tion display.
Each time the engine switch is turned to ON, the Blind Spot
Monitor is enabled.
■Objects that can be detected while driving
The Blind Spot Monitor uses rear side radar sensors to detect the fol-
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)
■Detection range while driving
The areas that vehicles can be detected in are outlined below.
The range of each detection area is:
Approximately 1.6 ft. (0.5 m) to 11.5 ft. (3.5 m) from either s ide of
the vehicle
*1
Approximately 3.3 ft. (1 m) forward of the rear bumper

*1: The area between the side of the vehicle and 1.6 ft. (0.5 m) from 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.

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

RCTA (Rear Cross Traf-
fic Aler t) function*
The RCTA function uses the
BSM rear side radar sensors
installed behind the rear
bumper. This function is
intended to assist the driver
in checking areas that are
not easily visible when
backing up.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. Always drive safely,
taking care to o bserve your sur-
roundings. The RCTA function is
only a supplementary function
which alerts the driver that a vehi-
cle is approaching from the right
or left at the rear of the vehicle. As
the RCTA function may not func-
tion correctly under certain condi-
tions, the driver’s own visual
confirmation of safety is neces-
sary. Over relia nce on this func-
tion may lead to an accident
resulting death or serious injury.

Safe Exit Assist*
The safe exit assist is a sys-
tem that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on
the inner side of the rear
bumper to help occupants
judge if an approaching
vehicle or bicycle may col-
lide with a door when open-
ing it or cancel opening of
the door, to reduce the pos-
sibility 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.
●The safe exit assist is a supple-
mentary system that, when the
vehicle 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.
In certain situations, this system
may not function to its fullest
extent. Therefore it is necessary
for the occupants to visually
check for safety directly and using
the mirrors.

WARNING
■To ensure the system can
operate properly
Safe exit assist sensors are
installed behind the left and right
sides of the rear bumper respec-
tively. Observe the following to
ensure the safe e xit assist can
operate correctly.

2224-5. Using the driving support systems
■Objects that can be detected by the Safe exit assist
When the safe exit assist detects the following vehicles or bicycles
behind your vehicle using a rear side radar sensor, the occupan ts of
the vehicle are informed through an outside rear view mirror in dica-
tor, buzzer, and the multi-information display.
Vehicle or bicycle which has a high possibility of colliding wi th a
door (other than the back door) when opened
■The Safe exit assist detection areas
The areas that vehicles can be detected in are outlined below.
Approximately 145 ft. (45 m) rearward from the front door
*
*: The faster a vehicle or bicycle is approaching, the distance at which an
outside rear view mirror ind icator will illuminate or blink wil l become fur-
ther.
■The Safe exit ass ist is opera-
tional when
The Safe exit assist is operational
when all of the following conditions
are met:
●When the engine switch is ON, less than 3 minutes have elapsed
since the engine was off, or less
than 3 minutes have elapsed
since a door was opened and
someone has entered the vehicle
(the time which operation is possi-
ble may be extended if a door is
opened and closed)
