BSI system is designed to detect
vehicles in specif ied alert zones
adjacent to your vehicle, particularly
in harder to see areas commonly
known as ‘‘blind spots.’’When BSI detects a vehicle in an
alert zone, a BSI alert indicator
comes on near the corresponding
outside rearview mirror.
While your vehicle is moving
f orward at a speed between 6 mph
(10 km/h) and 100 mph (160 km/h),
the BSI alert indicator comes on
under either of the f ollowing
conditions:
The system will not alert you to all
vehicles in blind spot zones (such as
vehicles you have just passed which
youshouldalreadybeawareof)
unless it remains in the alert zone f or
approximately 2 or more seconds.
Another vehicle overtakes you,
entering the alert zone from
behind, at a speed that dif f ers
f rom your vehicle’s speed by no
more than 31 mph (50 km/h).
You pass a vehicle at a speed that
differs from that vehicle’s speed
by no more than 12 mph (20
km/h). The indicator comes on
approximately 2 seconds af ter the
vehicle enters the alert zone. While the system is on, BSI is active
whenever the shif t lever is in the D
or S position.
