Blind spot information System*
1Blind spot information System*
Is designed to detect vehicles in specified alert zones adjacent to your vehicle,
particularly in harder to see areas commonly known as “blind spots.” When the
system detects vehicles approaching from behind in adjacent lanes, the appropriate
indicator comes on for a few seconds, providing assistance when you change lanes.
3WARNING
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to
change lanes before doing so may result in
a crash and serious injury or death.
Do not rely only on the blind spot
information system when changing lanes.
Always look in your mirrors, to either side
of your vehicle, and behind you for other
vehicles before changing lanes.
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, blind spot information
system has limitations. Over reliance on the blind spot
information system may result in a collision.
The system is for your convenience only.
Even if an object is within the alert zone, the
following situations may occur.
• The blind spot information system alert indicator
may not come on due to obstruction (splashes,
etc.) and the
message appears on the driver
information interface.
• The blind spot information system alert indicator
may come on even with the
driver information interface.

Turn the system off when towing a trailer.
The system may not work properly for the following
reasons:
• The added mass tilts the vehicle and changes the
radar coverage.
• The trailer itself can be detected by the radar
sensors, causing the blind spot information system
alert indicators to come on.

■ When the system detects a vehicle
Blind spot information System Alert Indicator:
Located on the outside rearview mirror on
both sides.
Blind spot information system may be adversely
affected when:
• Objects (guard rails, poles, trees, etc.) are detected.
• An object that does not reflect radio waves well,
such as a motorcycle, is in the alert zone.
• Driving on a curved road.
• A vehicle is moving from a far lane to the adjacent
lane.
• The system picks up external electrical interference.
• The rear bumper or the sensors have been
improperly repaired or the rear bumper has been
deformed.
Comes On
Comes on when:
Blinks
• A vehicle enters the alert zone from behind
to overtake you with a speed difference of
no more than 50 km/h (31 mph) from your
vehicle.
• You pass a vehicle with a speed difference
of no more than 20 km/h (12 mph).
• The orientation of the sensors has been changed.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, and fog).
• Driving on a bumpy road.
Blinks and a beeper sounds when:
You move the turn signal lever in the direction
of the detected vehicle. The beeper sounds
three times.
• Making a short turn that slightly tilts the vehicle.
For a proper blind spot information system operation:
• Always keep the rear bumper corner area clean.
• Do not cover the rear bumper corner area with
labels or stickers of any kind.
• Take your vehicle to a dealer if you need the rear
bumper corner area or the radar sensors to be
repaired, or the rear bumper corner area is strongly
impacted.
