Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) Systemí
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver by monitoring
blind spots on both sides of the vehicle to the rear in certain situations such as when
changing lanes on roads and freeways or reversing the vehicle from a parking garage.
A system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-23.
Refer to Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System Warning Beep on page 7-41.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System consists of the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system. Always look over
your shoulder before changing lanes or reversing the vehicle from a parking garage:
The Blind Spot Monitoring (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.
