– A vehicle approaching rapidly from

behind. (See “BSW driving situa-
tions” later in this section)

– A vehicle which your vehicle over-

takes rapidly. (See “BSW driving
situations” later in this section)

– A vehicle that merges or changes

lanes rapidly directly next to your
vehicle.

The camera unit may not be able to

detect property when your vehicle trav-
els beside the middle section of a ve-
hicle with long wheelbase (e.g. trailer
truck, semi-trailer, tractor).

The camera detection zone is designed

based on a standard lane width. When
driving in a wider lane, the camera unit
may not detect vehicles in an adjacent
lane. When driving in a narrow lane, the
camera unit may detect vehicles driving
two lanes away.

The camera unit is designed to ignore

most stationary objects, however ob-
jects such as guardrails, walls, foliage
and parked vehicles may occasionally
be detected. This is a normal operating
condition.

The camera unit may detect the re-

flected image of vehicles or roadside
objects that are not actually in the de-
tection zone, especially when the road
is wet.

BSW DRIVING SITUATIONS

Another vehicle approaching from
behind

The Blind spot indicator light illuminates if a ve-
hicle enters the detection zone from behind in an
adjacent lane.

However, if the overtaking vehicle is traveling
much faster than your vehicle, the indicator light
may not illuminate before the detected vehicle is
beside your vehicle. Always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the direction your
vehicle will move to ensure it is safe to change
lanes.
