tem may not detect other vehicles in

WARNING
• The warning light on the outside
rearview mirror will illuminate
whenever a vehicle is detected at
the rear side by the system.

only on the warning light and neg-
lect to see the surrounding of the
vehicle.
• Drive safely even though the vehi-
cle is equipped with a Blind Spot
Detection System (BSD) and Rear

solely rely on the system but check
your surrounding before changing
lanes or backing the vehicle up.
The system may not alert the driver
in some conditions so always
check your surroundings while
driving.

(BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) are not a substitute for
proper and safe driving practices.

tion when changing lanes or back-
ing up your vehicle. The Blind Spot
Detection System (BSD) may not
detect every object alongside the
vehicle.
