5-54Starting and driving

The BSW system operates above approxi-
mately 20 mph (32km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side BSW/RCTA indica-
tor light (1) illuminates. If the turn signal is
then activated, the system chimes (twice)
and the side BSW/RCTA indicator light
flashes. The side BSW/RCTA indicator light
continues to flash until the detected ve-
hicles leaves the detection zone.
The side BSW/RCTA indicator light illumi-
nates for a few seconds when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position.
The brightness of the side BSW/RCTA indi-
cator light is adjusted automatically de-
pending on the brightness of the ambient
light.

Another vehicle approaching
from behind
Illustration 1:The side BSW/RCTA indicator
light illuminates if a vehicle enters the de-
tection zone from behind in an adjacent
lane.
NOTE:
• The radar sensors may not detect ve- hicles which are approaching rapidly
from behind.
Illustration 2:If the driver activates the
turn signal when another vehicle is in the
detection zone, then the system chimes
(twice) and the side BSW/RCTA indicator
light flashes.
NOTE:
• The radar sensors may not detect ve- hicles which are approaching rapidly
from behind. • If the driver activates the turn signal
before a vehicle enters the detection
zone, the side BSW/RCTA indicator
light will flash but no chime will sound
when the other vehicle is detected.

Overtaking another vehicle
Illustration 3:The side BSW/RCTA indica-
tor light illuminates if you overtake a ve-
hicle and that vehicle stays in the detection
zone for approximately 2 seconds. Illustration 4:
If the driver activates the
turn signal while another vehicle is in the
detection zone, then the system chimes
(twice) and the side BSW/RCTA indicator
light flashes.
NOTE:
• When overtaking several vehicles in a row, the vehicles af ter the first vehicle
may not be detected if they are travel-
ing close together. • The radar sensors may not detect
slower moving vehicles if they are
passed quickly.
• If the driver activates the turn signal before a vehicle enters the detection
zone, the side BSW/RCTA indicator
light will flash but no chime will sound
when the other vehicle is detected.

Entering from the side
Illustration 5:The side BSW/RCTA indicator
light illuminates if a vehicle enters the de-
tection zone from either side. Illustration 6:
If the driver activates the
turn signal while another vehicle is in the
detection zone, then the system chimes
(twice) and the side BSW/RCTA indicator
light flashes.
NOTE:
• If the driver activates the turn signal before a vehicle enters the detection
zone, the side BSW/RCTA indicator
light will flash but no chime will sound
when the other vehicle is detected. • The radar sensors may not detect a ve-
hicle which is traveling at about the
same speed as your vehicle when it en-
ters the detection zone.

I-BSI SYSTEM OPERATION
1Side indicator light
2BSW indicator
3Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention (I-BSI)
indicator
4ProPILOT Assist switch
The I-BSI system operates above approxi-
mately 37 mph (60 km/h).
If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone, the side indicator light (1)
illuminates.
If the turn signal is then activated, the sys-
tem chimes (twice) and the side indicator
light flashes. The side indicator light contin-
ues to flash until the detected vehicle
leaves the detection zone. The brightness
of the side indicator light is adjusted auto-
matically depending on the brightness of
the ambient light.
If the I-BSI system is ON and your vehicle
approaches a lane marker while another
vehicle is in the detection zone, the system
chimes (three times) and the side indicator
light flashes. The I-BSI system activates by
controlling the steering input of the vehicle
for a short period of time to help return the
vehicle back to the center of the driving
lane. The I-BSI system operates regardless
of turn signal usage.

5-66Starting and driving

NOTE:
• I-BSI warning and system applicationwill only be activated if the side indica-
tor light is already illuminated when
your vehicle approaches a lane marker.
If another vehicle comes into the de-
tection zone af ter your vehicle has
crossed a lane marker, no I-BSI
warning or system application will be
activated. For additional information,
see “I-BSI driving situations” (P. 5-71).
• The I-BSI system is typically activated prior to the Intelligent Lane Interven-
tion (I-LI) system when your vehicle is
approaching a lane marker.
To turn on the I-BSI system, push the ProPI-
LOT Assist switch on the steering wheel
af ter starting the engine. The I-BSI indica-
tor will illuminate. Push the ProPILOT Assist
switch again to turn off the I-BSI system.
The I-BSI indicator will turn off.

–A vehicle which your vehicle over-
takes rapidly.
– A vehicle that passes through the
detection zone quickly.
• The radar sensors’ detection zone is
designed based on a standard lane
width. When driving in a wider lane,
the radar sensors may not detect ve-
hicles in an adjacent lane. When driv-
ing in a narrow lane, the radar sen-
sors may detect vehicles driving two
lanes away.
• The radar sensors are designed to ig-
nore most stationary objects; how-
ever, objects such as guardrails,
walls, foliage and parked vehicles
may occasionally be detected. This is
a normal operation condition.
• The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the
vehicle •
Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install acces-
sories or apply additional paint near
the radar sensors. These conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles.
• The camera may not detect lane
markers in the following situations
and the I-BSI system may not oper-
ate properly.
– On roads where there are multiple
parallel lane markers; lane mark-
ers that are faded or not painted
clearly; yellow painted lane mark-
ers; non-standard lane markers;
lane markers covered with water,
dirt, snow, etc.
– On roads where discontinued lane
markers are still detectable.
– On roads where there are sharp
curves.
– On roads where there are sharply
contrasting objects, such as shad-
ows, snow, water, wheel ruts,
seams or lines remaining af ter
road repairs.
– On roads where the traveling lane
merges or separates. –
When the vehicle’s traveling direc-
tion does not align with the lane
markers.
– When traveling close to the ve-
hicle in front of you, which ob-
structs the lane camera unit de-
tection 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 properly.
– 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 bright-
ness occurs. (For example: when
the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel
or under a bridge.)
• Do not use the I-BSI system under the
following conditions because the
system may not function properly.
– During bad weather (for example:
rain, fog, snow, etc.).
– When driving on slippery roads,
such as on ice or snow, etc.
5-70Starting and driving

–When driving on winding or un-
even roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshif t or
temporary lane.
– When driving on roads where the
lane width is too narrow.
– When driving with a tire that is not
within normal tire conditions (e.g.,
tire wear, low tire pressure, instal-
lation of spare tire, tire chains,
nonstandard wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with
non-original brake parts or sus-
pension parts.
– When towing a trailer or other
vehicle.
• Excessive noise (e.g., audio system
volume, open vehicle window) will in-
terfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.I-BSI DRIVING SITUATIONS

lane.
NOTE:
• The radar sensors may not detect ve-
hicles which are approaching rapidly

• If the driver activates the turn signal before a vehicle enters the detection
zone, the side indicator light will flash
