Radar Sensors Location
The BSM system will provide a visual alert in the
appropriate side view mirr
or based on a detected object
when enabled. If the turn signal is then activated, and
it corresponds to an alert present on that side of the
vehicle, an audible chime will also be sounded when
chimes are enabled. In addition to the audible alert the
radio (if on) will also be muted during the chime event
