If the radar sensors detect vehicles in the detection zone, the Blind spot warning indicator light located near the outside mirrors illuminates. If your vehicle is approaching a lane marker, the system chimes a sound (three times) and the Blind spot warning indicator light flashes. Then the system applies the brakes on one side of the vehicle for a moment to help return the vehicle back to the center of the lane. BSI operates regardless of turn signal usage

NOTE:
Warning and brake control will only be activated if the Blind spot warning indicator light is already illuminated when your vehicle approaches a lane marker. If another vehicle comes into the detection zone after your vehicle has crossed a lane marker, no warning or brake control will be activated. For additional information see “BSW/BSI driving situations” in this section.

The BSI system is typically activated earlier than the Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system when your vehicle is approaching a lane marker.

The BSI system turns on when the dynamic driver assistance switch on the steering wheel is pushed when the “Blind Spot Intervention” is enabled in the settings menu on the meter display.

The BSI ON indicator light (green) on the instrument panel illuminates when the BSI system is turned on.

The BSI system provides a chime and turns on or flashes the Blind spot warning indicator light even if the BSW system is off.
