Blind Spot Warning (BSW) System/Blind Spot Intervention™ (BSI) System/Back-up Collision Intervention (BCI) System (if so equipped)
WARNING
● The radar sensors may not be able to detect and activate BSW/BSI when certain objects are present such as:
– Several types of vehicles such as motorcycles.
– Oncoming vehicles.
– Vehicles remaining in the detection zone when you accelerate from a stop. For additional information See “BSW/BSI driving situations” in this section.
– A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately the same as your vehicle. For additional information see “BSW/BSI driving situations” later in this section.
– A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind. For additional information see “BSW/BSI driving situations” in this section.
– A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly. For additional information see “BSW/BSI driving situations” in this section.
● The radar sensors detection zone is designed based on a standard lane width.
When driving in a wider lane, the radar sensors may not detect vehicles in an adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow lane, the radar sensors may detect vehicles driving two lanes away.
● The radar sensors are designed to ignore most stationary objects, however objects such as guardrails, walls, foliage and parked vehicles may occasionally be detected. This is a normal operating condition.
● Severe weather or road spray conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other vehicles.
● The camera may not detect lane markers in the following situations and the BSI system may not operate properly.
– On roads where there are multiple parallel lane markers; lane markers that are faded or not painted clearly; yellow painted lane markers; onstandard lane markers; lane markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc.
– On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
– On roads where there are sharp curves.
– On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects, such as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining after road repairs.
– On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
– When the vehicle’s traveling direction does not align with the lane markers.
– When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which obstructs the lane camera unit detection range.
– When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the windshield in front of a lane camera unit.
– When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if aiming is not adjusted properly.
– When strong light enters a lane camera unit. (e.g. light directly shines on the front of the vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)
– When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (e.g. when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.) ● Do not use the BSI system under the following conditions because the system may not function properly.
– During bad weather (e.g. rain, fog, snow, wind, etc.)
– When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.
– When driving on winding or uneven roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshift lane.
– When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
● Do not use the BSI systems under the following conditions because the system may not function properly.
– When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire conditions (e.g.
tire wear, low tire pressure, installation of spare tire, tire chains, nonstandard wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspension parts.
● Do not use the BSI systems when towing a trailer.
● Excessive noise (e.g. audio system volume, open vehicle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.
