SAFETY
124
The area on the rear bumper where
the radar sensors are located must
remain free of snow, ice and dirt/road
contamination so that the BSA system
can function properly. Do not block the
area of the rear bumper where the radar
sensors are located with foreign objects
(bumper stickers, bicycle racks, etc.).
Sensors location (driver side)
112 5520531D
The BSA system will provide a visual
alert in the appropriate side door mirror
(fig. 113) based on a detected object. If
the direction indicator 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
direction indicator 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 Uconnect™ system (if on) will
also be muted.
113 5520447D
The BSA system monitors the detection
area from three different entry points
(side, rear, front) while driving to see if
an alert is necessary. The BSA system
will issue an alert during these types of
zone entries.
Side view (fig. 114)
Cars that move into your adjacent lanes

car on both sides and entering the rear

speed of less than approx. 48 km/h with
respect to your car.

Overtaking vehicles (fig. 116 - fig. 117)
If you pass another car slowly with a
relative speed less than 16 km/h and
the car remains in the blind spot for
approximately 1.5 seconds, the warning
light will be illuminated. If the difference
in speed between the two cars is greater
than 16 km/h, the warning light will not
illuminate.
