96 SAFETY
When the vehicle is started, the BSM warning
light will momentarily illuminate in both outside
rear view mirrors to let the driver know that the
system is operational. The BSM system sensors
operate when the vehicle is in any forward gear
or REVERSE and enters standby mode when the
vehicle is in PARK.
The BSM detection zone covers approximately
one lane width on both sides of the vehicle,
10 ft (3 m). The zone length starts at the
outside mirror and extends approximately 20 ft
(6 m) beyond the rear bumper of the vehicle.
The BSM system monitors the detection zones
on both sides of the vehicle when the vehicle
speed reaches approximately 6 mph (10 km/h)
or higher and will alert the driver of vehicles in
these areas.
NOTE:
The BSM system does NOT alert the driver
about rapidly approaching vehicles that are
outside the detection zones.
If a trailer is connected to the vehicle, it is
necessary to deactivate BSM system manually
by settings menu to avoid a misdetection.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia”
for further information.
The area on the rear fascia where the radar
sensors are located must remain free of snow,
ice, and dirt/road contamination so that the
BSM system can function properly. Do not block
the radar sensors located on the rear fascia
with foreign objects (bumper stickers, bicycle
racks, etc.).
Rear Sensor Locations
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
(whenever the turn signal is activated) and
reducing the radio volume. Refer to “Modes Of
Operation” in this section for further information.
BSM Warning Light
The BSM system monitors the detection zone
from three different entry points (side, rear,
front) while driving to see if an alert is neces-
sary. The BSM system will issue an alert during
these types of zone entries.
