Starting and Driving
The BSA system monitors the detection
zone from three different entry points
(side, rear, overtaking traffic) while
driving to see if an alert is necessary.
The BSA system will issue an alert
whenever a vehicle enters any one
detection zone as outlined below.
Speed Range of Use
Speed MPH (km/h)
Minimum 6 (10)
Engaged/activated 6 (10)
Maximum –
Entering from the Side
Vehicles that move into your adjacent
lanes from either side of the vehicle.
Entering from the Rear
The alert will turn on when the
vehicles that come up from behind
your vehicle on either side and enter
the rear detection zone with a relative
speed of more than 27 MPH (43 km/h).
Overtaking Traffic
The figures show the vehicle
approaching (A) and passing (O)
another vehicle in the overtaking lane.
If you pass another vehicle slowly, the
vehicle remains in the blind spot for
approximately 2 seconds, the BSA
warning light in the outside mirror will
illuminate after 1.5 seconds.
If the difference in speed between the
two vehicles is greater, the warning
light will not illuminate.
Other Cases
The BSA system is not designed to
issue an alert on stationary objects
such as guardrails, posts, walls,
foliage heaps, berms, etc. However,
occasionally the system may alert on
such objects. This is normal operation
and your vehicle does not require
service.
