WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the BSI
system could result in serious injury or
death.
.The BSI system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is
not designed to prevent contact
with vehicles or objects. When
changing lanes, always use the side
and rear mirrors and turn and look
in the direction your vehicle will
move to ensure it is safe to change
lanes. Never rely solely on the BSI
system.
. There is a limitation to the detection
capability of the radar. Not every
moving object or vehicle will be
detected. Using the BSI system
under some road, ground, lane mar-
ker, traffic or weather conditions
could lead to improper system op-
eration. Always rely on your own
operation to avoid accidents.
The BSI system helps alert the driver of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes when changing lanes and helps assist the driver to return the vehicle
to the center of the traveling lane.
.The radar sensors may not be able
to detect and activate BSI when
certain objects are present such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
— Vehicles such as motorcycles,
low height vehicles, or high
ground clearance vehicles.
— Vehicles remaining in the detec- tion zone when you accelerate
from a stop.
— Oncoming vehicles.
— A vehicle merging into an adja- cent lane at a speed approxi-
mately the same as your vehicle.
— A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
— A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly.
— A vehicle that passes through the detection zone quickly.
. The radar sensor’s detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect
vehicles in an adjacent lane. When
driving in a narrow lane, the radar sensors may detect vehicles driving
two lanes away.
. The radar sensors are designed to
ignore most stationary objects,
however objects such as guardrails,
walls, foliage and parked vehicles
may occasionally be detected. This
is a normal operation condition.
. The camera may not detect lane
markers in the following situations
and the BSI system may not operate
properly.
— On roads where there are multi-
ple parallel lane markers; lane
markers that are faded or not
painted clearly; yellow painted
lane markers; non-standard lane
markers; lane markers covered
with water, dirt, snow, etc.
— On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detect-
able.
— On roads where there are sharp curves.
— On roads where there are shar- ply contrasting objects, such as
shadows, snow, water, wheel
ruts, seams or lines remaining after road repairs.
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling di- rection does not align with the
lane markers.
— When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which
obstructs the lane camera unit
detection range.
— When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the windshield in front of a
lane camera unit.
— When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or
if aiming is not adjusted prop-
erly.
— When strong light enters a lane camera unit. (For example: light
directly shines on the front of
the vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)
— When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (For example:
when the vehicle enters or exits
a tunnel or under a bridge.)
