BLIND SPOT MONITORING
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located inside the rear
bumper fascia, to detect Highway licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motorcycles etc.) that
enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
The BSM detection zone covers approximately one lane width on both sides of the vehicle
12 ft (3.8 m). The zone length starts at the outside rear view mirror and extends approximately
10 ft (3 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.
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 stand by mode when the
vehicle is in PARK.
The BSM warning light, located in the outside mirrors, will illuminate if a vehicle moves into a
blind spot zone.
The BSM system can also be configured to sound an audible (chime) alert and mute the radio to
notify you of objects that have entered the detection zones.
Rear Cross Path (RCP)
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is intended to aid the driver when backing out of parking
spaces where the vision of oncoming vehicles may be blocked. Proceed slowly and cautiously out
of the parking space until the rear end of the vehicle is exposed. The RCP system will then have
a clear view of the cross traffic and if an oncoming vehicle is detected, will alert the driver. When
RCP is on and the vehicle is in REVERSE, the driver is alerted using both the visual and audible
alarms, including reducing the radio volume.
Refer to “Active Safety Features” in “Safety” in the Owner's Manual on the DVD for more
