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).

Detection Areas

Turning BSM System Off:

To manually turn the BSM system off/on, push the BSM switch. The BSM 

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.

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.
