SAFETY
The area on the taillights, where the radar
sensors are located, must remain free of snow,
ice, and dirt/road contamination so that the
BSM system can function properly. Do not block
the taillights where the radar sensors are
located with foreign objects (brush guards,
bumper stickers, bicycle racks, etc.).
BSM Radar Location (Left Side Shown)
The BSM system notifies the driver of objects in
the detection zones by illuminating the BSM
warning light located in the outside mirrors in
addition to sounding an audible (chime) alert
and reducing the radio volume. See
page 332 for further information.
Warning Light Location
The BSM system monitors the detection zone
from three different entry points (side, rear,
front) while driving to see if an alert is
necessary. The BSM system will issue an alert
during these types of zone entries.
Entering From The Side
Vehicles that move into your adjacent lanes
from either side of the vehicle.
Side Monitoring
Entering From The Rear
Vehicles that come up from behind your vehicle
on either side and enter the rear detection zone
with a relative speed of less than 30 mph
(48 km/h).
