Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)

The BSM is designed to assist the driver

in checking the area to the rear of the

vehicle on both sides during lane

changes by notifying the driver of the

presence of vehicles approaching from

the rear in an adjacent lane.

warning indicator light and displaying

the vehicle detection screen.

If the turn signal lever is operated to

signal a turn in the direction in which

the BSM warning indicator light is

illuminated while the approaching

vehicle is detected, the BSM noti
