BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 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, thesystem chimes (twice) and the side in-
dicator light flashes. The side indicator
light continues to flash until the detected
vehicle leaves the detection zone.
The side indicator light illuminates for a
few seconds when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
The brightness of the side indicator light
is adjusted automatically depending on
the brightness of the ambient light.

HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE BSW
SYSTEM
Perform the following steps to enable or
disable the BSW system.
1. Push the
button until “Set-
tings” appears in the vehicle informa-
tion display and then push the OK. Use the
button to select “Driver Assis-
tance”. Then push the OK.
2. Select “Blind Spot” and push the OK.
3. Select “Warning (BSW)” and push the OK.
The warning systems switch
is used to
turn on and off the BSW system when it is
activated on the vehicle information dis-
play. When the warning systems switch
is turned off, the warning systems ON
indicator lighton the switch is off.
The warning systems switch
will turn
on and off the LDW and BSW systems at
the same time.
NOTE:
The system will retain current settings
in the vehicle information display even
if the engine is restarted.
BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the BSW system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
. The BSW system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.

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.

standard lane markers; lane
markers covered with water,
dirt, snow, etc.
— On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detect-
able.
— On roads where there are sharp curves.
— On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects,
such as shadows, snow,
water, wheel ruts, seams or
lines remaining after road re-
pairs.
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling direction does not align with
the lane markers.
— When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which
obstructs the lane camera
unit detection range.
— When rain, snow or dirt ad- heres to the windshield in
front of a lane camera unit.
— When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens
or if aiming is not adjusted properly.
— When strong light enters a lane camera unit. (For exam-
ple: light directly shines on the
front of the vehicle at sunrise
or sunset.)
— When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (For exam-
ple: when the vehicle enters or
exits a tunnel or under a
bridge.)
. Do not use the I-BSI system under
the following conditions because
the system may not function
properly.
— During bad weather. (For ex-
ample: rain, fog, snow, etc.)
— When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow,
etc.
— When driving on winding or uneven roads.
— When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
— When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane.
— When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow. — When driving with a tire that is
not within normal tire condi-
tions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation
of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original steering
parts or suspension parts.
— When towing a trailer or other vehicle.
. Excessive noise (for example,
audio system volume, open vehi-
cle window) will interfere with the
chime sound, and it may not be
heard.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
RCTA system could result in serious
injury or death.
.The RCTA system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving proce-
dures and is not designed to
prevent contact with vehicles or
objects. When backing out of a
parking space, always use the
side and rear mirrors and turn
and look in the direction your
vehicle will move. Never rely so-
lely on the RCTA system.
The RCTA system will assist you when
backing out from a parking space. When
the vehicle is in reverse, the system is
designed to detect other vehicles ap-
proaching from the right or left of the
vehicle. If the system detects cross traffic,
it will alert you.

of an approaching vehicle when the
driver is backing out of a parking space.

I-BI SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position and the vehicle speed is less than
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h), the I-BI
system operates.
If the radar detects a vehicle approaching
from the side or the sonar detects close
stationary objects behind the vehicle, the
system gives visual and audible warnings.
If the driver does not apply the brakes, the
system automatically applies the brake
for a moment when the vehicle is moving
backwards. After the automatic brake
application, the driver must depress the
brake pedal to maintain brake pressure. If
the driver’s foot is on the accelerator

The I-BI system can be turned off tem-
porarily by touching the “P” keyon the
touch screen display. The indicator on the
“P” key turns off and the I-BI OFF indicator
appears on the vehicle information dis-
play.
When the shift lever is placed in the R
(Reverse) position again, the I-BI system is
turned on.
NOTE:
. When the “P” key is touched, the
indicator light on the key will turn off
and the I-BI system will turn off
temporarily. The Moving Object De-
tection (MOD), the Rear Automatic
Braking (RAB) and the sonar sys-
tems will also be turned off at the
same time.
. When the sonar and MOD systems
are turned off on the settings menu
in the touch screen display, the “P”
key will disappear.
To enable or disable the I-BI system, use
the vehicle information display. See
“How to enable/disable the I-BI system”
(P.5-69).
