BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)
∗
∗: If equipped
The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that assists the driver in
making the decision to change lanes.
The system uses radar sensors to detect vehicles that are travel-
ing in an adjacent lane in the area that is not reflected in the out-
side rear view mirror (the blind spot), and advises the driver of
the vehicle’s existence via the outside rear view mirror indicator.
BSM main switch
Pressing the switch turns the system on or off. When the switch is set to
on, the switch’s indicator illuminates.
Outside rear view mirror indicators
When a vehicle is detected in the blind spot, the outside rear view mirror
indicator on that side illuminates. If the turn signal lever is operated when
a vehicle is in the blind spot, the outside rear view mirror indicator flashes.
