FRONT VIEW MONITOR(if equipped)
The Front View Monitor provides you with
visibility from the front grille shown in the
Multi-Function Display, allowing you to check
blind spots and see road surface conditions
around the front tires during off-road driving,
such as when driving downhill. The Front View
Monitor also supports everyday
driving safety, improving visibility
when making turns with an
obstructed view or pulling into a
narrow parking spot. A guide line
is displayed to provide distance
and width references.
With the ignition in “ON” or
“ACC”, press the “VIEW” switch
on the center console (or shift the
select lever from “R” to “D”) to
display the Front View Monitor
image on the Multi-Function
Display (MFD). You can manually
turn off the Front View Monitor by
pressing the “VIEW” or “INFO”
switch. The function will also deactivate automatically.
BLIND SPOT DETECTION (BSD) / REAR CROSS
TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA) (if equipped)
This system uses radar sensors mounted behind the rear bumper on the left and right
sides that warn you if another vehicle is sensed in your blind spots. These functions
provide additional awareness when changing lanes or driving in reverse.
For more information, please refer to the following sections of this Getting Started
Guide and “Starting and Operating” in your Owner’s Manual.
Blind Spot Detection (BSD)
Blind Spot Detection senses if a vehicle is traveling at the same
relative speed in your blind spot and provides a visual warning. If
the system detects a vehicle in your blind spot, the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator light in the corresponding side mirror frame
illuminates. If you operate the turn signal lever in the direction the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator light is illuminated, the system provides an additional level
of warning by rapidly flashing the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light.
