Driving your vehicle
WARNING
• The warning light on the out-
side rearview mirror will illu-
minate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side by
the system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warning
light and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.
• Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Blind spot detection system.
Do not solely rely on the sys-
tem but check for yourself
before changing lanes.
The system may not alert the
driver in some conditions so
always check the surround-
ings while driving.

CAUTION
• The system may not work prop-
erly if the bumper has been
replaced or if a repair work has
been done near the sensor.
• The detection area differs
according to the roads width.
If the road is narrow the sys-
tem may detect other vehicles
in the second next lane.
• On the contrary, if the road is
very wide the system may not
detect other vehicles in the
next lane.
• The system might be turned
off due to strong electromag-
netic waves.
