Vehicles that can be detected

The BSM function uses radar sen-
sors to detect the following vehicles
traveling in adjacent lanes and

of such vehicles via the indicators
on the outside rear view mirrors.

■
Handling the radar sensor
Blind Spot Monitor sensors are
installed inside the left and right sides
of the rear bumper respectively.
Observe the following to ensure the
Blind Spot Monitor can function cor-
rectly.
●
Keep the sensors and the sur-
rounding areas on the rear bumper
clean at all times.
If a sensor or its surrounding area
on the rear bumper is dirty or cov-
ered with snow, the Blind Spot Mon-
itor may not operate and a warning
message (


played. In this situation, clear off the
dirt or snow and drive the vehicle
with the operation conditions of the
BSM function (


approximately 10 minutes. If the
warning message does not disap-
pear, have the vehicle inspected by
a SUZUKI dealer or a qualified
workshop.
●
Do not subject a sensor or its sur-
rounding area on the rear bumper
to a strong impact.
If a sensor is moved even slightly
off position, the system may mal-
function and vehicles may not be
detected correctly.
In the following situations, have
your vehicle inspected by a
SUZUKI dealer or a qualified work-
shop.
• A sensor or its surrounding area is
subject to a strong impact.
• If the surrounding area of a sensor
is scratched or dented, or part of
them has become disconnected.

(including transparent stickers), alu-
minum tape, etc. to a sensor or its
surrounding area on the rear
bumper.
● Do not modify the sensor or sur-
rounding area on the rear bumper.

needs to be removed/installed or
replaced, contact a SUZUKI dealer
or a qualified workshop.

color other than an official Suzuki
color.
