SAFETY
AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) — If
Equipped
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system
uses two radar-based sensors, located inside
the taillights, to detect highway licensable
vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motorcycles,
etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the
rear/front/side of the vehicle.
Rear Detection Zones
When the vehicle is started, the BSM
warning l
ight will momentarily illuminate in
both outside rearview mirrors to let the driver
know that the system is operational. The
BSM system sensors operate when the
vehicle is in any forward gear or REVERSE
and enters stand-by mode when the vehicle
is in PARK.
The BSM detection zone covers approxi-
mately one lane width on both sides of the
vehicle 1
2 ft (3.8 m). The zone length starts
at the ou

approximately 10
ft (3 m) beyond the rear
bumper of
the vehicle. The BSM system
monitors the detection zones on both sides
of the vehicle when the vehicle speed
reaches approximately 6
mph (10 km/h) or
higher an
d will alert the driver of vehicles in
these areas.
The BSM system notifies the driver of
objects i
n the detection zones by illumi-
nating the BSM warning light located in the
o
utside m
irrors in addition to sounding an
audible (chime) alert and reducing the radio
volume.
Refer to “Modes Of Operation” in this
section f
