BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)
The Blind Spot Monitor is a system
that uses rear side radar sensors
installed on the inner side of the
rear bumper on the left and right
side to assist the driver in confirm-
ing safety when changing lanes.
WARNING
■ Cautions regarding the use of the
system
● The driver is solely responsible for safe
driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
● The Blind Spot Monitor is a supple-
mentary function which alerts the
driver that a vehicle is in a blind spot of
the outside rear view mirrors or is
approaching rapidly from behind into
a blind spot. Do not overly rely on the
Blind Spot Monitor. As the function
cannot judge if it is safe to change
lanes, over reliance could lead to an
accident resulting in death or serious
injury. As the system may not function
correctly under certain conditions, the
driver’s own visual confirmation of
safety is necessary.
