AUXILIARY DRIVING SYSTEMS

Blind Spot Monitoring

The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses
two radar-based 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 detec-
tion 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.

operate when the vehicle is in any forward gear
or REVERSE and enters stand by 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.

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 then
