sides of the vehicle and warns the driver
about the possible presence of vehicles
in these areas.
While driving, the system monitors the
detection area from three different
points (side, rear and front) to check
whether an alert needs to be sent to the
driver. The system can detect the
presence of a vehicle in one of these
three areas.
Note:
The system does not alert the driver
for the presence of fixed object (e.g.
safety barriers, poles, walls, etc.).
However, in some circumstances, the
system may activate in the presence of
these objects. This is normal and does
not indicate a system malfunction.
The system does not alert the driver
about the presence of vehicles coming
from the opposite direction, in the
adjacent lanes.
Warning!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only an aid
to help detect objects in the blind spot zones.
The BSM system is not designed to detect
pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals. Even if your
vehicle is equipped with the BSM system,
always check your vehicle’s mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use your turn signal before
changing lanes. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
Rear View
The system detects vehicles coming from
the rear part of your vehicle on both sides
and entering the rear detection area with
a difference in speed of less than 31 mph
(50 km/h) with relation to your vehicle.
Overtaking Vehicles
If another vehicle is overtaken slowly,
with a difference in speed of less than
15 mph (25 km/h) and the vehicle stays in
the blind spot for approximately
1.5 seconds, the warning light on the door
mirror of the corresponding side
illuminates.
If the difference in speed between the
two vehicles is greater than 15 mph
(25 km/h), the warning light will not
illuminate.
Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP)
System
This system helps the driver during
reverse maneuvers in the case of reduced
visibility.
The RCP system monitors the rear
detection areas on both sides of the
vehicle to detect objects moving towards
the sides of the vehicle, with a minimum
speed between 1 mph (1 km/h) and
2 mph (3 km/h) and objects moving at a
maximum speed of 21 mph (35 km/h), in
areas such as parking lots.
The system activation is signaled to the
driver by an audible warning.
Note:
If the sensors are covered by objects
or vehicles, the system will not warn the
driver.
For the system to operate correctly,
the rear bumper area where the radar
sensors are located must stay free from
snow, ice and dirt gathered from the
road surface.
Do not cover the rear bumper area
where the radar sensors are located with
any object (e.g. adhesives, bike rack,
etc.).
Warning!
Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP) is not a
back up aid system. It is intended to be used
to help a driver detect an oncoming vehicle in
a parking lot situation. Drivers must be
careful when backing up, even when using
RCP. Always check carefully behind your
vehicle, look behind you, and be sure to check
for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, and blind spots before backing
up. Failure to do so can result in serious
injury or death.
