Detection zone
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the
detection zone shown as illustrated.
This detection zone starts from the out-
side mirror of your vehicle and extends
approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the
rear bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0
m) sideways.

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
Starting and driving5-47
5-48Starting and driving
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 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 will be activated. (See “I-
BSI driving situations” (P.5-51).)
. The I-BSI system is typically acti-
vated earlier than the Intelligent
Lane Intervention (I-LI) system when
your vehicle is approaching a lane
marker.

is pushed to on.
I-BSI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the I-BSI system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
. The I-BSI system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
. The radar sensors may not be
able to detect and activate I-BSI
when certain objects are present such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
— Vehicles such as motorcycles,
low height vehicles, or high
ground clearance vehicles.
— Vehicles remaining in the de- tection zone when you accel-
erate from a stop.
— Oncoming vehicles.
— A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed ap-
proximately the same as your
vehicle.
— A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
— A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly.
— A vehicle that passes through the detection zone quickly.
. The radar sensor’s detection zone
is designed based on a standard
lane width. When driving in a
wider lane, the radar sensors
may not detect vehicles in an
adjacent lane. When driving in a
narrow lane, the radar sensors
may detect vehicles driving two
lanes away. .
The radar sensors are designed
to ignore most stationary objects,
however objects such as guard-
rails, walls, foliage and parked
vehicles may occasionally be de-
tected. This is a normal operation
condition.
. The following conditions may re-
duce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles:
— Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the
vehicle
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install ac-
cessories or apply additional
paint near the radar sensors.
These conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
. The camera may not detect lane
markers in the following situa-
tions and the I-BSI system may
not operate properly.
— On roads where there are
multiple parallel lane markers;
lane markers that are faded or
not painted clearly; yellow
painted lane markers; non-
