BLIND SPOT MONITOR
The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) system
monitors a zone that covers the area adjacent
to the vehicle, that is not easily visible by the
driver and is designed to identify any object
overtaking the vehicle. Th e system uses a radar
on each side of the vehicle to identify any
overtaking vehicl e/object within the blind spot
area of the vehicle, while disregarding other
objects which may be stati onary or travelling in
the opposite direction, etc.
The radar monitors the ar ea extending from the
exterior mirror rearwards, to approximately 7
metres (23 feet) behind the rear wheels, and up
to 2.5 metres (8.2 feet) from the side of the
vehicle (the wi dth of a typical carriageway
lane).
Note: This radar sensor is approved in all RTTE
countries.
Note: The system covers an area of a fixed lane
width. If the lanes are narrower than a typical
carriageway lane, objects travelling in
non-adjacent lanes may be detected.
BSM automatically switches on and becomes
active when the vehicle is travelling at greater
than 16 km/h (10 mph) in a forward drive gear.
When the system initiates, it performs a
self-check, during which the warning icons in
the mirrors illuminate alternately for a short
period of time.
WARNINGS
The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)
system is a supplement to, not a
replacement for, a safe driving style
and use of the exterior and rear-view mirrors.
It remains the driver's re sponsibility to detect
other vehicles, and their relative distance and
speed, when deciding whet her or not it is safe
to change lanes.
Please note that BSM may not be able
to give adequate wa rning of vehicles
approaching very quickly from behind
or vehicles that are be ing overtaken rapidly.
The radar sensors may be impaired
by rain, snow or road spray. This may
affect the sy stem's ability to reliably
detect a vehicle/object wi thin the blind spot. In
such conditions, take extra care when
changing lanes.
BSM may not be able to detect all
vehicles and may also detect objects,
such as roadside barriers, etc.
CAUTIONS
Ensure that the warning indicators in the
exterior mirrors are not obscured by
stickers or other objects.
Do not attach stickers or objects to the
rear bumpers, that may interfere with
the radar sensors.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The system provides a rear view image to
assist in reversing the vehicle.
The camera is positioned centrally and
unobtrusively, just above the rear license plate.
When reverse gear (R) is selected, the rear
view camera displays a wide-angle, colour view
from the rear of the vehicle, displayed on the
touch-screen. The camera display also incorporates graphic
overlays to aid the driver in assessing vehicle
direction, width and pr
oximity to surrounding
objects. These are detailed under Camera
overlays later in this section.
The camera display on the touch-screen has
priority over the parki ng aid display. To view
the parking aid display instead, touch the
touch-screen.
If a parking aid sensor is activated with the
camera in use, a corresponding red shaded
area will appear on the camera display to
identify which sensor has been activated.
To cancel the rear view camera display at any
time, touch the touch-screen.
The camera image will not be displayed when
any of the following apply:
• D is selected and the vehicle speed is
greater than 16 km/h (10 mph).
• D is selected for longer than 2 seconds and
the vehicle speed is less than 16 km/h
(10 mph).
WARNINGS
It remains the driver's responsibility
to detect obstacles and estimate the
vehicle's distance from them when
reversing. Some ov erhanging objects or
barriers, which could possibly cause damage
to the vehicle, may not be detected by the
camera.
Always be vigilant when reversing.

CAUTIONS
If, after the ignition has been switched
off, the steering wheel is turned, the
projected wheel trajecto ry graphics (A) will
display as being straight (as in the second

approximately 10 seconds.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Tyre markings
1.P indicates that the tyre is for passenger
vehicle use.
2. The width of the tyre fr om sidewall edge to
sidewall edge in millimetres.
3. The aspect ratio, also known as the profile,
gives the sidewall height as a percentage
of the tread width. So, if the tread width is
205 mm, and the aspect ratio is 50, the
sidewall height will be 102 mm.
4. R indicates that the ty re is of Radial ply
construction.
5. The diameter of the wheel rim given in
inches.
6. The load index for the tyre. This index is
not always shown.
7. The speed rating denotes the maximum
speed at which the tyre should be used for
extended periods. † 8.
Tyre manufacturing standard information,
which can be used for tyre recalls and
other checking processe s. Most of this
information relates to the manufacturer,
place of manufacture etc. The last four
numbers are the date of manufacture. For
example, if the number was 3106, the tyre
was made in the 31st week of 2006.
9. M+S or M/S indicates that the tyre has
been designed with some capability for
mud and snow.
10. The number of plies in both the tread area,
and the sidewall area, indicates how many
layers of rubber coat ed material make up
the structure of the tyre. Information is
also provided on the type of materials
used.
