The example shown in the figure
highlights the blind spots on either side
of the vehicle when overtaking 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 and on. The BSA system
sensors operate when the vehicle is in
