314 SAFETY
The BSM system can become blocked if snow, ice,
mud, or other road contaminations accumulate on
the rear fascia/bumper where the radar sensors
are located. The system may also detect a
blockage if the vehicle is operated in areas with
extremely low radar returns, such as a desert, or
parallel to a large elevation drop. If a blockage is
detected, a “Blind Spot Temporarily Unavailable,
Wipe Rear Corners” message will display in the
instrument cluster, both mirror lights will
illuminate, and BSM and RCP alerts will be
disabled. This is normal operation. The system will
automatically resume function when the condition
clears. To minimize system blockage, do not block
the area of the rear fascia/bumper where the
radar sensors are located with foreign objects
(bumper stickers, bicycle racks, etc.) and keep it
clear of road contaminations.
BSM Radar Location (Left Side Shown)
The BSM system notifies the driver of objects in the
detection zones by illuminating the BSM warning
light located in the outside mirrors in addition to
sounding an audible (chime) alert and reducing the
radio volume. See Ú page 316 for further
information.
Warning Light Location
The BSM system monitors the detection zone from
three different entry points (side, rear, front) while
driving to see if an alert is necessary. The BSM
system will issue an alert during these types of
zone entries.
Entering From The Side
Vehicles that move into your adjacent lanes from
either side of the vehicle.
