Note:

 

Do not rely completely on the BSM system and be sure to look over your 

shoulder before changing lanes:

 

The BSM system can assist the driver in confirming 

the safety of the surroundings but is not a complete substitute. The driver is responsible 
for assuring lane changes and other maneuvers. Always pay attention to the direction in 
which the vehicle is traveling and the vehicle’s surroundings. The BSM system does not 
operate when the vehicle speed is lower than about 20 mph (32 km/h).

BLIND SPoT moNIToRING SYSTEm (BSm) 

The Blind Spot Monitoring or BSM system is designed to assist the driver 
by monitoring the blind spots to the rear of the vehicle on both sides.

  •   If your vehicle speed is 20 mph (32 km/h) or more, the BSM will warn 

you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the BSM warning 
lights located on the left and right door mirrors.

  •   If you operate a turn signal in the direction of an illuminated BSM 

warning light, the system will also warn you with a beeping sound and 
warning light flash.

  •   BSM sensors are located under the left and right rear bumper areas. 

The BSM system may not operate properly if the rear bumper gets too 
dirty, so keep the rear bumper area clean. 

 

Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
