Illustration 6: If the driver activates the turn
signal while another vehicle is in the detec-
tion zone, then the system chimes (twice)
and the side indicator light flashes.
NOTE:
The radar sensors may not detect a vehicle
which is traveling at about the same speed
as your vehicle when it enters the detection
zone.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNA-
VAILABLE

system will be turned off automatically, a
chime will sound and the “Unavailable Side
Radar Obstruction” warning message will
appear in the vehicle information display.
The system is not available until the condi-
tions no longer exist.
The radar sensors may be blocked by
temporary ambient conditions such as
splashing water, mist or fog. The blocked
condition may also be caused by objects
such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing the radar
sensors.

If the BSW system stops working, the Blind
Spot Intervention
®(BSI) system (if so
equipped) will also stop working.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the system will resume automatically.

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
The 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
system chimes (twice) and the side indicator
light flashes. The side indicator light con-
tinues to flash until the detected vehicle
leaves the detection zone.
If the 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 BSI system slightly
applies the brakes to help return the vehicle
back to the center of the driving lane. The
BSI system operates regardless of turn
signal usage.
NOTE:
.BSI warning and system application 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 BSI warning or system
application will be activated. (See “BSI
driving situations” (P.5-47).)
