274 SAFETY
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system may
experience dropouts (blinking on and off) of
the side mirror Warning Indicator lamps when
a motorcycle or any small object remains at
the side of the vehicle for extended periods of
time (more than a couple of seconds).
The area on the rear bumper/fascia where the
radar sensors are located must remain free of
snow, ice, and dirt/road contamination so that
the BSM system can function properly. Do not
block the area of the rear bumper/fascia where
the radar sensors are located with foreign
objects (bumper stickers, bicycle racks, etc.).
Sensor Location
The BSM system will provide a visual alert in the
appropriate side view mirror based on a
detected object. 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. Whenever a turn signal and
detected object are present on the same side at
the same time, both the visual and audio alerts
will be issued. In addition to the audible alert
the radio (if on) will also be muted.
Warning Light Location
The BSM system monitors the detection zone
from three different entry points (side, rear, front)
while driving 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.
