When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
If a vehicle with the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is driven in a country other than
the U.S.A., Canada, or Mexico, the system has to be turned off by changing the setting on
the center display.
The system switches to the Rear Cross Trafc Alert function when the shift lever (manual
transaxle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle) is shifted to the reverse (R) position.
Refer to Rear Cross Trafc Alert (RCTA) on page 4-111.
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) Warning Indicator Lights/Display Indicator/
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) Warning Beep
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) or Rear Cross Trafc Alert (RCTA) system noties the
driver of the presence of vehicles in adjacent lanes or at the rear of the vehicle using the
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light, the warning sound and the display
indicator (vehicles with multi-information display and active driving display) while the
systems are operational.
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights are equipped on the left and
right door mirrors. The warning indicator lights turn on when a vehicle approaching from
the rear in an adjacent lane is detected.
When the ignition is switched ON, the warning indicator light turns on momentarily and
then turns off after a few seconds.
Forward driving (Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) operation)
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) detects vehicles approaching from the rear and turns on
the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator lights equipped on the door mirrors
according to the conditions. Additionally, while a Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning
indicator light is illuminated, if the turn signal lever is operated to signal a turn in the
direction in which the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light is illuminated,
the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light ashes.
