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 BSM function is a supplementary function which alerts the driver that a
vehicle is present in the blind spot. Do not overly rely on the BSM function.
The function cannot judge if it is safe to change lanes, theref ore over reli-
ance could cause an accident resulting in death or serious inju r y.
According to conditions, the system may not function correctly. Therefore
the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.

Buzzer operation and
distance to an object
A buzzer sounds when the sensors are operating.
● The buzzer sounds faster as the vehicle approaches an object.
When the vehicle comes within the following distance of the
object, the buzzer sounds continuo usly: Approximately 1.0 ft. (30
cm).
● When 2 or more objects are detec ted simultaneously, the buzzer
system responds to the nearest object. If one or both come with in
the above distances, the beep will repeat a long tone, followed by
fast beeps.
● Automatic buzzer mute function
After a buzzer begins sounding, if the distance between the veh i-
cle and the detected object does not become shorter, the buzzer
will be muted automatically.
(However, if the distance between the vehicle and object is 1.0 ft.
(30 cm) or less, this function will not operate.)
Approximately 3.3 ft. (100 cm)
Approximately 4.9 ft. (150 cm)
Approximately 2.0 ft. (60 cm)
The diagram shows the detection
range of the sensors. Note that the
sensors cannot detect objects that
are extremely close to the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may
change depending on the shape of
the object, etc.

Objects which the system may not be properly detected
The shape of the object may prevent the sensor from detecting it. Pay partic-
ular attention to the following objects:
●Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
● Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
● Sharply-angled objects
● Low objects
● Tall objects with upper sections projecting outwards in the dir ection of your
vehicle
■ Situations in which the syst em may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect objects. Particular instances where this
may occur are listed below.
● There is dirt, snow, water drops or ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors
will resolve this problem.)
● A sensor is frozen. (Thawing t he area will resolve this problem .)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the sensor di splay may be
displayed abnormally, or objects, such as a wall, may not be detected.
● On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
● When vehicle horns, vehicle detectors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of
large vehicles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other devices which
produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle
● A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
● If objects draw too close to the sensor.
● When a pedestrian is wearing clothing that does not reflect ult rasonic waves
(ex. skirts with gathers or frills).
● When objects that are not perpendicular to the ground, not perpendicular to
the vehicle traveling direction, uneven, or waving are in the d etection range.
● Strong wind is blowing
● When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandst orm
● When an object that cannot be detected is between the vehicle a nd a
detected object
● If an object such as a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in front
of the vehicle or runs out from the side of the vehicle
●
When a sensor or the area around a
sensor is extremely hot or cold.
