WARNING
■ Cautions regarding the use of the system
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a supplementary function which alerts the driver
that a vehicle is in a blind spot of the outside rear view mirr ors or is
approaching rapidly from behind into a blind spot. Do not overl y rely on the
Blind Spot Monitor.
As the function cannot judge if it is safe to change lanes, ove r reliance could
lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury. As the system may
not function correctly under certain conditions, the driver’s o wn visual confir-
mation of safety is necessary.
