WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BSI system could
result in serious injury or death.
• The BSI system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure and is not de-
signed to prevent contact with vehicles
or objects. When changing lanes, always
use the side and rear mirrors and turn
and look in the direction you will move to
ensure it is safe to change lanes. Never
rely solely on the BSI system.
• There is a limitation to the detection ca-
pability of the radar or the sonar. Not
every moving object or vehicle will be de-
tected. Using the BSI system under some
road, ground, lane marker, traffic or
weather conditions could lead to im-
proper system operation. Always rely on
your own operation to avoid accidents.
The BSI system helps alert the driver of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing
lanes, and helps assist the driver to return the
vehicle to the center of the traveling lane. The BSI system uses radar sensors
O1in-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other
vehicles in an adjacent lane. In addition to the
radar sensors, the BSI system uses a camera
O2installed behind the windshield to monitor
the lane markers of your traveling lane. The radar sensors can detect vehicles on ei-
ther side of your vehicle within the detection
zone shown as illustrated.
The detection zone starts from the outside
mirror of your vehicle and extends approxi-
mately 10ft (3.0m) behind the rear bumper,
and approximately 10ft (3.0 m) sideways.

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
1Side indicator light
2BSW indicator
3Blind Spot Intervention (BSI) indicator
4ProPILOT Assist switchThe BSI system operates above approxi-
mately 37 mph (60 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light (1)
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, the system
chimes (twice) and the side indicator light
flashes. The side indicator light continues to
flash until the detected vehicle leaves the
detection zone. The brightness of the side
indicator light is adjusted automatically de-
pending on the brightness of the ambient
light.
If the BSI system is ON and your vehicle
approaches a lane marker while another ve-
hicle is in the detection zone, the system
chimes (three times) and the side indicator
light flashes. The BSI system activates by
controlling the steering input of the vehicle
for a short period of time to help return the
vehicle back to the center of the driving lane.
The BSI system operates regardless of turn
signal usage.

Perform the following steps to enable or dis-
able the BSI system:
1. Press the
button until “Settings” dis-
plays in the vehicle information display.
Use the scroll dial to select “Driver Assis-
tance.” Then press the OK button.
2. Select “Blind Spot Assist” and press the OK button.
3. Select “Intervention” and use the OK but- ton to turn the system on or off.
4. Push the ProPILOT Assist switch to turn the system on or off.
NOTE:
Turning on the ProPILOT Assist system will
turn on the BSI and LDP system at the same
time. For additional information, see “ Lane
Departure Prevention (LDP)” (P. 5-43).
Turning the BSW system off will deactivate
the BSI system at the same time.
BSI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the BSI system. Failure to operate the ve-
hicle in accordance with these system limi-
tations could result in serious injury or
death.
• The BSI system cannot detect all vehicles
under all conditions.
• The radar sensors may not be able to de-
tect and activate BSI when certain ob-
jects are present such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, or animals.
– Vehicles such as motorcycles, low
height vehicles, or high ground clear-
ance vehicles.
– Vehicles remaining in the detection
zone when you accelerate from a
stop. For additional information, see
“BSI driving situations” (P. 5-66).
– Oncoming vehicles.
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind.
– A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly. –
A vehicle that passes through the de-
tection zone quickly.
• The radar sensors’ detection zone is de-
signed based on a standard lane width.
When driving in a wider lane, the radar
sensors may not detect vehicles in an ad-
jacent lane. When driving in a narrow
lane, the radar sensors may detect ve-
hicles driving two lanes away.
• The radar sensors are designed to ignore
most stationary objects; however, ob-
jects such as guardrails, walls, foliage
and parked vehicles may occasionally be
detected. This is a normal operation
condition.
• The following conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other ve-
hicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the vehicle
• Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material), install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.

Illustration 3: If the BSI system is on and your
vehicle approaches a lane marker while an-
other vehicle is in the detection zone, the
system chimes (three times) and the side in-
dicator light flashes. Then the BSI system
activates to help return the vehicle back to
the center of the driving lane.
NOTE:
•The radar sensors may not detect vehicles
which are approaching rapidly from behind.
• If the driver activates the turn signal be-fore a vehicle enters the detection zone,
the side indicator light will flash but no
chime will sound when the other vehicle is
detected.
Overtaking another vehicle
Illustration 4: The side indicator light illumi-
nates if you overtake a vehicle and that ve-
hicle stays in the detection zone for approxi-
mately 3 seconds.
