The BSW uses two sensors (A) located inside the rear bumper. The detection areas are
shown as illustrated.
WA R N I N GBefore using the BSW, read this entire sec- tion to fully understand the limitations ofthis system. Failure to follow instructions could result in an accident. Never rely solely on the BSW system when changing lanes. BSW is
an aid only. It is
not a substitute for your safe and carefuldriving. Always check
visually behind and
all around your vehicl
e for other vehicles.
The performance of
the BSW may vary
depending on driving,
traffic and/or road
conditions.
Detection areas

WA R N I N G In certain situations, the BSW may not detect a vehicle in the detection areas or the detection may be delayed. Some ofthese include;• When a small motorcycle or a bicycle isbehind your vehicle.• When a vehicle is
traveling alongside of
your vehicle at nearly
the same speed for
prolonged periods of time.
