1. Side BSW/RCTA Indicator Light
2. BSW/RCTA Indicator
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approximately
20 mph (32 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the detec-
tion zone, the side BSW/RCTA indicator light
1
illuminates. If the turn signal is then activated, the
system chimes (twice) and the side BSW/RCTA
indicator light flashes. The BSW indicator light
continues to flash until the detected vehicle
leaves the detection zone.
The side BSW/RCTA indicator light illuminates
for a few seconds when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
The brightness of the side BSW/RCTA 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 BSW/RCTA indicator light flashes and no
chime sounds. For additional information, refer to
“BSW driving situations” in this section.

●The radar sensors are designed to
ignore most stationary objects, how-
ever objects 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
vehicles:
– 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.
● Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound, and
it may not be heard.

NOTE:
● The radar sensors may not detect vehicles
which are approaching rapidly from behind.
● If the driver activates the turn signal before 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

stays in the detection zone for approximately
2 seconds. Illustration 4:
If the driver activates the turn
signal while another vehicle is in the detection
zone, then the system chimes (twice) and the
side indicator light flashes.
NOTE:
● When overtaking several vehicles in a row,
the vehicles after the first vehicle may not be
detected if they are traveling close together.
● The radar sensors may not detect slower
moving vehicles if they are passed quickly.

The radar sensors may not detect a vehicle
which is traveling at about the same speed as
your vehicle when it enters the detection zone.

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, al-
ways 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
capability of the radar or the sonar. 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 im-
proper system operation. Always rely
on your own operation to avoid
accidents.
● The BSI system operates above ap-
proximately 37 mph (60 km/h).
The BSI system can help alert the driver of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes. The BSI system uses a camera
1installed be-
hind the windshield to monitor the lane markers of
your traveling lane and radar sensors
2installed
near the rear bumper to detect other vehicles in
an adjacent lane.
The BSI system operates above approximately
37 mph (60 km/h). If the system detects a vehicle
in the detection zone and your vehicle is ap-
proaching the lane marker, the BSI system pro-
vides an audible warning (three times) , flashes
the BSW indicator light and slightly applies the
brakes for a short period of time on one side to
help return the vehicle back to the traveling lane.
The BSI system provides an audible warning and
turns on or flashes the BSW indicator light even if
the BSW system is off.

BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the detec-
tion zone, the BSW indicator light located near
the outside mirrors illuminates. If your vehicle is
approaching a lane marker, the system chimes a
sound (three times) and the BSW indicator light
flashes. Then the system applies the brakes on
one side of the vehicle for a moment to help return
the vehicle back to the center of the lane. BSI
operates regardless of turn signal usage.
NOTE:
Warning and brake control will only be ac-
tivated if the BSW 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 brake
control will be activated. For additional in-
formation, refer to “BSI driving situations”
in this section. The BSI system is typically
activated earlier than the Lane Departure
Prevention (LDP) system when your vehicle
is approaching a lane marker.
The BSI system turns on when the dynamic driver
assistance switch on the steering wheel is
pushed when the “Blind Spot Intervention®” is
enabled in the “Driver Assistance” menu on the
vehicle information display. The BSI ON indicatorlight on the instrument panel illuminates when the
BSI system is turned on.
The BSI system provides a chime and turns on or
flashes the BSW indicator light even if the BSW
system is off.
5-48Starting and driving

– When rain, snow or dirt adheres tothe windshield in front of a lane cam-
era unit.
– When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if aiming is
not adjusted properly.
– When strong light enters a lane cam- era unit. (For example: light directly
shines on the front of the vehicle at
sunrise or sunset.)
– When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (For example: when the ve-
hicle enters or exits a tunnel or under
a bridge.)
● Do not use the BSI system under the
following conditions because the sys-
tem may not function properly.
– During bad weather (For example: rain, fog, snow, etc.)
– When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.
– When driving on winding or uneven roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshift lane. – When driving on roads where the
lane width is too narrow.
– When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire conditions (e.g.
tire wear, low tire pressure, installa-
tion of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels) .
– When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
● Do not use the BSI systems when tow-
ing a trailer.
● Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may
not be heard.
BSI DRIVING SITUATIONS
Another vehicle approaching from
behind
Illustration 1: The Blind Spot Warning indicator
light illuminates if a vehicle enters the detection
zone from behind in an adjacent lane.
However, if the overtaking vehicle is traveling
much faster than your vehicle, the indicator light
may not illuminate before the detected 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.

Illustration 2: If the driver activates the turn signal
then the system chimes a sound (twice) and the
Blind Spot Warning indicator light flashes.
NOTE:
If the driver activates the turn signal before
a vehicle enters the detection zone, the
BSW indicator light will flash but no chime
will sound when the other vehicle is de-
tected.Illustration 3: If the BSI system is on and your
vehicle is approaching a lane marker and a ve-
hicle is in the detection zone, the system chimes
a sound (three times) , and the BSW indicator
light flashes. Then the BSI system slightly applies
the brakes on one side to help return the vehicle
back to the center of the driving lane.
NOTE:
Illustration 4: If you accelerate from a stop
with a vehicle in the detection zone, the
other vehicle may not be detected.
