the vehicle and provides information
to the driver with an audible alert and
a indicator on the outside rearview
mirrors. (1) Blind spot area
The BCW range varies relative tovehicle speed. Note that if your
vehicle is traveling much faster
than the vehicles around you, the
warning will not occur.

detects a vehicle is approaching
in an adjacent lane at a high rate
of speed. If the driver activates
