Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator light in the combination meter is turned
off.
• The vehicle speed is about 6.3 mph (10 km/h) or faster.
●
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system will not operate under the following
circumstances.
• The vehicle speed falls below about 3 mph (5 km/h) even though the
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator light is turned off.
• The shift lever (manual transaxle)/selector lever (automatic transaxle) is
shifted to reverse (R) and the vehicle is reversing.

warning lights is detected.
• A large deviation in the installation position of a radar sensor (rear) on the
vehicle has occurred.
• There is a large accumulation of snow or ice on the rear bumper near a
radar sensor (rear). Remove any snow, ice or mud on the rear bumper.
• Driving on snow-covered roads for long periods.
• The temperature near the radar sensors (rear) becomes extremely hot
due to driving for long periods on slopes during the summer.
• The battery voltage has decreased.
●
Under the following conditions, the radar sensors (rear) cannot detect target
objects or it may be difficult to detect them.
• A vehicle is in the detection area at the rear in an adjacent driving lane
but it does not approach. The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system deter-
mines the condition based on radar detection data.
• A vehicle is traveling alongside your vehicle at nearly the same speed for
an extended period of time.
• Vehicles approaching in the opposite direction.
• A vehicle in an adjacent driving lane is attempting to pass your vehicle.
