184 SAFETY
the vehicle when the vehicle speed reaches approximately
6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and will alert the driver of vehi-
cles in these areas.
NOTE:
• The BSM system does NOT alert the driver about rapidly
approaching vehicles that are outside the detection zones.
• The BSM system detection zone does NOT change if your
vehicle is towing a trailer. Therefore, visually verify the
adjacent lane is clear for both your vehicle and trailer
before making a lane change. If the trailer or other object
(i.e., bicycle, sports equipment) extends beyond the side of
your vehicle, this may result in the BSM warning light
remaining illuminated the entire time the vehicle is in a
forward gear.
• The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system may experience
drop outs (blinking on and off) of the side mirror Warning
Indicator lamps when a motorcycle or any small object
remains at the side of the vehicle for extended periods of
time (more than a couple of seconds).
The area on the rear fascia where the radar sensors are
located must remain free of snow, ice, and dirt/road contam-
ination so that the BSM system can function properly. Do not
block the area of the rear fascia where the radar sensors are
located with foreign objects (bumper stickers, bicycle racks,
etc.).
Sensor Location
The BSM system will provide a visual alert in the appro-
priate side view mirror based on a detected object. If the turn
signal is then activated, and it corresponds to an alert present
on that side of the vehicle, an audible chime will also be
sounded. Whenever a turn signal and detected object are
present on the same side at the same time, both the visual
and audio alerts will be issued. In addition to the audible
alert the radio (if on) will also be muted.
