1Blind Spot Information System*
When the system detects vehicles approaching from behind in adjacent lanes, the
appropriate indicator comes on, providing assistance when you change lanes.
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, the Blind Spot Information
System has limitations. Always look in your mirrors,
to either side of your vehicle, and behind you for
other vehicles before changing lanes. Overreliance on
the Blind Spot Information System may result in a
collision.
How the System works
■
The system activates when your vehicle is moving forward at about 20 mph (32 km/h)
or above.
: Alert Zone 1
: Alert Zone 2
Radar Sensors : underneath
the rear bumper corners
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer in the
following situations:
• The rear bumper or area around the radar sensors
is strongly impacted.
• The indicator does not come on even if a vehicle in
the alert zone should have been detected.
• The rear bumper or any system components need
to be repaired.
A
If the rear bumper or any system components are
repaired, the system will revert to alert zone 1 only
until it is able to adapt and expand to alert zone 1
and 2.
B
C
Alert zone range
A: Approx. 1.6 ~ 10 feet (0.5 ~ 3 meters) from vehicle side.
B: Approx. 10 feet (3 meters) from rear bumper.
C: Approx. 10 ~ 82 feet (3 ~ 25 meters) behind from rear bumper. (The faster the
approaching vehicle, the further away it will be detected.)
For proper Blind Spot Information System operation:
• Always keep the rear bumper and area around the
radar sensors clean.
• Do not cover the rear bumper corner area with
labels or stickers of any kind.
The initially set alert zone is alert zone 1. Over time, after the vehicle has been driven
on straight roads with traffic and roadside objects, the system will adapt and expand
the alert zone (alert zone 1 and 2).

■ When the system detects a vehicle
Blind Spot Information System alert indicator:
The system is for your convenience only. Even if an
object is within the alert zone, the following
situations may occur:
Comes On
Located on the outside rearview mirror on
both sides.
• The Blind Spot Information System alert indicator
does not come on and the message Blind spot
information system not available appears on
the driver information interface.
• The Blind Spot Information System alert indicator
may come on even with the message displayed.
Comes on when:
Blinks
• A vehicle approaches you from behind to
overtake you at a speed difference of no
more than about 31 mph (50 km/h).
• You pass a vehicle at a speed difference of
no more than about 12 mph (20 km/h).
The Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA®) system, brake
system (Amber), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with
Low Speed Follow, low tire pressure/TPMS* and
safety support indicators may come on in amber
along with a message in the gauge when you set the
power mode to ON after reconnecting the battery.
Drive a short distance at more than 12 mph (20 km/h).
Each indicator should go off. If any do not, have your
vehicle checked by a dealer.
Blinks and a beeper sounds when:
You use the turn signal lever to signal a turn in
the direction of the detected vehicle while the
Blind Spot Information System alert indicator
is on.
u The beeper sounds three times.
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.

• An object that does not reflect radio waves well or 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 signal interference such as other radar sensors from another
vehicle or strong radio wave transmitted from a facility nearby.
• The rear bumper or the area around the radar sensors is covered by dirt, mud,
snow, ice, etc.
• The rear bumper or the area around the radar sensors has been damaged or
