Activation / Deactivation
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system will
op
erate when all of the following conditions
are met:
The ignition is ON.
The BSM switch is pushed and the
warning light in the instrument cluster is
turned off.
The vehicle speed is 19 mph (30 km/h) or
faster.
The BSM system will not operate under the
fo
llowing conditions:
The vehicle speed falls below about
15 mph (25 km/h) even though the
wa
rning light is turned off.
The gear selector is shifted to REVERSE
(R).
In the following cases, the warning light in
th
e instrument cluster illuminates and oper-
ation of the BSM system is deactivated.
A problem with the system (including the
BSM warning lights) is detected.
A large change in position of a rear radar
sensor on the vehicle has occurred.
There is a large accumulation of snow or
ice on the rear bumper near a rear radar
sensor. Remove any snow, ice or mud on
the rear bumper.
Driving on snow covered roads for long
periods.
The temperature near the rear radar
sensors becomes extremely hot due to
driving for long periods on inclines during
warm weather.
The battery voltage has decreased.
If the warning light in the instrument cluster
re
mains illuminated, have the vehicle
inspected at an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
NOTE:
Under the following conditions, the rear
ra
dar sensors cannot detect objects, or it
may be difficult to detect them:
A vehicle is in the detection area at the
rear in an adjacent driving lane but it does
not approach. The BSM system deter
-
mines the condition based on radar detec-
tion data.
A vehicle is traveling alongside your
vehicle at nearly the same speed for an
extended period of time.
Vehicles approaching in the opposite
direction.
A vehicle in an adjacent driving lane is
attempting to pass your vehicle.
A vehicle is in an adjacent lane on a road
with extremely wide driving lanes. The
detection area of the rear radar sensors is
set at the road width of expressways.
In the following cases, the activation of the
BS
M warning lights and the audible alert
may not occur, or they may be delayed:
A vehicle makes a lane change from a
driving lane two lanes over to an adjacent
lane
Driving on steep inclines
Crossing the summit of a hill or mountain
pass
The turning radius is small (making a
sharp turn or turning at intersections)
When there is a difference in the height
between your driving lane and the adja-
cent lane
