BLIND SPOT WARNING WITH LANE CHANGE ASSIST (BSW)
(IF EQUIPPED)
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) is a driving aid system that alerts
the driver when another vehicle which may not be visible through
the outside rearview mirror is traveling in the next lane behind
your vehicle. When a vehicle in the next lane is traveling at same
speed or faster in the detection areas, the Blind Spot Warning
light in the corresponding outside rearview mirror will illuminate.
If the turn signal lever is operated to the side where the Blind
Spot Warning light is illuminated, the Blind Spot Warning light will
blink and a buzzer will sound to alert the driver.
Depending on the relative speed between your vehicle and a
vehicle in the next lane, the Blind Spot Warning will detect up to
approximately 230 feet from your vehicle.

Warning Areas
REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA) (IF EQUIPPED)
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) is an aid system for backing
up. When the RCTA detects vehicles approaching from sides while
your vehicle is reversing, the Blind Spot Warning lights in the
outside rearview mirrors on both sides will blink and a buzzer will
sound to alert the driver. A warning message will also appear on
the information screen of the Multi-information Display.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert will be activated from 0 MPH when the
vehicle is shifted into Reverse and will detect on-coming vehicles
that are passing behind you. (Note: Minimum speed required
for passing vehicles. See Owner's Manual for details). Rear radar
transceivers will detect on-coming rear traffic and will light up in
the mirror and in the Multi-information Display as well as sound a
warning alert.
The Blind Spot Warning, Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert systems are
driver aids only and are not substitutes for safe and careful driving. Under certain
circumstances, these systems may not detect other vehicles correctly.
