The BSW system uses radar sensorsAin-
stalled near the rear bumper to detect other
vehicles beside your vehicle in an adjacent
lane.The radar sensors can detect vehicles on ei-
ther side of your vehicle within the detection
zone shown as illustrated. This detection
zone starts from the outside mirror of your
vehicle and extends approximately 10 ft (3 m)
behind the rear bumper, and approximately
10 ft (3 m) sideways.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
1Side indicator light
2Steering wheel mounted controls
3Vehicle information display
AMENU bar
The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 MPH (30 km/h). When the BSW is
activated, the side indicator light illuminates
in yellow up to a speed of 20 MPH (30 km/h).
At speeds above 20 MPH (30 km/h), the indi-
cator light goes out and the BSW system is
operational.
Illustration 1:If the radar sensors detect a
vehicle in the detection zone, the BSW indi-
cator light
1located by the outside mirrors
illuminates.

5-38Starting and driving

Illustration 2:If the turn signal is then acti-
vated, the system chimes (twice) and the
BSW indicator light flashes. The BSW indica-
tor light continues to flash until the detected
vehicles leave the detection zone.
NOTE
•The BSW indicator lights illuminate for a
few seconds when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
•The brightness of the BSW indicator
lights is adjusted automatically depend-
ing 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 BSW indicator light flashes
and no chime sounds. (See "Another ve-
hicle approaching from behind" later in
this section.)
A chime sounds if the radar sensors have
already detected vehicles when the driver ac-
tivates the turn signal.
WARNING
•Do not use the BSW system when tow-
ing a trailer because the system may not
function properly.
•Excessive noise (for example audio sys-
tem volume, open vehicle window) will
interfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
•The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSW when certain
objects are present such as:
–Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
–Several types of vehicles such as mo-
torcycles
–Oncoming vehicles
–Vehicles remaining in the detection
zone when you accelerate from a
stop.–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.
•Severe weather or road spray conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles.
•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
adjacent 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 operating
condition.

BSW SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the BSW system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
•The BSW system cannot detect all ve-
hicles under all conditions.
•The radar sensors may not be able to
detect and activate BSW when certain
objects are present such as:
–Pedestrians, bicycles, or animals.

5-40Starting and driving

–Vehicles such as motorcycles, low
height vehicles, or high ground clear-
ance vehicles.
–Oncoming vehicles.
–Vehicles remaining in the detection
zone when you accelerate from a
stop.
–A vehicle merging into an adjacent
lane at a speed approximately the
same as your vehicle.
–A vehicle that is too close to your
vehicle.
–A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind.
–A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
•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
adjacent 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 operating
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.
•Do not use the BSW system when tow-
ing a trailer because the system may not
function properly.
•Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
•The BSW system may not provide a
warning for vehicles that pass through
the detection zone quickly.
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
Illustration 1: The BSW indicator light illumi-
nates if a vehicle enters the detection zone
from behind in an adjacent lane.
However, if the overtaking vehicle is travel-
ling much faster than your vehicle, the indica-
tor light may not illuminate before the de-
tected vehicle is beside your vehicle. 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.
