is dangerous. Unequal traction can
cause sudden pulling of the rear
driving wheels. You could lose control
of the vehicle and possibly have a
collision. Accelerate slowly and
carefully whenever there is likely to be
poor traction (ice, snow, wet mud,
loose sand, etc.).

Blind Spot Alert - BSA
(optional)
BSA System
The Blind Spot Alert (BSA) system uses
two radar-based sensors, located inside
the rear bumper fascia, to detect
highway licensable vehicles (cars,
lorries, motorbikes, etc.) that enter the
blind spot zones from the
rear/front/side of the vehicle.
The example shown in the figure
highlights the blind spots on either
side of the vehicle when oncoming
traffic is approaching from behind.
When the vehicle is started, the BSA
warning light will momentarily
illuminate in both outside rear view
mirrors to let the driver know that the
system is operational. The BSA system
sensors operate when the vehicle is in
any forward gear or REVERSE and
enters standby mode when the
transmission is in (P) Park.
The BSA detection zone covers
approximately one lane on both sides
of the vehicle (approximately 3.3 m or
11 ft). The blind spot area extends
from 4 m (13 ft) behind the rear
bumper and 1 m (3.3 ft) in front of it.
The BSA system monitors the detection
zones on both sides of the vehicle
when the vehicle speed reaches
approximately 10 km/h (6 mph) or
higher and will alert the driver of
vehicles in these areas.
WARNING!
The BSA system does NOT alert the
driver about rapidly approaching
