While driving, the Blind Spot Warning (BSW) sys-
tem helps alert the driver to the presence of other
vehicles in adjacent lanes.
The BSW system uses the rear view monitor cam-
era unit
j1.
WARNING
•
The BSW system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure and is not designed
to prevent contact with vehicles or objects.
When driving, always use the side and rear
mirrors and always turn your head and look in
the direction you will move to ensure it is safe
to change lanes. Never rely solely on the BSW
system.
•
The camera units may not function properly
under the following conditions:
– When towing a trailer.
– When strong light enters the camera unit.
(for example, light directly shines on the
front or rear of the vehicle at sunrise or
sunset.)
– When ambient brightness changes sud-
denly. (for example, when the vehicle en-
ters or exits a tunnel or passes under a
bridge.)
•
If the camera lens is excessively dirty, the au-
tomatic washer may not be able to completely
clean the lens. This could result in the camera
not detecting vehicles or lane markers.
•
Excessive noise (for example, audio system
volume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.

km/h (20 MPH).
