OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using the ParkView® Rear Back-Up
Camera. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to check for pedestrians,
animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before backing up. You must continue
to pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
REAR CROSS PATH WITH BLIND SPOT MONITORING
• The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located inside
the rear bumper fascia, to detect Highway licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks,
motorcycles etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
• The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system warning light, located in the outside mirrors,
will illuminate if a vehicle moves into a blind spot zone.
• The BSM system can also be configured to sound an audible (chime) alert and mute the
radio to notify you of objects that have entered the detection zones.
• Refer to your owner's manual on the DVD for further details.
