Blind Spot Warning (BSW)
(with Lane Change Assist)*
E00644300084
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) is a driving
aid system that alerts the driver when another
vehicle, which may not be visible through the
outside rear-view mirror, is travelling in the
next lane behind your vehicle.
When a vehicle in the next lane is travelling
at the same speed or faster in the detection
areas, the Blind Spot Warning lamp in the
corresponding outside rear-view mirror will
illuminate. If the turn-signal lever is operated
to the side where the Blind Spot Warning
lamp is illuminated, the Blind Spot Warning
lamp will blink and the system will beep
three times to alert the driver.
Depending on the speed of your vehicle, the
Blind Spot Warning system will detect up to
approximately 70 m from your vehicle.
WARNING
l Before using the BSW, read this entire
section to fully understand the limitations
of this system. Failure to follow instruc-
tions could result in an accident.
l Never rely solely on the BSW system
when changing lanes. The BSW is an aid
only. It is not a substitute for your safe
and careful driving. Always check visually
behind and all around your vehicle for
other vehicles. The performance of the
BSW may vary depending on driving,
traffic and/or road conditions.
