BLIND SPOT MONITOR (BSM)
The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)
system is a supplement to, not a
replacement for, a safe driving
style and use of the exterior and
rear-view mirrors. The system may
not function under all speeds,
weather and road conditions.
The BSM may not be able to give
adequate warning of vehicles
approaching very quickly from
behind.
The BSM may not be able to
detect all vehicles and may also
detect objects such as roadside
barriers, etc. Drive safely at all
times and use the exterior and
rear-view mirrors to avoid
accidents.
The BSM will not correct errors of
judgement in driving.
The radar sensors may be
impaired by mud, rain, frost, ice,
snow, or road spray. This may
affect the system's ability to
reliably detect a vehicle/object
within the blind spot.
Make sure that the warning
indicators in the exterior mirrors are
not obscured by stickers or other
objects.
Do not attach stickers or objects to
the rear bumper, that may interfere
with the radar sensors.
The BSM system monitors a zone that
covers the area adjacent to the vehicle
that is not easily visible to the driver. The
system uses radar on each side of the
vehicle to identify any overtaking vehicle/
object within the blind spot area of the
vehicle, while disregarding other objects
which may be stationary or travelling in
the opposite direction, etc.
1. Driver's blind spot area.
2. Amber warning symbol in the exterior
mirror. Overtaking vehicle detected.
3. Amber indicator in the exterior mirror.
BSM is not active.
If an object is identified by the BSM
system as being an overtaking vehicle/
object, an amber warning icon illuminates
in the relevant exterior mirror, to alert the
driver that there is a potential hazard in
the vehicle's blind spot and, therefore,
that a lane change might be dangerous.
