Blind spot monitoring BLIND SPOT MONITOR
The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) system is a
supplement to, not a replacement for, a safe
driving style and use of the exterior and
rear-view mirrors. The system may not
function under all speeds, weather and road
conditions.
Please note that BSM may not be able to give
adequate warning of vehicles approaching
very quickly from behind or vehicles that are
being overtaken rapidly.
BSM may not be able to detect all vehicles
and may also detect objects, such as
roadside barriers, etc. Drive safely at all
times and use the exterior and rear view
mirrors to avoid accidents.
The radar sensors may be impaired by rain,
snow or road spray. This may affect the
system's ability to reliably detect a
vehicle/object within the blind spot.
The driver should not assume that the BSM
will correct errors of judgement in driving.
Do not attach stickers or objects to the rear
bumpers, that may interfere with the radar
sensors.
Note: Ensure that the warning indicators in the
exterior mirrors are not obscured by stickers or
other objects.
The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) system
monitors a zone that covers the area adjacent
to the vehicle, that is not easily visible by the driver and is designed to identify any object
overtaking the vehicle (3).
