When there is a difference in the height between your driving lane and the adjacent
lane.

Directly after the BSM system becomes operable by changing the setting.

If the road width is extremely narrow, vehicles 2 lanes over may be detected. The detection
area of the radar sensors (rear) is set according to the road width of expressways.

The BSM warning indicator light may turn on and the vehicle detection screen may be
displayed in the display in reaction to stationary objects (guardrails, tunnels, sidewalls,
and parked vehicles) on the road or the roadside.

A BSM warning indicator light may flash or the warning beep and the warning screen
indicator display may be activated several times when making a turn at a city
intersection.

Turn off the BSM while pulling a trailer or while an accessory such as a bicycle carrier is
installed to the rear of the vehicle. Otherwise, the radar’s radio waves will be blocked
causing the system to not operate normally.

In the following cases, it may be difficult to view the illumination/flashing of the BSM
warning indicator lights equipped on the door mirrors.

Snow or ice is adhering to the door mirrors.

The front door glass is fogged or covered in snow, frost or dirt.

The radar sensors (rear) of the 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 BSM is
driven in a country other than the U.S.A., Canada, or Mexico, authorization from the
country where the vehicle is driven might be required.

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 4-139.
