SAFETY 285
The BSM detection zone covers approximately
one lane width on both sides of the vehicle,
10 ft (3 m). The zone length starts at the
outside mirror and extends approximately 20 ft
(6 m) beyond the rear fascia/bumper of the
vehicle. The BSM system monitors the
detection zones on both sides of the vehicle
when the vehicle speed reaches approximately
6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and will alert the
driver of vehicles in these areas.
NOTE:

The BSM system DOES NOT alert the driver
about rapidly approaching vehicles that are
outside the detection zones.

If a trailer is connected to the vehicle, it is
necessary to deactivate the BSM system
manually through the settings menu to avoid
a misdetection. For further information, see
Ú
page 159.
The area on the rear fascia/bumper where the
radar sensors are located must remain free of
snow, ice, and dirt/road contamination so that
the BSM system can function properly. Do not
block the radar sensors located on the rear
fascia/bumper with foreign objects (bumper
stickers, bicycle racks, etc.).
Rear Sensor Locations
The BSM system notifies the driver of objects in
the detection zones by illuminating the BSM
warning light located in the outside mirrors in
addition to sounding an audible (chime) alert
and reducing the radio volume
Ú
page 288.
BSM Warning Light
The BSM system monitors the detection zone
from three different entry points (side, rear,
front) while driving to see if an alert is
necessary. The BSM system will issue an alert
during these types of zone entries.
Entering From The Side
Vehicles that move into your adjacent lanes
from either side of the vehicle.
Side Monitoring
Entering From The Rear
Vehicles that come up from behind your vehicle
on either side and enter the rear detection zone
with a relative speed of less than 31 mph
(50 km/h).
