BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (32 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, the
system chimes (twice) and the side indicator
light flashes. The side indicator light con-
tinues to flash until the detected vehicle
leaves the detection zone.
NOTE:
.The side indicator light illuminates for a
few seconds when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
. The brightness of the side indicator light
is adjusted automatically depending on
the brightness of the ambient light.
. If a vehicle comes into the detection zone
after the driver activates the turn
signal, then only the side indicator light
flashes and no chime sounds. For addi-
tional information, refer to “BSW sys-
tem limitations” (P.5-34).

Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the BSI
system could result in serious injury or
death.
.The BSI system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is
not designed to prevent contact with
vehicles or objects. When changing
lanes, always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the
direction your vehicle will move to
ensure it is safe to change lanes.
Never rely solely on the BSI system.
. There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar. Not every
moving object or vehicle will be
detected. Using the BSI system under
some road, ground, lane marker,
traffic or weather conditions could
lead to improper 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.
JVS1149X
The BSI system uses radar sensorsinstalled near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles in an adjacent lane. In addition
to the radar sensors, the BSI system uses a
camera
installed behind the windshield to
monitor the lane markers of your traveling
lane.
BLIND SPOT INTERVENTION®

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
The 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
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, the
system chimes (twice) and the side indicator
light flashes. The side indicator light con-
tinues to flash until the detected vehicle
leaves the detection zone.
If the BSI system is ON and your vehicle
approaches a lane marker while another
vehicle is in the detection zone, the system
chimes (three times) and the side indicator
light flashes. Then the BSI system slightly
applies the brakes to help return the vehicle
back to the center of the driving lane. The
BSI system operates regardless of turn
signal usage.
NOTE:
.Warning and system application of the
brakes will only be activated if the side
indicator light is already illuminated
when your vehicle approaches a lane
marker. If another vehicle comes into
the detection zone after your vehicle has
crossed a lane marker, no warning or
system application of the brakes will be
activated. (See “BSI driving situations” (P.5-45).)
. The BSI system is typically activated
earlier than the Lane Departure Preven-
tion (LDP) system when your vehicle is
approaching a lane marker.

BSI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the BSI system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations 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
detect and activate BSI when certain
objects are present such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
— Vehicles such as motorcycles, low height vehicles, or high ground
clearance vehicles.
— Vehicles remaining in the detec- tion zone when you accelerate

mately 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 detection zone quickly.
. The radar sensor’s detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect
vehicles in an adjacent lane. When
driving in a narrow lane, the radar
sensors may detect vehicles driving
two lanes away.
. The radar sensors are designed to
ignore most stationary objects, how-
ever objects such as guardrails, walls,
foliage and parked vehicles may oc-
casionally be detected. This is a
normal operation condition.
. The camera may not detect lane
markers in the following situations
and the BSI system may not operate
properly.
— On roads where there are multi- ple parallel lane markers; lane
markers that are faded or not
painted clearly; yellow painted
lane markers; non-standard lane
markers; lane markers covered
with water, dirt, snow, etc.
