The Blind Spot Detection System (BSD)
uses radar sensors in the rear bumper to
monitor and warn the driver of an
approaching vehicle in the driver's blind
spot area.
The system monitors the rear area of the
vehicle and provides information to the
driver with an audible alert and an indi-
cator on the outer side view mirrors.
(1) BSD (Blind Spot Detection)
The blind spot detection range varies
relative to vehicle speed. Note that if
your vehicle is traveling much faster
than the vehicles around you, the
warning will not occur.
(2) LCA (Lane Change Assist)
The Lane Change Assist feature will
alert you when a vehicle is approach-
ing in an adjacent lane at a high rate
of speed. If the driver activates the
turn signal when the system detects
an oncoming vehicle, the system
sounds an audible alert.
(3) RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
The Rear Cross Traffic Alert feature
monitors approaching cross traffic
from the left and right side of the vehi-
cle when your vehicle is in reverse.
The feature will operate when the
vehicle is moving in reverse below
about 6 mph (10 km/h). If oncoming
cross traffic is detected a warning
chime will sound.
