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. Always drive safely, tak-
ing care to observe your surround- ings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a supple-
mentary 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 serious injury.
As the system may not function cor-
rectly under certain conditions, the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.

mended that the air intake mode be set to outside air mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●Setting to the recirculated air mode
temporarily is recommended in pre- venting dirty air from entering the vehicle interior and helping to cool the
vehicle when the outside air tempera- ture is high.
●During cooling operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively.

WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use the windshield defogger
switch during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The differ-ence between the temperature of the
outside air and that of the windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your
vision.
■When the outside rear view mir-
ror defoggers are operating (if equipped)
Do not touch the outside rear view
mirror surfaces, as they can become very hot and burn you.
