Blind Spot Monitoring System
NOTE: Do not rely completely on the BSM system and be sure to look over 
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 ensuring safe 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   
6.2 mph (10 km/h).
Turning BSM System Off
Turning the BSM system off will turn off both the light and sound 
indicators. To manually turn the BSM system off, push the BSM 
OFF switch on the dash. The BSM OFF indicator will illuminate 
in the instrument cluster when the BSM system is off. The BSM 
system will retain the last setting before the ignition was turned off.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SYSTEM
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.
•    If your vehicle speed is about 6.2 mph (10 km/h) or more, the BSM 
will warn 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. 
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert
REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA) (if equipped)
The RCTA is designed to alert the driver of oncoming traffic when 
backing out of a parking spot. RCTA is active when your vehicle is in 
reverse and your vehicle speed is 0 to 8 mph (13 km/h).
When BSM sensors detect an object moving 3 to 18 mph (5 to 30 km/h), 
RCTA will notify the driver with indicators and sound:• Outside mirror flashing indications.
•  Beep sound (same as BSM).
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
Object Detected Object Detected
WARNING: RCTA is only a supplementary system to help aid when backing up , 
however R C TA  has limitations. The system does not detect all vehicles, especially 
a motorcycle . Do not rely solely on the R C TA . Relying solely on the R C TA may 
cause an unexpected accident resulting in serious injury.  Always back up slowly.
