BLIND SPOT MONITORING
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar sensors, located inside the rear bumper
fascia, to detect Highway licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motorcycles etc.) that enter
the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
The BSM detection zone covers approximately one lane width on both sides of the vehicle 12 ft
(3.8 m). The zone length starts at the outside rear view mirror and extends approximately 10 ft
(3 m) beyond the rear bumper of the vehicle. The BSM system monitors the detection zones on
both sides of the vehicle when the vehicle speed reaches approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or
higher and will alert the driver of vehicles in these areas.
When the vehicle is started, the BSM warning
light will momentarily illuminate in both outside
rear view mirrors to let the driver know that the
system is operational. The BSM system sensors
operate when the vehicle is in any forward gear
or REVERSE and enters standby mode when
the vehicle is in PARK.
The BSM warning light, located in the outside
mirrors, will illuminate if a vehicle moves into a
blind spot zone.
Rear Detection Zones
The BSM system can also be configured to
sound an audible (chime) alert and mute the
radio to notify you of objects that have entered
the detection zones.
Rear Cross Path (RCP)
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is intended
to aid the driver when backing out of parking
spaces where the vision of oncoming vehicles
may be blocked. Proceed slowly and cautiously
out of the parking space until the rear end of
the vehicle is exposed. The RCP system will
Blind Spot Mirror
then have a clear view of the cross traffic and if
an oncoming vehicle is detected, will alert the
driver. When RCP is on and the vehicle is in REVERSE, the driver is alerted using both the visual
and audible alarms, including reducing the radio volume.
