The area on the rear fascia/bumper where the radar
sensors are located must remain free of snow, ice, and
dirt/road contaminants so the BSM system can func-
tion properly. Do not block the area of the rear fascia/
bumper where the radar sensors are located with for-
eign objects (bumper stickers, bicycle racks, etc.).
If the system detects degraded performance due to
contaminants or foreign objects, a message will warn
you of a blocked sensor and the warning indicators in
side view mirrors will be on. The warning indicators will
remain illuminated until blockage clearing conditions
are met. First clear the fascia/bumper area around the
sensors of the blockage. After removing the blockage,
cycle the ignition from on to off and then back on again
to reset the system.
If the blockage message is still present after cycling the
ignition and driving in traffic, check again for a
blockage.
The BSM system notifies the driver of objects in the
detection zones by illuminating the BSM Warning Light
located in the outside mirrors in addition to sounding
an audible (chime) alert and reducing the radio volume
page 202.
The BSM system monitors the detection zone from
three different entry points (side, rear, front) while driv-
ing to see if an alert is necessary. The BSM system will
issue an alert during these types of zone entries.
Entering From The Side
Vehicles that move into your adjacent lanes from either
side of the vehicle.
Entering From The Rear
Vehicles that come up from behind your vehicle on
either side and enter the rear detection zone with a
relative speed of less than 30 mph (48 km/h).
