context. This may result in the rider receiving
incorrect information from the assist system.
Distraction is a common cause of accidents. When
using an assist system, including BSD, the rider must
maintain constant control of the motorcycle, while
also taking into account possible errors (false
indications) of the assist system. The rider must
independently recognize possible danger created by
other vehicles, objects, and pedestrians. Riders must
be cautious in their behavior, including when making
approach maneuvers to other vehicles, approaching
intersections, making turns and braking
appropriately for the circumstances.
Any reference to the speed of the motorcycle in this
Owner's Manual, whether it refers to km/h or miles
per hour, must be understood as exclusively
illustrative of the characteristics and warnings on the
specific performance of the BSD system. The rider of
the motorcycle is always responsible for compliance
with the applicable traffic laws, including speed
limits, in the state or country in which s/he is riding.

Blind Spot Detection function
The Blind Spot Detection helps the rider to monitor
the areas behind the motorcycle and, in particular,
the so-called blind spots.
The function is also known by its acronym BSD, Blind
Spot Detection.
The blind spot is an area behind the rider where a
vehicle could hypothetically be located, which is not
visible to the rider while riding, despite the use of the
mirrors. This presence constitutes a serious danger
of side impact if, for example, the rider initiates an
overtaking maneuver (or a lane change or braking)
when the vehicle in the blind spot is arriving.
