Auto-Dimming Mirror

• 

 Auto-dimming will automatically darken your rearview mirror 
to reduce headlight glare from vehicles behind you.

 Auto-dimming is activated every time the engine is started.

NOTE:

In addition to the auto-dimming mirror’s rear light sensor, there is also a front 

light sensor (not shown). Do not place or hang any objects over the front or rear mirror 

light sensors; otherwise, the auto-dimming mirror will not operate properly.

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 ensuring safe 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).

Turning BSM System Off

Turning the BSM system off will turn off both the light and sound 

indicators. To manually turn the BSM system off, push the BSM 

OFF switch on the dash. The BSM OFF indicator will illuminate 

in the instrument cluster when the BSM system is off. The BSM 

system will automatically turn on the next time the vehicle is started.

Detection Areas

BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SYSTEM

The Blind Spot Monitoring (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 beep 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.
