BSM (Blind Spot Moni-
tor)*
The Blind Spot Monitor is a
system that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on
the inner side of the rear
bumper on the left and right
side to assist the driver in
confirming safety when
changing lanes.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
●The driver is solely responsible
for safe driving. Always drive
safely, taking care to observe
your surroundings.
●The Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-
plementary 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 func-
tion cannot judge if it is safe to
change lanes, over reliance
could lead to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury.
As the system may not function
correctly under certain condi-
tions, the driver’s own visual con-
firmation of safety is necessary.

lowing vehicles traveling in adjacent lanes and advises the dri ver of
the presence of such vehicles v ia the indicators on the outside rear
view mirrors.
Vehicles that are traveling in areas that are not visible using the
outside rear view mirrors (the blind spots)
Vehicles that are approaching r apidly from behind in areas that
are not visible using the outside rear view mirrors (the blind spots)
■The Blind Spot Monitor detection areas

*1: The area between the side of the vehicle and 1.6 ft. (0.5 m) f rom the side
of the vehicle cannot be detected.
*2: The greater the difference in speed between your vehicle and t he
detected vehicle is, the farthe r away the vehicle will be detec ted, causing
the outside r ear view mirror indicato r to illuminate or flash.

ational when
The Blind Spot Monitor is opera-
tional when all of the following con-
ditions are met:
●The power switch is in ON.
●The Blind Spot Monitor is on.
●The shift position is in a position
other than R.
●The vehicle speed is greater than
approximately 7 mph (10 km/h).
■The Blind Spot Monitor will

The Blind Spot Mon itor will detect a
vehicle present in the detection area
in the followin g situations:
●A vehicle in an adjacent lane over-
takes your vehicle.
●You overtake a vehicle in an adja-
cent lane slowly.
●Another vehicle enters the detec-
tion area when it changes lanes.
■Conditions under which the
system will not detect a vehicle
The Blind Spot Monitor is not
designed to detect the following
types of vehicles and/or objects:
●Small motorcycles, bicycles,
pedestrians, etc.,*
●Vehicles traveling in the opposite
direction
●Guardrails, walls, signs, parked
vehicles and similar stationary
objects
*
●Following vehicles that are in the

●Vehicles traveling 2 lanes away
from your vehicle*
●Vehicles which are being over-
taken rapidly by your vehicle*
*
: Depending on the conditions, detection of a v ehicle and/or
object may occur.
■Conditions under which the
system may not function cor-
rectly
●The Blind Spot Monitor may not
detect vehicles corr ectly in the fol-
lowing situations:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the sen-
sor or its surrounding area
• When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc., is covering the sensor or sur-
rounding area on the rear bumper
• When driving on a road surface that is wet with standing water
during bad weather, such as
heavy rain, snow, or fog
• When multiple vehicles are approaching with only a small gap
between each vehicle
• When the distance between your vehicle and a following vehicle is
short
• When there is a significant differ- ence in speed between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle that enters the
detection area
• When the difference in speed
between your vehicle and another
vehicle is changing

Multi-information display
Turning the Safe Exit Assist on/off
When the system determines that
the possibility of a collision with a
door is high, the target door is dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play. Also, if the door is opened
when the outside r ear view mirror
indicator is illuminated, a buzzer
will sound as a warning.
Outside rear view mirror indi-
cators
When a vehicle or bicycle which
may collide with a door (other than
the back door) when opened is
detected, the outside rear view mir-
ror indicator on the detected side
will illuminate. If the door on the
detected side is open, the outside
rear view mirror indicator will blink.
■Outside rear vie w mirror indica-
tor visibility
In strong sunlight, the outside rear
view mirror indicator may be difficult
to see.
■Buzzer
If the volume setting of the audio
system is high or the surrounding
area is loud, it may be difficult to
hear the buzzer.
SEA (Safe Exit Assist)*
The Safe Exit Assist is a
system that uses radar sen-
sors installed on the inner
side of the rear bumper to
help occupants judge if an
approaching vehicle or
bicycle may collide with a
door to reduce the possibil-
ity of a collision.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
●The driver is solely responsible
for safe driving. Always drive
safely, taking care to observe
your surroundings.
●Safe Exit Assist is a supplemen-
tary system that, when the vehi-
cle is stopped, informs
occupants of the existence of
approaching vehicles and bicy-
cles. As this system alone can-
not be used to judge safety,
over-reliance on this system
may lead to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury.
As the system may not function
correctly under certain condi-
tions, visual confirmation of
safety with the passengers’ own
eyes and mirrors is necessary.
