The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the
driver by monitoring the detection areas on both sides of the
vehicle to the rear. BSM will alert the driver to possible vehicles
in these areas in certain situations such as when changing lanes
on roads and freeways.
BSM Overview
ꢀDoꢀnotꢀrelyꢀcompletelyꢀonꢀtheꢀBSMꢀsystemꢀ
andꢀ beꢀ sureꢀ toꢀ lookꢀ overꢀ yourꢀ shoulderꢀ
beforeꢀchangingꢀlanes:
The BSM system monitors the detection areas on both sides of
the vehicle to the rear when vehicle speed is about 20 mph (32
km/h) or greater. The BSM system notifies the driver of vehicles
in the detection areas by illuminating the BSM warning light
located in the mirror. If the turn signal lever is operated in the
direction the BSM warning light is illuminated, the warning light
will flash and the system will
also warn the driver of the
vehicle in the detection area
with a beep sound.
