Blind Spot Information (BSI)*

Alerts you to a detected vehicle in your left or right blind spot while driving 20 mph
(32 km/h) or higher.
When a vehicle is detected in your blind spot, the
blind spot indicator turns on and stays lit until the
area is clear.
When your turn signal is on and a vehicle is detected,
the blind spot indicator blinks and a beep sounds until
the area is clear or the turn signal is off.

WARNING
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to change lanes before doing so may
result in a crash and serious injury or death. Do not rely only on the blind spot
information system when changing lanes.
Always look in your mirrors, to either side of your vehicle, and behind you for
other vehicles before changing lanes.
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, BSI has limitations. Overreliance on BSI may result in a
collision. The system is for your convenience only.

Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)*
Can assist you when there is a possibility of your vehicle colliding with a vehicle or a
pedestrian detected in front of yours.
The system can alert you when a potential

collision is determined, and reduce your vehicle
speed to help minimize collision severity when a
collision is deemed unavoidable.
Blinks
The system activates when:

a vehicle or pedestrian detected in front of you
is about 3 mph (5 km/h) and over with a chance
of a collision.
• Your vehicle speed is about 62 mph (100 km/h) or less and there is a chance of a
collision with an oncoming detected vehicle or a pedestrian in front of you.
Alert Stages
The system has three alert stages for a possible collision. Depending on the

before initiating the last stage.
