uuWhen Driving uBSI (Blind Spot Information)*
Driving
BSI (Blind Spot Information)*
Is designed to detect vehicles in specified alert zones adjacent to your vehicle,
particularly in harder to see areas commonly known as “blind spots.”
When vehicles in adjacent lanes are approaching your vehicle from behind, the
appropriate indicator comes on, providing assistance when you change lanes.
■How the system works

1BSI (Blind Spot Information)*
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, BSI has limitations. Over
reliance on BSI may result in a collision.
The system is for your convenience only. Even if an
object is within the alert zone, the following
situations may occur.
•The BSI alert indicator may not come on due to
obstruction (splashes, etc.) even without the BLIND
SPOT NOT AVAILABLE multi-information display
appearing.
•The BSI alert indicator may come on even with the
message appearing.
3WARNING
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to
change lanes before doing so may result in
a crash and serious injury or death.
Do not rely only on the blind spot
information system when changing lanes.
Always look in your mirrors, to either side
of your vehicle, and behind you for other
vehicles before changing lanes.

uuBraking uCMBSTM (Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM)*
Continued
Driving
CMBSTM (Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM)*
Can assist you when there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with the vehicle in
front of yours. The CMBSTM is designed to alert you, then reduce your vehicle speed
when a possible collision is likely unavoidable to help minimize collision severity.
■How the system works
■When the system activates
1 CMBSTM (Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM)*
Important Safety Reminder
The CMBSTM is designed to reduce the severity of an
unavoidable collision. It do es not prevent collision nor
stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your
responsibility to operate th e brake pedal and steering
wheel appropriately according to the driving
conditions.
The CMBS
TM may not activate or may not detect a
vehicle in front of your vehicle under the following
conditions:
•The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle
ahead of you is too short.
•A vehicle cuts in front of you at a slow speed, and
it brakes suddenly.
•When you accelerate ra pidly and approach the
vehicle ahead of you at high speed.
•The vehicle ahead of you is a motorcycle or other
small vehicle.
•A vehicle suddenly crosses in front of you.•When you drive on a curved or winding road that
makes it difficult for the se nsor to properly detect a
vehicle in front of you.
•When there are pedestrians or animals in front of
your vehicle.
A radar sensor starts to detect if there is a vehicle in front of you when your vehicle
speed is above 10 mph (15 km/h).
The radar sensor is under the
emblem in the front grille.
The CMBS
TM activates when the speed difference betw een the two vehicles
becomes more than 10 mph (15 km/h ) with a chance of a collision.
A visual alert or a combination of a visual
alert and an audible alert for a possible
collision.
