The BSW system uses radar sensors *1
installed near the rear bumper to detect
other vehicles beside your vehicle in an
adjacent lane. In addition to the radar
sensors, the BSI system uses a camera *2
installed behind the windshield to monitor
the lane markers of your traveling lane.

Detection zone
The radar sensors can detect vehicles on
either side of your vehicle within the
detection zone shown as illustrated. This
detection zone starts from the outside
mirror of your vehicle and extends approximately
10 ft (3.0 m) behind the rear
bumper, and approximately 10 ft (3.0 m)
sideways.
The BSW system operates above approximately
20 MPH (32 km/h). If the radar
sensors detects vehicles in the detection
zone, the BSW/BSI indicator light illuminates.
If the driver then activates the turn
signal, a chime will sound twice and the
BSW/BSI indicator light will flash.
The BSI system operates above approximately
37 MPH (60 km/h). If the system
detects a vehicle in the detection zone and
your vehicle is approaching the lane
marker, the BSI system provides an audible
warning (three times), flashes the
BSW/BSI indicator light and slightly applies
the brakes for a short period of time
on one side to help return the vehicle back
to the traveling lane. The BSI system
provides an audible warning and turns on
or flashes the BSW/BSI indicator light even
if the BSW system is off.
WARNING

you will move to ensure it is safe to
change lanes. Never rely solely on the
BSW or BSI system.

lane marker or weather conditions could
lead to improper system operation. Always
