your shoulder before changing lanes:
• The BSM system can assist the driver in confirming the safety of the surroundings,
but is not a complete substitute.
• The driver is responsible for assuring lane changes and other maneuvers.
• Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling and the
vehicle’s surroundings.
• The BSM system does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than about
20 mph (32 km/h).

The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver
by monitoring the blind spots to the rear of the vehicle on both sides.

you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the BSM warning
lights located on the left and right door mirrors.
•
If you operate a turn signal in the direction of an illuminated BSM
warning light, the system will also warn you with a beep and warning
light flash.

BSM sensors are located under the left and right rear bumper areas.
The BSM system may not operate properly if the rear bumper gets too
dirty, so keep the rear bumper area clean.

Manual Climate Control

NOTE: Applies to Manual and Automatic Climate Control Systems: With
any type of defroster operation (even in the FLOOR mode where some air goes to
defrost to keep the windows defrosted), the system turns on the A /C compressor
and selects the FRESH AIR mode. This helps defrost the windows more efficiently
by dehumidifying the air. The A /C compressor will always be on in defroster mode,
but the defroster (and floor) will deliver warm air when the temperature dial is set to
a warmer temperature and the engine warms up.
