The radar sensors can detect vehicles on either
side of your vehicle within the detection zone
shown as illustrated. This detection zone starts
from the outside mirror of your vehicle and ex-
tends approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear
bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m) side-
ways.

The BSW system operates above approximately
20 MPH (32 km/h). If the radar sensors detect
vehicles in the detection zone, the Blind Spot
Warning indicator light illuminates. If the driver
then activates the turn signal, a chime will sound
twice and the Blind Spot Warning indicator light
will flash.

BSW SYSTEM OPERATION

If the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the detec-
tion zone, the Blind Spot Warning (BSW) indica-
tor light located by the outside mirrors illumi-
nates. If the turn signal is then activated, the
system chimes (twice) and the BSW indicator
light flashes. The BSW indicator light continues
to flash until the detected vehicles leave the
detection zone.

The BSW indicator light illuminates for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position.

The brightness of the BSW indicator light is
adjusted automatically depending on the bright-
ness of the ambient light.

A chime sounds if the radar sensors have already
detected vehicles when the driver activates the
turn signal. If a vehicle comes into the detection
zone after the driver activates the turn signal, then
only the BSW indicator light flashes and no
chime sounds. For additional information, refer to
“BSW driving situations” in this section.

The BSW system automatically turns on every
time the engine is started, as long as it is acti-
vated using the settings menu on the vehicle
information display.
