Introduction to BSM and RCTA

a. The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) is a driver aid that assists the driver to 

make safer decisions when changing lanes.

b. The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) is a driver aid that assists the 

driver to make safer decisions when reversing the vehicle.

c. The BSM and RCTA uses the same radar sensors installed in the rear 

bumper to detect other vehicles approaching user’s vehicle at adjacent 



lanes.

d. There are LED indicator icons located at the left hand and right hand 

side mirrors of the vehicle (see following picture).

e. The LED indicator icons functions to notify driver of an incoming vehicle 

or object within the range of detection.

f. When vehicle engine is started, the LED indicator icons on side mirrors 

will light up for 2 seconds and a beep alert sound.

>

Please ensure vehicle rear bumper is always kept clean 
in order for the sensors to work best.

>

LED indicator icons may be difficult to be seen under 
bright sunlight. Pay full attention on road while driving.
