Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
The BSM is designed to assist the driver in
checking the area to the rear of the vehicle
on both sides during lane changes by
notifying the driver of the presence of
vehicles approaching from the rear in an
adjacent lane.
BSM operation
The BSM detects vehicles approaching
from the rear while travelling in the
forward direction at a speed of 10 km/h
(6.3 mph) or faster and notifies the driver
by turning on the BSM warning indicator
light and displaying the vehicle detection
screen.
If the direction indicator lever is operated
to signal a turn in the direction in which
the BSM warning indicator light is
illuminated while the approaching vehicle
is detected, the BSM notifies the driver of
possible danger flashing on the BSM
warning indicator light, and by activating
the warning sound and the warning screen
indicator display.
The detection area on this system covers
the driving lanes on both sides of the
vehicle and from the rear part of the front
doors to about 50 m (164 ft) behind the
vehicle.

WARNING
Always check the surrounding area visually
before making an actual lane change:
The system is only designed to assist you in
checking for vehicles at your rear when
making a lane change. Due to certain
limitations with the operation of this
system, the BSM warning indicator light,
the warning sound and the warning screen
indicator display may not activate or they
might be delayed even though a vehicle is
in an adjacent driving lane. Always make it
your responsibility as a driver to check the
rear.
