 second immediately
after the BSM main swit ch is operated to
turn the system on.
■Outside rear view mirror indicator visi-
bility
In strong sunlight, the outside rear view mir-
ror indicator may be difficult to see.
BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)
The Blind Spot Monitor is a system
that uses rear side radar sensors
installed on the in ner side of the
rear bumper on the left and right
side to assist the driver in confirm-
ing safety when changing lanes.

The BSM function uses radar sensors to detect the following vehicles traveling in
adjacent lanes and advises the driver of the presence of such vehicles via the indi-
cators on the outside rear view mirrors.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the
function
The driver is solely responsible for safe
driving. Always drive safely, taking care
to observe your surroundings.
The BSM function is a supplementary
function which alerts the driver that a
vehicle is in a blind spot of the outside
rear view mirrors or is approaching rap-
idly from behind into a blind spot. Do not
overly rely on the BSM function. As the
function cannot judge if it is safe to
change lanes, over reliance could lead to
an accident resulting in death or serious
injury.
As the system may not function correctly
under certain conditions, the driver’s own
visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
The RCTA function is only a supplemen-
tary function which alerts the driver that a
vehicle is approaching from the right or
left at the rear of the vehicle. As the
RCTA function may not function cor-
rectly under certain conditions, the
driver’s own visual confirmation of safety
is necessary. Over reli ance on this func-
tion may lead to an accident resulting
death or serious injury.

view mirrors (the blind spots)
Vehicles that are approaching rapidly from behind in areas that are not visible
using the outside rear view mirrors (the blind spots)
The areas that vehicles can be detected in are outlined below.
The range of each detection area is:
Approximately 1.6 ft. (0.5 m) to 11.5 ft. (3.5 m) from either side of the vehicle*1
Approximately 3.3 ft. (1 m) forward of the rear bumper
Approximately 9.8 ft. (3 m) from the rear bumper
Approximately 9.8 ft. (3 m) to 197 ft. (60 m) from the rear bumper
*2
*1: The area between the side of the vehicle and 1.6 ft. (0.5 m) from the side of the vehicle
cannot be detected.
*2: The greater the difference in speed between your vehicle and the detected vehicle is, the farther away the vehicle w ill be detected, causing the outside rear view mirror indi-
cator to illuminate or flash.

cle that enters the detection area
• When the difference in speed between your vehicle and another vehicle is
changing
• When a vehicle enters a detection area traveling at about the same speed as your
vehicle

vehicle in an adjacent lane is far away
from your vehicle
• When a bicycle carrier or other acces- sory is installed to the rear of the vehicle
• When there is a significant difference in height between your vehicle and the
vehicle that enters the detection area
• Immediately after the BSM main switch is
turned on
●Instances of the BSM function unneces-
sarily detecting a vehicle and/or object
may increase in the following situations:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the sensor or its sur-
rounding area
• When the distance between your vehicle and a guardrail, wall, etc. that enters the
detection area is short
• When driving up and down consecutive steep inclines, such as hills, dips in the
road, etc.
• When vehicle lanes are narrow, or when driving on the edge of a lane, and a vehi-
cle traveling in a lane other than the adja-
cent lanes enters the detection area
• When driving on roads with sharp bends, consecutive curves, or uneven surfaces
• When the tires are slipping or spinning
• When the distance between your vehicle and a following vehicle is short
• When a bicycle carrier or other acces- sory is installed to the rear of the vehicle
■Operation of the RCTA function
The RCTA function uses radar sensors to detect vehicles approaching from the
