SAFETY 209
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 taillights, where the radar sensors are
locat
ed, must remain free of snow, ice, and dirt/road
contamination so that the BSM system can function properly.
Do not block the taillights where the radar sensors are
located with foreign objects (bumper stickers, bicycle racks,
etc.).
BSM Radar Location (Left Side Shown)
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. Refer to “Modes Of
Operation” in this chapter for further information.
Warning Light Location
The BSM system monitors the detection zone from three
diffe
rent 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.
