BSM (Blind Spot Moni-
tor)*
The Blind Spot Monitor is a 
system that uses rear side 
radar sensors installed on 
the inner side of the rear 
bumper on the left and right 
side to assist the driver in 
confirming safety when 
changing lanes.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of 
the system
The driver is solely responsible for 
safe  driving. A lways drive safely, 
taking care to observe your sur-
roundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-
plementary function which alerts 
the driver that a vehicle is in a 
blind spot of the outside rear view 
mirrors or is approaching rapidly 
from behind into a blind spot. Do 
not overly rely on the Blind Spot 
Monitor. As the function cannot 
judge if it is safe to change lanes, 
over reliance could lead to an 
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
As the system may not function 
correctly under certain condi-
tions, the driver’s own visual con-
firmation of safety is necessary.
