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 warn-
ing 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 ve-
hicle is in any forward gear or REVERSE
and enters standby mode when the vehicle
is in PARK.
Rear Detection Zones
The BSM warning light, located in the outside mirrors, will illuminate if a vehicle moves
into a blind spot zone.
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.
