When Driving

i-ACTIVSENSE



  The radar sensors (rear) of the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) may be regulated under 

the radio wave related laws of the country where the vehicle is driven. The sensors 

in this system are approved for use in the U.S.A. (including territories), Canada, and 

Mexico. If a vehicle with a Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) is driven in a country other 

than the U.S.A., Canada, or Mexico, the system has to be turned off using the Blind Spot 

Monitoring (BSM) OFF switch.



  The system switches to the Rear Cross Traffic Alert function when the selector lever is 

shifted to the reverse (R) position.

  Refer to Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) on page 

4-102.

Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) Warning Beep

The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) or Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system notifies the 

driver of the presence of vehicles in adjacent lanes or at the rear of the vehicle using the 

Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light, the warning sound and the display 

indicator (vehicles with multi-information display and active driving display) while the 

systems are operational.

Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights

The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights are equipped on the left and 

right door mirrors. The warning indicator lights turn on when a vehicle approaching from 

the rear in an adjacent lane is detected.

When the ignition is switched ON, the warning indicator light turns on momentarily and 

then turns off after a few seconds.
