vehicle or prevent loss of control. It is the driv-
er’s responsibility to stay alert, drive safely,
keep the vehicle in the travelling lane, and be
in control of the vehicle at all times.
•
The camera unit may not function properly
under the following conditions:
– When towing a trailer.
– When strong light enters the camera unit.
(for example, light directly shines on the
rear of the vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)
– When ambient brightness changes sud-
denly. (for example, when the vehicle en-
ters or exits a tunnel or passes under a
bridge.)
•
If the camera lens is excessively dirty, the au-
tomatic washer may not be able to completely
clean the lens. This could result in the camera
not detecting vehicles or lane markers.
•
Excessive noise (for example, audio system
volume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.
BSW SYSTEM OPERATION
The BSW system operates above approximately
32 km/h (20 MPH).
When the camera unit detects vehicles in the detec-
tion zone, the Blind Spot Indicator light located side
the outside mirrors will illuminate. If the turn signal is
then activated, the system chimes (twice) and the
Blind spot indicator light will start flashing bright
orange to alert you to the presence of vehicle(s) in
the adjacent lane.
The Blind spot indicator light continues to flash until
the detected vehicle(s) leave the detection zone.
Detection zone
The camera unit can detect vehicles on either side
of your vehicle when part of another vehicle is within
the detection zone shown as illustrated.
This detection zone typically starts from the outside
mirror of your vehicle and extends approximately
3 m (10 ft) behind the rear bumper, and approxi-
mately 3 m (10 ft) sideways.
NOTE
The Blind Spot Indicator light will illuminate for a
few seconds when the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position.
