Blind spot information System

Is designed to detect vehicles in specified alert zones adjacent to your vehicle,
particularly in harder to see areas commonly known as "blind spots." When the
system detects vehicles approaching from behind in adjacent lanes, the appropriate
indicator comes on for a few seconds, providing assistance when you change lanes.

1Blind spot information System
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to
change lanes before doing so may result in
a crash and serious injury or death.
Do not rely only on the blind spot
information system when changing lanes.
Always look in your mirrors, to either side
of your vehicle, and behind you for other
vehicles before changing lanes.
