*: If equipped
BSM (Blind Spot Moni-
tor)*
The Blind Spot Monitor is a
system that has 2 functions:
 The BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)
function
Assists the driver in making a
decision when changing lanes
 The RCTA (Rear Crossing
Traffic Alert) function
Assists the driver when backing
up
These functions use the same
sensors.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the BSM function
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, tak-ing care to observe your surround-
ings. The BSM function is a supplementary 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 BSM func- tion. As the function cannot judge if it is safe to change lanes, over reliance
could lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
As the system may not function cor-
rectly under certain conditions, the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
