Driving your vehicle
i
Information
• The warning chime will turn off when
the detected vehicle moves out of the
sensing area or if your vehicle is moved
away from the detected vehicle.
• The system may not operate properly
due to other factors or circumstances.
Always pay attention to your surround-
ings.
• If the sensing area near the rear bumper
is blocked by either a wall or barrier or
by a parked vehicle, the system sensing
area may be reduced.
WARNING
•
The warning light on the outer
side view mirror will illuminate
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 (BSD) and
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).
Do not solely rely on the system
but check your surrounding
before changing lanes or backing
the vehicle up.
The system may not alert the
driver in some conditions so
always check your surroundings
while driving.
•
The Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic
Alert (RCTA) are not a substitute
for proper and safe driving prac-
tices. Always drive safely and use
caution when changing lanes or
backing up your vehicle. The
Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) may not detect every
object alongside the vehicle.
NOTICE
• The system may not work properly
when the bumper has been dam-
aged, or if the rear bumper has been
replaced or repaired.
• The sensing range differs some-
what according to the width of the
road. When the road is narrow, the
system may detect other vehicles in
the next lane.
• The system may turn off due to
strong electromagnetic waves.
Non-operating condition
The BSD indicator on the outer side
view mirror may not illuminate
properly when:
- The outer side view mirror housing is
damaged.
- The mirror is covered with dirt, snow, or
debris.
- The window is covered with dirt, snow,
or debris.
- The window is tinted.
