When the BSD cancelled warning
message is displayed in the cluster,
check to make sure that the rear
bumper is free from any dir t or snow
in the areas where the sensor is
located. Remove any dirt, snow, or
foreign material that could interfere
with the radar sensors.
After any dirt or debris is removed,
the BSD system should operate nor-
