BSM (Blind Spot Moni-

assist the driver in confirming
safety when changing lanes.

■Cautions regarding the use of the system
The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. Always drive safely, tak- ing care to observe your
surroundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a supple-
mentary function which alerts the
driver that a vehicle is in a blind spot of the outside rear view mirrors or is
approaching rapidly from behind into
a blind spot. Do not overly rely on the Blind Spot Monitor. 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 cor-
rectly under certain conditions, the
driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
